Gmx Format; Loading Songs And Midi Files; Loading Styles; Loading Performances - GEM WK2 Owner's Manual

In the WK2, Sound Banks 1 and Drumkit Bank 2 are fully GM compatible. WK2 recognises
GM compatible MIDI Files, thanks to a messages contained in the MIDI File (General MIDI
ON). If this message is not detected, sounds that differ to a Drumkit may be assigned to
MIDI channel 10.
To ensure correct loading of GM compatible MIDI files that do not contain the "General MIDI
ON" flag, set the General MIDI parameter to ON in the «Edit MIDI» pages. WK2 can save
GM compatible MIDI Files when the General MIDI parameter is set to ON.

GMX FORMAT

The GMX format is an extension of General MIDI specifically created by Generalmusic
which renders the first three sound banks of all WK Series instruments completely compat-
ible.

LOADING SONGS AND MIDI FILES

Up to 7 locations are available in RAM (111-117) to load Songs and MidiFiles. The locations
are accessed by moving the display arrowhead next to the SONG menu function and speci-
fying the relative number on the left hand selection keypad.
It is also possible to select a SONG location by specifying the relative Song number (111-
117) directly, without first positioning the arrowhead.
WK2 can also load Songs from CD Series, WK3 and PK7 Songs disks.

LOADING STYLES

Up to 8 locations are available in RAM to load disk-based USER Styles (96-103).
WK2 can also load Styles from CD Series, WK3 and PK7 Styles disks.

LOADING PERFORMANCES

Up to 63 locations, divided into 7 Groups of 9, are available in RAM to load Performances.
The Performance locations are accessed with the + and – buttons of the right hand selec-
tion keypad (provided that the display arrowhead is NOT positioned next to the PERF menu
function). As well as the Performance settings, the contents of the Direct Style Memory and
Direct Sound Memory buttons is also loaded.
WK2 can also load Performances from WK3 and PK7 disks.

LOADING SAMPLES

Samples are loaded directly to the battery-backed Sample RAM.
WK2 can also load Samples from CD Series, WK3 and PK7 disks.

LOADING SONG STYLES

Song Styles can only be loaded into memory using the «Load All» procedure, as this kind of
file exploits various different sections of the instrument at the same time. Only WK2 Song
Styles are compatible.
