SAVING MIDI FILES

If you your Songs to play on instruments of other manufacturers, or on computers, you must
save them as MIDI Files on Ms-Dos or Atari format disks. WK2 saves format 0 MIDI Files.
To save General MIDI (GM) compatible MIDI Files, be sure that General MIDI parameter is
set to ON (see the MIDI/GENERAL chapter). Performance track parameters are converted
to the corresponding MIDI controllers (Bank Select MSB and LSB, Program Change, Vol-
ume, Pan, Control Change 91 and 93 for the Effects).
If the Song also contains a Lyrics track, this is converted into Lyric events, and the resulting
file takes the form of a Karaoke MidiFile.
All WK2 Songs saved as MIDI Files conform to the GMX format, to maintain compatibility
with all instruments of the WK Series instruments with an on-board Disk Drive.

SAVING SONG STYLES

Song Styles can only be saved to disk using the "Save All" procedure. This type of file
utilises several different sections of the instrument at the same time, therefore, "Save All" is
the only suitable procedure available.
