14 Owner’s Manual
• 2 Basic concepts
In this chapter, you’ll find information regarding the principal elements that make WK2 work,
including useful information which will help you to understand the structure of the instru-
ment.
To gain access to the functions, as well as following the instructions outlined below, it is also
possible to follow a shorter and more direct route: by holding down the corresponding
function button for about 2 seconds, WK2 enters automatically into the edit of the function.
This method allows rapid interventions and shortens your editing times.
Style, Song Style and Song
The WK2 operating modes are:
Style/RealTime mode: to play with the accompaniments or use WK2 as a con-
ventional keyboard. To activate this mode, select one of the 16 Direct Style Memory
buttons, or one of the 63 PERFORMANCES or a STYLE (from the Style selection
keypad). WK2 powers up in this mode every time it is turned on.
Song Style mode: to record the keyboard sounds with accompaniments and create 8
track Songs. To activate this mode, move the arrowhead to the left of the display with
the cursor [ ] and [ ] buttons until it points to the SONG menu function, or specify the
corresponding SONG STYLE number (104-110) on the STYLE/SONG numeric keypad.
Song mode: to play disk-based Songs loaded into memory. To activate this
mode, move the arrowhead to the left of the display with the cursor [ ] and [ ] buttons
until it points to the SONG menu function, or select the SONG by specifying the corre-
sponding number (101-117) on the STYLE/SONG numeric keypad.
STYLE AND REALTIME MODES (STYLE ACCOMPANIMENTS OFF)
Style and Real Time modes have a
Performance
in common.
Styles can play up to 8 (5+3) tracks simultaneously while Real Time up to 3. Both modes
have identical Performance editing tasks.
Style/RealTime Performances are always divided into two parts:
the first 5 tracks are dedicated to the auto-accompaniment;
the remaining 3 are assigned to the keyboard sections (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower) which
play in real time.
Sounds and accompaniments can be recalled by:
selecting a Style (by specifying the corresponding number on the Style/Song selection
keypad or by using the Direct Style Memory buttons);
or
selecting a Performance (by moving the arrowhead to the PERF menu function, or
pressing the Performance Recall button, and selecting a Performance with the function
buttons F1…F9 under the display).
