Introduction iii
new samples from disk (as RAM -Sounds).
MS-DOS compatibility permits MIDI file ex-
change with other instruments and computers.
Hard disk
SK760/880 (Power Station) can be fitted with
a 2.5” IDE or E-IDE internal hard disk (max. 2
Gigabytes). The standard model can be up-
graded with the optional Generalmusic Hard
Disk installation kit, available from authorized
Generalmusic stores and should be installed
by a qualified service technician. A compati-
ble IDE hard drive can be purchased from most
computer outlets.
Score view
The display can show the score, the lyrics and
chord symbols of a song. It is also possible to
connect SK760/880 to a video system (moni-
tor, domestic TV, closed circuit video) by
means of the Generalmusic Audio/Video card
(optional) to display score and lyrics on a tele-
vision (or other external video device). Lyrics
can be projected onto a monitor during a per-
formance to allow others to sing with the play-
er.
Audio/Video card with Vocal Processor
The optional Audio/Video card installation kit
offers the possibility of processing Mic/Line sig-
nals with the instrument’s internal Effects Proc-
essor, of projecting Song lyrics onto an exter-
nal video device (TV, monitor, etc.), and in-
cludes the Vocal Processor function to add
vocal harmonies to your performance.
Advanced MIDI operation & System
Exclusive
SK760/880 has two independent MIDI circuits
(A and B), offering up to 32 MIDI channels, with
MIDI-merge and MIDI-thru functions and Sys-
tem Exclusive communcation.
Direct connection with a computer
The Computer jack permits the connection of
computers not fitted with a MIDI interface to
SK760/880 via a single serial cable.
SCSI port (optional)
For off-line storage, SK760/880 can be fitted
with a SCSI port, so you can store files on an
external storage device connected via the
SCSI port (ZIP™, JAZ™, Hard Disks, etc.).
This also makes it possible to load files from a
CD-ROM drive. A SCSI port can be installed
in all models by means of Generalmusic’s op-
tional SCSI installation kit, available from all
authorised Generalmusic outlets. Installation
should only be carried out by authorised Gen-
eralmusic service centres. The WK8 leaves
the factory predisposed for the SCSI port for
easy installation.
Multitasking operating mode
The Multitasking operating system allows you
to execute several operations simultaneous-
ly, such as modifying sounds while a song is
playing, loading a song during song play, for-
matting a disk while playing.
Up-dateable operating system (OS)
Since the operating system resides in a flash-
ROM, it is possible to load updates from flop-
py disk. Operating system updates can add
new functions to the instrument.
