8 • Programmable Styles (User)
WK1 sequencer memory can store up to 7 programmable User Styles
(96 - 103) which can either be loaded from disk or programmed by the
user. An extensive User Style library, available on Generalmusic Floppy
Disks, offers a large selection of User Styles to choose from. Styles can
be created according to two methods. The easier of the two consists in
modifying existing Styles. The second method, which may be more
complex but is sure more interesting, is programming Styles from scratch,
creating every single part of the Style (Drums, Bass, Acc.1, Acc.2, Acc.3,
Variation, Intro, Fill e Ending).
Use the MODE, COPY, CLEAR, and QUANTIZE to program a Style (these
keys are more frequently used in Style Playback mode, as Fills, Tap
Tempo and Fade functions).
Follow the steps below to program your own Style.

(U01:DRM:Maj>) is ready to record the “Major” Riff. The relative Program
Change number in the Drums track starts blinking in the display.
If you play on the connected keyboard, you will hear a drum sound with each
note you play.
