If you wish to control an expander or other MIDI instruments using wk1000 as a master keyboard, read the follow-
ing instructions carefully.
CHORD CHANNEL
Use this function to connect a MIDI accordion. Chord channel can only receive data from the MIDI accordion and control
wk1000 automatic accompaniment. Follow the standard procedure to assign a MIDI channel. Press ESCAPE to return
to the main Menu. Press and hold down STORE PERFORMANCE and then press ENTER to save the current MIDI setting
to the Performance.
Note:
a correct setting of the Common and Chord functions is the key condition to ensure full compatibility with a
MIDI accordion. (For details refer to the chaper “CONTROLLING wk1000 FROM A MIDI ACCORDION”).
MIDI NUMERATION
MIDI data are numbered from 0 to 127. Some instruments may adopt 1 to 128 numeration. When using external devices
that adopt a different numeration, the appropriate conversation should be applied between one system and the other.

NOTE: Program the track as you wish, setting sounds, volumes, pan, effects etc.
The MIDI channels of the wk1000 sections must match those of the ex-
pander. (Alternatively, consult the expander’s owner’s manual to program
the expander’s sections to match those of the wk1000).
Set wk1000 to operate in Real Time mode and play at least three sounds at the same time (Upper 1, Upper 2 and
Lower keyboard sections). In Song Mode only one track is made available for Real Time operation. In the Real Time
mode setup, the MIDI messages generated by wk1000 keyboard, travel from wk1000 MIDI OUT port to the expander
MIDI IN. If you have set both instruments to the same MIDI channels, when you play on wk1000 keyboard, you will
hear the sound coming from both the keyboard and the expander. If you wish to exclude the sounds generated by
wk1000 and only hear those coming from the expander, you can either set wk1000 track volume values to Zero, or
set wk1000 tracks to
[LOCAL OFF]
(as explained in the MIDI/GENERAL Chapter ). If you save a Performance with
zero volume on the tracks you can listen to the expander only. Using the
[LOCAL ON/OFF]
parameters and setting
the tracks corresponding to the keyboard sections (F7/F9) to
[OFF]
, you can disconnect the keyboard from wk1000
internal sound generator. The data transmitted from the keyboard will only be sent to MIDI OUT, and you will only
hear the expander sound.
