Basic concepts
In this chapter you will fi nd the basic concepts to make WK2000 SE work, along with general information that will help you
understand the various parts of the instrument. To gain access to the keyboard functions, as well as following the instructions
in the Owner’s Manual chapter, you can follow a friendly shortcut: by holding down the key of the function you wish to modify,
WK2000 SE will automatically set into the desired function edit mode.
BASIC CONCEPTS
The WK2000 SE operates in three main modes:
Style, Song Style and Song
Song Style mode
: to record the keyboard sounds with accompaniments and
create 8-track Songs. To enable this mode, press the STYLE button (led ON),
select the desired number (104-110) on the numeric keypad and press the
RECORD key.
Song mode
: to playback Songs from a disk or from the memory. To enable
this mode select the Song number (111-117) on the numeric keypad.
Style and Real Time mode have a common Performance. In Style mode up
to 8 tracks can play simultaneously, while only up to 3 can play in Real Time
mode. Performances are edited in the same way in both modes. Style/Real
Time Performances are always divided into two parts:
• the
fi rst 5 tracks are dedicated to the automatic accompaniment;
•
the other 3 tracks are dedicated to the keyboard sections
(Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower) to play in Real Time
Style/RealTime mode
: to play with the accompaniments or use WK2000 SE
as a normal keyboard. To enable this mode, select one among the 63 PER-
FORMANCES or a STYLE from the Style selection keypad. This is the default
mode when WK2000 SE is started.
