USING WK1 IN SONG MODE WITH A COMPUTER OR EXTERNAL SEQUENCER
If you prefer using a computer to record your Songs, in order to fully exploit the advanced
features available, read carefully the following instructions.
The aim is to have
WK1 WK1
WK1 WK1 WK1 keyboard to generate MIDI messages to transmit to the com-
puter sequencer:
• Connect the WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 MIDI OUT to the sequencer MIDI IN.
• Connect the WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 MIDI IN to the sequencer MIDI OUT.
In this setup (Song mode), with the correctly assigned MIDI channels, the MIDI messages
generated by
WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 keyboard are transmitted by WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 MIDI OUT, received by the sequencer
MIDI IN and recorded by the sequencer software. By pressing PLAY in the computer
sequencer, the MIDI messages are transmitted by the sequencer MIDI OUT and received
by
WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 MIDI IN.
Via MIDI, you can send messages from the sequencer and make all the modifications
and setting as you would normally do on
WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 control panel. You can set sounds, volumes,
pan, select and modify effects etc.
When you send messages to WK1 to select Sounds, the messages must be transmitted
on the MIDI channel assigned to the track containing the Sound you wish to modify. To
select
WK1 WK1
WK1 WK1 WK1 sounds, you must first send a Control Change 00 command (Bank Select)
followed by a Program Change command. The Sound table (with the corresponding
MIDI messages for selection) can be found in the Appendix.
To use the described setting, it is advisable to set the track used to send data to the
computer sequencer to “Local Off” .
Set the computer sequencer to retransmit all the MIDI messages received to WK1.
Depending on the software used, this retransmitting function is identified by different
designations: “echo”, “echo on”, “echo back”, “patch thru”, “soft thru”, “midi thru”, etc.
By setting the track used to send data to the computer sequencer to “Local Off” ,
playing on the keyboard will produce no sound. Nevertheless, data are transmitted to
the sequencer via MIDI. The sequener echoing function retransits the same MIDI received
data directly to WK1 sound generator. Consequently, you can hear the sounds coming
again from WK1 keyboard.
If you do not set the track to “Local Off”, when the “echo” function is active on the
computer, you will hear a double note sound with each note played: the first note is
generated by the internal (Local) connection between the keyboard and the sound
generator, the second is generated by the external MIDI connection from the keyboard
to the sequencer, back to the sound generator.
The Computer Port
As an alternative to the MIDI connections just described, you can use the COMPUTER
port and a single serial cable. The COMPUTER port disables the MIDI port.
Apple Macintosh
Macintosh (o compatibles) communicate at the speed of 1 MHz. Read the computer
Software manual for reference.
Use a standard serial cable of the DB8 type to connect
WK1 WK1
WK1 WK1 WK1 to the MacIntosh
MODEM port.
Set the COMPUTER parameters to MAC in “MIDI/GENERAL” .
IBM PC
IBM PC (or compatibles) may communicate at the speed of 31250 baud (PC1) or 38400
baud (PC2).
Use standard serial cables of the DB8-DB9, DB8-DB25 types connect WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 to the PC
serial port.
Set the COMPUTER parameters to PC1 or PC2 in “MIDI/GENERAL”.
