WK4 used as a controlling device
LOCAL OFF -
WK4
AS A MUTE MASTER
KEYBOARD
When WK4 is set for Local Off operation, the key-
board is disconnected from the internal sound
generator. The keyboard transmits MIDI OUT
on channel A1. The sound generator receives
MIDI IN on all tracks of the Performance (play or
mute).
Local Off operation simplifies the connection of
WK4 with an external sequencer, allowing the
keyboard to be used as a controlling device and
the internal sound engine as an expander at the
disposition of the sequencer.
1. Press MIDI in the EDIT section to enter «Edit
MIDI».
2. Press F7 («Local Off») to activate the Local
Off function. Local Off is a general setting
and is not memorized to a Performance. The
keyboard and on-board controllers (pedals)
now act as those of a mute master keyboard,
which transmits on MIDI channel 1 of
group A.
3. At the end of the work session, press F7 («Lo-
cal Off») again to deactivate Local Off.
SUBSTITUTION OF THE
WK4
SOUNDS
WITH THOSE OF AN EXPANDER
An WK4 track can be set to control an external
expander instead of an internal sound. The tracks
that limit themselves to transmitting on MIDI OUT
are set to the
MIDI-transmit status.
In Song mode, it is possible to define a keyboard
zone to assign to the track («Key range» param-
eter in «Edit MIDI»).
1. Program the expander to receive data on the
same MIDI channel as that assigned to the
track. For example, if the WK4 track trans-
mits on channel 8, program the expander to
received on channel 8.
If the expander is multi-timbral, you can pro-
gram it to receive on one channel only. Al-
ternatively, you can program WK4 to trans-
mit on a single MIDI channel (in «Edit MIDI»,
«Configuration» page).
2. Select the WK4 track that is intended to con-
trol the expander.
3. Press MIDI in the EDIT section to enter «Edit
MIDI».
4. Press F2 («Configuration») to go to the «Con-
figuration» page.
5. Select the internal generation icon and set it
to OFF. Set the MIDI OUT icon to ON.
6. Press ESCAPE to exit «Edit MIDI».
7. Assign the track the ProgramChange corre-
sponding to the sound of the expander. If
the expander is General MIDI compatible, you
can use the buttons of the SOUND GROUPS.
8. Press STORE PERFORMANCE to save the
track configuration to the current Perform-
ance. Confirm with ENTER.
