New Release 11•1
• 11 New Release (OS update)
The latest release of the WK3 Operating System
further enhances the instrument’s automatic fea-
tures and some of the RealTime specifications,
adding five new functions to those already avail-
able. In addition, some of the general character-
istics of the instrument have been optimized.
List of the optimized features
1. Disk Loading procedures.
2. The “Direct-from-Disk” procedure with MIDI
Files containing Lyrics.
3. All types of MIDI Files.
4. Bass to lowest with first and second chord
inversions.
5. Sound Banks.
6. Microphone sampling.
7. Effect editing.
8. Real Time Performances.
9. Song/Style recording.
The new functions are:
1. AUTO ARRANGE - an option which allows the
Arrange On/Off button to be automatically acti-
vated by pressing the Start/Stop button when
WK3 is set to operate in Style/RealTime mode.
This method of enabling the Style accompani-
ment tracks ensures that the current Style is ac-
tivated whenever you press Start/Stop. The op-
tion is disabled by default. You can enable Auto
Arrange in the Arrange Mode/Split section. See
“How to set the new functions” on page 4.
2. FINGERED 1 - an additional chord recogni-
tion function added to the existing three (the origi-
nal “Fingered” option is renamed Fingered 2).
When selected, Fingered 1 provides the full ac-
companiment pattern with a three note chord.
With one or two notes, the chord is not recog-
nised. Fingered 1 is accessed on page 2/3 of
the Arrange Mode/Split section. See “How to set
the new functions” on page 5.
3. AUTO NAME - if you save a single file to disk
(Song, Style, MIDIFile), the original name of the
file is copied to RAM and then to floppy disk. This
provides you with two possibilities: a) you can
save the file to disk with its original name (avoid-
ing the additional step of writing a name for the
file) or, b) save the file with a dif ferent name.
Refer to the example on page 7 for details of how
save a file using the Auto name function.
4. PRESELECT SONG OR STYLE MODE DUR-
ING PLAY - While WK3 is in Style or Song play-
back mode, it is possible to preselect a different
playing mode. This allows automatic entry into
the preselected mode the instant you press Stop,
without having to carry out additional selections
of the required Song or Style.
5. OPTIMIZATION OF THE WS COMP ATIBIL-
ITY - The recognition of Disk-based WS Songs
and Styles has been optimized further, both in
Play mode as well as in Loading situations, per-
mitting a wider listening possibility of all WS back-
ing files. In addition, a conversion programme
has been implemented, compatible with the Atari,
which permits the reading of WS files created
using the “Chain compose” feature. For further
information, contact your nearest Generalmusic
dealer.
