In almost all cases, the Song Styles will have all tracks engaged by the sequencer. You can check this at a glance by
looking at the status of the tracks in the display. If they are all on, this means that they are all used by the sequencer.
If one or more tracks are off, this indicates that they are not engaged by the sequencer. If you want to play along with
the Song Style during playback with one of the keyboard tracks, you can either:
To Play a Song Style in Real Time
Note:
The accompaniment tracks can only be deactivated. Refer to the
[SONG]

Song Styles offer an excellent means of preparing backings for a soloist. For example, you can record two keyboard
tracks (Upper 2 & Lower) with accompaniments, then use Upper 1 to play the melody in real time with the Song Style in
playback. Song Styles record all panel interventions made during the recording: changes of Style, use of the Intro, Fills,
Endings, Fade In/Out, activation/deactivation of the effects, Harmony On/ Off and more. The events generated by the
panel interventions are recorded in the COMMON track. The COMMON and CHORDS tracks activate automatically
entering the Song Style Record mode. Before recording a Song Style, it is convenient to completely erase the sequencer
memory in order to exploit the total RAM capacity but more importantly, to be able to save the Song Style without
unwanted elements. As the Song Style is saved as an
[ALL]
data set, therefore, whatever is contained in RAM will also
form part of the Song Style; better, therefore, if the Song Style is recorded with a clean, empty RAM to start with. To
clear the RAM of all the contents, refer to the CLEAR function towards the end of this chapter. Use the Clear option
.InitSEQ. (This will retain all your Performances and Samples).
Song Style Recording
Press the
RECORD
button: the fi rst free Song Style location is automatically
set up for the recording.
Entering the Song Style record mode
While you’re playing the WK2000 SE records the panel situation and all the operations that you carry out. The
CHORD track is automatically activated only if empty. The keyboard tracks are recorded only if their relative
indicators are shown on in the display. You can decide to start without or with the auto accompaniment.
Pressing now
PLAY/STOP
the sequencer starts to record and allows you
to record the real time tracks without the accompaniment.
