Save Operations
Even though the back-up memory saves your
programmed data when the instrument is turned
off, it is still necessary to save data to disk for
proper storage and safety reasons. The RAM
should be seen as a work area which can con-
stantly be updated and not as a data storage
media.
The WK3 RAM is backed by a rechargeable bat-
tery to safeguard the data when the instrument
is turned off. For security reasons, however, it is
wise to store your data to disk (Save) for future
use.
WK3 data can be saved to disk using one of the
following methods:
• as single elements (Save Song, Save Style,
Save MidiFile, Save Sample);
• as a set of files corresponding to Groups
(Save Styles [User 1 and User 2 Groups],
Save Performances (Performance Groups]);
• as an “ALL” data set containing all data
present in RAM.
In order to save a single element, you must spec-
ify a name for the relative file. The “All” data set
does not require a name.
SAVING SONGS
Save your WK3 Songs to disk in order build a
library. WK3 Songs can originate from MidiFiles
loaded into memory, from WS Songs files load-
ed using the “Load mode” option, from CD Songs,
or your own recordings.
Songs can be saved as a single element
(SaveSong) or as an “ALL” data set together with
all other data in memory.
Songs carry their associated Song-Performanc-
es and relative settings to disk in order that they
play correctly when loaded into memory again.
WK3 Song extension
Single songs are identified by the “.WK3” exten-
sion.
SAVING MIDI FILES
If you want your WK3 Songs to be read by an-
other musical instrument or computer, save them
to an MS-DOS or Atari disk as MIDI Files (SMF 1
multi-track format).
To save GM compatible MIDI Files, set the Gen-
eral MIDI parameter to ON (see Edit MIDI, pa-
rameter «SET»). The Song-Performances are
converted into track data (Bank Select MSB and
LSB, Program Change, Volume, Pan, CC91 and
CC93 for the effects depths).
If the Song contains Lyrics, the text is converted
into Lyric events and the resulting SMF File will
correspond to a Karaoke format MidiFile.
All WK3 Songs saved as MidiFiles will also con-
form the GMX format in order to be played on
other instruments of the WK Series (WK4).
MIDI File extension
WK3 Songs, when converted to Standard MIDI
Files, are identified by the “.MID” extension.
SAVING STYLES
The User Styles correspond to the two User
Groups of the Style/Song Groups.
