SPECIFICATIONS

• Polyphony & multitimbricity

Maximum polyphony: 64 voices . Multitimbric-

ity: 16 parts (Song mode) or 8 parts (Style

mode). Each part is assigned to a track. In

Style mode, 5 tracks are assigned to the auto-

accompaniment section and 3 tracks to the

keyboard.

• Sound Generation

Sounds are based on sampled waveforms

(PCM, Wavetables and Subtractive Synthe-

sis technology) and modified by a series of

macro functions. The instrument’s 32 oscilla-

tors generate “single” Sounds (32-note poly-

phonic) or “layered” Sounds (16 note poly-

phonic), depending on the number of oscilla-

tors used to elaborate the Sound (1 or 2).

• ROM Sounds

ROM (permanent memory) contains 4 Mega-

bytes of samples, which are the source of al-

most 400 ROM-Sounds.

• Sound Edit

WK3’s Sound Edit function permits quick mod-

ification of Sound and Drumkits, producing E-

Sounds (“Performance-Sounds”) which are

stored in the Performances. The modifications

are stored in Performance tracks to allows

Songs, Styles or Performances to load the cor-

rect sounds.

• Sample-RAM

WK3

is fitted with a battery-backed Sample-

RAM dedicated to the storage of Samples.

Disk-based Samples can be loaded into Sam-

ple-RAM, or can be recorded with the

WK3

sampler, a feature made available by install-

ing the optional Audio/Video Interface.

• Digital Signal Processor

WK3

features an on-board Two Digital Effects

Processors, controlled in real time, enrich the

sound with effects (reverbs and modulations).

Each Performance can store its own effects

configuration and an editor is available to cre-

ate user-effects which are stored in the Per-

formances.

• Sequencer

The 16-track Sequencer includes a series of

functions that allow Style, Song/Style and

Song recording (real time system), playback

and editing. Also featured is a Lyrics function

(Text) which displays Song lyrics during play-

back. The Quick Rec function allows the rap-

id recording of a Song/Style by using existing

Styles. The standard System-RAM allows you

to store up to 7 Song/Styles and 7 Songs.

• Chain, Preload, Play Direct from Disk

The Chain function allows you to chain the

Song/Styles and Songs in memory and play

them one after the other with a single com-

mand. The Preload function allows you to

load new data into memory (Songs: WK for-

mat and Midi files) while the sequencer is in

play or while you play in real time. The Di-

rect-from-Disk function allows you to play a

Song or MIDI File directly from disk without

loading the data into memory.

• Automatic Accompaniments

Styles provide automatic musical accompa-

niments, consisting of 5 tracks. Every Style

has 4 Variations. Up to 16 disk-based Styles

(User programmable) can be loaded and au-

tomatically stored in memory.

• Disk Drive

Data can be stored on 3.5” HD floppy disks in

WK3 format (1.44 megabyte) or standard MS-

DOS (1.44 megabyte). The Atari ST/Falcon
