INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, and thanks for purchasing Generalmusic’s WK4 World Keyboard! Your World Key-
board is packed with high quality sounds and auto accompaniments, advanced professional features
and a simple user interface with a graphic display allowing total control of all the performance and
programming activities.
MULTIMEDIA FACILITIES
The WK4 is a multimedia keyboard workstation which offers several ways of interfacing with the instru-
ment. With the optional A/V board, a guitar player can connect to the audio inputs of the WK4 and play
the chords which appear on a monitor connected to the instrument’s video outputs, and mix his sounds
with those of the workstation (complete with effects processing!). At the same time a group of singers
can follow the lyrics projected on a television (or other video projection device) by the WK4 video
interface.
THE OWNER’S MANUAL
The Owner’s Manual is supplied as a 3-ring binder with instructions inserted inside.
How to use the manual
Do not use it as a paperweight: read it. If you understand how WK4 operates, you can save a lot of time.
You are encouraged to experiment with alternative operating methods: the
WK4 is sufficiently flexible to
permit several approaches to obtain the same results. This User Guide offers information on three
different levels of complexity: as numbered pictures or images, as brief instructions and as detailed
instructions. You can limit yourself to following the images only, or by reading the bold black type, or by
referring to the normal text containing detailed instructions.
The second part of the manual contains the Reference Guides which describe the instrument’s func-
tions in detail without discussing procedures. Experienced users can limit themselves to the reference
chapters.

1. Insert the disk in the disk drive.
The first step in loading songs from a
disk is to insert a disk containing com-
patible songs into the disk drive of the
WK. This instrument is compatible with
WX Series songs, Standard MIDI Files
and of course, WK Series songs.
