NOTES
When the keyboard is shipped from the factory, the user area (tones
200 to 231) contain the same tones as tones 128 through 159.
You cannot use a drum set tone (192 to 199) as the basis of a user tone.
Whenever you save a tone and assign it one of the tone numbers in the
user area, any tone data previously assigned to that number is replaced
with the new data.
The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies power
to the memory to retain memory contents while keyboard power is turned
off. See Lithium Battery Precautions on page E-4 for important infor-
mation about the lithium battery.
You can use the keyboards MIDI capabilities to save your original tones
to a computer or other external storage device. See Bulk Sending Key-
board Data on page E-65 for details.
With the WK-1800, you can use the built-in disk drive to save original
tones to diskette. See Using the Floppy Disk Drive (WK-1800 Only) on
page E-67 for details.
Creating a User Tone
Use the following procedure to select a preset tone and change its
parameters to create a user tone.
1.
First, select the preset tone you want to use as a basis
for your user tone.
2.
Press the SYNTH button.
This causes the indicator lamp next to the SYNTH button to
light and displays a screen that shows whether the tone you
selected is a DCO1 or DCO2 tone.
3.
Use [̇ ] and [̈] to display the parameter whose set-
ting you want to change.
Each press of [̇] or [̈] changes to the next parameter. See
Parameters and Their Settings on this page for informa-
tion about each parameter.
4.
Use [+] and [] to change the setting of the currently
displayed parameter.
You can also use the number keys to input a value to change
a parameter setting. See Parameters and Their Settings be-
low for information on setting range for each parameter.
5.
If the preset tone you selected in step 1 is a 2DCO
tone, press [̄] twice to display the DCO2 parame-
ters.
6.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to set the DCO2 parameters.
Press [̆] two more times to return to the DCO1 parameters.
7.
Play something on the keyboard.
To save the tone you created, perform the procedure under
Naming a User Tone and Storing It In Memory (page E-
35), starting from step 2.
To exit user tone creation and return the tone to its original
parameters, press the SYNTH button twice or the TONE but-
ton once.
