THE TRACKS AND THE TRACK CONFIGURATION
The term “Tracks” has been mentioned several times therefore, at this stage, it is
important to clarify what a Track is and what “Track configuration” refers to.
Tracks and the Real Time Performance
A Track NOT utilised by the Sequencer can contain a Sound to play in real time on the
WX keyboard or on an external controlling device connected at the WX MIDI IN.
For each Real Time Performance track, you can regulate an appropriate set of parameters
and the entire set of elements can be memorised by the Performance.
Tracks and the WX Sequencer
If a track is engaged by the Sequencer, it can contain a certain “string” of events (or notes)
and an assigned Sound.
In a typical example, a Song consists of a Drum track containing a sequence of recorded
notes that make up the Rhythm, a Bass track that provides the Bass accompaniment, a
Guitar track for an arrangement, and so on....
The Track Configuration
The Track Configuration refers to the individual status of every track of the Performance
with respect to its “reaction” with the keyboard, whether it accepts MIDI IN events and
the destination (internal sound engine or MIDI Out) of the events it generates.
The Track Configuration can be programmed in the Edit Performance mode (see the Edit
section chapter from more details).
The number of Tracks in Real Time Performance mode
◆ From one to sixteen tracks can be assigned to the keyboard or exploited by an
external sequencer.
The number of Track in Styles (and Song Styles) mode
◆ Four tracks (from numbers 1 to 4) can be engaged by the WX Sequencer (usually,
drum, bass and two accompaniment), or assigned to the keyboard or exploited by
an external sequencer.
◆ Two tracks (from numbers 5 to 6) can be assigned to the keyboard, or used by an
external sequencer.
The number of Tracks in Song mode
From one to sixteen tracks freely assignable to the WX Sequencer or keyboard, or
to an external sequencer;
1 LYRICS track to store the eventual song lyrics;
1 CHORDS track to store the chord symbols;
1 SCORE track to store the melody line written as musical notes on a staff.
