IntroductionThank you for purchasing the GEM SK760/SK880 World Keyboard by Generalmusic.The SK760/SK880 is a multimedia keyboard workstation which offers several ways of interfacing withthe instrument. With the optional A/V card, a musician can connect his instrument to the SK760/880,mix his sounds with those of the workstation (complete with effects processing!) and follow a musicscore which can be projected on a monitor connected to the instruments video outputs. At the sametime a group of singers can follow the lyrics projected on the monitor (television or other video projectiondevice) by the SK760/880 video interface.

TWO VERSIONS OF A POWERFUL WORKSTATIONThe SK Series World Keyboard is produced in two versions: the SK760 standard and the SK760 Pow-er Station, the SK880 standard and the SK880 Power Station. All two versions incorporate a Flash-ROM memory which allows the instruments to be up-dated by disk with the latest operational advantag-es and new functions.The basic Operating System, which features an advanced Edit Sound function and the Sample Trans-lator, is common to all three versions. The SK760/880 Power Station is supplied with a factory-fittedHard Disk containing a vast library of Songs and User Styles.

FEATURES OF THE WK6 & WK8

Polyphony/multitimbral capabilities

Maximum polyphony: 64 voices. Multitimbric-

ity: 16 parts (Style/RealTime modes) or 32

parts (Song mode). Each part is assigned to

a track. In Style/RealTime mode 8 tracks are

assigned to the keyboard and the other 8 to

the auto-accompaniment section.

Sound generation

Based on sampled waveforms (Wave), modi-

fied by programmable digital filters (DCF, Dig-

itally Controlled Filters). Waves are assigned

singularly or in pairs to up to a maximum of 3

Layers, to obtain Sounds consisting of a max-

imum of 6 Waves per voice.

ROM-Sounds

ROM (permanent memory) contains up to 16

megabytes of samples which are the source

of over 1,000 ROM-Sounds.

RAM-Sounds

You can load disk-based RAM-Sounds based

on samples contained in ROM. RAM Sounds

can be supplied by Generalmusic, by third par-

ties, or can be created by the user with the

sound editor program. Sounds can be loaded

from SK760/880, WK6/8, WK4, SK, PS and

WX/SX Series disks.

Edit Perf-Sound/Sound Patch

The Edit Perf Sound and Edit Sound Patch

functions permits quick modification of Sounds

and Drumkits to produce Performance-

Sounds. The modifications are stored in Per-

formance tracks to allow Songs, Styles or

Real-Performances to load the correct sounds.

Sound Edit

SK760/880 features and advanced, powerful

and highly flexible Sound Edit section that

takes you deep into the heart of sound syn-

thesis at its very best. You can shape enve-

lopes, control Waveforms and open and close

filters with the help of high definition graphical

representations projected on the display. The

Sound Edit also features the Sample Transla-

tor, an incoporated Waveform creating pro-

gram which allows you to create new Sounds

starting from disk-based samples or data re-

ceived via MIDI.

Volatile Sample RAM (optional)

It is possible to install up to 32 megabytes of

additional Sample-RAM via standard 30 pin

computer SIMMs (single in-line Memory Mod-

ules) obtainable from most computer outlets.

Digital Effects Processor

Four Digital Effects Processors, controlled in

real time, enrich the sound with effects (reverbs

and modulations). A flexible matrix allows dif-

ferent effects to be assigned to every track.

Sequencer

The 32 track, 250 event/16 Song sequencer

has a Microscope function (microscopic edit)

and Score facility (to display Score, chords and

Lyrics). The QuickRec recording method al-

lows the rapid recording of Songs by using ex-

isting Styles.

Jukebox & Preload

The Jukebox function allows you to chain the

Songs in memory and play them one after the

other with a single command. The Preload

function allows you to create a list of disk-

based Songs or MIDI Files and play them all

by means of a single command, without first

loading all data in memory.

Automatic accompaniment

The internal ROM Styles provide automatic

musical accompaniments, consisting of 8

tracks. Every Style has 4 Variations. Up to

32 disk based Styles (User programmable) can

be loaded and automatically stored in the bat-

tery backed system memory. Each Style can

also be automatically reconfigured by means

of up to 8 associated Style Performances.

Disk drive

Data can be stored on 3.5" HD floppy disks, in

SK760/880 expanded format (1.6 megabyte),

standard MS-DOS (1.44 megabyte) or Atari ST/

Falcon format (720 Kb). SK760/880 is able to

initialize disks for every format. It is possible to

load RAM-Sounds, Styles and Songs from

SK760/880, WX2, SX2 floppy disks. If Sam-

ple-RAM is present, it is also possible to load
