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. SK760/880 model is also
predisposed fora SCSI port which can be installed via an optional
Generalmusic SCSI kit.The Standard model can be fitted with
optional kits for Power Station and Mega Station facilities, and
allmodels can be fitted with the SCSI port.
HOW TO USE THE OWNERS MANUALTo ensure long, trouble-free
operation, please read this manual carefully. The Owners Manual is
sup-plied as a 3-ring binder with instructions inserted
inside.First, read the Quick Guide chapter while operating the
SK760/880 which explains the functions ofeach button and the
display. This will help you understand the basic operation of the
instrument. Graphicalillustrations are included for a better
understanding of the instrument.Once you are acquainted with the

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
