Assignable expression pedal functions
* In the Arrangement Play or Backing Sequence
mode pages where it is possible to select arrange-
ments or styles.
** The i40M can detune single notes by a quarter tone
(50 cents), particularly for use in Middle Eastern
music. In order to program this, you need to use a
pedal with open-type polarity, such as the Korg PS-
1 or the Korg PS-2 connected through its right jack.
See the next paragraph, “Setting quarter tones”.
Setting quarter tones
You can program an Arab scale in realtime, by assign-
ing a footswitch or an EC5 pedal the “Quarter tone”
function. The selected scale must be the Main Scale
(this function has no effect on the Sub Scale).
When you modify one note it reflects on all the notes
with the same name in the other octaves (for example,
if C4 is modified, C3, C5, etc. will also be modified).
In the Backing Sequence mode, quarter tones only
work on the real time tracks (both on the recorded
notes, and the notes received by MIDI IN).
To lower a note by a quarter tone: Keep the pedal
pressed, then press the MEMORY-CHORD button.
While the MEMORY-CHORD led is off, play the note
you wish to lower by a quarter tone. Release the pedal.
