Assignable expression pedal functions
* In the Arrangement Play or Backing Sequence
mode pages where it is possible to select arrange-
ments or styles.
** The iS35 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 real time, by assign-
ing a footswitch or a KORG 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 Arrangement Play and Backing Sequence
modes, quarter tones only work on the keyboard
tracks (both on the recorded notes, and the notes
received by MIDI IN).
To lower a note (or more notes) by a quarter tone:
Keep the pedal pressed The MEMORY-CHORD LED
must be off. Play the note(s) you wish to lower by a
quarter tone. Release the pedal.
To raise a note (or more notes) by a quarter tone:
Keep the pedal pressed. The MEMORY-CHORD LED
must be on. Play the note(s) you wish to raise by a
quarter tone. Release the pedal.
To cancel the quarter tone setting: Press and release
the pedal. If you assign a different option to the
“Assignable pedal” setting the quarter tones will be
cancelled. The setting will be cancelled when the
instrument is turned off.
