Loading arrangements in the A and B banks
The A and B arrangement banks are reserved to factory-set
arrangements, while the USER bank is reserved to the arrange-
ments loaded from disk.
However, you can load different arrangements in the A and B
banks to personalize the basic material of the iS40/iS50.
Warning:
This operation must only be performed by expert
users, since it modifies the basic material of the instrument. In
case of problems after you have performed the operation, you
can retrieve the original arrangements from www
.korg.it. Or you
can reload all the original data from the disk supplied with the
instrument.
Warning:
Do not load arrangements using USER styles in the A
and B banks. If other styles are loaded from disk, the arrange-
ments may no longer work properly.
1. Create a personalised arrangement bank in the USER bank.
2. Save the contents of the memory in a new file. Press DISK/
GLOBAL to enter the Disk/Global mode.
3. Move the cursor to <SAVE> and press ENTER/YES.
4.
Mov
e the cursor to <ARR> and press ENTER/YES.
5. Give a name to the file and confirm with ENTER/YES.
6. At the end press EXIT/NO to go back to page 1 in the Disk/
Global mode.
7. Move the cursor to <LOAD> and press ENTER/YES.
8.
Select <ALL> and press ENTER/YES.
9.
Select <ARR> and press ENTER/YES.
10. Select the file in which the arrangements have been saved
with the TEMPO/VALUE buttons (or the dial).
11. If you wish to load the arrangements in the A bank, hold the
A button of the ARRANGEMENT section pressed and press
ENTER/YES. To load the arrangements in the B bank, hold
the B button of the ARRANGEMENT section pressed and
press ENTER/YES.
Compatibility with Korg i30 data
In spite of the differences between the two instruments, the iS40/
iS50 can load data from Korg i30 disks. You can load Program,
Arrangement, Style. There are however some limitations which
are due to the differences between the two instruments. When
loading has been completed, it may be necessary to adjust the
loaded data.
Disk operations that can be used with Korg i30 disks
• Load All Program, Load All Arrangement
• Load One Program, Load One Arrangement, Load One Style
Disk operations that cannot be used with Korg i30 disks
• Load All Data (Load>All>All), Load All Backing Sequence
• Load One Backing Sequence
• Load Global
Moreover, the i30 songs saved in “proprietary” format (.SNG) are
not saved, either in the Song Play or Song Edit mode.
Limitations when loading Programs
• Only the first i30 64 Programs will be loaded (i30 and i40
Programs F11-88).
• Only the first i30 16 Styles will be loaded (C11-18, C21-28).
If you select an Arrangement which uses a Style with a
number higher than C28 in the i30, the display will show the
correct Style number, but with the
InvalidStyle
name. The
Style will not play. If you press TEMPO/VALUE [-] the USER
Styles will be selected.
• Since the i30 has four effect processors for the internal tone
generation, while the iS40/iS50 has two, the effects assigned
to the accompaniment tracks in the i30 will be assigned to all
the tracks in the iS40/iS50.
Loading data from a Korg i30 disk
Following is the procedure used to load all the programs (Load
All Program) from a Korg i30 disk. You can use the same proce-
dure to load other types of data (arrangements, styles), selecting
a different type of data.
1. Insert the Korg i30 disk into the disk drive.
2. Press the DISK/GLOBAL button.
3. The <LOAD> item is selected by default. Press ENTER/YES
to access the Load page.
4. Select the desired Load operation. Always keep in mind the
limitations described in the previous paragraphs.
5. Use the TEMPO/VALUE buttons (or the DIAL) to scroll the
list of directories contained in the disk.
