3. Operative modes
The instrument can function in different “modes”,
each of which groups together functions that are for its
own particular use. In order to choose a mode you
need to press a button in the MODE section.
Arrangement Play mode
Arrangement Play is the main operative mode. When
the instrument is turned on it is always in this mode,
where you can select the arrangements you wish to
use. There are 192 arrangements in total, organized as
64 arrangements in each of the three banks A, B, and
USER. The arrangements in the USER bank are freely
modifiable and can be used to load new data from a
disk.
Each arrangement uses a style and two programs (that
is two sounds) organized on the keyboard according
to a combination set by the buttons in the Keyboard
Mode and Keyboard Assign sections.
The styles are made up of musical material with which
a song or accompaniment can be constructed, and con-
tain “patterns” (musical structures) of a particular
genre of music, e.g. rock, pop, or ethnic music.
Each style contains 4 variations, 2 intros (introduc-
tions), 2 endings and 2 fill-ins. The styles can detect
which chord is being played on the keyboard and they
adapt the patterns to that chord.
The styles consist of six tracks: drums, percussion,
bass, accompaniment tracks AC1, AC2 and AC3. These
six tracks are referred to as the Backing Tracks, since
they provide the rhythmical and harmonic backing.
Whilst playing you can modify several arrangement
parameters (e.g. the volume of the instrumental parts),
however if you stop the accompaniment, or decide to
select a different arrangement, your edits will be lost.
If you wish to keep the changes that you have made,
use the Write function of “Page 13: Write Arrange-
ment”. Changes are stored in the USER banks.
Backing Sequence mode
Backing sequence mode allows you to record or play-
back a song you have played using an arrangement as
backing.
The main parts of a backing sequence are the three
arrangement tracks (keyboard track, controls track
and chord track). The controls track records button
selections of the front panel; the chord track records
the sequence of the chords; the keyboard track records
whatever is played freely on the keyboard. Of course,
you can leave the keyboard track empty and play it
live.
In addition to the arrangement tracks, there are eight
tracks referred to as Extra Tracks, and you can use
these tracks to record other free parts.
Program mode
The sounds played on the iS40/iS50 are called “pro-
grams”. The instrument has a total of 400 programs,
organized into six banks (A, B, C, D, E, F-USER) with
64 programs each, plus a DRUM bank which contains
16 DRUM programs (14 ROM +2 USER). In the Pro-
gram mode, you can edit previously recorded pro-
grams in order to create new ones, which can be used
in the arrangements, songs and backing sequences.
