Loading the operating system

Preparing an iS40/iS50 operating system disk
An iS40/iS50 operating system disk must be prepared if you
have downloaded the operating system from www.korg.it. The
operating system is contained in a compressed directory named
"IS40-30.sit" or "IS40-30.ZIP".
Extract the files contained in the compressed directory ("IS40-
30.sit" or "IS40-30.ZIP"). The system creates a folder named
"IS40-30", which contains two files: "970956.IS" (the operating
system) and "iS40_30-ENG.PDF" (this document is in Adobe
Acrobat format. Acrobat can be downloaded from the Adobe site
www.adobe.com).
Copy the operating system file "970956.IS" in a Dos/Windows or
iS40/iS50 disk.
Note: Macintosh users can prepare disks in Dos/Windows for-
mat only if their computer is provided with utilities such as PC-
Exchange, DOS-Mounter or AccessPC. The latest Macintosh
computers are provided with PC-Exchange. Refer to Mac docu-
mentation and Help.
Saving the contents of the iS40/iS50 memory
Loading the new operating system will not delete the data con-
tained in the instrument memory (arrangements, styles, pro-
grams). In any case, if the memory contains new data that differ
from the KORG default data, we recommend to save the con-
tents on a disk, in order to avoid the risk of losing data because
of problems when loading the operating system.
The KORG default data are also contained in the Accessory
Disk disk supplied with the most recent instruments. If neces-
sary, you can download them from www.korg.it.
1. Insert a formatted disk into the disk drive.
2. Press DISK/GLOBAL to access the Disk/Global mode.
3. Select <SAVE> and press ENTER/YES.
4. Select <ALL> and press ENTER/YES.
5. Name the new file (the system automatically assigns the
name NEW_FILE that can be modified by the user).
6. Press ENTER/YES to confirm. At the end, remove the disk
and keep it in a safe place.
Loading the new operating system
1. Insert the operating system disk into the disk drive.
2. Turn on the instrument, while holding the REC/WRITE and
EXIT/NO buttons pressed.
3. The display shows the operating system identification num-
ber (970956) and loading automatically starts.
4. The message "Update Completed - Power Off" appears
when loading is completed.
5. Turn off the instrument and turn it on again.
6. If you wish, you can set the "Master Transpose Lock" para-
meter on ON (see page 8 in this manual).
New functions in the Arrangement
Play mode
Arrangement Preview
The Arrangement Preview function allows for viewing the name
of the arrangement before selecting it. In the Arrangement Play
mode:
1. Press one of the ARRANGEMENT BANK buttons.
2. Enter the tens number (this operation can be skipped).
3. Scroll the arrangement list with the TEMPO/VALUE buttons.
4. Press ENTER/YES to select the desired arrangement.
Program Preview
The Program Preview function allows for viewing the name of
the program before selecting it. In the Arrangement Play (or
Song Play) mode:
1. Press one of the PROGRAM BANK buttons.
2. Enter the tens number (this operation can be skipped).
3. Scroll the program list with the TEMPO/VALUE buttons.

Recall Arrangement
In the main page (Page 1) of the Arrangement Play mode, while
the accompaniment is playing, press EXIT/NO to recall the pro-
gramming of the keyboard tracks saved in the Arrangement.
For instance, if a Keyboard Set is selected, if a different Program
is selected, or if a track is transposed, the keyboard tracks will
play differently from what originally programmed in the Arrange-
ment. To recall the original Arrangement programming, press
EXIT/NO while the accompaniment is playing.
When in another page, press EXIT/NO to go back to the main
page and press EXIT/NO again to recall the programming saved
in the Arrangement.
Note: The Recall Arrangement function only works while the
accompaniment is playing. If the accompaniment is not playing,
the pressing of EXIT/NO in Page 1 of Arrangement Play has no
effect.
Drum Mapping
This function allows for modifying the drums part of the Style
with only one action. The Drum Mapping replaces some instru-
ments in the drums kit, without changing the notes.
The new function is on Page 6 of the Arrangement Play mode. A
different Drum Map can be chosen for each Style Variation.
There are eight Drum Maps (1...8). Drum Map 5 corresponds to
the original pattern programming.
The settings are only valid for the selected Arrangement and can
be memorized by saving the modifications in a new USER
Arrangement.
