Getting Started • Introduction
"0" position the VOCAL/GUITAR section is not
sent to the built-in speakers and the OUTPUT jacks.
The VOLUME knob controls the level of the
VOCAL/GUITAR section on the built-in speakers,
the OUTPUT jacks and the headphones.
Note: Use the GAIN knob located next to the INPUT-
IN jack to adjust the input level at best. Connect the
instrument, start playing and check the color of the
SIGNAL led on the control panel: if it is red, distortion
is present and the gain must be decreased; if it is
orange, distortion is close and the gain should be
decreased slightly; if it is green, the level is correct. If
the led does not light up, the input level is too low and
the gain must be increased.
Suggestion: If the INPUT-IN jack is not used, set the
volume on zero to avoid any interference or residual
noise.

The headphones

Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack
located on the rear panel.
Use stereo headphones with a standard jack. Adjust
the volume with the MASTER VOLUME slider.

Connecting a MIDI controller

The iS35 can be controlled with another MIDI device,
such as a MIDI keyboard, a digital piano, a MIDI
accordion, a guitar controller, a wind controller, a set
of percussion pads or an external sequencer. For
detailed information see "MIDI" on page 51. Let's now
illustrate two of the most common situations: connect-
ing a MIDI keyboard and connecting a MIDI accor-
dion.
Connecting a MIDI keyboard
The iS35 can be controlled with any MIDI keyboard,
such as a master keyboard or another synthesizer with
MIDI OUT jack.
Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the MIDI key-
1
board to the MIDI IN 1 jack of the iS35 using a
standard MIDI cable.
2
Program the keyboard to transmit over the MIDI
1 channel.
According to the factory settings, the MIDI 1 chan-
nel is the channel used by the iS35 to receive most
information. For example, channel 1 corresponds to
Global that allows for using all the functions
related to the split point (Keyboard Mode section).
For more information on Global programming, see
"MIDI" on page 51 and the "GLB (Global)" on
page 153.
Note: If the keyboard transmits over the MIDI chan-
nel dedicated to the iS35 Global, the keyboard will
become the integrated keyboard of the iS35.
Suggestion: If the keyboard does not transmit over
the Global channel, see "MIDI" on page 51 for more
information.
