The arrangements
What are styles and
arrangements
The iS35 features an automatic accompaniment system
based on styles and arrangements. Playing with this
system is just as if you had a real band backing you
with six instruments: three harmonic instruments,
bass, drums and a percussion set.
The styles give the accompaniment musical phrases,
while the arrangements give the sounds, the effects
and some general parameters, such as the metronome
tempo, the type of Intro/Ending used, etc. In general,
the style is the "musical style" and the arrangement is
its "instrumentation".
You can select the arrangements while playing and
play live with the three keyboard tracks Upper 1,
Upper 2 and Lower (two tracks at a time: Upper 2 and
Lower will exclude each other).
The iS35 allows for creating arrangements, while the
styles must be created with other systems and loaded
from disk. Contact your dealer for more information.
Selecting an arrangement
The iS35 includes 192 arrangements divided into three
banks of 64 each (64 in bank A, 64 in bank B, and 64
programmable in bank USER).
The arrangement families are listed in the top section
of the control panel. The complete list of the arrange-
ments is contained at the end of this guide (see
page 219).

The style (and the accompaniment patterns)
changes and:
• also the keyboard programs (Upper 1, Upper 2, and
Lower tracks) will change if the SINGLE TOUCH
LED is on;
• if the TEMPO led is off, also the metronome time
changes.
Note: The arrangement can memorize the status of
the control buttons. Therefore when changing the
arrangement, you can also select one of the two fills,
one of the two intros or one of the four variations.

detected will depend on the type of connection, on
the split point, on the status of the CHORD SCAN-
