The keyboard tracks (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower)
The keyboard tracks
The keyboard tracks (Upper 1, Upper 2 and Lower) are
used to play "live" over the automatic accompaniment
tracks.
You can have two tracks at the same time, since Upper
2 and Lower exclude one other.
If the keyboard tracks are played by the integrated
keyboard, or by an external control device connected
over the special Global channel, the split point – and
the KEYBOARD MODE section in general – will be
taken into consideration. In this case:
• if the Keyboard Mode is SPLIT, the Upper tracks
can play above the split point and the Lower track
below the split point;
• if the Keyboard Mode is FULL UPPER, the Upper
tracks can play on the entire extension.
Note: If notes are received from channels other than
Global, the tracks will ignore the split point. If the channel
assigned to the track coincides with Global, Global has
the priority and the split point is taken into consideration.
For the assignation of the MIDI channels to the tracks and
Global, see page 153.
Assigning the keyboard tracks
to the keyboard
If the iS35 is played using the integrated keyboard, or
is connected to a master keyboard over the special
Global channel (see pages 52 e 54), you can assign the
tracks to the keyboard using the buttons in the KEY-
BOARD MODE section.

Press M.DRUM to play the drum kit on the key-
board.
Press SPLIT to split the keyboard in two parts.

The Upper 1 and/or Upper 2 tracks can play on the
right-hand side of the split point, while the Lower
track can play on its left-hand side.
Use the buttons in the KEYBOARD ASSIGN sec-
tion to activate or deactivate the tracks.
Note: The Upper 2 and Lower tracks exclude one
other.

Upper 2 tracks on the entire keyboard.

again.
Activating and deactivating the
keyboard tracks
The keyboard tracks can be activated or deactivated in
two ways:
• using the buttons in the KEYBOARD ASSIGN sec-
tion (the led lights up when the track is playing);
• using the UP1 and UP2/LOW buttons in the VOL-
UME/PROGRAM section (press two buttons
together to mute the track; press one button to acti-
vate it again).
Note: The Upper 2 and Lower tracks exclude one other.
When UPPER 2 is selected, LOWER is automatically deac-
tivated, and vice versa.

section) to activate the Upper 1 track.
Press the button to select the Upper 1 track.

vate the Lower track.
