How to load a file from disk
Note: The iS35 incorporates a new type of disk drive,
in which no “click” sound is heard when the disk is
inserted into place.
The “Accessory Disk” supplied with the instrument
contains files that can be loaded into the USER banks.
Inserts the disk into the drive. Press DISK/GLOBAL in
the MODE
[16]
section to open the “Disk” page.
While (LOAD) is selected, press ENTER/YES to open
the “Load” subpage.
While (ALL) is selected, press ENTER/YES to open
the “Load All” subpage. Now the ALL files are
selected. Press ENTER/YES to view the ALL files con-
tained in the disk.
Use the TEMPO/VALUE buttons (or the dial)
[5]
to
scroll the contents of the disk. When the name of the
file you wish to load appears on the display (i.e. “FAC-
TORY”), press ENTER/YES to load it. ALL files can
contain styles, arrangements, and programs for the
USER banks. They can also contain backing sequences,
songs and Keyboard Sets.
Note:
The”FACTORY.ALL” file contained in the “Acces-
sory Disk” contains all the factory settings of the iS35.
You can load it to recall the original settings of the iS35.
How to format a disk
Before saving data on a disk, you need to format the
disk in a format that is recognizable by the instrument.
The iS35 is compatible with MS-DOS®, therefore you
can format the disk on a DOS, Windows™, or Macin-
tosh® computer (Finder command “Initialize disk… >
DOS”).
To directly format a disk with the iS35, take a 3.5” HD
“blank” (that is new and never used before) disk or a
disk with data that you do not mind losing. The disk
must be unprotected, that is it must have only one vis-
ible hole. If you can see two holes, the disk is protected
and you need to remove the plastic flap to closed one
of the holes.
Do not use the disk supplied with the iS35, otherwise
you will lose the data contained in it!
Insert the disk you wish to format in the drive, press
DISK/GLOBAL in the MODE
[16]
section (or press
EXIT/NO if you are in the Disk/Global mode). Select
the (UTIL) option with the CURSOR buttons and press
ENTER/YES to open the “Utilities” subpage. Select
(FORMAT) with the CURSOR buttons and press
ENTER/YES to begin formatting. The message “For-
mat disk?” or “Continue?” will appear. Press ENTER/
YES to confirm.
In a couple of minutes the disk will be formatted and
the message “Completed” will appear on the display.
How to save the contents of memory on
disk
Insert a formatted disk into the disk drive. Press
DISK/GLOBAL to open the “Disk” page. Select
(SAVE) with the CURSOR buttons and press ENTER/
YES to open the “Save” subpage. Select (ALL) with the
CURSOR buttons and press ENTER/YES to give the
new file a name.
The name of the file you wish to save will appear (the
name is “NEW_FILE” before it is modified). Select the
character you wish to modify with the CURSOR but-
tons and choose a character with the TEMPO/VALUE
buttons (or the dial). Once you have assigned a name,
press ENTER/YES twice to save the file.
Do not assign the name of an existing file on disk to
the new file, otherwise the former will be erased!
