detailed description of these channels is contained in
the following pages.
Other information.
The MIDI is a vast, articulated
world. This guide will only refer to the use of the MIDI
with the iS35. For more information, refer to special-
ized books and magazines.
The special channels
The Global channel
For information on the programming of the Global
channel, see “GLB (Global)” on page 153.
The Global is a special channel that allows for simulat-
ing the iS35 integrated keyboard. When the iS35 is con-
nected to a master keyboard, transmission should take
place over the Global channel of the iS35.
According to the factory settings, the Global is pro-
grammed over channel 1 when the instrument is
turned on. Since most of the MIDI controllers transmit
over channel 1, the MIDI controller and the iS35 are
immediately operative by simply connecting a MIDI
cable, if no modifications have been made.
The Global channel has the priority over the other
channels. For example, if the Global is programmed
over channel 1 and a track is programmed over chan-
nel 1 as well, the Global (with its settings and charac-
teristics) will control the track, not the standard
channel 1.
The MIDI messages received over the Global and not
over a standard channel are affected by the buttons of
the KEYBOARD MODE section (such as the split
point). Therefore, if the SPLIT button led is lit up, the
notes that arrive to the iS35 over this channel will be
divided by the split point into the Upper (above the
split point) and Lower (below the split point) parts.
The notes that arrive to the Global channel are used for
the chord recognition of the automatic accompani-
ment. If the KEYBOARD MODE is SPLIT, only the
notes below the split point will be used. These notes
will be combined with the ones of the special Chord 1
and Chord 2 channels.
The Global channel does not work in Song Play, Song
Edit, and Backing Sequence when the Extra Tracks are
selected. The reason is that in these operative mode the
information need to be channelled separately.
The Global channel works in Arrangement Play and
Backing Sequence when the arrangement tracks are
selected. It also works in Program mode, where all the
other channels are deactivated.
The Chord 1 and Chord 2
channels
For information on the programming of the Chord
channels, see “CHORD 1” and “CHORD 2” on
page 154.
The notes that go through the Chord 1 and 2 channels
are used for the chord recognition of the automatic
accompaniment. The notes will be combined with the
notes that go through the Global channel (under the
split point if the SPLIT led is lit up).
The Chord channels are not affected by the split point
and the KEYBOARD MODE section of the control
panel. All the notes – both above and below the split
point – will be sent to the chord recognition.
The buttons of the CHORD SCANNING section have
a particular effect on the Chord channels:
• if you have selected LOWER, the chord recognition
mode will be set by the “ChordRecog (Chord rec-
ognition mode)” parameter in the Global mode (see
page 162);
• if you have selected UPPER or FULL, the chord rec-
ognition mode will always be Fingered 2 (you need
to play at least three notes in order for the chord to
be detected).
These two channels are especially useful for accordion
players to assign a different Chord channel to the
chords and the bass played with the left hand. In this
way, chords and bass will participate to the creation of
chords for the chord recognition of the automatic
accompaniment.
The Keyboard Set channel
For information about programming the Keyboard
Set channel, see the paragraph “KBSET (Keyboard
Set)” on page 154.
The Keyboard Set channel is used to receive the pro-
gram change messages for the selection of the Key-
board Set.
