kit must be installed by an Authorized Korg Service Centre. The instruments contain live parts that may cause serious personal injuries. Do not install the kit on your own. Korg declines any responsibility in case of damages to persons or properties caused by the opening of the instrument by unauthorized personnel. iS35 and i40M Owner’s Manual The Korg iS35-HD or i40M-HD is an iS35 or i40M provided with hard disk. If you have an iS35, you can convert it into an iS35-HD with the “HDK-iS35” kit. If you have an i40M, you can convert it into an i40M-HD with the “HDK-i40M” kit. Installation must be carried out by an Authorized Korg Service Centre. The iS35-HD or i40M-HD is basically an iS35 or i40M. Refer to the iS35 or i40M Owner’s Manual for information on how to use the instrument. This manual describes the functions related to the hard disk in the Disk/Global, Song Play and Song Edit operating modes. Hard disk structure The iS35-HD or i40M-HD hard disk is divided into partitions. A partition is a disk unit that is separate from the other ones. Each partition must be considered as an highcapacity disk capable of containing the same data as a disk (midifiles, styles, arrangements, programs, etc.). Introduction

Just like in an MS-DOS® computer, partitions are identified by a letter or number from C and Z, and from 1 to 9. The number of partitions is set by Korg when producing the hard disk. Each partition can contain up to 224 files. Hard disk automatic stop The hard disk automatically stops when not used. It starts again and gets ready in a few seconds when you perform an operation on it. Displaying the songs in alphabetical order In the previous releases of the operating system, songs were displayed in the order in which they were saved on the disk. The iS35-HD or i40M-HD operating system displays the songs in alphabetical order, making it easier to search a song on the hard disk. Selecting the songs with the numerical keypad In this release of the operating version, you can select the songs by entering the progressive number that was automatically assigned when saving them. The progressive number is displayed on Page 1 in the Song Play mode. See “Selecting the songs with the progressive number” on page 5. New Disk functions The “Copy” (see “Copying a file” on page 9) and “Format HD” (see “Formatting the hard disk” on page 11) functions have been introduced to make file management on the hard disk easier. Upgrading the operating system The iS35-HD and i40M-HD operating system can be upgraded by loading the new system from disk. The new operating system can be downloaded from www.korg.it.

If, for instance, you save the song MICHELLE first and then MYWAY, RAGTIME, and CHOPIN the following numbers will be assigned to the songs:

When you delete a song, its progressive number will become free. If you save a new song, the new song will be saved in the free location. If, for instance, you delete the song RAGTIME and save PRELUDE the order of the songs will be as follows: Using the hard disk

Note: Numbers cannot be manually assigned to the songs. The number is always assigned automatically when saving the song on disk. The number of the selected song is shown on the display on Page 1 in the Song Play mode: Song number Entering the number in the iS35-HD When you are on Page 1 in the Song Play mode, the ARRANGEMENT section can be converted into a numerical keypad used to select the songs. Since the number assigned to the song is always a three-digit number, it may be necessary to enter one or two zeros before the number (i.e. “9” becomes “009”).

Use the buttons in the ARRANGEMENT section to enter the number. For instance, to select song number 95, press 0 (A or B), 9 (USER), and 5 in a sequence. To select song number 9 press 0 (A or B), 0 (A or B), and 9 (USER) in a sequence.

Other functions Copying a file The COPY FILE function (CPY) allows for copying files from a disk to a hard disk partition, or from a hard disk partition to another partition. All the file types recognized by the instruments (arrangements, styles, backing sequences, programs, midifiles) can be copied. Note: Files cannot be copied within the same disk unit (i.e. from partition HD-C to partition HD-C).

Move the cursor to UTIL (UTILITY) and press ENTER/YES. The Utility page will appear on the display. Other functions

Hold the DISK/GLOBAL or TRK SELECT button pressed and use the TEMPO/ VALUE buttons (or the DIAL) to select the disk unit (partition or disk drive) that contains the files to be copied. The name of the origin disk unit is shown on top left.

Move the cursor to the name of the disk unit to which the files must be copied in the second line of the display and select the destination unit with the TEMPO/VALUE buttons (or the DIAL). Now you can copy the files in any of the three procedures indicated below: A - Copying a single file This function allows you to copy a single file from the origin to the destination unit.

Move the cursor to the name of the file to be copied.

Select the file with the TEMPO/VALUE buttons (or the dial).

Press ENTER/YES to start copying. Note: The “FILENAME.MID exists” message will appear (where FILENAME is the name of the file being copied) if the destination unit contains a file under the same name. Press ENTER/YES to confirm copying or EXIT/NO to cancel. The first free progressive number will be assigned to the file. B - Copying all the midifiles (songs, .MID files) This function allows you to copy all the midifiles contained in the disk or hard disk partition.

Move the cursor to the name of the files to be copied.

Hold the [UP/+] button pressed to go to the end of the song list. The last item but one on the list is the “MIDI Files” option. Select this option.

Press ENTER/YES to start copying. Note: When copying all the midifiles, the files in the origin disk unit will be merged with the files in the destination disk unit. If the origin disk unit contains files that

already exist in the destination unit, the existing files will be deleted and replaced with the files from the origin disk unit. For instance, if the “MICHELLE.MID” file exists both in the origin and destination unit, the file in the destination unit will be deleted and replaced with the file from the origin unit. The copy function identifies the free progressive numbers and assigns them to the new files. The progressive numbers that are still free will be assigned to the remaining files. For this reason, the progressive number assigned to the songs in the destination unit may be different from the number they have in the origin unit. See “Selecting the songs with the progressive number” on page 5. C - Copying all the files This function allows you to copy all the files (arrangements, styles, backing sequences, programs, midifiles) contained in the disk or hard disk partition.

Move the cursor to the name of the file to be copied.

Hold the [UP/+] button pressed to go to the end of the song list. The last item on the list is the “All Files” option. Select this option.

Press ENTER/YES to start copying. Note: When copying all the files, the files in the origin disk unit will be merged with the files in the destination disk unit. If the origin disk unit contains files that already exist in the destination unit, the existing files will be deleted and replaced with the files from the origin disk unit. As regards the midifiles (songs, .MID files), the copy function identifies the free progressive numbers and assigns them to the new files. The progressive numbers that are still free will be assigned to the remaining files. For this reason, the progressive number assigned to the songs in the destination unit may differ from the number they have in the origin disk unit. Formatting the hard disk The procedure used to format disks is described in the Owner’s Manual. This section illustrates how to format the hard disk. Each hard disk partition must be individually formatted once the “HDK-iS35” or “HDK-i40M” kit has been installed. Formatting will only delete the partition you have selected, not the entire hard disk. Other functions

Move the cursor to UTIL (UTILITY) and press ENTER/YES. The Utility page will appear.

Move the cursor to FMT (FORMAT) and press ENTER/YES. The Format page will appear.

Select the desired hard disk partition as described in “Selecting the disk unit” on page 3.

Press ENTER/YES to start formatting. The “Already formatted. Continue?” or “Disk contains xx files. Continue?” message will appear if the partition has already been formatted or contains data.

Warning: All data contained in the partition will be deleted! Press EXIT/NO to cancel

Press ENTER/YES to confirm formatting.
