MIDIJAY MANUAL UPDATE RELEASE 3.0
MIDI FILES LINKED & SYNCHRONIZED TO WAVE WITH TEMPO CONTROL!
An amazing feature which allows you to link and synchronize a Wave file (or SFX, or DJLoop) to a Midi file. Here is how to do this:
Select a midi file and press Play. As it plays, press the Record button and choose your wave (or SFX) to be linked to the Midi file.
Press the ENTER button whenever you want the Wave file to be played with the Midi file. Of course you can repeat this procedure all the
time with different waves as well, hence having more than one wave file linked to a Midi file.
When completed, press STOP to stop the Midi file. Midijay will now display a ‘Saving procedure message.
Press Save to confirm it! This procedure stores a Sys Exclusive message located for any wave “linked” to this midi file.
If you get a wrong “insert beat“ of the wave ...don’t worry about it!! You can further import this midi file (via USB or floppy) into a sequencer
editor such as Cubase ® , Logic ® , Cakewalk® or another and edit these Exclusive message.
Now you can move these events in the correct bar, measure or duplicate Sys Exclusive (Copy and paste) on this midi file as you would like!
The best performance will be obtained when you use a loop (or several loops) on a midi file and ... at last ... change the BPM of it!! Here
how to do this!!
1) Choose a midi file (e.g. with 120 BPM)
2) Choose one (or more) loops with the same BPM (of 120).
3) Following the procedure as described above, “link” these loops to the midi file as you like!
4) Then edit these events, by using an external Sequencer, and move it where you want (bar, measures, tick) and save it.
When this procedure has been completed play your own midi file on the Midijay with the Wave and DJ LOOP sliders “active“, and change
the Tempo with the alpha dial.
N.B. Don’t forget to turn up the volume on these sliders!
Of course this feature will be also be recognized if you put Exclusive messages manually on the tempo track from an external sequencer
(Hyper Edit).
N.B. Loops used for this purpose MUST have (before any tempo modifications) the same BPM as that of the midi file it’s to be liked with. We
recommend (to avoid latency) to place the Wave or Loops used in the same folder as that where the Midi file resides.
MARKER OPTION NOW AVAILABLE FOR WAVE FILES
It’s now possible to use Markers (just as previously only with Midi files) on Wave as well. These Wave files should have the markers
inserted (using external Audio Editor software such as Sound Forge ®, Wavelab ®, etc). The Wave file is also playable just as a Midi file.
You can instantly “jump” from any part/’mark’ of the song to another easily (e.g. chorus or intro or else) by using Play list button, (0-9).
METER LEVEL WITHIN MIDI FILES
A very useful new feature within the Midi Files.
Play a midi file and then browse by going to GM Edit menu (Edit, GM Part). You’ll now
get a new Level meter display on the top of the screen showing all midi parts and
their corresponding activities .This grants instant access to Midi parts to be edited.
By using the Play list buttons (0-9), you can instantly select any of the first 10 tracks
of midi file (Direct access). You can then use the “>” data button, or the Data Value
wheel to select the other tracks (11-16).
QUICK SAVE PROCEDURE ON MIDI FILE
Often when using a Midi file, you might need to modify some parameters such Volume, Controllers, Program and others. Now you can Save
this information ‘on the fly’ and avoid “Stopping” the midi file as you play!! The Save procedure will be executed without any interference
to the Midi file being played.
IMPROVED FUNCTION EDIT MIDI FILE SECTION
There are new options available in this menu.
These functions are self explanatory.
ASSOCIATE AND SAVE LEAD VOICE ON MIDI FILE
You can “link” a Voice within a Midi file to be played via an external device such as master keyboard, accordion etc each time you select and
play this Midi file. Select a midi file (e.g. New York New York) and press Start; than as the song plays, select a Voice (Piano, Organ or else)
and press Save to link this information. From now on, anytime you play back this Midi file, Midijay will recall the voice previously stored
and it will instantly be ready for use with the Midi file.

DISPLAY PLAY BAR
On the Wave, Midi file , Mp3 and other main screen, the Midijay display will now show
new information such as Transpose, Time left, Bar etc (to turn this on, press Midi file,
EDIT, FUNCTION, scroll down to ‘Play Bar Displayed’ and set this to “ON”).
NEW MICROPHONE AND VOCALIZER LOCK
A new function called “LOCK” on the Microphone and Vocalizer Menu section allows
you to “freeze” their parameters in order to ensure your own original settings
regardless of any unwanted Midi file modifications.
ARABIC SCALE
New ARABIC SCALE option fitted within the master MENU (scroll down). Here you’ll
find 10 templates. The first one (called Normal) is to be considered as a Default (no
writing/saving will be possible in this location). The others (1-9) are programmable.
Select one of these and press EDIT to access the “Arabic Set Edit screen”. Now you
can modify the temperament by using the alpha dial. When you have set all of them,
press SAVE to confirm.This information will be stored in theArabic.ini file (root C:\)
and will be loaded each time the unit is turned on.
MIDI FILE MARKER AND LYRICS AUTO DISPLAY
You can determine if the Midijay should automatically display lyrics and Marker information or not when a file with such information is
loaded (press Midi file, EDIT, FUNCTION, scroll to bottom “Marker Enabled” and “Auto Lyrics Displayed”. This feature is useful in order to
avoid annoying “pop up” views on display screens when not wanted/needed.
AUTO SPACE AND AUTO PAUSE
We’ve improved the Folder Auto Play section. By this feature, you can select how
Midijay will play the files within the Wave, Midi file and Mp3 folders. Turn on the
Folder Auto Play feature and enable the Auto Pause function .This feature will
pause the song at the end and will only move on to the next song when initiated by
pressing the footswitch (as programmed) or the Start button. Minidisc ® users are
experienced with this feature which is there in order to get “preserved” functions
on following song. Auto Space inserts a timing space between files on selected folder. This timing (in seconds) can be set by the user with
the Alpha Dial once selected. These functions are available only when Folder Auto Play is selected within the current folder. .If you select
another folder, the settings of this function will be erased.
TRANSPOSE SONG ONLY FUNCTION
This feature allows the Transpose function to impact only the Midi Song and not the rest of the Midijay. When turned on (Midi file, EDIT,
FUNCTION, ‘Tran.Song Only’, notes received on the Midi Input will not be transposed. Now, you can at least play any Midi song in your
favourite pitch or key while you transpose just the song.
SONG FAST FORWARD AND REWIND
After pressing the Song Position buttons (<< or >>), you can now fast forward or rewind the song quickly using the Alpha data wheel.
MAIN VOICE OFF FUNCTION (VOX MUTE)
This feature allows you to switch off the Voices of the Midijay while playing the voices of your external controller or midi device. Select
this feature from the Footswitch menu. ‘Vox Mute’ allows you to instantly “turn off” the lead Voice (Grand Piano, Sax etc) currently being
played from the Midijay by using the external controller (keyboard, accordion etc).
TIME STRETCH AND PITCH ON DJ LOOP
At last ...Time stretch and Pitch change is available within the Dj Loop Section. Use this features as used on Waves.
OCTAVE ON VOCALIZER
We’ve added an Octave function within the Vocalizer (in place of the Reverb feature).
Select your favourite set on this menu. When the OCATAVE value is set to:
TRUE: Plays the “true” note as received via Midi.

NEW FUNCTIONS ON FOOTSWITCHES MENU
Here you’ll find new function assignable to the Footswitches .Beside the Main Voice off (as previously mentioned) we added some new
exciting functions such as Major , Minor mode to use in conjunction with the Arranger section.
RECALL REGISTRATION VIA PROGRAM CHANGE
Now you can recall Registrations via Program change without pressing the relative button on the Midijay. Choose within the Menu Midi
Channel RX, Midi channel to use and send program change to select your own Registration.
ARRANGER CHORD PLAYED FROM PEDALBOARD AND FOOTSWITCHES
As you know, Arranger chords can be controlled by a pedalboard. When you push on the pedal (e.g. a C note), the Arranger section will
play a C major chord automatically! Now, assign the chord mode (Minor, 7th or any other) on the Footswitch menu’ by using the alpha dial
to scroll through the entire table! Beside you can also operate the Pedalboard in the “previous style” as well, i.e. the play style used by
organist in the past. Press a C on the pedalboard (Midijay will play a C major). If in the mean time you press a Eb (3rd minor = C + Eb ) you’ll
obtain a C minor chord . With the same related harmonic theory, Midijay will reproduce the relative chord (C + Bb = C 7 and so on!!)
VOCAL PART LOCK
This feature allows you to “Freeze“ a track within the Vocalizer menu used. Select your own track to assign to the Vocalizer by using the
alpha dial within the Edit menu of Midi File. The selected track will be “locked” and used to play Vocalizer parts triggered by a midi file.
FADE OUT
A new Fade Out function has been added within the Crossfade Curve menu. With
this feature on, you can Fade out of a single song (Wav or midi file) by pressing the
Crossfade button. This function can be saved within the Power On Set Up mode.
KEYBOARD MODE RESET
This function is located within the Menu EDIT Midifile/Function .
When turned on, it permits one to reset the keyboard status between Style and Midi file play mode. As an example...if you play in the Style
mode (with a split point and left part , transposer and so on) and then later go to select Midi file, the keyboard status will be reset to full
keyboard (single sound on entire range, ignoring any split point) and any transposer or previous style mode settings will be removed .
MP3 LYRICS TAG3
This feature allow Midjay to show Lyrics on Mp3 which use Tag 3 format! You could arrange those format by using software to import or
insert text onto Mp3 file . Of course lyrics in Tag 3 format will be displayed by entire lines ( not with syllable) .
NEW MONITOR SETTING MENU
On this section you’ll find a couple of new features.
These new controllers named as Screen Width and Screen Height are specially designed for a better size adjustment on LCD monitors.
NEW MIDI CHANNEL RECOGNIZE ON ACCORDION MENU’
From now (release 3.0) we’ll find a new recognize midi setting on Accordion Play menu on Midi channel. Without file Machine.ini (own
setting) on Midjay whenever you’ll switch between Accordion or Keyboard Play mode thus always will “ force” RX midi channel as default
(1 Right, 2 Chord,3 Bass, 16 Registration).
If Machine .ini is present your midi RX setting will be unaffected anytime you’ll select Keyboard or Accordion Play mode.

MIDIJAY MANUAL UPDATE RELEASE 4.0
NEW MIDIFILE LINK MODE
From the contextual menu of the MIDIFILE section (which is activated using the Edit key) you can select one of the 4 Link Modes available
to define the transition mode between two consecutive midifiles. Manual mode is the normal operating mode of the MIDJAY unit, in which
the midifiles are played immediately when the Enter key is pressed. In Sync Live
Medley mode, the MIDJAY unit “links” the midifile that you wish to play with the
current midifile. In this way the midifile will never be played immediately but will
only start when the next beat of the current midifile starts. In this way, you can also
play synchronised Medleys produced in real time. You can activate the Tempo Lock
function to leave the BPM unaltered when switching between the various midifiles.
The function is also activated with the Crossfade on. In this case, the temporal synchronisation between the two midifiles remains, but
the classic “fading out” effect will be executed, which is typical in this mode. Using the Tempo Cross function, the BPM is automatically
cross faded (metronomic velocity) between two consecutive midifiles. In this mode,
the BPM of the current midifile is gradually varied and adapted to the BPM of the
next midifile. The function is only activated when the Crossfade key is on and the
transition time depends on the length of the Crossfade. Marker Jump Preload mode
is used to select the starting marker of a midifile. In particular when it is activated,
when you press the Enter key, the midifile is not played but just analysed. At the
end of the scanning time, the display of the MIDJAY unit shows the markers within the midifile. By pressing one of the function keys you
can start and play the midifile from the point desired. If the midifile does not have a marker, just one corresponding to the beginning of
the midifile will be shown. The function can only be used when the Crossfade key is off.
CROSS FADE CURVESEDITOR
From the menu used to select the CrossFade curves (Slow, Medium, Fast e Fade Out) press the Edit key to activate the environment
where you can edit and customise the fading curves available. The parameters
in the FALL section define how the outgoing song fades out its volume while the
parameters in the RAISE section refer to the incoming song. Let’s analyse the
various parameters:
• Time: This sets the transition time with a resolution in tenths of a second.
The total time of the Crossfade corresponds at the most between the two
set for the output curve and the input curve.
• Curve: This defines the transition curve. You can choose between a linear
curve (LIN) or exponential curve (EXP)
• Start: This indicates the starting volume of the transition
• End: This indicates the final value of the volume after the transition.
The curves are independent for each section. For example, you can establish
different curves between the MIDIFILE and WAVE section. The settings of the curves can be saved in the MACHINE.INI file so that it can be
automatically loaded again each time the machine is started.
NEW MENU FUNCTION OF THE DISPLAY
From the Mode/Function menu (activated using the MENU key) you can access the settings of the Display (Display Settings). Two important
functions have been added to this menu:
Lyrics Zoom …which is used to double the dimensions
of the characters used to display the texts and words
of the songs on the display of the MIDJAY unit.
When the Zoom function is activated, the display
shows 5 lines of words for each page and it is no
longer possible to display the PlayBar and the initials
of the chords within the midifile.
Txt Auto Load which is used to enable or disable
the loading function of the TXT files automatically
when a file is started. The MIDJAY unit does indeed
enable you to combine a Txt file with any file (Wav,
Mid, Mp3) and to pull it up automatically when the
song starts. When the current directory contains lots of files, the search and opening time of the TXT files slows down the starting of

the actual song. If you wish to maintain the playing
performance and rapidity of the MIDJAY unit also in
a directory that contains lots of files, you can switch
this function OFF. In this way, the searching function
of the song file is inhibited and the starting time of
the files selected is drastically reduced.
NEW MENU FUNCTIONS OF THE MONITOR
From the Mode/Function menu (activated using the
MENU key) you can access the settings of the Monitor
(Monitor Settings). The Txt Line Number function has
been added to this menu, which is used to choose
the number of lines of words to be displayed on the
monitor. When the value is 5, the page shows 5 lines
of words and the characters will be larger than those
used to display 10 lines. The settings of the monitor
can be saved in the MONITOR.INI file by pressing the
SAVE key. Remember that the settings of the monitor
and of the built-in display are independent.
REGISTRATION FILTERS
In the contextual menu of the REGISTRATION menu
(activated using the EDIT key) it is now possible
to set which functions and which parameters are
to be modified by the Registration. By enabling or
disabling the various items within the Registration
Filters menu you can establish which parameters will
be left unaltered when a REGISTRATION is loaded.
The parameters set can be saved in the MACHINE.
INI file and automatically loaded again when the
instrument is started.
DJLOOP CHAIN
This function is used to program and save a sequence of sections for a DJLOOP in order to create an actual song produced using the audio
parts of the file. To record a sequence, you need to load a DJLOOP (Enter on the file name), activate the contextual menu using the EDIT
key and select the Record Chain item. Once the function is activated, the machine is ready to record. A small R within two square brackets
[R] appears at the bottom of the main page of the DJLOOP to point out that the instrument is recording. Start recording the DJLOOP by
playing the various sections and stop recording using either the STOP key or the
Ending function of the actual file. To play back the sequence recorded, activate the
Play Chain item or press key 0 (PLAYLIST section). By pressing the SAVE key, you
can save the sequence within the current DJLOOP so that it is then available each
time the actual DJLOOP is loaded again.
GROOVE REMIX
With release 4.0 you can synchronise a Groove (.GRV) with a midifile and use it as a rhythmic audio base with which you can remix the
midifile in the same way as for the Drum Remix procedure with internal Styles. To associate a Groove with a midifile you need to play the
midifile (Enter on the name), select the Groove section with the relative key, activate the Remix procedure with key 9 (PLAYLIST section)
(LED lit) and load the Groove required. At the end of the loading time, the Groove
will be played in synchronisation with the midifile. The rhythmic and percussion
parts of the midifile will be muted. By then pressing key 9 (PLAYLIST section) you
can re-activate the rhythmic parts of the midifile and play them over the Groove.
While playing, you can alternate the various sections of the Groove (Arr A, Arr B,
Arr C, Arr D) or add some fills or Breaks using the relative buttons (Fill, Break). To

save the combination of the two files and pull-up the Groove automatically when the midifile is started again you need to go back to the
MIDIFILE section by pressing the relative key and press the SAVE key. In the window that appears you can add the starting beat of the
Groove and the End beat. In this way you can activate the Remix on the beat specified. Press Enter after you have completed the settings.
In the Song Setup window that appears, select the mode desired (refer to the user manual for further details on Song Set up) and press
Enter. To play back the combination, simply select the midifile, press Enter, wait for the Groove to be loaded and play everything. It takes
a large amount of memory to manage the Grooves. If the HD supplied (20 GBytes) has been replaced with one with more memory, the
internal RAM memory of the instrument may not be enough to load these files. In such case, the machine would trigger the error message:
Out of Memory.
DRUM REMIX START STOP BARS
The possibility of establishing the starting and end beat has also been extended to the Drum Remix functions that utilise internal Styles
(refer to the user manual for further information on Drum Remix). In this case again, when you save, a page similar to that of the previous
point appears in which you can set the parameters required to Start/Stop the rhythm associated with the song. For Midifiles with Drum
Remix produced with previous software releases, the Start beat is set on beat 0 while the Stop beat is set at the end of the midifile.
USB TO MIDI
From the Midi settings menu you can set the USB to
MIDI operating mode, which is used to transmit and
receive MIDI information via the USB connection.
This function proves very useful to connect the
MIDJAY unit to a Pc without a midi interface (usually
all portable computers).
When set in one of the two Modes available (Mode
1, Mode 2) the USB connection of the MIDJAY unit
stops working as a removable HD and configures
itself to transmit and receive MIDI data. Once you
have set one of the two Modes, simply connect the
USB cable to the PC and the operating system will
acknowledge the device and enable its use as a MDI peripheral unit.
In the case of Windows XP © the MIDJAY unit is acknowledged as
Composite Audio Peripheral unit and installed with the name of USB
Speakers. To utilise, receive and transmit midi data, you need to set
the corresponding device in the software of Midi Sequencing.
The illustration that follows shows the correct setting for Sonar ©
The MIDJAY unit avails of two different operating modes for the Midi
USB.
Mode 1 is suitable when you wish to record the midi data produced
by the MIDJAY unit on a sequencer. For example, it proves useful
when you wish to record MIDI data generated by a style or played
by the internal voices and when the MIDJAY unit is set on Play Mode
Keyboard. In this configuration, the midi data are sent to the MIDJAY
unit, which processes them and sends them back to the PC. In this
case, the Soft Thru function of the PC must be DISABLED.
Mode 2 reproduces the classic “cascade” connection between
Master Keyboard, Pc and MIDJAY, ideal for playing and recording
MIDI sequences. The Midi data are sent to the Pc, which sends them
towards MIDJAY or other external devices. The Soft Thru function of
the PC must be ENABLED.
EASY HD RECORDING
This is used to rapidly activate an HD Recording session in whichever contextual menu the instrument is working. By simply pressing
the RECORD and START keys together at the same time, the MIDJAY unit starts an HD recording session, generating a file denominated

Untitled_xxx in the main directory of the WAVE folder (C:\WAVE) and numbering it progressively. The numbering goes from 0 to 999. The
function can also be activated with the Footswitch.
SD5 INTERFACE
The MIDJAY unit can be controlled remotely from the new Ketron SD5 keyboard.
Release 4.0 implements a special MIDI communication protocol via which you
can view and activate all the files in the HD of the MIDJAY unit directly from the
display of the SD5 keyboard. Once communication has been established, the MIDI
connections of the MIDJAY unit (IN/OUT) are disabled and used just to communicate
with the SD5 keyboard. You can check the status of the connection in the MIDI
menu; SD5 Connect ON will appear if communication has been established.To set the Midi connections of the MIDJAY unit back in their
normal operating mode you need to manually set the SD5 Connect parameter OFF.Consult the instruction manual of the SD5 keyboard for
further information.
WAVE SONG SETUP
It is now possible to set-up the songs in Wave format. In particular, you can save the transposition set, the algorithm selected (Wave
Transpose Mode) and the setting of the Lead Mute in the file. In this way you can customise the key and the sound of a wave file simply
and immediately. To save a Setup, select the file and play it (Enter key), execute the transposition by activating the relative box using the
Transpose key. If you wish, you can modify the transposition Mode by activating the relative selection menu using the Edit key.Save the
Setup by pressing the SAVE key. The next time the Wave file is started, the transposition value and the status of the Lead Mute will be set
according to the information saved in the song Setup. It is important to remember that the original file is not modified.
R.TIME TO WAVE AND R.TIME TO MP3
It is now possible to control the Starting and Stopping of a Wave file and/or Mp3 file using the midi real time controls (Real Time Midi
Events). You can control the starting and stopping when playing back a Wave file or an Mp3 file, from an external sequencer or from a
keyboard in which the Midi Clock Out function has been activated. The activation of the R.Time to Wave and R.Time to Mp3 options of the
Midi->Filter&Clock menu determines whether the Wave files or Mp3 files respectively are to be affected by this type of event.
MIDIFILE MASTER TRANSPOSE
It is now possible to set a Global transposition value to be applied to all the midifiles played on the machine. The transposition value set
is added to that possibly saved within the midifiles (saved with the Song Setup procedure) or set manually on the control panel of the
MIDJAY unit.
MIDIFILE KICK&BASS BOOST
This allows you to soften or enhance the audio levels of the percussion instruments belonging to the bass drum family (kick) and of the
sounds related to the family of electric guitars (freetles, finger etc.) by a preset quantity. The parameter affects all the midifiles being
played and can be saved in MACHINE.INI using the PowerOn setup procedure.
MISCELLANEOUS
The functions of the Power On Setup have been extended, which implement and saves the Audio Local, Format and Sampling Rate
parameters in the HD Recording menu.
• Hold the arrow keys down to scroll the current directory forwards by pages and not by single files. The first time you press the key,
the current position of a single file is modified, then the position is modified by page in page.
• The functions of the Footswitches have been extended by adding the following functions:
• Bass&Drum and BassToLowest.
• Easy Hd recording.
• The possibility of saving the volume of the vocalizer in the Song Setup of a midi base has been added.
• The midi reception of the volume on the channel of the automatic bass has been enabled.
• It is now possible to save the Lower Off within the Registrations
• The synchronisations of the Karaoke on Mp3 files have been optimised.
