PLAYBACK OF MULTIPLE FILE TYPES (MULTIPLAY)
From here on it gets more and more interesting. With one File playing (e.g. Wave), it is possible to select
another File from another category (e.g. MP3) and also have that File playing together with the Wave File that
was initially playing. To achieve this:
1. Select and play a Wave File as shown above under “Wave Files”. The Wave LED stays ON.
2. As this File is playing, press the MP3 button to access the MP3 Folder on the Hard Drive of the MIDJAY
(or MIDI File or any other). Also the Start/Pause light goes of while the Stop light comes ON denoting the
current status of the current selection... no File is playing yet. This scenario is true for all cases when more
than one File type is being played... the LED associated with the initial Files ashes while that associated
with the current selection stays on steady.
3. Scroll up or down the list either with the “∧” or “∨” Cursor keys or the Alpha Dial wheel to highlight the
Song or File you wish to play. You can now start playing this Song either by pressing the Start/Pause button
or the Enter button.
3. Use the associated volume sliders to adjust and balance the volumes accordingly. Remember if you have
both the Wave and MP3 sliders up, you will hear both Songs being played simultaneously!
4. If you want to stop all Songs that are currently playing at any given time, simply press the Full Stop (both
the Start/Pause and Stop) buttons simultaneously.
You can now manually mix or ‘Morph’ from one Song into another by simply playing the Songs within the
Wave, MP3 and MIDI File Folder and using each one’s respective volume control to adjust what is actually
being heard. So start playing a Wave File / Song (with its volume turned up). As it plays, select an MP3 Song
with its volume turned down. Press the Song position button “>>” once to see how much time is left. As the
Song ends, go to the MP3 Folder and start the next Song. Now gradually reduce the volume of the Wave Song
while you increase the volume of the MP3 Song. The same can be achieved with the MIDI Files, Grooves
and Effects and even the Styles (for the musician who wants to easily ease on from music to his performance
without stopping).
NB: Remember that the blue light ashes when another Folder is being worked with while the previously
selected Song is still playing. Controls such as Start/Pause and Stop will only affect the current selection i.e.
the selection or Folder with the steady light (ON), while the ashing light can be seen as what is going on in
the background. Hence to stop a particular Song, make sure the Song is in the current active Folder.
QUICK SEARCH FOR MUSIC AND FILES
With the massive 20GB of Hard Disk storage, it possible to
have hundreds and hundreds of Files within each Folder.
There will soon come a time when it will be difcult to manually
scroll through each File in search of a particular Song. This is
why two express search Modes have been included for your
convenience when trying to look for a particular Song.
1. Numeric Search: This can be obtained by using the Play
List numeric buttons (0-9). Whenever a Song or File is
loaded into the Hard Disk of the MIDJAY, it is assigned a
number in succession (1, 2, 3, ....). Regardless of the Folder you are in, if you know the number that was
previously assigned to a Song, you can enter its number directly by using the Play List numeric buttons (once
in that Folder). The “File Number” screen will prompt you for the numbers after you enter the rst one.
2. Alphabetical Search: This search can be obtained by pressing the Alphab. button.
With the corresponding light ON, the “Alphab. Finder” message will be displayed on the screen.
Single Dir: la ricerca viene eseguita solo nella cartella attiva.
Global Dir: la ricerca viene eseguita su tutto l’Hard Disk.
You can now use the letters of the Play List buttons (ABC, DEF...) to select the letters of the File you would
like to look for. Press Enter to go to that File.
