AUTOMATIC CROSS FADE
MIDJAY offers you the capability to gradually turn down the volume of one Song while at the same time
gradually increasing the volume of a currently selected new Song, hence eliminating the abrupt changes that
would otherwise occur. The automatic Cross Fade works between Wave Files. It also works between MIDI
Files or within a Play List. However, it doesn’t work between MP3 Files or within the MP3 Folder!!
Press the dedicated key and select various Wave or MIDI Files, one after the other. You will notice that an
automatic passage of volume occurs between the two Files. It is also possible to customize the setting of
the Cross Fade using the Edit menu. Here you will nd the Cross Fade Curve Function. Choose the most
appropriate curve, according to your needs, among three different typologies: Slow, Medium or Fast.
NB: The Cross Fade function only works within Wave Files and MIDI Files... It does not work between
MP3 Files!
TEXT FILES (.TXT) ASSOCIATED WITH MIDI FILES, WAVES OR MP3
MIDJAY suggests a convenient method which allows you to apply, in a quick and simple way, Text Files to
MIDI, Wave or MP3 Files. Here is the procedure:
1. Using a PC, write or copy (Copy and Paste) a text on a Word or Note Pad document. Save the File with a
.TXT extension (Text File).
2. Save the Text File with the same name of the corresponding musical File (MIDI File, Wave or MP3).
3. Copy the Text File in the same Folder in which the corresponding musical File is contained.
4. In order to view the text on the MIDJAY’s display, select the corresponding musical File and open it, using
the Start or Enter key.
5. It is possible to scroll through the text using the “∧” “∨” Cursor keys, the Alpha Dial, or a FS6 or FS13
footswitch (in order to use the footswitch, it is necessary to enable the “Up Txt and Down Txt” features, in
the Footswitch Menu).
It is possible to view the Text File on the MIDJAY, even if the corresponding musical File is not playing. In such
a case, please follow this procedure:
1. Select the Folder which contains the Text File.
2. Press Edit and, using the Cursor keys, select the “Dir. Global View” function. Then press Enter to enable
the feature.
3. Press Exit to exit the Edit menu, select the chosen .TXT File and press Enter.
AUTOMATIC CHANGE OF TEXT PAGES
MIDJAY allows you to automatically scroll through the pages of a text associated with MIDI, Wave or MP3 Files.
1. Turn ON the song by pressing Start or Enter. If the Text File name is the same as that of the MIDI, Wave
or MP3 Files, the text will be displayed automatically.
2. Press the Record key to enable the recording of the page change. Scrolling is performed with the “∨”
Cursor key or with the Alpha Dial.
3. Once the last page of text has been reached, press Stop. A message appears on the display, stating that
the text has been modied. (The same message appears automatically, even at the end of the Song,
without having to press Stop).
4. In both instances, press Enter if you intend to save the forwarding of the page as soon as it has been
performed. (Otherwise, place the Cursor on “Cancel” and press Enter to exit).
Please note the following which will allow you to perform correctly the automatic change of text pages:
1. The Text File should have a .TXT extension.
2. The same Folder should contain the Text File and the corresponding musical File (MIDI File, Wave or MP3).
3. The saving procedure is valid only to move forward through the pages and not to move back.
Obviously, the text will appear also in the external output of the monitor, where you will have the opportunity
to change the Background colors.
Access the “Monitor Setup” feature by pressing Menu, then Monitor, and nally Enter.
