MENU CONTROLS
There are other functions that are within the Menu Control
of the MIDJAY. Press the Menu button to access the “Mode/
Function” screen. Highlight the following and press Enter to
access their functions:
• PLAY MODES: The Play Mode determines the various
Play Modes of MIDJAY. The MIDJAY is capable of handling
32 MIDI parts and as such the Play Mode determines how
both MIDI parts (of 16 channels each) are controlled.
Keyboard: When this is checked, MIDJAY can be controlled from an external controller such as a Keyboard
(via the MIDI In connector). This controller is used to play back the Voices and Styles within the internal Sound
Module. Use this when using MIDJAY as a great Sound Module for gigs or even recordings in the studio.
GM MIDI In: Use this Mode when playing MIDI Files or other MIDI data from an external Sequencer or
software on a PC. Also use this if playing back Files on MIDJAY but using MIDJAY as the Master controller
(via the MIDI Out connection) to control an external Sequencer or software.
Accordion: This Mode is used when an external MIDI Accordion (such as a Fisarmonica accordion) is used
to control the MIDJAY and playback its Voices and Styles. The MIDI channels are automatically mapped out
as follows: Right Ch. 01, Left Ch. 02, Bass Ch. 03
International: This Mode automatically maps the appropriate MIDI Channels to that used by International
MIDI Accordions. The setup is automatic for Keyboard on the right and buttons on the left in accordance
with the international system.
Belgique: This Mode automatically maps the appropriate MIDI Channels to that used by the Belgian
accordion standards.
Automatic: Automatic completion of the accompaniment.
Manual: Manual formation of the accompaniment with the bottom two lower parts manually controlled by
the performer.
• MIDI: This is used to access the MIDI setup for the
MIDJAY. This area is very useful for those performers who
want to use the MIDJAY as a module, utilizing its internal
Voices and Styles for performances.
Channel Rx/Tx [*]: This is used to set the Channel
Reception channels accordingly. When you select this
and press Enter, the MIDI Keyboard Rx screen will be
displayed. By highlighting the corresponding values
(Right, Left, Global... Chord 5), you can actually set the
various channel numbers which the MIDJAY will receive information with regards to. As an example, if the
external MIDI controller is set to play the Lead Voice and that is going out on channel 1, set the right value
to 1 so they (controller and MIDJAY) communicate on the same channel. If the controller now transmit a
Bass signal on channel 3, set the Bass value to 3 etc.
Transpose Rx/Tx [*]: Similar to the point above, but in reference to the transpose values.
Filter & Clock [*]: This is used to set the MIDI lter channels and determine the Modes of the MIDI Clock
Clock In: If turned ON, the MIDJAY is able to be controlled via the MIDI Clock of an external Sequencer/
