Controller so as to keep it in sync with the external unit. If turned OFF, no external MIDI Clock information
will be acknowledged from the MIDI In jack.
Clock Out: If turned ON, the MIDJAY is able to control an external Sequencer/Controller’s MIDI Clock so
as to keep the external unit in sync with MIDJAY. If turned OFF, no MIDI Clock information is transmitted on
the MIDI Out jacks.
Excl. Mess. In/Out: Exclusive Messages In are activated if turned ON... (controls from an external device);
Exclusive Messages Out are activated if turned ON... (controls to an external device).
Tab. Mess. In/Out: Button messages are received via MIDI if “Tab. Mess. In” is set to ON (so you can
control the functions of MIDJAY from an external source/device); button messages are transmitted via MIDI
if “Tab. Mess. Out” is set to ON (so you can control the functions of other external devices from MIDJAY).
Dynamic Curve [*]: This is used to set the velocity response of the external MIDI controller so that when
playing the Voices or Styles of MIDJAY, they respond accordingly. Depending on which is turned ON, if you
press a key on the controller (Softer, Soft, Normal, Hard, Harder), the effect will be transmitted to MIDJAY
and this will be experienced when the internal Voices are played and heard.
Connection with a KETRON Keyboard:
1. When using a KETRON SD1 Plus, SD1, XD or X Keyboard: To control the MIDJAY, it is important to set
the MIDI Transmit Global value to 01. This will allow you to use a single channel to control both the Left
[Style] and Right [Voices] parts of the MIDJAY unit with one Split point on the Keyboard.
2. Connection with a Master Keyboard: The preferred reception/transmission channel when connected to
a generic Master Keyboard controller is channel 01.
3. Connection with an external Sequencer or Computer: In this case, it is necessary to set the Play Mode
value (under Menu) to “GM MIDI In” and use the MIDI In connector.
4. Connection with a Fisarmonica accordion: In this case, under the Menu, set the Play Mode to
“Accordion”.
• DSP: This is used to change the Digital Sound Processor,
customize MIDJAY to sound as though you are performing
in a Hall, Theatre, Stage... and also adjust to what
degree this effect is felt. This screen is also where the
EQ (Equalizer) can be adjusted. There are two bands
available: High and Low. Use the Cursor keys to select
and change the value with the Alpha Dial wheel.
• FOOTSWITCH: This is used to assign various controls
of MIDJAY so that these controls can now be accessed via the optional FS6 or FS13 footswitch pedal.
This has already been discussed above in page 21. Future Operating System updates might include more
features to this current list.
• MONITOR: Some settings of the RGB (Red Green Blue)
Computer monitor output can also be adjusted accordingly.
These include the:
Frequency: for the exact frequency settings, refer to the
operation manual of your monitor.
Horizontal / Vertical: used to adjust the image location on
your screen), color for screen.
Foreground, Background, Reverse: used to adjust the
color of the text being displayed and the background color.
The available colors are Blue, Red, Magenta, Yellow and White.
By pressing the Save button, the new monitor settings will now be saved on the Hard Disk (so you do not
have to repeat this process - until you get a new monitor), and the File name is Monitor.ini. This File will
automatically be loaded each time the machine is turned ON. Also using a specialized optional adaptor for
RGB/Video (obtainable from your KETRON dealer), it is also possible to connect the MIDJAY to a regular
color TV through regular composite video cables.
