• METRONOME Click: This setting controls the Metronome
Click signal that is sent out of the “Click” out put on the side
of MIDJAY. This output can be fed to a drummer who might
want to play along with MIDJAY (or the headphones of any
other musician who wants to keep time with MIDJAY).
Enabled: When Enabled is set to ON, a ‘Click’ sound
is heard out of the Click output (when connected to say
headphones or an external device.
BPM: The BPM (Beats Per Minute) value can be set accordingly.
Time Sign.: The Time Signature Numerator and Denominator are used to set the kind of beat e.g... 3/4 for
a Waltz beat or 4/4 for an 8beat rhythm.
Link Mode: This is used to associate the Metronome either with the Tempo of a MIDI File (MIDI File) or
Style (Style). The value is changed by highlighting this and changing its value with the Alpha Dial wheel.
When set to “None”, the Metronome Tempo is controlled directly by the internal Clock of the MIDJAY.
Running Mode: When this value is set to “Free Running”, the Metronome Click will sound whether or not
a Style or MIDI File is playing. However if a MIDI File or Style is played, the Tempo of the Metronome is
automatically synchronized to that of the MIDI File or Style being used. If this is set to “Start/Stop”, the
Metronome is activated only when the Start button is pressed.
• DISPLAY: This setting controls the Display Contrast of MIDJAY. This allows the MIDJAY to be used under
different light conditions such as at night or during the day outside. Select this and press Enter to show the
Contrast value. The default vale is 21. Increasing this value ‘darkens’ the screen while decreasing this value
‘lightens’ the screen. The ultimate value depends on the angle the instrument is being placed at relative to
where the user is standing. This contrast value can also be saved on Power On Setup.
• MASTER TUNE: This is used to ‘Tune’ the Voices of the MIDJAY to those of any other instruments being
used at that time. The default value is 440Hz but this can be varied +/- 100 and also saved under the Power
On Setup File (see Power On Setup below).
POWER ON SETUP
This function allows you to save on the MIDJAY a certain preferential conguration of commands or functions
that will be automatically loaded at the time of startup (Machine.ini File).
The saving can be performed when one of the Folders (like Wave, DJ Loop/Groove/SFX, MP3) are in the main
directory position (that is with “C:\” displayed on top).
To save the current status of the MIDJAY on the Power On Setup:
1. Press the Save key. The display will prompt you to overwrite the preexisting File.
2. When “OK” is inserted, press Enter to conrm; select “Cancel” and press Enter to exit.
The new setup replaces the previous one and will be automatically loaded when the MIDJAY is turned ON.
