LOADING SONGS INTO THE MIDJAY (USB)

Even though there are tons of bonus material within the MIDJAY player’s Hard Disk, everyone will like the

opportunity to be able to load or copy their own Wave, MP3 or MIDI Files into the unit and clearly play these

back as they see t, following the current layout of the Files within the machine. The USB connection is a

feature that allows MIDJAY to emulate a Disk drive when connected to a Computer. This feature makes it

simple to copy your Songs from your Computer (or other external storage device such as MP3 Player) to your

MIDJAY using standard drag-and-drop procedures. There is no need to install any drivers (except for Windows

98 or Mac OS versions earlier than X (10) where drivers will have to be downloaded from www.ketron.it). It is

also advised that the USB cable you use for data transfer be no longer than 5meters to ensure accuracy.

USB: USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a fast means of communication used by many Computer devices today.

Keeping in tune with technology, the MIDJAY comes with a USB port at the back that allows it to communicate

with either a PC or MAC based Computer once connected with the proper cable. If you have Wave, MP3

or MIDI Files that currently reside on your computer’s Hard Disk (or any removable Disk connected to your

Computer), you can copy them directly to the Hard Disk of the MIDJAY (or better yet, download them directly

from the internet into the Hard Disk of the MIDJAY Player!).

CONNECTION PROCEDURE AND USE

• With your Computer turned ON, connect the appropriate USB cable from the back of the USB port of the

MIDJAY to an open USB port on your Computer. Turn ON the MIDJAY (you can also do this connection

while the MIDJAY is turned ON as the connection will be recognized automatically).

• Your Computer will immediately recognize the MIDJAY as an external removable Disk drive (in some cases,

depending on your setting, the Computer will make a sound to acknowledge a new connection or device

or hardware. The MIDJAY will also acknowledge a connection made to your Computer by displaying “USB

Connected” along with a warning message on the screen (“WARNING: DO NOT DISCONNECT THE USB

CABLE OR SWITCH OFF THE INSTRUMENT DURING DATA TRANSFER”) and the USB light will ash

(corresponding to data being transferred or received).

NB: While this is connected, no further action(s) can be done on the MIDJAY Player. DO NOT

DISCONNECT THE USB CABLE OR SWITCH OFF THE INSTRUMENT AS LONG AS THE HD LED

IS FASHING (denoting data is being transferred). YOU MAY LOOSE ALL DATA ON YOUR HARD

DIKS IF THE CABLE IS UNEXPECTEDLY DISCONNECTED DURING USE. WAIT FOR THE HD LED

TO Stop FLASHING PIOR TO DISCONNECTING THE USB CABLE FROM THE UNIT/COMPUTER

OR TURNING OFF THE UNIT!! KETRON WILL NOT BE RESPOSIBE FOR DATA LOST DUE TO

INCORRECT USE OF THE UNIT!

• Double-Click on the Folder that has your music Files to display your Songs that are either on your Computer

or external storage device. You can now Copy Files from your computer’s Hard Disk and Paste in the

MIDJAY’s Hard Disk or just drag the required Files from any of your drives and drop in the MIDJAY’s Hard

Disk. You can also download Files directly to the MIDJAY’s Hard Disk (Click on ‘Download’ from your

Internet browser. You will be prompted to Save so Click on Save. Next you will be brought to the Save AS

screen where you can choose where you want the File to be saved to. Select the drive corresponding to

that of the MIDJAY and Save).

• It would be wise to occasionally back up all the Songs within the Hard Drive of your MIDJAY to your

Computer... just incase you need them some day. The BIN Files should also all be copied for should incase

you want to return the MIDJAY to the factory settings, these Files will be needed to restore say the initial

Voice settings of the MIDJAY.
