MULTI-TRACK RECORDING
This is a very useful function especially since there is no Sequencer or multi-track recorder on board. However,
you can create your own Multi track recorder - and have your own ‘over-dub’ capabilities if you play smart.
Press the Record button to enter the record Mode once more. Once you name the File (say ‘Jam1’) select
and play a MIDI File or start playing a Style or another Wave File and sing along with it and record this. Now
after the rst recording, you can again get into the record Mode and name the next Song (which will actually be
the second take on this Song) called ‘Jam2’ and while playing this File ‘Jam1’ record say background vocals
or more stuff into ‘Jam2’. Now the Song ‘Jam2’ has all the stuff from ‘Jam1’ plus the extra vocal parts you
just added. You can again get back into the Record Mode and record ‘Jam3’ which will have all the previous
recording of both ‘Jam1’ and ‘Jam2’ plus whatever you want to add - maybe more vocals or more instruments
as you play using an external controller. The great thing about this is when you are done with the nal Song,
JAM, you will have all your recordings (‘Jam1’ + ‘Jam2’ + ‘Jam3’ +... ‘JamX’) just the way you wanted them
to be... and still sounds as through you went to a professional studio to get this done. With this capability to
record over and over and over again unlimited times, you have a very powerful recorder at your nger tips.
Also remember the recordings can include the DJ Loops, Effects, MP3 Files all within the Hard drive.
USEFUL HINTS AND TIPS
1. You can convert your existing CDs to Wave Files via software and then copy these Wave Files into the HD
of the MIDJAY as described above. This is also true for MP3 Files as well.
2. For those who already have a great CD collection, you could connect your CD Player, Mini Disk or Disk-
man directly to the MIDJAY’s Line IN (found on the left side of the unit) and while still playing those CDs,
control the volume directly from the Line IN volume slider on the MIDJAY panel.
3. Going back a few more years, why not connect your record Player (Phono) to the Line IN and as you play
the records, record the Songs directly to the Hard Drive of MIDJAY. This way, you can also use MIDJAY as
a huge storage for all your Songs or if you insist, use your other devices during your performance.
4. Use the Lead Mute to remove the Lead Voice from a Wave File and re-record this File with your own
Voice, your new key and even your new Tempo. Once recorded, MIDJAY will save this File as a full
stereo Wave File (44.1Hz). Record this File once and sing through - then re-record again adding the
harmonies of the optional Vocalizer. The opportunities appear endless with MIDJAY, the perfect tool for
the performer and animator!!
