Operation Manual

VOICES

The MIDJAY Player also incorporates various Voices within

the unit. These Voices (which are once more of KETRON

acclaimed Best Natural Sound quality) can be used or

accessed by an external MIDI controller (such as a Keyboard,

MIDI Guitar or MIDI Accordion) or an external Sequencer or

software from a Computer.

To access or Play these Voices:

1. Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI Out jack of the

external device to the MIDI In jack of the MIDJAY (located on the back)

2. Turn on the external device and once it boots up, you should be able to play any keys or buttons on it and

get the Voices from the MIDJAY (the default Voice is “Piano”).

3. To change from once Voice to another, press the Voice button on the MIDJAY.

4. The “Preset Voice” screen shows you the 64 Preset Voices. Use the Alpha Dial wheel or the “∧”and “∨”

Cursor keys to select the Voice you wish to use for your performance.

5. To access the other Voices found on the MIDJAY, press the Exit button to toggle to the “Voice” screen

which will display the other Voices grouped in to Voice Groups (e.g. all Piano Voices are within the “Piano

Voice” group, all Organ Voices are within the “Organ Voice” group... etc. Select the group where you think

the Voice you are interested in resides and press Enter to display the Voices within the group. Select the

appropriate Voice with the Alpha Dial wheel.

EDITING VOICES

You can Edit limited parameters of the Voices of the MIDJAY.

To do so:

1. Press the Voice button to access the Voices and select the

Voice you wish to use or Edit

2. Now press the Edit button. The Voice edit screen will be

displayed, showing you the various parameters of the

Voice, which are editable. Using the Cursor keys, you can

move the Cursor around to select the value(s) you want to

change and change the value with the Alpha Dial wheel.

3. You can layer up to four Voices at a time (V1, V2, V3, V4). Each column on the screen represents a Voice

and its associated parameters (each one independent of the other). Now remember too that some of the

original Voices can be made up to as many as four Voices at once.

• Vox: The rst row shows the Voices used to create or make the Voice currently selected. (Some Voices

actually use more than one sound to be created). Either the Voice name is displayed (abbreviated) or OFF

is displayed (meaning there is no Voice in that particular location.

• Vol: The second row shows the Volume of each of the four Voices.

• Shft: The third row shows the shift value of each of the Voices. This each value corresponds to a 1/2 step.

• Tune: The fourth is for Tuning. Voices (such as horns) can be ‘tuned’ such that some are very slightly out

of tune... as is in the “real world”.

• Pan: The fth row is used to assign Voices to the Left (L) or Right (R) speakers by the values associated

with this. This gives the sound a greater stereo effect when performing.

• Part: The sixth row is used to assign the associated Voice either to the Right (right of the Split point), Left

(left of the split point) or to the Bass. Once assigned, this Voice can only be activated or heard when the

assigned area is played on the Keyboard.

• Rev: The seventh row is used to assign the Reverb level to each Voice.

• Amount: The eighth row determines the Amount. (Use the “∨” Cursor key to access more parameters below).
