The main functions and technical specifications of the MiDJay Plus are so similar to those of the standard MiDJay, we provide the standard
version owners manual for all basic instructions and technical information. The upgraded benefits and features of the MiDJay Plus are:
The new large size display, a much larger 80 Gigabyte Hard Drive, 140 new Styles and an amazingly authentic new sound generator offering
twice the performance of the standard model.
This addendum booklet provides all additional information required to operate the upgraded MiDJay Plus (and information relating to
updates 3.00 and 4.00 of the standard MiDJay). Here you can find the MiDJay Plus technical Tables, complete list of styles, Orchestral
Voices, Drum Sets and Drum Loops with corresponding Bank and Program Change data.
To connect the MIDJAY PLUS to the wall socket you will need the supplied KETRON AC Power adaptor.Use of other AC adaptors could result
in serious damages to the instrument’s power circuit. So be sure to use only the KETRON power adaptor and ask for right kind.

DISPLAY PLAY BAR
On the Wave, Midi file , Mp3 and other main screen, the Midijay display will now show
new information such as Transpose, Time left, Bar etc (to turn this on, press Midi file,
EDIT, FUNCTION, scroll down to ‘Play Bar Displayed’ and set this to “ON”).
ARABIC SCALE
New ARABIC SCALE option fitted within the master MENU (scroll down). Here you’ll
find 10 templates. The first one (called Normal) is to be considered as a Default (no
writing/saving will be possible in this location). The others (1-9) are programmable.
Select one of these and press EDIT to access the “Arabic Set Edit screen”. Now you
can modify the temperament by using the alpha dial. When you have set all of them,
press SAVE to confirm.This information will be stored in theArabic.ini file (root C:\)
and will be loaded each time the unit is turned on.
OCTAVE ON VOCALIZER
We’ve added an Octave function within the Vocalizer (in place of the Reverb feature).
Select your favourite set on this menu. When the OCATAVE value is set to:
TRUE: Plays the “true” note as received via Midi.
4
+ 1: Plays notes received 1 octave up
+ 2: Plays notes received 2 octaves up
- 1: Plays notes received 1 octave down
- 2: Plays notes received 2 octaves down
AUTO: “Forces” automatic transpose on +2 when Keyboard Left mode is used or -2 when K. Right mode is used.
DEFAULT: Factory set
FADE OUT
A new Fade Out function has been added within the Crossfade Curve menu. With
this feature on, you can Fade out of a single song (Wav or midi file) by pressing the
Crossfade button. This function can be saved within the Power On Set Up mode.

the actual song. If you wish to maintain the playing
performance and rapidity of the MIDJAY unit also in
a directory that contains lots of files, you can switch
this function OFF. In this way, the searching function
of the song file is inhibited and the starting time of
the files selected is drastically reduced.
REGISTRATION FILTERS
In the contextual menu of the REGISTRATION menu
(activated using the EDIT key) it is now possible
to set which functions and which parameters are
to be modified by the Registration. By enabling or
disabling the various items within the Registration
Filters menu you can establish which parameters will
be left unaltered when a REGISTRATION is loaded.
The parameters set can be saved in the MACHINE.
INI file and automatically loaded again when the
instrument is started.
DJLOOP CHAIN
This function is used to program and save a sequence of sections for a DJLOOP in order to create an actual song produced using the audio
parts of the file. To record a sequence, you need to load a DJLOOP (Enter on the file name), activate the contextual menu using the EDIT
key and select the Record Chain item. Once the function is activated, the machine is ready to record. A small R within two square brackets
[R] appears at the bottom of the main page of the DJLOOP to point out that the instrument is recording. Start recording the DJLOOP by
playing the various sections and stop recording using either the STOP key or the
Ending function of the actual file. To play back the sequence recorded, activate the
Play Chain item or press key 0 (PLAYLIST section). By pressing the SAVE key, you
can save the sequence within the current DJLOOP so that it is then available each
time the actual DJLOOP is loaded again.
GROOVE REMIX
With release 4.0 you can synchronise a Groove (.GRV) with a midifile and use it as a rhythmic audio base with which you can remix the
midifile in the same way as for the Drum Remix procedure with internal Styles. To associate a Groove with a midifile you need to play the
midifile (Enter on the name), select the Groove section with the relative key, activate the Remix procedure with key 9 (PLAYLIST section)
(LED lit) and load the Groove required. At the end of the loading time, the Groove
will be played in synchronisation with the midifile. The rhythmic and percussion
parts of the midifile will be muted. By then pressing key 9 (PLAYLIST section) you
can re-activate the rhythmic parts of the midifile and play them over the Groove.
While playing, you can alternate the various sections of the Groove (Arr A, Arr B,
Arr C, Arr D) or add some fills or Breaks using the relative buttons (Fill, Break). To
7
save the combination of the two files and pull-up the Groove automatically when the midifile is started again you need to go back to the
MIDIFILE section by pressing the relative key and press the SAVE key. In the window that appears you can add the starting beat of the
Groove and the End beat. In this way you can activate the Remix on the beat specified. Press Enter after you have completed the settings.
In the Song Setup window that appears, select the mode desired (refer to the user manual for further details on Song Set up) and press
Enter. To play back the combination, simply select the midifile, press Enter, wait for the Groove to be loaded and play everything. It takes
a large amount of memory to manage the Grooves. If the HD supplied (20 GBytes) has been replaced with one with more memory, the
internal RAM memory of the instrument may not be enough to load these files. In such case, the machine would trigger the error message:
Out of Memory.
USB TO MIDI
From the Midi settings menu you can set the USB to
MIDI operating mode, which is used to transmit and
receive MIDI information via the USB connection.
This function proves very useful to connect the
MIDJAY unit to a Pc without a midi interface (usually
all portable computers).
When set in one of the two Modes available (Mode
1, Mode 2) the USB connection of the MIDJAY unit
stops working as a removable HD and configures
itself to transmit and receive MIDI data. Once you
have set one of the two Modes, simply connect the
USB cable to the PC and the operating system will
acknowledge the device and enable its use as a MDI peripheral unit.
In the case of Windows XP © the MIDJAY unit is acknowledged as
Composite Audio Peripheral unit and installed with the name of USB
Speakers. To utilise, receive and transmit midi data, you need to set
the corresponding device in the software of Midi Sequencing.
The illustration that follows shows the correct setting for Sonar ©
The MIDJAY unit avails of two different operating modes for the Midi
USB.
Mode 1 is suitable when you wish to record the midi data produced
by the MIDJAY unit on a sequencer. For example, it proves useful
when you wish to record MIDI data generated by a style or played
by the internal voices and when the MIDJAY unit is set on Play Mode
Keyboard. In this configuration, the midi data are sent to the MIDJAY
unit, which processes them and sends them back to the PC. In this
case, the Soft Thru function of the PC must be DISABLED.
EASY HD RECORDING
This is used to rapidly activate an HD Recording session in whichever contextual menu the instrument is working. By simply pressing
the RECORD and START keys together at the same time, the MIDJAY unit starts an HD recording session, generating a file denominated
8
Untitled_xxx in the main directory of the WAVE folder (C:\WAVE) and numbering it progressively. The numbering goes from 0 to 999. The
function can also be activated with the Footswitch.
SD5 INTERFACE
The MIDJAY unit can be controlled remotely from the new Ketron SD5 keyboard.
Release 4.0 implements a special MIDI communication protocol via which you
can view and activate all the files in the HD of the MIDJAY unit directly from the
display of the SD5 keyboard. Once communication has been established, the MIDI
connections of the MIDJAY unit (IN/OUT) are disabled and used just to communicate
with the SD5 keyboard. You can check the status of the connection in the MIDI
menu; SD5 Connect ON will appear if communication has been established.To set the Midi connections of the MIDJAY unit back in their
normal operating mode you need to manually set the SD5 Connect parameter OFF.Consult the instruction manual of the SD5 keyboard for
further information.
MISCELLANEOUS
The functions of the Power On Setup have been extended, which implement and saves the Audio Local, Format and Sampling Rate
parameters in the HD Recording menu.
• Hold the arrow keys down to scroll the current directory forwards by pages and not by single files. The first time you press the key,
the current position of a single file is modified, then the position is modified by page in page.
• The functions of the Footswitches have been extended by adding the following functions:
• Bass&Drum and BassToLowest.
• Easy Hd recording.
• The possibility of saving the volume of the vocalizer in the Song Setup of a midi base has been added.
• The midi reception of the volume on the channel of the automatic bass has been enabled.
• It is now possible to save the Lower Off within the Registrations
• The synchronisations of the Karaoke on Mp3 files have been optimised.
