Hi,
may I include my 2 cents?
I am using the midjay since a week. I admit I had very high expectations, higher than the price of this little thingy allows. But its not all so easy as it was described here and in the ads. You cannot mix or play at the same time two mp3s, as there is only one decoder. You have to change to midi or wav or style when mixing. The efx. processor for voice is very (!) limited. Mixing in sync styles, grooves, wavs and mp3s is not possible. I would not recommend it for dj purposes. The styles of the midjay shine for their groove-loops on drumtrack 2, they can be compared to acid looops. But no way you can edit them beyond voice, volume, pan and efx settings. drum track 2 cannot be altered. And you cannot build your own styles (only via emc software (400 $) on your pc - so this would be a knockout feature for the midjay.
The sound itself is in your face but somewhat "grainy" and compared to my motif es not punchy at all - but these things are very subjective. The 24 Drum kits do not offer much variety - many of them sound a bit the same, because the snares and the kicks are not that much different. So, to my taste, the midjay is limited as an arranger and as well as a dj tool for the semi pro. Maybe it was never intended that way, but why call it "midjay" then.
I was thinking about getting the psr 3000 instead because for its much acclaimed user interface, loads of possibilities, polished sound and styles(drums unfortunately too polished and mafybe compressed) as I wanted to leave computers behind. Then again this little box is really cute and with 7 lb easy to carry around - fits in your shirts pocket if your big enough. I know this is very subjective, no offensed intended. I hoped for a jack of all trades but it is lacking in some departments so I am not sure to keep it for my purposes...
Anyone else?
greetings
Heinrich
