Hey Ketroners!

I found pretty annoying when I'm playing Midjay Arranger section (styles) and accessing the other menus, like searching for a Midifile or text, to realise that I can't control the Arranger commands any more, like changing Variotions, Fills, Break, even Intro or Ending.

So, I did this little control board, connected to "Footswitch" connector in the left side of Midjay.

It's a very simple schematic, all you have to do is to found the parts and a proper cable. I used a piece of network cable 209M, with 8 wires,so I can control 7 functions.

With this "External Arranger Controller" I can do anything else while play the "Arranger" and still have full control of it.



Schematic:

Would the Ketron standard 13 pedal switch unit also work here?

Thanks, viocaia!

You saved me some time by providing that pinout.
