Hi Daniel,

I use it both as an arranger (I use a midi guitar system) and also as a midi/mp3 player.Also as a mixer w effexts(along with a singer). Generally the arranger function works ok for me (but my requirements are few, mostly the manual bass function and some sounds for single line soloing). But when I turn to the mp3KAR usage, things go pretty bad. I play a number of files (5-6) and then, all of a sudden, player1 or player2 crashes. I can still load midi files but, generally, I have to restart (if I want it to be fully functual again).Another thing: during startup it makes a terrible bzzzz sound that stops afterwards (when used as a mixer, directly to powered speakers.If used through a mixer it's ok. BUT it is supposed to be a mixer as well!!!!).
Anyway, I got the new one and (surprisingly) it has the same bugs. Yes, O.S.1.2 did fix some things for me too (for example the "search" function now on player2 also and searches the whole drive too-very important when you have hundreds of files).
I wish a Ketron engineer reads some of these problems and finally fix something 'cause it's not the cheapest machine in the market.The idea is great but they have to make it work.

Hello everyone, this is my update!

I noticed something that maybe can explain why the players crash.

Firstly I have to tell you that, right now, I got 2 machines(midjay pro) because I complained and asked for a second unit to check whether the first one is problematic.

So: PLAYER2: it always freezes when:
1) it ends the reproduction of an mp3 and you try to play a .cdg 2) it ends the reproduction of a .cdg and you try to play another one
PLAYER1: it freezes when it ends the reproduction of an mp3 and you try to play a .cdg

Both units have OS 1.2 installed BUT the older unit was PERHAPS updated to 1.2 from 1.0 (didn't move to 1.1. first).
The second unit's player 1 freezes OCASIONALLY after a mp3 file ends (NOT ALWAYS).The fist unit's player 1 ALWAYS does that!
Also: The MIDI led blinks in high frequency on the older unit. On the new unit it stays constantly ON. (of course, that's true when I connect a MIDI device).

Still waiting for some help....and hope for the best!

..short update:

I found out a way to un-freeze the players which might come in handy for those having trouble w this machine!

If player 1 or 2 freezes you follow these steps:

1.Press "playbar" and move it forward (remember to have the slider turned all the way down!!!)
2.Press "Pause"
3.Press "exit"(to exit the "playbar" screen)
4.Press "pause" again (unpause)
5.Press "stop"
6.Press "start"

The above procedure is very important as it enables me to continue with my performance without having to restart...still, I'm waiting for O.S. 1.3......

1.3 O.S. Hallelujah! ... or not...

I play the arranger so I'll just comment the upgrade on this regard...
Many good things happend, but a really nasty one came by...

Whenever you play a minor7th chord with the 7th played below the root, it will NOT recognize the minor 7th, and it'll play instead the 6th major relative. No matter the settings you tweek, it just doesn't "see" the chord... It did in 1.2.

I am pretty much fed up with this kind of problems... The latest Audya 5 has some bugs too - no need to mention - I know that the Ketron support knows what I'm talking about.

Please, fix this mess! Hire some more techs and give us a decent buggless OS.
Create different OS packages for different players needs... Charge them acordingly, but let us play instead of being stressed about all this matters.
Keep up with your customers!
We've payed you the money you've asked. Don't cheat on us!

Wow that's a major change, is this change documented in the release notes?

Even Casio gives players an option to exclude the 6th chord with some settings. I believe Roland requires all 4 notes, and the chord must be played with the root at the bottom.

IMO all arrangers should afford greater customization in this highly sensitive area.

No, that's the sad part, there are a lot of things that they don't mention in the release notes....you never know exactly what you'll get...I'm not sure if I'll make another update anymore...

On a comic note, I guess it's not about what the users want, but what Ketron has the skills to do.... Sad though...
