Where is info available for MJ Plus? I don't see it on Ketron Italy website?
Ketron usa website doesn't work.
Is it just a software upgrade for the original? What does it offer new?
Thanks,

Here you go Don...

KETRON MIDJAYPLUS Details

The Midjay Plus is the new version of the Midjay, with a wavetable of 64 MB (double compared with the standard version), a greater variety of new sounds (including a stereo grand piano), drum sets and grooves. Thanks to the new sonic generation, the Midjay Plus can reproduce with greater balance and fidelity both styles and midifiles and offers new possibilities in the voice section as well.

The arranger section is totally new and includes 140 new styles derived from the Ketron SD5/SD3; this means that the Midjay Plus can offer the best unplugged, pop, swing, folk, latin and ballroom styles.

Improved is also the DJ Loop section, with new ambience sounds, especially in the chill out, lounge and dance sections.

The Midjay Plus comes with an 80 Gb hard disk, where is possibile to store a huge quantity of files, in Wav, MP3 and Midi formats.

The new display, with a 320x240 resolution, ensures a better navigation among the directories, while a new contrast control enables the user to adapt the display to the most disparate working situations. For those who want a wider visualization, the Midjay Plus can be connected to an external VGA monitor.

The new operative system (an improvement of the former version 4.0) reduces considerably the booting time and offers a complete support for both Windows Vista and Mac OS X.

Best,
Mike

Thanks MIke, I think I do remember seeing this somewhere. Don't see anything that would really be much different from the original, at least that I would use.
Just curious.

Does any one know if you can creat styles and or midi files directly on the midjay plus?

No you cannot. You can edit styles somewhat, changing instruments and volumes in the style parts. That's about it.
DonM

Is there a computer program where you can have the midjay and a controler keyboard connected to a computer and you can creat styles using the midjay sounds?

Hi,
I think the only way you'd be able to do it would be to use a pc sequencer to create the style tracks, then use EMC's import function to turn it into a style..

I used to use the import / export function in EMC to event list edit converted user styles for my sd1. Certainly not an ideal method, but at least it was something.
The SD1+ had the advantage of being able to record styles onboard or the option of recording style parts via midi thru a pc sequencer but Midjay I don't beleive has this option.
best wishes
