I have just bought the Impressive sd-1, wow what a machine, I intend to get the midjay as well in about 6 months.
I am building sets and working on songs at the moment for piano bar work, I will be using the midjay(with midi controller) on the road and the sd-1 will stay in the studio.
I was wondering about the midi files included with a new midjay, how many are there and what are the song titles, is there anywhere publishing this info.
Ideally i could get a copy of these files store them on my sd1 HD and set to work on them.
also is everything transferrable from sd1 to midjay.
I hope to do all my work on the sd-1 and transfer everything to my midjay.
styles - midis - registrations etc.
I am desperate for the bonus midjay midis, if you can help drop me a email or if you want to add any tips for me re this type of project all is much appreciated.

by the way if you have just come across ketron in the last few weeks or months and have never heard one let me say this - YOU WILL BE AMAZED.
after years farting about with yamaha and roland I have finally found a real entertainers peice of kit, the journey begins - setting about how to use it.
exciting or what!

Congratulations. We're glad you feel happy with your new Ketron SD1. Now to answer some of your questions above:-

1. The Midi files within the Midijay are mostly Italian and were installed for you to use and also as demos for the Midijay unit. This is true for most of the data installed in the midijay from the factory (wave, MP3, Midi ..etc) ~ something to get you started. There is no official list of the names of the Midifiles within this unit.

2. Yes, you can transfer ALL the MIDIFILES and STYLES from the HD of the Midijay to the HD of your SD1. They will play back closely identically. However files like REGISTRATIONS, WAVE (greater than 2MB), MP3, PLAYLIST and Machine files will NOT work in the SD1/SD1Plus/SD1Plus-EXP or other Ketron keyboard. These are exclusive to the Midijay only.

3. Registrations and NON transferable due to the fact that the machines are NOT idential. The information stored say within the MIDIJAY Registration might hold say lyrics or certain buttons that are on/off which are not in the SD1 and vis versa.

Thanks,

AJ
