Hi AJ:
A few day ago I have bought the new Midjay Plus version 5.00 release.
I have problem with playing midi files and patterns.
For example the first factory pattern 12_8BALL from the Midjay Plus where the kick drum not playing clearly in Arrange D.
I think that fact is maybe the Midjay Plus have not enough polyphony or has an error of procesor for clear sound on drums track.
If I have load the pattern in to Midjay Plus and I hear that the kick drum on Arrange D sounds not clear, if I use edit the style and switch off the chord2 or chord3 the sound is clear.
Also I have try my midi file playing on Midjay Plus and also the sound from drums not playing good,
I hear some scratch and cut voices in kick drum, snare drum and others drums instruments.
On my Midjay Plus the snare, kick drums, crash cymbals , ect...sounds not good (sound is chocking)or very short.
I know that the midifiles sounded fine on old Midjay, because my friend give me a message that the midifile sounded fine on his old Midjay. I have tested the midi file on others Ketron, like SD-1, SD-2, X1 SD-5 and this midi file sounded fine.
Please give me a suggestion as to what is wrong and how to fix it. Is that hardware error or bug in software?
I know that the problem is not only on mine Midjay Plus, because I have received message from guy who living in Spain and he has also the same problem with his Midjay Plus. I don't know if Ketron Italy ignored my message ? ? ?
I'll be awaiting for your reply

Hey Mariusz
Sometime I'm facing same story about short drums with my v4 Midjay.I found out that drum instruments are respecting strictly the lenght of the notes.Let's say if you have a crush with lenght 0 , the sound will be very short.If you try to change the lenght with a sequencer, everything turns ok.
Hope it helps,
Vio

This one of the biggest problems with ketron. Anyone of their new releases always had big issues and it take updates after updates to resolve the problems. Sometimes the updates don't resolve all of the problems. I would pack it up and ship it right back.

Thank you for your reply, but this is not this problem. I checked lenght of the notes, and changed, but any result, still the same problem.

As I say before in factory style (12_8BALL set to Arr D) from Midjay Plus
on drums track and string track I hear "cutting voices"
when I use the STYLE and play live on the right hand in all voices the sound is break.

For example when I press any key and depressed a key for long time
the sound is break.(should continued but was break)
On right hand I have set "musette" and depressed the note for long time. But the voice was break. If you have MJ+ please listen how sounded the kick drum (heared some cracks).
I do a record from the factory STYLE 12_8BALL to my PC Cubase sequencer and found, that when I delete SUSTAIN controllers from Grand Piano track on CHORD1 the style sounds OK
and don't break the right hand voice.

I have found many bugs in new MJ+.
I couldn't understand why Ketron sell MJ+ with errors (not tested).

Hey!
I had SD1+ and now I own Midjay v4.Well, it's true they have a lot of bugs and the one you're describing looks like bad patches.I hope they will fix it in a new OS release 'cause I'm ready to upgrade to Midjay Plus. BTW how's the sound compare with the old one? Is it really worth the expenses?
Good luck,
Vio

MIDJAY PLUS sounds the same like SD-5.
