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.

Would the Ketron multi foot pedal serve the same purpose?

Hey !
I just add some schematics and pin configuration for the DIY Midjay controller.
Hope it helps.

Thanks, viocaia!

Was about to inquire of the good Ketron folks about that pinout.

You have answered a question for me.
