Recently I have come into possession of the Ketron Midjay Plus module, a weird contraption really which combines mp3 player, midi-player, recorder etc. as well as a complete arranger keyboard that reads most of the SD5 and previous ketron arranger styles. Soundwise it is a bit of a mixed bag but of course the drums are outstanding.All in all I am very pleased with it,but.....
This module too sports 4 sets of midi soundbanks apart from the GM soundbank. I know how to enter a 9 digit
midi code in the Korg PA800 to reach the innards of the Ketron but so far I have failed to reach the extra soundbanks.
The Ketron manual says this :
PRESET VOICES: CONTROL 0 VALUE 3
BANK 1 CONTROL 0 VALUE 0
BANK 2 CONTROL 0 VALUE 1
BANK 3 CONTROL 0 VALUE 2
I wonder if someone could tell me how to address these different soundbanks and with which 9 digit codes ?
Any help would me greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John
The 9 digits you can enter in your Korg are most probably composed of three groups of three values:
1) MSB (bank select)
2) LSB ("sub-bank")
3) PC (program change).
The MSB is defined by controller 0, the value given by Ketron for the extra banks are either 0,1 or 2. That means: the first three digits are: 000, 001 or 002.
The LSB is defined by controller 32, but Ketron doesn't give values here, so the middle three digits must be: 000 (or switched off, if Korg allows this.
The last three digits are the PC number given for each individual sound in the Ketron sound list.
So, for example, for sound no.2 in Bank 2 the value should be:
001 000 002.
Hope this helps. I would be interested in the result.
