A R R A N G E R
MIDJPRO is not only a Player but also an Arranger and therefore features an entire section dedicated to automatic
accompaniments called Styles. Each Style has:
• Two tracks for drums and percussions on MIDI channels 9 and 10.
• One Bass track on Midi channel 5. Five harmonic tracks CH1, CH2,CH3,CH4,CH5 that function on Midi
channels 6,7,8,11,12.
• Two "Real Time" tracks, namely Lower 1 and Lower 2 that are assigned to the left split of the keyboard,
which function on MIDI channels 3 and 4.
• LEAD track that functions on the Upper section, namely on the right of the keyboard Split.
A lyrics file may also be displayed when playing a Style. If you wish to associate a lyrics file to a Style, exit "Style" mode,
load the lyrics file, return to "Style" mode and save the Registration.
Each Style has: 3 INTROs; 3 ENDINGs; 4 ARRANGEMENTS (A, B, C, D); 4 FILLs; 4 BREAKs.
Another way to change the Style is by quickly inserting or removing the last 3 harmonic accompaniment tracks CH3, CH4,
CH5 with the 3 VARIATION keys.
By pressing the STYLE key on the front panel, you will access the main screen of the Arranger.
The main styles categories (Ballad, Pop, Dance etc...) are displayed in the column on the right.
The Styles of the category selected are displayed on the right. The keys for specific functions are displayed lower down on
the screen:
- KEY START: With this key, a style plays as soon as you play a chord on the Lower section of the keyboard connected to
the Midi In of the instrument, without having to press START/STOP.
- KEY STOP: This key stops the accompaniment when you lift your hand from the Lower section of the keyboard.
- REINTRO: When a Style is enabled, by pressing the Intro/Ending key, the Intro will be played again instead of the
Ending. If the key Reintro is enabled in Stop mode, press the Intro/Ending keys to skip the Intro and pass directly to the
Ending.
- SPLIT: By selecting this control (the key turns yellow) and then pressing a note on the Midi keyboard connected, you set
the area that divides the Lower section (left) from the Upper section (right) of the keyboard that is used.
-HOLD ON: Keeps the accompaniment playing even when you stop playing the chord with your left hand until you play the
next chord.
