[ALTERNATE]

 Alternate

 S P A C E B A R
 Caps Lock

 

  • When the mouse is in the play area, [ALTERNATE] freezes the X-Y position, but not in the way [SHIFT] and [CONTROL] do. The X-Y point is freezed in the way that internally MIDIJOY thinks there is no mouse movement. You can move the mouse to a new position, and when you release [ALTERNATE] that new position is "found" by the music.
  • When the mouse is in Jive-function (The mouse looks like a cross), [ALTERNATE] suppresses the changing of values.
  • Together with a function key a scale-pitch setup is saved (otherwise it is loaded).
  • Together with a numeric key a value-box setup is saved (otherwise it is loaded).
  • Together with a midbox-key the tracks that are on get a random-value, and sent by midi when necessary.

In some cases [ALTERNATE] prevents the sending of midi-data. This is with individual value-changes of midi-data (PCH MOD/PAN and VOL). For instance, when switching from pch 10 to 20, the program changes in between are not sent when [ALTERNATE] is pressed.


 

[SPACE BAR] Start Stop toggle

 Alternate

 S P A C E B A R
 Caps Lock

Toggles between Start and Stop. The left mouse key can also be used as start-key but there are some differences. The [space bar] also functions as a reset-key for the cycle that happens between 2 clicks of the metronome (imaginary clicks). The [space bar] does not send an All Notes Off message when used as Stop. This was purposed. It can be done additionally with the [DELETE]-key.

Important detail: The [space bar] toggles between play and not play, but if [ALTERNATE] is pressed together with the [space bar], the [space bar] will never cause to stop, but only reset the cycle.


[CAPS LOCK]

THIS IS WHAT CAPS LOCK DOES FOR YOU. In MIDIJOY it does nothing...at least the Dutch manual doesn't mention it and I do not recollect it. Do you have any suggestions?
