THE MIDI-ACCOMPANIST - by JLS Designs Ltd
An Introduction to 'George'

The Midi Accompanist music player. 'George' has been developed to aid worship in situations where music and/or musicians are not available. It becomes a music player when it is plugged into a keyboard or tone generator, and can in most cases be connected into PA systems. The unit comes complete with power adaptor and leads to enable quick connection for instant music.

'George' MIDI Accompanist

The Hymn tunes are stored in a plug-in cartridge, which can then be selected for playing individually. Each cartridge represents a complete Hymn Book making tune selection and playing very easy. A full listing of Hymns or choruses along with an index of tunes and meters where relevant, is included.

JLS would be happy to provide a demonstration of George on-site for Churches within the South West area, or here at JLS Designs. Also we can supply compatible Keyboards and amplification equipment as necessary.

The well proven technology and simple operation (no musical skills are required and it is definitely user friendly) makes it ideal for Churches and Fellowships where there is a shortage of musical skills and where resources are limited. George is currently being used by churches, missionaries and Armed Forces world - wide. George is also available in a standalone briefcase, with tone generator and active speakers giving the user the ability to play music in church, housegroup or even in the open air. The project seeks to enhance Christian Worship by making good quality Christian music accessible to all.
