used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an  
inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave  
oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor.  
Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is  
used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction  
or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a  
separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter  
between this unit and the electrical outlet.  
one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove  
stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-  
abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit  
thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.  
402  
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind,  
to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.  
302  
Handling CD-ROMs  
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded

surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may  
not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commer-  
cially available CD cleaner.  
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power  
to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or  
damage to speakers or other devices.  
Repairs and Data  
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory

may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data  
should always be written down on paper (when possible).  
During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data.  
However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to  
memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be  
possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability  
concerning such loss of data.  
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To  
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or  
move it farther away from the source of interference.  
352a  
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception.  
Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.  
352b  
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,  
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.  
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or  
while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you  
should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater  
distance from this unit, or switch them off.  
354a  
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices  
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or  
otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat  
can deform or discolor the unit.  
355b  
• When moved from one location to another where the temper-  
ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets  
(condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or  
malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this  
condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it  
to stand for several hours, until the condensation has  
completely evaporated.  
358  
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This  
can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to  
produce sound.  
360  
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on  
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar  
the surface.  
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to  
prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure  
that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the  
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will  
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal  
elements.  
558a  
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s  
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use  
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about  
those around you (especially when it is late at night).  
559a  
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box  
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,  
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.  
560  
• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.  
561  
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold  
separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you  
risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.  
562  
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables  
that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use  
of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low,  
or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifica-  
tions, contact the manufacturer of the cable.  
985  
• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that  
depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note,  
however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced  
version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what  
you actually see in the display may not always match what  
appears in the manual.

Singing along with the VIMA  
You can connect a microphone to the microphone jack and use the VIMA for karaoke or  
for singing along with your own playing. Since the VIMA has two microphone jacks, you  
can connect two mics simultaneously for a duet.  
You can also apply echo to the sound of the microphone for additional enjoyment.  
Connecting a microphone  
Plug the mic(s) into the VOCAL jack(s) located at the right of the VIMA’s  
front panel.  
1.  
If you’re using only one microphone, you may connect it to either of the two VOCAL  
jacks.  
fig.ConnectMic-e.eps  
Cautions when using a microphone  
• Be careful of the volume late at night or early in the morning.  
• Lower the volume before you connect a microphone to the VIMA. If the volume is raised when you  
connect a microphone, noise may be output from the speakers.  
983  
• Acoustic feedback (a squealing noise) may occur depending on the position of the microphone and  
speakers. If this happens, take the following steps.  
• Point the microphone in a different direction  
• Move the microphone away from the speakers  
• Lower the volume

If you’re singing along with the song, adjust the song volume by turning the [VOLUME]  
knob while the song plays.  
If you’re playing the keyboard while you sing, adjust the keyboard volume by turning the  
[VOLUME] knob while you play the keyboard.  
Turn the panel VOCAL [LEVEL] knob to adjust the microphone volume.  
2.  
Turning the VOCAL [LEVEL] knob toward the left will lower the microphone volume, and  
turning it toward the right will raise the microphone volume.  
fig.MicVolume-e.eps  
You cannot adjust the volume of the two microphones individually.  
NOTE  
When you do not need to use a microphone, rotate the VOCAL [LEVEL] knob all the way

Changing the song to a key that’s comfortable for singing  
(Key Control)  
The “Key Control” function lets you play back a song at a different key. This is convenient  
when you’re singing along with the song, since you can shift the playback to a key that’s  
comfortable for the range of your voice.  
You can also use this function to transpose the pitch of your playing without changing  
your fingering on the keyboard. For example, if the song is in a difficult key with  
numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose to a key that’s easier for you to play.  
Use the KEY CONTROL [ ] [ ] buttons to change the key (pitch).  
1.  
Each time you press a KEY CONTROL [ ] [ ] button, the key is changed by a semitone.  
Pressing the [ ] button lowers the key, and pressing the [ ] button raises the key.  
The value you specify is shown in the screen.  
You can adjust the value in semitone steps over a range of -6--+5.

If you don’t hear this in headphones:  
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the piano to  
resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may also resonate sympathetically. In  
particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes and higher volumes. You can  
take the following measures to minimize resonances.  
• Locate the speakers 10--15 cm away from walls or other surfaces.  
• Keep the volume down.  
Low notes sound wrong, or  
are buzzy  
• Move away from the objects that are resonating.

Music Files That the VIMA Can Use  
What Are Music Files?  
Music files contains musical information such as how long the  
General MIDI  
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to  
key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to  
the key played, and other such information. Performance data  
is transmitted to the VIMA from music files saved in a CD-ROM  
and played back without change as songs. This is different  
than an audio CD, since the music file does not contain a  
recording of the sound itself. This makes it possible to change  
tempos and keys freely, allowing you to use it in many  
different ways.  
provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary  
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound  
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files  
that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI  
logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be  
played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to  
produce essentially the same musical performance.  
General MIDI 2  
Regarding Copyright  
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick  
up where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced  
expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that  
were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations,  
such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be  
handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the  
available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant  
sound generators are capable of reliably playing back music files  
that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.  
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does  
not include the new enhancements, is referred to as “General  
MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.  
Use of the song data supplied with the Data Disk attached to  
this product for any purpose other than private, personal  
enjoyment without the permission of the copyright holder is  
prohibited by law. Additionally, this data must not be copied,  
nor used in a secondary copyrighted work without the  
permission of the copyright holder.  
The VIMA Allows You To Use the  
Following Music Files  
GS Format  
VIMA TUNES  
VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music data that  
contains image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs with  
lyrics and images simultaneously. When data bearing the  
“VIMA TUNES” logo is played back on a device that bears the  
same logo, lyrics can be shown on the screen of a connected  
external display or television, letting you enjoy karaoke or watch  
a slide show.  
The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for standardizing  
the performance of sound generating devices. In addition to  
including support for everything defined by the General MIDI,  
the highly compatible GS Format additionally offers an  
expanded number of sounds, provides for the editing of sounds,  
and spells out many details for a wide range of extra features,  
including effects such as reverb and chorus. Designed with the  
future in mind, the GS Format can readily include new sounds  
and support new hardware features when they arrive. Since it is  
upwardly compatible with the General MIDI, Roland’s GS  
Format is capable of reliably playing back GM Scores equally  
as well as it performs GS music files (music files that have been  
created with the GS Format in mind).  
* This instrument (RK-100) is not able to play back VIMA  
TUNES images.  
SMF Music Files  
SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music file  
that was formulated so that files containing music file could be  
widely compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the  
listening device. An enormous variety of music is available,  
whether it be for listening, for practicing musical instruments, for  
Karaoke, etc.  
XG lite  
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that  
defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and  
the structure and type of effects, in addition to the General  
MIDI 1 specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone  
generation format. You can play back any XG music files using  
an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that some  
music files may play back differently compared to the original  
files, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.  
SMF with Lyrics  
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that  
contains the lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “SMF with  
Lyrics” logo are played back on the VIMA, the lyrics will  
appear in its display.
