VIMA JM-8

6. Adding pictures to the music

You can connect an external display or a television to the JM-8, and use it to watch a slide show, a notation, or video

footage from another device connected to the JM-8.

Overview

Before showing you how to use the JM-8’s video func-

tionality, let us briefly look at the possibilities.

Note: Any video information that can be transmitted to an

external screen or TV set can also be viewed in the JM-8’s

internal display: just switch on the [VIDEO MONITOR] button.

■ Enjoy a slide show of photos from your digital

camera (see right)

Photos of your vacation or family can be viewed as a

slide show on a big-screen television or other exter-

nal display connected to the JM-8. Simply connect

your digital camera to the JM-8 using a USB cable,

and you’re ready to enjoy a slide show.

■ Zoom/pan the images of a slide show (page 44)

In addition to simply switching the images in a slide

show, you can zoom or pan the images for even more

enjoyment.

■ Perform with a background video from a DVD

player (page 17)

You can connect your DVD player to the VIDEO IN

socket and display the DVD video on a television or

an external display connected to the JM-8. By con-

necting the video device’s audio outputs to the JM-8

AUDIO IN sockets, you can listen to the music or nar-

ration.

■ Enjoy powerful sound and big-screen playback

from your portable audio/video player

By connecting your portable audio/video player to

the JM-8, you can enjoy powerful sound from the

amplification system connected to the JM-8 and big-

screen playback from a television or an external dis-

play connected to the JM-8. You can also attenuate

the melody from the portable audio player connected

to the JM-8 and sing along yourself (see p. 32).

■ Use the “ANIME” effect to add movement to

images (page 46)

The “ANIME” effect is a special effect that displays

graphics in synchronization with the song that’s

playing or with the timing at which you press the

keys of an external MIDI instrument.

This can enhance the visual impact when you’re per-

forming along with a song or along with a slide show

or the video signal of an external DVD player.

Note: The “ANIME” function is only available when you

play back Standard MIDI Files. It cannot be used together

with the “ZOOM/PAN” function.

■ View the score of the selected SMF part

(page 66)

The JM-8 provides a screen where the score of the

selected SMF part is displayed in real-time.

Note: This function is not available for audio files.

■ Follow the lyrics and chords of the selected song

(see p. 35)

The JM-8 can display the lyrics of the songs you play

back in synchronization with the music. For Standard

MIDI Files, it can even display the chords.

Playing photos automatically

(Slide Show)

“Slide Show” is a function that displays photos in suc-

cession. You can have the photos switch automatically

at the time interval you specify, somewhat like watch-

ing a movie.

Note: You can specify how the transition will occur between

images (photos) in the slide show. For details, refer to page 70.

Enjoying a VIMA TUNES slide show

You can watch a slide show while listening to a song on

an optional “VIMA TUNES” CD-ROM (produced for the

VIMA series).

Songs on “VIMA TUNES” CD-ROMs provide slide show

images suitable for each song, making it easy for you to

enjoy a slide show without having to provide your own

photos.

(1) Connect an external screen to the JM-8 (see p. 16).

(2) Insert the desired “VIMA TUNES” CD-ROM into the

CD drive on the right side panel.

“VIMA TUNES” songs are sold on CD-ROMs available

from your Roland dealer.

(3) Select a song (see p. 24).

Note: If “START WITH SONG” on p. 71 is switched on, slide

show playback starts as soon as you start song playback

and the [SLIDE SHOW] button is activated automatically.
