Initializing the JM-8 (Factory Reset)

VIMA JM-8

■ Audio Recorder Attenuation

This parameter may come in handy when you notice

that your audio recordings (see p. 37) contain distor-

tion.

When this function is switched on (the display button

lights), the JM-8’s internal audio level is attenuated

by –12dB before its is recorded.

■ Audio Recorder Sync

The JM-8 allows you to decide how the JM-8’s

recorder can be started and stopped. Press the

[AUDIO¥RECORDER¥SYNC] to select the desired set-

ting.

SYSTEM section

■ USB Driver

Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order

to connect the JM-8 to your computer via the USB

MIDI connector. However, if some problem occurs, or

if the performance is poor, using the original Roland

driver may solve the problem. If you do so, make the

following setting to specify the USB driver you intend

to use before you install the driver.

After selecting the required setting, press the [EXIT]

button several times to return to the main page,

switch off the JM-8 (page 18), wait a few second,

then switch it back on again.

■ Touch Screen Beep

The JM-8’s display generates a beep sound each time

you press a display button or area. That way, you

know when you have selected parameter. You can

switch this beep off if you find it distracting.

SONG section

■ Internal Name

If you don’t recognize the SMF songs you need while

looking for them on the main page or using the

Finder, this may be because the file name provides no

clue about the song the file is referring to. SMF songs

also have an “internal name” that is usually more

specific. If you prefer to see the internal names of

SMF songs, switch on this display button.

■ Lyrics Smooth Highlighting

The JM-8 can display lyrics either syllable by syllable

or in a smoother fashion that may be easier to follow.

If you prefer the second approach, activate this dis-

play button.

Initializing the JM-8 (Factory Reset)

The following function allows you to recall the JM-8’s

original factory settings. This has no effect on the data

stored on the internal hard disk.

Here is how to initialize your JM-8:

(1) Press the [EXIT] button repeatedly until it stops

flashing to return to the main page (if necessary).

(2) Press [MENU] ‰ [ADVANCED] ‰ [UTILITY].

(3) On the page that appears now, press the

[FACTORY¥RESET] display button (if necessary).

(4) Press the [ENTER] display button to initialize the

JM-8 or the [EXIT] button to return to the menu if

you have changed your mind.

The “Operation successful” message informs you that

the JM-8 has been initialized.
