Singing Along with the VIMA

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.

You can control the key of not only an internal song or SMF music files, but also the sound from a

music CD, portable audio player, or DVD player. This is convenient when you/re singing along with a

music CD.

Press the [ ] button to lower the key, or press the [ ] button to raise the key.

This can be set in a range of -6–5 (semitone steps).
