Connecting Other Equipment

 

If you use a USB cable (commerdially available) to connect the 
USB connector located on the VIMA’s rear bottom panel to the 
USB connector of your computer, you’ll be able to do the 
following things.

• Use the VIMA to play SMF music files played back by 

MIDI-compatible software (such as Media Player).

• By transferring MIDI data between the VIMA and your 

sequencer software, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide range 
of possibilities for music production and editing.

Connect the VIMA to your computer as shown below.

* Refer to the Roland website for system requirements. 

However, please be aware that the VIMA does not 
support Mac OS 9.

Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order to connect 
the VIMA to your computer. However, if some problem occurs, 
or if the performance is poor, using the Roland original driver 
may solve the problem.
For details on downloading and installing the Roland original 
driver, refer to the Roland website.

Specify the USB driver you want to use, and then install the 
driver. For details, refer to “Changing the USB Driver Settings 
(USB Driver)” (p. 129).

• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or speaker 

damage, always make sure to turn the volume all the 
way down and turn off the power on all equipment 
before you make any connections.

• Only MIDI data can be transmitted and received via 

USB. Data for a song recorded on the VIMA cannot 
be transmitted or received.

• A USB cable is not included. If you need to obtain 

one, ask the dealer where you purchased the VIMA.

• Switch on power to the VIMA before you start up the 

MIDI application on your computer. Don’t turn the 
VIMA’s power on/off while your MIDI application is 
running.
