Before You Play

 

The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll use them 
mainly when playing piano.

While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an 
extended time even if you release your fingers from the 
keyboard.
The length of sustain will change subtly depending on how 
deeply you press the pedal.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will 
cause the strings for notes other than the ones you actually 
play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played, 
producing a rich resonance. The VIMA simulates this 
sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).

 

The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will 
be sustained.

 

If you hold down this pedal, the notes will be softer in tone.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to 
which you press the pedal.

 

If you feel that the pedal is unstable (for example if you’ve 
moved the VIMA to a different location), you can adjust the 
adjuster located on the bottom of the pedals as follows.

 

❍

 

Turn the adjuster to lower it until the adjuster is in firm 
contact with the floor. The pedal may be damaged if there 
is a gap between the adjuster and the floor. In particular, 
when you’ve placed the VIMA on carpet, you must turn 
the adjuster until it is pressing firmly against the floor.

You can use the “Demo” function to experience the VIMA’s 
features and major performance functions.

 

The demo will begin automatically.
The [VIDEO MONITOR] button will automatically turn on 
(lit), and the VIMA’s display will show the demo.

If you’ve connected an external display or a 
television to the VIMA, the demo will also 
appear in the external display or television.
