Connecting other equipment
 
If you use a USB cable to connect the USB connector located 
on the VIMA’s rear panel to the USB connector of your 
computer, you’ll be able to do the following things.
• Use the VIMA to play SMF data 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.

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 original driver may 
solve the problem.
For details on downloading and installing the original driver, 
refer to the Roland website.

Specify the USB driver you want to use, and then install the
