What does “RECOMMENDED” mean?
Sounds that are suitable for each song
in the VIMA or on a VIMA TUNES™ (a
CD-ROM created specifi cally for the
VIMA) are automatically assigned to the
“RECOMMENDED IN SMF” buttons (1–3).
You can also assign your own favorite
sounds to these buttons.
For more about the instrument buttons, see p. 81 in the
Owner’s Manual.
