Look at All You Can Do with the VIMA
The VIMA is a new concept of keyboard that allows even musically inexperienced people to
connect a LCD television, video camera, portable audio player, or other devices, and enjoy
music and video.
“Progressive Hammer Action
II
” (PHA
II
) keyboard delivers the
playing touch characteristic of a piano, letting you enjoy full-
fledged piano performance with a playing feel like that of a
grand piano.

This feature simulates the sound and expressive power of the grand piano, including aspects such as the
sympathetic resonance of the piano strings, the way in which the sound is affected by the opened or closed
position of the piano lid, and the subtle sounds that occur when the damper pedal is pressed to release the
strings. You can create your own personalized piano sound by adjusting these factors to your taste.
In addition to piano sounds, a variety of carefully selected sounds for manual playing is also built-in. There
are also dedicated sounds specifically for use with the “Layer” function (which lets you combine sounds), or
with the “Split” function, which lets you play different sounds in the left and right hands.
You can play along with internal songs, or songs from USB memory, CD-ROM, or a music CD.
You can also silence the melody part and play the melody yourself, or reduce the volume of the melody and
use it as a guide for your own performance.
“ANIME” is a special effect that displays graphics or text on the screen in synchronization with your
keyboard playing or the song playback; the graphics or text will move around the screen and gradually
disappear.
This can be a way of enhancing the visual impact when you’re performing along with a song or along with
a slide show or DVD video.
