Enjoying VIMA TUNES Songs
The ATELIER can play back separately available VIMA CD-ROMs (VIMA TUNES).
This allows you to play back VIMA TUNES songs while you enjoy
performing with recommended sounds.
VIMA TUNES
VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music files that contains
image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs with lyrics and
images simultaneously. When data bearing the “VIMA TUNES”
logo is played back on a device that bears the same logo, lyrics
can be shown on the screen of a connected external display or
television, letting you enjoy karaoke or watch a slide show.
* The ATELIER is not able to play back VIMA TUNES images.
