Before You Play
By connecting a commercially available CD drive that is USB-
compatible, you can use the DP-990 to play back ordinary
music CDs or songs from a CD-ROM that contains SMF music
files (p. 42).
The DP-990 provides a range of performance possibilities,
such as a “Center Cancel” function, which minimizes the vocal
portion of commercially available CDs so that you can sing the
vocal yourself (p. 50), and a “Melody Guide” function, which
mutes the melody portion of SMF music files so that you can
play it yourself (p. 46).
* You can also play songs on VIMA CD-ROMs (VIMA TUNES) sold
by Roland.
Precautions Concerning Use of the CD
• You cannot play back CD-R/RW disks to which audio
tracks have been added or CDs containing both audio
tracks and data (CD Extra).
• The DP-990 is capable of playing back only commercial
CDs that conform the official standards—those that carry
the “COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO” logo.
• The usability and sound quality of audio discs that
incorporate copyright protection technology and other
non-standard CDs cannot be guaranteed.
• For more detailed information on audio discs featuring
copyright protection technology and other non-standard
CDs, please consult the disc vendor.
• You cannot save songs to CDs, and you cannot delete
songs recorded to CDs. Furthermore, you cannot format
CDs.
A list of the CD drives that have been tested and
found to be compatible is available on the Roland
