Convenient Functions
With the normal setting, GS tones (sounds that are compatible with
other GS instruments) will normally be used to play back song data.
By changing this setting, you can play back song using HPi-7S-specific
tones for certain portions of the data.
Refer to “Making the Settings” (p. 86) for instructions.
After changing this setting, try selecting the song once
again.
Some commercially available music files for use in karaoke, as well as
some of the internal songs include lyrics data. You can have the lyrics
screen be displayed automatically when playing back these kinds of
song data.
Refer to “Making the Settings” (p. 86) for instructions.
You can connect a commercially available USB CD drive to the HPi-
7S, and play back separately sold CD-ROMs created for the VIMA
(VIMA TUNES).
Songs on VIMA CD-ROM (VIMA TUNES) are programmed with
“recommended tones” suitable for each song.
When you select a song from a VIMA CD-ROM (VIMA TUNES),
recommended tones will be assigned to the HPi-7S’s [Strings], [Voice]
and [Others] tone buttons, and these three tone buttons will blink.
When you press a flashing Tone button, the recommended tone is then
selected, enabling you to perform the selected song using a tone
matched to that song as it plays back.
You can set the HPi-7S so that the recommended tones are
automatically assigned or not assigned.
Refer to “Making the Settings” (p. 86) for instructions.
This is set to “On” at the factory.
If you are playing the HPi-7S through a connected external system,
there may be cases in which the volume from your external system is
too low even when the HPi-7S’s volume is turned to the maximum
setting. In such cases, you can adjust the master gain setting as
follows.
Adjusting the master gain will also affect the volume of the internal
speakers and headphones.
Refer to “Making the Settings” (p. 86) for instructions.
The sound may distort if you increase the volume
excessively.
