VIMA JM-5
6. Playing back songs
The JM-5 plays back songs stored on an external USB storage device (it doesn’t contain a hard disk). Be sure to prepare
one with the songs you intend to use. You can use your computer to prepare the USB storage device (a USB memory). We
recommend, however, to format the USB storage device with the JM-5 rather than your computer. See page 70 for how
to format your storage device. In addition, the JM-5’s demo songs can be played back if you select the corresponding
playlist.
On the JM-5, mp3, WAV and SMF files are considered
“songs”. Be aware, however, that mp3 and WAV files are
audio data (the ones you can burn onto a CD and play
back with almost any CD player). Standard MIDI Files, on
the other hand, contain MIDI data, i.e. instructions for a
tone generator. This is important to remember, because
it explains why some functions are only available for
Standard MIDI Files, while others only work with audio
files (WAV or mp3).
NOTE
See page 21 for the supported song files.
NOTE
Never remove the USB memory while playback or recording is
running or while data are being read from, or written to, an
external USB memory.
