Saving your new song version
VIMA JM-5

4.
If you are satisfied with your changes and
wish to preserve them, save your song to the
USB storage device.
See “Saving your new song version” on p. 53.
NOTE
The changes you make using the procedure described
above can be “burned” into the song file using the “Freeze
Data” and “Save” commands. Doing so will allow you to
hear those changes on any sequencer (software) you use.
Changes you don’t “freeze” are nevertheless stored when
you save the edited song file—but only the JM-5 can read
them.
Freeze Data
Before saving your “made-up” song to a USB storage
device, you can (but you don’t have to) “commit” your
changes, thereby turning them into “regular” song data.
This may come in handy if you also want to play back
your new song version on another sequencer or your
computer. This operation is unnecessary for files you
only want to use with the JM-5, but you need to per-
form it if you want to use the new settings on another
sequencer.
Select this entry, then press the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to
permanently change the song file you have been edit-
ing. Next, save your song (see below).
Saving your new song version
1.
If you are happy with your changes and wish
to preserve them, select the “Save” parame-
ter.
The display shows the last folder you selected on the
USB memory.
NOTE
Even songs for which you did not perform the “Freeze
Data” command need to be saved using this procedure if
you want to keep the changes.
2.
Select another folder than the one that con-
tains the original file if you do not want to
overwrite the original version.
Panpot -127~+127 Use this parameter to
set the stereo place-
ment of the selected
drum instrument. “0”
means “no change”,
negative values shift
the instrument
towards the left and
positive values shift it
towards the right.
Velocity -127~+127 This parameter allows
you to modify the
velocity range of the
drum instrument in
question. “0” means
that the recorded val-
ues are left untouched,
a negative setting
reduces all velocity
values by the same
amount (leaving varia-
tions intact). A posi-
tive setting shifts all
velocity values in a
positive direction.
Pitch -127~+127 Use this parameter to
tune the selected drum
instrument higher or
lower. “0” means that
the pitch is left
unchanged.
Instr. Equalizer Global, Instr,
Off
Global: The drum
instrument uses the
equalizer settings of
the Drum Set it
belongs to.
Instr: The drum instru-
ment uses its own
equalizer settings (see
below).
Off: The drum instru-
ment is not equalized.
Edit EQ (Press the
[CURSOR÷VAL
UE] dial)
Provides access to the
EQ parameters of the
currently selected
drum instrument (if
“Instr. Equalizer” is set
to “Int”). See “Edit EQ”
on p. 52 for a descrip-
tion of the available
parameters.
Undo Changes (Press the
[CURSOR÷VAL
UE] dial)
This function allows
you to cancel the
“Drum Instrument (D)”
settings of the cur-
rently selected instru-
ment and to revert to
the previously saved
version.
