JM-5
2. Features
Versatile player
The JM-5 can play back audio files (mp3 and WAV)
and SMF files from an external USB Memory.
Connect two microphones
The JM-5 is a professional vocal system with two
microphone inputs, vocal effects and a video output
for displaying the song lyrics and chords on an exter-
nal screen. It is perfect for karaoke applications in
stores, bars, schools, private homes, concert venues
and at parties.
Enjoy singing together
The JM-5 can be connected to a TV set, a monitor or a
projector and display the lyrics of the selected songs
as well as digital photos that to match the atmo-
sphere.
There is no need to buy dedicated “karaoke versions”
of the music you wish to perform: the JM-5 contains
a “Center Cancel” function that can attenuate the
vocal parts of most audio files.
Dedicated effects to enhance your vocal and
instrumental performances
The two microphone inputs allow you to perform
duets with someone else, and add other audio signals
by connecting the source in question to the AUDIO IN
socket.
You can also add automatic harmonies simply by
singing to a song, add a reverb and echo effect
(based on a model of the legendary Roland Space
Echo) to your voice and change your voice to pro-
duce a robot, animal or “gender transformation”
effect.
Playlist function
Thanks to the JM-5’s “Playlist” function, you can pro-
gram set lists for your performances or for back-
ground music in restaurants, bars, schools, hotel lob-
bies, concert halls, etc. This function is also conve-
nient for entertainers who cannot afford to load the
songs one after another while on stage.
Cover function for Standard MIDI Files
Simply by selecting one of 30 presets, you can cause
a Viennese waltz to be played back by a heavy metal
band, etc. Even though the arrangement (rhythm,
riffs) does not change, the songs’ character can be
modified beyond recognition.
Song Makeup Tools for Standard MIDI files
These tools allow you to modify songs in no time
without knowing the MIDI commands normally used
to perform such changes.
Multi-effects for Standard MIDI Files
With a view to obtaining the highest possible sound
quality, the JM-5 contains three dedicated multi-
effects processors (MFX A, B, and C) for Standard
MIDI Files.
USB-based Standard MIDI File and audio file
player
The JM-5 plays Standard MIDI Files (SMF), mp3 and
WAV files directly from a connected USB memory.
To get you started, the JM-5 is supplied with a
Roland M-UF2G USB memory (with a capacity of
2GB) where you can save your audio recordings and
the songs you wish to play back.
USB-based audio recorder
The JM-5 allows you to record your performances as
audio data. The resulting WAV files can be played
back on the JM-5 itself or transferred to a computer
via a USB storage device.
A powerful MIDI module
The JM-5’s internal sound source can also be con-
trolled via MIDI (from a MIDI-compatible keyboard
instrument, a computer, etc.). Three real-time parts
are available that can play different parts simulta-
neously, using different sounds. There is a second
MIDI mode (“Song Parts”) in which the is 16-part
multitimbral.
…and so much more!
