Muting The Melody From A Song (Melody Mute) - Roland VIMA RK-100 Owner's Manual

Muting the melody from a song (Melody Mute)

You can play back a preset (internal) song or a song from a CD-ROM made for the VIMA
(VIMA TUNES) with the melody portion muted. This is called the "Melody Mute" function.
While listening to the song, you can play the melody yourself.
1. Prepare to play back the desired song.
If you want to play back a song from a CD-ROM, insert the CD-ROM into the CD drive
(p. 22).
Select the song that you want to play (p. 19, p. 22).

3. Press the [MUTE/CENTER CANCEL] button so it's lit.

4. Press the [PLAY/STOP] button to play back the song.
When the song plays, the sound of the melody will be temporarily muted.
Play the melody yourself while listening to the other parts of the song.
NOTE
To cancel the Melody Mute function
1. Press the [MUTE/CENTER CANCEL] button to turn it off.
The Melody Mute function is turned off.
When you play back the song, the melody will return to its original volume.
There's also a "Melody Guide" function (p. 42), which lets you decrease the volume of
the melody so that you can practice playing the melody along with the song, but still
hear the melody until you've learned it.
If the melody is not muted when you press the MELODY [MUTE/CENTER CANCEL]
button, change the melody channel setting as it will depend on the song.
