VIMA JM-8
In-depth editing of SMF songs
To avoid confusion, we decided to explain the avail-
able parameters elsewhere. See "MFX types and
parameters" on p. 153. Here's how to edit the param-
eters:
(a) Press the display field of the parameter you wish to
change (the number of fields and their functions
depend on the selected type).
If the required parameter is not displayed, press the
PAGE display buttons to jump to another page.
(Some effects only have one parameter page.)
(b) Set the desired value with the dial.
[REVERB¥SEND] and [CHORUS¥SEND] (upper right
corner) allow you to specify how strongly the
multi-effect's output signal should be processed by
the Reverb and/or Chorus processor. If that is
unnecessary, set both parameters to "0".
(c) Press the [BACK] display button to return to the
previously selected page.
EQUALIZER
(1) See "General procedure" on p. 87 for how to select
this page.
(2) Press the EQUALIZER [ON÷OFF] display button to
switch the equalizer on or off for this instrument.
(3) Press the EQUALIZER [EDIT] display button to
change the equalizer settings. The display changes
to:
The name of the currently selected instrument is dis-
played in the upper left corner. You cannot select dif-
ferent instruments here.
(4) Press the [OFF/ON] display button to the right of
the instrument name to switch the equalizer on or
off for the selected instrument.
(The [EDIT] message next to it means that you can
change the parameters on this page. It cannot be
switched off.)

(5) Press the display field of the parameter you wish to
change.
(6) Set the desired value with the dial.
INSTR VOL: This parameter duplicates the VOLUME
parameter on the PALETTE page. The reason why it's
also available here is that some equalizer settings
may lead to rather noticeable level drops or hikes.
HI FREQ HZ (1500, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000,
12000Hz): This parameter allows you to set the cut-
off frequency of the high band (this is a shelving fil-
ter).
HI GAIN DB (–15~15dB): Use this parameter to set
the level of the selected HI frequency. Positive values
boost (increase the volume of) that frequency, nega-
tive values cut (attenuate) it.
MID FREQ HZ (200~8000Hz): This parameter allows
you to set the cutoff frequency of the middle band
(this is a peaking filter).
MID Q (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8): Use this parameter to specify
the width of the MID FREQ band that you want to
boost or cut. Smaller values mean that neighboring
frequencies above/below that value are also affected.
MID GAIN DB (–15~15dB): Use this parameter to
set the level of the selected MID frequency. Positive
values boost (increase the volume of) that frequency,
negative values cut (attenuate) it.
LO FREQ HZ (90, 150, 180, 300, 360, 600): This
parameter allows you to set the cutoff frequency of
the low band (this is a shelving filter).
LO GAIN DB (–15~15dB): Use this parameter to set
the level of the selected LO frequency. Positive values
boost (increase the volume of) that frequency, nega-
tive values cut (attenuate) it.
(7) If you also want to use these equalizer settings for
other instruments, proceed as follows:
(a) Set the EQ parameters to your liking.
(b) Press the [Copy¥Values] display button.
(c) Press the [BACK] display button and use the [ø][˚]
display buttons to select the instrument that
should use the same settings.
(d) Press the EQUALIZER [EDIT] display button to call
up the "INSTRUMENT EQUALIZER" page.
(e) Press the [Paste¥Values] display button to assign the
equalizer settings to the newly selected instru-
ment.
(8) Press the [BACK] display button to return to the
previously selected page.
