I’m sure lots of you have a friend (or yourself) that has a keyboard and with some friends you have spent many time playing, or trying to play, your favorite songs or original “concept songs” (meaning foolish sounds made only for fun). Making this kind of things is one of the Roland VIMA keyboards’ features, because this keyboard is a home video/audio entertainment center.
The VIMAs feature music (iPod, CD, DVD, …) and video (DVDs, with not-included external TV) playing, karaoke mode (with not-included mic and TV, you can even make duets with 2 mics), CD vocal track muting, video music making (adding your played songs to your home videos, you must use Mac OS X and iLife), 264 built-in instruments (including voice modifiers) an many more. There are two VIMA models, the RK-500 with 88 keys, 2×50W speakers, USB input, … and RK-100 with 61 keys, 2×14.8W speakers, … (doesn’t have support images or video).
The VIMA is one of those products that I doubt it will be released outside Japan, but I don’t know if anyone in Japan is crazy enough to spend $1,250 for VIMA RK-100 or $7,215 for VIMA RK-500.
