Soaring melodies fuel a music time machine launching the listener to the top of a world yet discovered. Reminiscent of the early works of Sasha and BT,
My Piano's uplifting melody, combined with a funky, asymmetrical bass line creates a progressive, feel-good vibe on the floor while providing a memorable
hook to take home until you next adventure in club land.

Killer Progressive Tribal House from Spain's BeatFreak Recordings. Dark Iberican beast, dense pulsing basslines, it doesn't get much better than this Black Magic!

../ Edirol Introduces New HD Video Mixer
Edirol, a subsidiary of Roland,
introduced a new multi format live video mixer/switcher dubbed the V-400HD. The V-400HD offers
a professional high-resolution video solution for VJs, live events, community broadcast, and club installations.
Based on their successful Edirol V-4, the HD mixer seamlessly mixes eight inputs in both the Standard Definition (SD) video
and HD video formats, as well as computer signals up to SXGA. The output format is selectable between 1080i, 720p
or XGA/SXGA. Like the original V-4, the new mixer offers an array of transitions, Picture-in-Picture locations
via joystick as well as two independent Keyers (SD and HD).
Kim Nunney, President of Edirol North America, feels that the V-400HD is the perfect transition piece to allow
VJs to migrate from standard video to High-Definition. "We are excited about offering a solution that will allow our customers to grow into HD. With the V-400HD's ability
to handle standard video and computer inputs, many users can start using it now with their current cameras and data projectors. As they acquire HD/HDV cameras or higher-resolution
display technology, the mixer will continue to serve them well."
V-400HD has the ability to chain multiple units together enabling a single HD image to be spread across
multiple output displays which is an all-in-one solution for multiscreen performance. In addition, Roland's
proprietary V-LINK allows the mixer to be controlled from any Roland/Edirol instrument via MIDI. Traditional
computer control via RS-232C is also supported. The V-400HD is expected to be available by Christmas 2005.
The Future: With the new
High-Definition camcorder options now available, it was only a matter of time before a manufacturer addressed this need. By introducing a relatively affordable HD mixer before the competition,
Edirol is able to stay one step ahead in this volcanic market segment.
