Hi-STANDARD - BRAND NEW SUNSET
This is a Japanese punk rock band called Hi-STANDARD. They're sick! Check this out!
New arrival for beatmania!
I just got beatmania THE FINAL running on my machine a few days ago and decided to make a quick video for everyone to watch. For those that don't know beatmania THE FINAL was the last mix for all beatmania 5 key machines (I and III) and is the most sought after mix out there. It contains a ton of songs from previous beatmania games as well as some really good new songs. It added some new features to the game as well which were very welcomes additions (the counter for example). The songs I played are... COREDESAT / HARD 6 Super Highway / HARD 6 Jam & Marmalade / ANOTHER 8 Disabled The FLAW / HARD 7 Now my machine is amazing and I have been playing it every day :P All the machine needs now is a cap kit and matching marquee. Special thanks to everyone involved with getting this mix running!

I put this together to demonstrate Roland's RPS (Realtime Phrase Sequencing) integration into my current keyboard setup. In this video, Roland JP-8000 for bass and brass. Roland XP-60 for pads and RPS. The two phrases were preprogrammed and assigned to the lower two (unused) keys. You'll notice me changing patches between parts of the song. The phrases are staying in time with the internal sequencer clock that is inaudible. I programmed the drum sounds to sound like the EMU Drumulator and SImmons SDSV that Howard was using in 82-83. In addition, the backing sequence was recreated to sound like the Sequential Circuits Pro One that Howard also used around 82-83. So, hopefully you get an idea of what it looked like from behind the keyboard, except Howard had to lug around much more gear. Leave your comments. Would love to hear from you. I'll be playing my own songs in this format in the DFW area in 2009-2010. Look me up at a show.
