EDIROL has announced a new visual performance package. Designed in collaboration with Digitalstage, the EDIROL motion dive .tokyo performance package is the combination of Digitalstage's motion dive .tokyo software and a specially designed console, the MD-P1.

motion dive .tokyo software uses a DJ-style interface that allows for the mixing of two visual sources with a DJ-style crossfader, switches, and effects.

EDIROL has created a USB-powered console specifically for motion dive .tokyo. The MD-P1 console duplicates the software interface of motion dive and adds the benefit of being able to manipulate multiple parameters at the same time. The MD-P1 console was conceived for use with notebook computers, with side placement of connectors and a small portable design.

The MD-P1 console also features a MIDI input port for connection of V-LINK compatible Roland instruments and workstations as well as EDIROL controllers. By activating the V-LINK function on the instrument, pre-programmed settings are called up for integration with motion dive .tokyo, giving the musician control of visuals from his or her music instrument.

The motion dive .tokyo performance package will be available in the fourth quarter of 2005 and has a suggested retail price of $575.
