While Roland continues to provide creators, musicians, and music-lovers of all levels high-quality audio and electronic instrument innovations across many categories, the brand is excited to forge its expertise across
additional multimedia verticals, such as gaming. Roland’s CES 2023 innovations include:

BRIDGE CAST Dual Bus Gaming Mixer

The Roland BRIDGE CAST is a professional USB-C audio streaming interface and mixer for online gamers. Named a CES® 2023 Innovation Awards Honoree, BRIDGE CAST takes gaming sound to the next level, backed by 50 years of Roland audio development. This customizable desktop hub features dual mixes, vocal transformer effects, music playback, sound effects, and support for a broadcast-grade XLR mic. Powerful onboard DSP handles the audio load, letting the user dedicate their computer’s power to gaming and streaming. BRIDGE CAST allows gamers to create independent sound mixes for personal monitoring and online streaming. The personal mix can prioritize game audio and voice chat, while the stream mix can be optimized for maximum viewer engagement using sound effects, backing music, and more. The companion BRIDGE CAST app unlocks deeper features, including mic and audio processing, voice transformer settings, Game EQ presets, and more. It’s also possible to re-assign hardware controls and save/recall configurations for different games and streaming audiences.

TD-02 Drum Series

The RolandTD-02K and TD02KV V-Drums kits provide a premium musical experience for first- time drummers, practicing students, and adults looking to start playing drums again. The kits are based around the TD-02 module, which includes 16 ready-to-play kits and onboard Coach functions to help build and maintain skills. Drummers can use headphones for quiet home playing sessions and connect a smartphone to play along with favorite songs. An optional Bluetooth adaptor adds wireless capabilities for streaming music from mobile devices and communicating with MIDI production apps. The TD-02K and TD-02KV offer a full array of drum and cymbal pads with sensitive playing surfaces to develop proper techniques. The upgraded TD-02KV kit includes a Roland mesh-head snare pad with a natural acoustic stick feel and rebound. The hi-hat and kick trigger pedals in both kits feature noise-reducing designs to minimize sound transfer in living spaces.

Roland is also excited to share their involvement in the Clem Burke Drumming Project. Inspired by the drumming of legendary Blondie artist Clem Burke, scientists have explored the physical demands of “live” drumming and uncovered health benefits. Results found that drummers can exert the same level of energy during a concert as a professional soccer player in a 90-minute match. Groundbreaking cognitive benefits were discovered as well. To learn more about these scientific discoveries, please visit Roland at CES to watch a video on project. Additional project details are forthcoming ahead of CES in the press kit linked here.

ROLAND 50TH ANNIVERSARY CONCEPT PIANO

For decades, Roland has pursued the most promising electronic technologies to reinvent the acoustic piano playing experience and to honor the instrument’s beautiful sounds and history. With unique innovations and structural changes, Roland’s 50th Anniversary Concept Piano paves the way for instruments of the future. Offering improved sound quality, advanced connectivity, and stunning finishes, this 50th anniversary piano, equipped with Roland’s latest sound system and tones alongside Roland’s most legendary piano sounds and expression, also features a keyboard touch more natural and responsive than ever before. Its one-piece molded wooden body, designed in collaboration with Japanese furniture maker Karimoku, was inspired by the fusion of the past and future, while its exterior, comprised of Japanese oak wood, provides deep piano tones from its
speakers. More than a beautiful design, the 50th Anniversary Concept Piano aims to fill a gap in the industry. In the age of digital pianos, many find rich sound quality is sacrificed for innovation. Roland’s concept piano offers a 360-degree speaker system, which is able to send sound in any direction through its 14 adjustable speakers placed strategically throughout. Among these speakers are two drones, the first of their kind, which float above the piano for an enhanced sound quality and eye-catching experience. By operating on a low latency dedicated communication channel, the drones allow players to control their positioning as they play. Through these unique structural advancements, this concept piano is able to provide the sound quality of classic instruments, all while maintaining the modern enhancements of Roland technology.

ARROW Unveils January 2023 Lineup

Arrow Video is excited to announce the January 2023 lineup of their new subscription-based ARROW platform, available to subscribers in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland.

In January ARROW are proud to bring to subscribers the Lukas Moodysson Collection. Ever since his debut he was heralded as “a young master’s first masterpiece” by Ingmar Bergman, Moodysson has been hailed internationally as one of Sweden’s greatest filmmaking talents, delighting and confounding audiences in equal measure. The Lukas Moodysson Collection includes his debut feature, F*cking Amal (released overseas as Show Me Love), heralded as a new queer cinema touchstone and one of the most authentic portrayals of youthful relationships on film; the bittersweet, satirical 1970s-set Together, in which the inhabitants of a commune try to reconcile their ideals with their hearts’ desires; the hauntingly bleak Lilya 4-ever, based on a real-life case of a Russian girl sold into sex trafficking in Sweden; the abrasive and semi-improvised A Hole in My Heart, detailing the messy (un)making of an amateur porn video; and the avant-garde Container, narrated in its English version by Jena Malone (Donnie Darko); his mainstream English-language debut with the expansive Mammoth, starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Michelle Williams; and We Are The Best!, the charming and funny tale of three schoolgirls starting a punk band in early-1980s Stockholm.

Moodysson’s eclectic filmography can now be appreciated as the work of a singular filmmaking voice, as avowedly uncompromising and unabashedly political as it is keenly observed, deeply felt and frequently hilarious – and you can see them all, together for the first time, on ARROW.

On January 6, ARROW kicks off the year with the favorites of an American filmmaker, comic writer and producer with Adam Egypt Mortimer Selects (UK/US/CA/IRE). Mortimer is the writer-director of SpectreVision’s Daniel Isn’t Real and Archenemy.

Also available January 13 are a pair of Hong Kong martial arts films from director Huang Feng and 70s action icon Angela Mao: Lady Whirlwind and Lady Kung Fu (both US/CA).
January 13 caps off with a smorgasbord Season of Ravenous Cannibals (UK/US/CA/IRE). It looks like meat’s back on the menu! Fasten your napkin securely around your neck, sharpen your carving knife and take a nice big juicy bite out of this collection of cannibalistic flicks sure to fill any tummies rumbling for gore, savagery and man-eating mayhem!

Titles Include: Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death, Trapped Alive, Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood.

On January 20, ARROW celebrates breakout directorial debuts with The First Time (UK/US/CA/IRE). You never forget the first time, and you’ll never forget these first films from a host of legendary, cult and breakthrough directors.

Lastly, North American subscribers can enjoy Bad Moon and Screamers.

The final Season of the month lands January 27: The Lukas Moodysson Collection (UK/IRE/US/CA). Available together for the first time, Moodysson’s eclectic filmography can now be appreciated as the work of a singular filmmaking voice, as avowedly uncompromising and unabashedly political as it is keenly observed, deeply felt and frequently hilarious.

Witchfire to Utilize NVIDIA DLSS3 Features and Gameplay Reveal

The Astronauts announced today they are bringing NVIDIA DLSS3 technology to Witchfire, the Polish studio’s upcoming rogue-lite shooter. The Astronauts also released a new gameplay trailer showcasing Witchfire’s rapid gunplay and new open-level design (not to be confused with fully open-world gameplay).

Adrian Chmielarz, Creative Director and Co-Founder of The Astronauts explains his perspective on how the DLSS 3 technology will affect Witchfire development:

“You start the game, push all graphics options to the max. You enjoy it for a while but then, especially if it’s an action game, you realize that the framerate is king. So you start lowering the quality of visuals in order to achieve that smooth gameplay. DLSS 3 allows the seemingly impossible, high framerate without compromising the visuals. A no brainer for a game like Witchfire, which is both action and beauty.”

NVIDIA DLSS 3 is a revolutionary breakthrough in neural graphics that massively boosts performance. Powered by fourth generation Tensor Cores and new Optical Flow Accelerator on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, DLSS 3 uses AI to generate additional high-quality frames with great image quality and responsiveness.

From the creators of Painkiller and Bulletstorm, Witchfire is a first-person shooter set in a grimdark fantasy world in which a deadly war rages between powerful witches and the Church. In this alternate reality, witches are very real and very dangerous— but so is the witch hunter. Armed by Vatican sorcerers, players wield an ungodly array of guns and forbidden magic as they combat dark terrors on behalf of their shadowy benefactors.

After shifting development from arena-style fighting to open-level combat, Witchfire is on track for a release to Early Access this year. For further details on an Early Access release date and upcoming Witchfire news, follow the team on Facebook, join the conversation on Twitter, or wishlist the game on the Epic Games Store.

Guntech 2 Out Now on Nintendo Switch

2023: Veteran game developer Jani Penttinen is proud to announce the worldwide release of Guntech 2 to the Nintendo® Switch digital stores featuring old-school classic shooter fun in a fast, frantic, and action-packed gameplay experience inspired by famous titles such as Thrust™, Oids™, Geometry Wars™, and Asteroids™.

Its retro-style twin-stick controls, amazing graphics, smooth gameplay, and phenomenal audio offers players the ultimate blast from the past on a modern system.

Guntech 2 challenges you to beat levels of hardcore action with epic boss battles at the end! You play using the Left Stick to steer and thrust your ship and the Right Stick to control the railgun. Your craft has a total of three different weapons. The L Button and R Button fire the two additional, more powerful weapons, which always fire in the direction of your ship’s nose. This allows you to shoot in any direction using the railgun, with extra firepower when you position your ship toward the enemy. There are 20 different weapons included in the game, and the weapons have different characteristics, and it’s up to you to figure out which works best for your playing style and any level. You can acquire new weapons between levels, but you can switch freely between the owned weapons during the gameplay.

Guntech 2 offers five distinct worlds to beat: Tutorial, Virus, The Dark Worlds, Space Jungle, and Cargo Hauler. Each world has eight levels plus a boss level at the end. Additionally, there are seasonal levels that are funny and silly little missions themed for seasons like Christmas and Halloween. You have a fresh set of lives for each level. Each level has three different goals. The first is mandatory for passing the levels and will earn you one star. The other level goals will earn you additional stars, and you can try to clear all levels to 3-star results.
