Some former employees of Roland Europe who have formed a company Dexibell introduce an innovative digital piano with arranger capabilities and an IOS arranger app. From what I read on an Italian forum, the arranger function utilizes audio accompaniment much like the BIAB Real Tracks but in realtime.

They will have a booth at NAMM in Jan. I used to attend it every year, but stopped going there in the last two years. i wonder if any member attends Winter NAMM.

I could not find much information on this XMURE app. But this would indeed get my attention, should it be Windows available too.

And some more are advancing beyound what the rest of this world currently does.. This is another example of italian design...


Italian designs is something great, as long as its not produced in italy..

The company says that Apple already approved the app for the IOS devices. I checked through my IOS tablet but it's not available yet. I hope the company makes it available for various OS platforms.

Often these days espescially in the music buiseness companies choose to only release on IoS devices, because of piracy on android and windows devices..

IoS is top knotch when it comes to piracy protection of their 3rd party software..

By now, everyone thats serious about music must realise that IoS is the way to go anyway.. Unless you want a whole studio of VST´s and a DAW..

This looks very interesting especially the app.

The sound cloud samples are very good. Wonder how long it will be before it will be available.

I'll be there

I sent you an email Frank.

LOL! I just shared that with my Italian dealer/teacher/professional Jazz organ/accordionist. He bust into laughter. I think we agree with you.

A long time ago the dealer told me about the Roland G70 out of Italy and how it was a disaster. His late technician who was a fine organist himself took digital samples of every patch of the G70 and sent them to Roland proving that they were all in mono. I heard that the Japanese technicians got involved and the following year I saw the 2nd version of G70 at NAMM.
