The new Beamz Player is the perfect gift for the entire family at only $199.95. This is no ordinary toy, instrument, game or gadget. The Beamz Player provides an extraordinary music-making experience. Using laser beam technology, the Beamz
connects to your PC via a USB hub and allows you to begin making music
without having to know how to read music. It features a sleek,
smaller-footprint design with four laser beams that trigger up to 12
different instruments, music clips, sound effects, or vocals as you pass
your hands through the beams.
For the teens and tweens who love their iPod and GuitarHero, the Beamz Player is a whole new way to immerse yourself in music. The Beamz Player features a music library of songs to add to the 50 songs that
come with the system. This library encompasses music that appeals to all
ages and includes three types of interactive songs: original songs,
top-hit jam songs, and video jam songs.
The Beamz Player is now being sold at FAO Schwarz, selected Brookstone locations, and Amazon.com
.

I’ll admit
that although I saw the Beamz Player being used on YouTube, I was somewhat
skeptical. However, once I received the product in the mail and had an
opportunity to experience it firsthand I became a fan and believer. The Beamz Player is a
unique one-of-a-kind instrument.
Clearly, the
Beamz Player is much more than a musical instrument; it incorporates a large
number of sounds and instruments into one device. Be able to use such a variety of instruments
and sounds to create beats and rhythms is something spectacular. The song list is quite large and offers a
large variety of genres and choices for any age.
The option
to use your hands to make music by crossing the 4 different laser beams versus
learning how to play each specific instrument is distinctive and extraordinary. There is always the option to create and
record your own music. For that person
who isn’t musically inclined I found using the beat count provided with the
song selected allows the novice to reach mastery of playing music. The Beamz Player did a great job bringing out
the hidden musician within me.
The Beamz song library encompasses music to appeal to all ages and includes three types of interactive songs:
Beamz Original songs - http://thebeamz.com/shop/
These are original songs created by Beamz composers with contributions from independent artists. These
are great songs for users to explore a wide range of music genres and
hundreds of different instruments and sound effects within these
original works. These songs provide users ultimate creative expression opportunities.
Beamz “Top-Hit” Jam songs - http://thebeamz.com/shop/
These
are interactive versions of popular songs composed in the style of the
original artist. Songs include rock classics, party favorites and recent
top-hits (e.g. Coldplay, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Michael Jackson, The
Eagles, The Beatles, The Black Eyed Peas, etc). Interacting
with these songs is like being the band and playing your own version of
the popular song based on how you choose to play the laser beams within
each song.
Beamz Video Jam songs - http://thebeamz.com/shop/
These
are interactive versions of popular songs using the original artist
recording and music video (e.g. Alpha Rev, Aly & AJ, Billy Idol,
Blind Melon, Moby, etc). Interacting
with these songs is like “joining the band” – playing along with the
original song and adding harmonious instruments and sound effects into
the playback of the music video. Disney and EMI are license partners with Beamz
Interactive, and the company is in dialogue to expand its video jam
song library with artists from other leading music industry publishers.
The Beamz Player is perfect for this holiday season! You and your family will have hours of fun and enjoyment with this product!
