Description
Bagga Bownz "Earplugs in, seatbelts fastened and face straight forward. Prepare
for the most explosive Dutch band in years. Overwhelming like a
stampeding herd of elephants, compelling like a whirlpool. After having
impressive successes on the internet the band found its base back in
Europe. Their music ticks like an atomic bomb and shines like a diamond
with the scent of a fresh spring breeze. Overwhelming and explosive,
these are the primary keywords for Bagga Bownz" - Gerard van den IJssel
After 75,000 internetplays resulted in a # 35 position in
the US Billboard 'Hits of the web' charts, working closely with Mike McKnight (Madonna, Mariah Carey, U2), and 'a Dog's life' being nominated for best alternative song @ the prestigious JFK Awardshow in Santa Ana, CA,
USA, the first release of Bagga Bownz is expected in February 2007.
Bella Morte
Bella Morte's Micah Consylman wanted to be free to perform. If you are an energetic punk band, like Bella Morte, you do not want to be stuck behind a keyboard while your bandmates are whipping up the crowd.
Micah called us up and now he uses MIDIjet Pro with his AX-7 at the front of the stage.
"Our live show is one of the biggest contibutors to our growth as a band and MIDIjet Pro helps make that happen." Micah Consylman - Read his interview with Gearwire.com on using Reason and MIDIjet Pro here.

Michael Brecker
Michael Brecker was our first MIDIjet Pro user. According Wikipedia he "is probably the most respected and imitated jazz saxophonist of the post-Coltrane era. As of 2005, he has won 11 Grammys as both performer and composer".
Following a 2-year battle with MDS and Leukemia Michael passed away on January 13, 2007. This message from His family:
"Many lives have been saved as a result of those who joined
the National Marrow Donor Program at donor drives on behalf of Michael---and who were perfectly matching donors for others in
need. There is much work to do, and we ask you to please join us in this
effort. Thank you for all of your
support".
Bruce Cassidy Bruce Cassidy (short bio) is a Toronto-based composer, Trumpet/EVI player and musical director for David Clayton-Thomas. He engaged Classic MIDI Works to embed its MIDIjet Pro into his EVI, a MIDI wind controller designed and built by Nyle Steiner.
Pictures include Hotfoot Orchestra posters and a photo taken of Bruce Cassidy playing his EVI with MIDIjet Pro during a live recording with David Clayton-Thomas at the Opera House in Toronto on October 26th 2005.
Dragonforce - Herman Li and Vadim Pruzhanov Dragonforce is one of the highest energy bands alive. When bandmembers are as mobile as Vadim Pruzhanov and Herman Li are, cables are not an option. See it!
They also have to be extremely reliable. So whether the venue is a club with 1500 people or a tourdate with Ozzfest, it has to work.
Herman uses MIDIjet Pro to eliminate cross-stage cables for his switching equipment. Vadim uses his MIDIjet Pro with his AX-7 anywhere he wants!
In his own words - "MIDIjet Pro is a reliable tool that helps me taking things to the
extreme". - Vadim
Funkiphino Funkiphino's new CD, Rise Above, is an incredible album
featuring 12 brand new songs. The band has teamed up with
Grammy-winning producer Matt Sandoski of Airshow Mastering, and Tower
of Power arranger Dave Eskridge, who has created fantastic horn
arrangements.
Guest artists appearing on the CD include Francis "Rocco" Prestia and Doc Kupka of Tower of Power, Jennifer Batten, former guitarist for Michael Jackson, Hazel Miller, members of Yo Flaco, Soul School and The San Francisco Symphony!
Mechanical Soul Mechanical Soul's Sam Zambito has one of the coolest shows around; and I do mean "around". Imagine a show where the entire band wanders through the crowd while playing. You really have to see it

Paradise Theatre - the Ultmate Styx Tribute "I use the MIDIJet Pro with my Roland AX-7, and it has added a whole new level
to our live performance. It gives me the freedom to get out from behind my
keyboards, and run all around the stage..even out into the audience, and I never
have to worry about signal loss. The audience response, since I added the
MIDIJet Pro into our show, has been phenominal! The MIDIJet Pro is an essential
part of my keyboard arsenal now. - Brett Minkin (Keyboardist, Paradise Theatre-
The Ultimate Styx Tribute)

Zelfish Perez - Igor Guezz Columbian rock band Zelfish Perez uses MIDIjet Pro with a Roland AX7. Band member Igor Guezz writes: "I bought a MIDIjet Pro 6 months ago. And I'm just writing to tell you that this thing has totally changed my life!!! I love this thing!!! I used it for the first time last weekend on Rock al Parque XI the largest free rock festival in South America, and it totally lived to the challenge of a huge stage. I played with my Roland AX7 and was able to run all over the place with flawless performance." Photo from Rock al Parque website.
