The Beamz Professional is a musical instrument with six lasers that plugs into Windows computers through a USB port. When you hold your hand in front of one of the laser beams, a musical note is triggered and played by the computer. It isn't difficult to start playing, whether you're an experienced musician or if you've never played an instrument before. You can play solo and compose music, or jam out with other musicians.
The included software features a number of original and hit songs that you can play with The Beamz. You can play the song as it was originally intended, or create a live remix. All of the music you create with The Beamz can easily be recorded and played back with the included software. You can even share your recordings with friends. More original and hit songs are available for download from thebeamz.com website.
The Beamz Professional also includes Studio Software (Windows) which enables you to create your own custom music clips and effects.

The Beamz Studio Software is the exact software used to create these factory presets; thereby enabling users to create custom music presets by implementing your own, MP3, WAVE and MIDI files.

Comments about The Beamz Professional - Laser Beam Musical Instrument & Studio Software:
About 1 in 10 work. Constant software issues. Platform issues.... I know someone who worked for the Co. and they said the product is a joke. If I could give a 0 I would.
