Edirol presents the new V-8

V-4 has been the VJs best friend. I speak for myself, as it was my first hardware investment about 5 years ago. And it paid itself many many times with all the gigs I did. It never failed on me, it droped several times and never got cranked.

Now Roland comes up with V-8! A few new effects, more input channels (why VGA, man?), but still no audio input for total synch (I'm recalling the transformed V-4 mixing table from Addictive TV).

After a long wait, nothing really new came up. BNC inputs are ok, and so are the A/B faders (buttons are out), but what about HD mixing? I need to try it out to see if the image really got a new quality kick. Does anybody know the price?
