Miselu to Showcase its Net-Enabled Social Music Device “Neiro” Featuring Yamaha Technology at SXSW 2012

Mountain View, CA — March 8, 2012 — Miselu, a Silicon Valley startup designing innovative musical solutions, announced today that early samples of the upcoming Miselu “neiro“ device will be shown at this year’s SXSW in Austin, Texas and that it features technology from Yamaha.

The Miselu “neiro” is a portable, net-enabled social music device with a musical keyboard and a wide multi-touch display, and a variety of musical apps and cloud services. This Android-based mobile companion invites users to perform, create, learn, discover and share — from anyplace they go. Social is integral to the Miselu “neiro” and permeates through all applications. The open platform environment will also enable developers and users to build their own custom apps and solutions.

Yamaha is providing the upcoming “neiro” with the Yamaha AudioEngine (TM) Series Sound Chip NSX-1. This powerful synthesizer engine delivers a quality that almost matches the sound of real musical instruments. The DSP chip offers a larger variety of sound effects such as reverb, chorus and EQs that create a rich sound experience.

“The capabilities of the NSX-1 will make our device even more exceptional and give its users endless possibilities in music performance and creation,” said Miselu CEO Yoshinari Yoshikawa. “Overall, we are extremely excited to be part of SXSW this year. It is the perfect event to show the prototype of ‘neiro’ for the first time.”

Miselu will be showcasing its upcoming product and related software solutions at SXSW 2012. From March 9th to 13th the team can be met at the SoundCloud Open House one block away from the Convention Center at 501 E 6th Street and from March 14th to 17th at Music Gear Expo (booth #304) in the Austin Convention Center.
