I tried playing with Sony's funny music player "Rolly"

The other dayWe delivered a photo review, Sound entertainment player that moves according to the music Sony announced on September 10 (Monday) "RollyI actually played with.

This time, Rolly will deliver the movie that reads the air and moves finely.

Details are as follows.
First of all, I will setup "Rolly" software.


Choose the installation location.


Installing. Sony's original music management software "SonicStage", "Motion Editor" which can customize Rolly's movement, "Rolly Launcher" easy to access are installed. If an older version of "SonicStage" is included, it will be uninstalled automatically. Rebooting is necessary after installation.


I started "Rolly Launcher".


First of all I started "SonicStage" to capture music.


I transferred my songs from my library.


Next, start "Motion Editor".


Let's add motion to the song I transferred earlier. Right-click on the song and select "Auto Auto Motion", it automatically analyzes the song and adds motion.


Click "Yes".


Analysis in progress. The time required for analysis is small.


Automatically attached motion is like this. It is also possible to customize this further yourself.


When you play the song at this time, it simulates how Rolly moves to the left side of the screen.


Let's actually use Rolly.

Adjust the volume only by turning one wheel.


Just move the song back and forth back and forth. It is a fairly intuitive interface.

Then I will play the song.


This is a song with vocals. Both songs are GIGAZINE original.


Although I used impressions, I was surprised to show a more light movement than I thought. By using the loudspeaker lid in accordance with the song, you will be able to make use of small techniques such as changing the way of echoing the sound, so that not only the eyes but also the ears will entertain us. Also, the sound quality is good for small speakers, and the volume you were worried about is enough. it's amazing.

Although I was receiving the impression that it was an audio player against the iPod at the beginning when it was announced, when I tried using it, "Sony had sold once"AIBOI got the impression that is close to. By the way, considering the shape of Rolly and the mechanism of lid of the speaker, a small spherical robot that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam "Halo"I thought that it might be interesting if I tried to make a model crossed my head.
