ArKaos is looking for people to beta test its new VJ software, GrandVJ.

We’re extremely glad to offer you the first public beta version of GrandVJ.

This version is a demo version that doesn’t allow saving and has a splash screen here and there in the output.

There’s a very quick description PDF included in the installer.
