"KORG DS-10

The KORG DS-10 is a music-creation software for the Nintendo DS that combines the superior interface of the Nintendo DS and the design concept of the famous MS-10 synthesizer.

The sound sources in the KORG DS-10 come from KORG - one of the world's top musical instrument producers - and no effort was spared in creating these ultra-high-quality sounds. The Nintendo DS's dual-screen touch panel is used to the fullest to provide a feel and operability that is unsurpassed, and combined with the sensory input mode at the touch-control screen, this unit can be appreciated by the complete novice as well as the seasoned professional.

In addition to the two analog synth simulators and drum module, a 6-track/16-step sequencer enables precise control and provides a wide range of musical possibilities. Several units can be connected and played together through a wireless link, and this and other features make the Nintendo DS and KORG DS-10 almost limitless in their application - they can take you places that no single synthesizer can.

The KORG DS-10 will introduce “stylus music” to the world at the International Musikmesse Frankfurt (Germany).

  3. I'm pretty sure i'm going to have to buy this.

    It's cheap and runs on one of my favorite devices.

    One has to wonder what the ipod touch / iphone devices will bring in terms of portable music software.

  6. Yep... There is this. Be sure to check out PSPRhythm in the set of posts. It requires you unlock your PSP, but I've heard good things about it. I haven't unlocked mine yet.

  7. Oh, the one thing the DS has is the stylus. I was going to get one for Elektroplanton, but still held off. When I get a copy of the DS10 I will be getting a DS, hands down, so to speak.
