Here's a little bit of info many may not be familiar with. The man behind the newly released iYM2151 (iTunes link) is the same man behind the Korg DS-10, DS-10+, and M01 for the Nintendo DS systems. He is also the supervisor for the KORG iMS-20. His name is Nobuyoshi Sano. The following is some info he shared with me over email, posted here with permission.
"When I was 14 years old I bought KORG MS-10 because I knew my favorite artist Yellow Magic Orchestra used instruments called 'synthesizer'.Then I enjoyed making music with MS-10 and my friend's JUNO-6, TR 606 and so on…
I loved video game like Xevious, Gaplus, Tower of druaga as well so i joined Namco ( Japanese video game company) as a sound designer after graduating from college.
I made a lot of sound effects and music for a lot of video games like 'Ridge Racer' and 'Tekken'.
In 2008, I produced KORG DS-10 for NDS when I used to work for Cavia, video game developer (actually my boss ordered me to make music 'game' but i made just a synthesizer not game... ) Then I set up DETUNE and i made some synth apps as above…"
