Korg: Singularity in the DS
Esteemed ninjamen,
In keeping with my love of dual-screen nintendo goodness, I would bring your attention to Korg’s upcoming DS title DS-10, a real-life music synthesizer and production tool. Now, the dedicated robotninja reader might say, “wait a minutaster ninja: didn’t you once poo-poo portable videogames focused on music production as offensive to your countenance?”
To this fictionalized reader, I would retort that unlike lesser music production software for your PSP’s and such, DS-10 is designed to be used by seasoned, pro-level users, without the silly accessible traits found in Traxxpad and the like. Instead, it is a dual-oscillator synth with a sixteen step sequencer, for drum sounds and synth patterns. All content is user generated, and is therefore up to par with my unreasonably high robotninja standards. Some of the features include:
+Two patchable dual-oscillator analog synth simulators
+Four-part drum machine that uses sounds created with the analog synth simulator
+Six-track (analog synth x 2, drum machine x 4) /16-step sequencer
+Delay, chorus, and flanger sound effects available from the mixing board
+Three note-entry modes: touch-control screen, keyboard screen, matrix screen
+Real-time sound control mode via touch-control screen
+Exchange sounds and songs and play multiple units simultaneously through a wireless communications link
It’s enough to get any DS nerd/audio enthusiast to drooling–if only it came out before July…

Hmm, can the Nintendo DS drive good headphones? If so, I’ll cop one just in anticipation of this, a portable analog music workstation, that’s pen driven no less (someone finally realized that music stylus = dope). Sounds tight.
Any idea on the price point?
