Amazon.com Product Description:
Whether you are just looking for fun on the run, or a way to work out your next hit song, the KORG DS-10 Synthesizer for Nintendo DS could be your newest best companion. The DS-10 combines the superior interface of the Nintendo DS with the design concept of the famous KORG MS-10 synthesizer to bring you portable music-creation software without rival.



KORG DS-10 Synthesizer brings portable music creation to the Nintendo DS.


Various sound textures are made possible by implementing the two VCO's, three filter types, and more.


Notes that you perform can be recorded in the sequencer, allowing for further editing.
A Professional-Grade Synthesizer in the Palm of Your Hand
The ultra high-quality sound sources for the DS-10 come from KORG, maker of some of the world's finest musical instruments. Korg spared no effort in creating this ultra-portable yet powerful and easy-to-use music software with tons of the latest features-- and all with the unique accessibility of the Nintendo DS touch screen.

The KORG DS-10 Synthesizer gives you the choice of sculpting your own unique sounds with expansive on-screen controls, or starting from a preset template. With two dual oscillator synth parts and four synth/drum parts, users can create synth and drum lines using the on-screen touch keyboard and drum pads, or engage the elegant six-track, 16-step sequencer.

With powerful features such as KORG's KAOSS technology, users can add custom modulations in real-time, tighten the mix with a full-featured mixer, polish their grooves with multiple effects, and create complete songs that they can save on the spot.

The DS-10 features a chorus, flanger, and delay parameter that can be applied individually to each synth or the drum machine, either individually or as a whole. In addition, each of the editable drum sounds can have a separate effect added to it. Various sound textures are made possible by implementing the two VCO's, three filter types, and more, while notes can be recorded in the sequencer, allowing for further editing. This broad functionality, combined with patching functionality, makes the DS-10 suited to even the most avid sound designers.

Intuitive and Easy Use
The sounds made by each of the two analogue synthesizer emulators are modified using virtual knobs, and users can patch particular parameters for further modification. The user interface is mainly through the DS's touch screen. Notes can be played using a two-octave keyboard, or through an interface that detects the X and Y position of the stylus on the touch pad, simulating a KORG KAOSS Pad.

The Nintendo DS's dual-screen touch panel is used to the fullest to provide a feel and operability that is unsurpassed. Although there are many expert-level features available with synthesizer, the DS-10 can be appreciated by the complete novice as well as the seasoned professional.

Music Without Limits
The KORG DS-10 Synthesizer offers two types of wireless play in Multi-player and Data Exchange modes. Up to eight separate Nintendo DS players can connect via a wireless link to perform as an ensemble. Each DS-10 synthesizer can be played as its own independent instrument, or they can be assigned a part to create a band, allowing for virtually limitless applications.

What's more, users who have created new riffs, tunes, or complete songs can exchange their session data with other KORG DS-10 users. It is even possible to send session data in advance to your friends, so you can all play to the same tune. Not only does the DS-10 bring stylus music to the world for the first time, but this robust connectivity allows for performances and compositions that simply aren't possible on a single Nintendo DS.




The keyboard and KAOSS pad can be played directly with a stylus.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Analog magic in a digital age
Okay,
I am a synthesizer FIEND! I was the lab instructor at a local college synth/em class for five years in the seventies (teaching on the arp 2600, oberheim, moog, buchla and yamaha machines) I am no keyboard wizard, but if you want to talk overtones, subtractive v fm or other synth theory and accoustics I am in. I have owned dozens of synths over the years (just gave away a lot of them to a local school) but I heard about this and ordered one. Before synthesizers were widely available I would take an AM radio and record sideband interference from other electronic devices. (later I did the same thing with a hand held humbucker) and then manipulated the tape.

This is the best bang for buck in the entire history of electronic music!

The DS10 is FREAKIN AWESOME!

How awesome? You can select from many scales on the KAOSS pad, you can tune every drumbeat and produce distinctly techno sounds. The two synths are very VERY close to the real thing.

So I took my DS10, my gakken sx150, my korg pandora, my little mixer, a stylophone, and a casio vl-tone and i have a tabletop EM band. Midget Synth! Doll HOUSE music!

Dear DS Developers, more more MORE!

Give me a long run sequencer with wifi output control through my mac to other devices and local simple voices for programming.

Give me a pro level drum machine

Give me a mini moog.

I will buy extra nintendo boxes just to run them all

how about a small wifi programming device for ds based synths

the sound is totally awesome---look at it on a scope
it's shiny.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just a small taste of what's possible, but a very good one.
I'll be brief-- this is fun, easy, but has a LOT of depth. The korg ds-10 is basically a full emulation of the MS-10 synth. As much fun as it is, (and it IS) this is just the tip of the iceberg of what music production is. It is a great way to introduce musically talented kids into the art of making their own stuff.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pretty awsome little package Korg has made
An awesome product that delivers whats advertised without disappointment. The instruments are close to high-end synths - they are programmable/patchable and customizable to a certain degree, and have a diverse set of presets, and space to save your own presets. I'd say that an incredibly accurate description of this software is Propellerhead's ReBirth (functionality) and FruityLoops (UI) tossed into a compactor and compressed together into a DS cartridge. It's also got a phrase system that works like a customizable Kaossilator that gives an incredible amount of added control to the sound effects.

My only real beef with the software is that you can't layer multiple patterns at the same time in the sequencer - leaving the editing close to how you would create simple tracker tunes.

DS-10 is probably the only title on the DS, swimming through a sea of games and educational titles, that functions as an industry tool.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - korg ds10 for nintendo
Best little synth on the planet!!!!!!!!This keeps up to the big boys for all basic musical needs and then some.The synth engines are dead on and perform flawlessly A great armchair companion.Couple this up with a Korg Kaoss pad and you can take your production to print.Thanks to all that made this possible including Amazon.com for making it so easy to get Stan


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Analogue Synth Heaven!
I've been playing keyboards professionally for almost 20 years and this is one of the coolest synth programs ever made. It is not a game but a full blown analog synth for your DS. Sound is absolutely amazing! Create a track with drums bass and synth lines anywhere, anytime. Absolutely amazing, the only reason I bought a DS is because of this program. Anyone who is a fan of synthesizers, BUY THIS NOW! You will have a blast! The touch screen can be used as a real time controller for modulation or pressing drum pads or keys. So cool. So very cool.
