Korg DS-10 Synthesizer & Sequencer Software For Nintendo DS – Awesome, Pitched At Kraftwerk Wannabes [Video]

A week or so ago we featured Moo Cow Music's iPhone/iTouch Drum Machine
Software which, whilst very cool, is not quite as awesomely cool as this
Korg approved DS-10 Synthesizer/Sequencer Software developed for
Nintendo's DS by AQ Interactive which will have you developing Kaftwerk
inspired melodies in next to no time (whilst you stand there with the
obligatory expressionless face looking wholly nonplussed).

Inspired by Korg's classic analogue synthesizer, AQ Interactive's Korg
approved DS-10 synthesizer for Nintendo's DS transforms your DS into a
pocket sized, fully featured, touch screen controlled synthesizer,
sequencer and drum machine offering two patchable virtual synths with
two oscillators each, a four part drum machine and a sequencer offering
two synth tracks and four drum machine tracks.

Succumbing to incontrollable bouts of salivation yet? We are, but just
in case you've not quite taken it all on board, lets run through that again.

Korg DS-10 Synthesizer & Sequencer Software For Nintendo DS Features:

World’s first music tool software created for the Nintendo DS
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

This truly awesome software is due to become available some time in July
'08 and will retail for around เธขเธ…4800 - which is approximately $48 /
pound sterling23 / เน�๏ฟฝเธ�30 at the time of writing - and, whilst by no
means on par with the likes of Tonium's Pacemaker (which is in an
altogether differing league in terms of capabilities and pricing) in
terms of offering highly portable music making capabilities with a
gorgeously retro feel is so obscenely desirable that it really ought not
to be legal (and has got me breaking out my Kraftwerk back catalogue as
I write this).
