I like making music on the DS using Jam Sessions(see my review)and other homebrew drum kits. This synthesizer looks fantastic, see the video below for a demo. Korg DS-10 was shown at Musikmesse the international trade fair for musical instruments, music software and computer hardware, sheet music and accessories in Frankfurt this week. It is based on the 1978 vintage Korg MS-10 (pictured below) but the sounds are far from vintage. Listen here: www.mediafire.com/ (4.9 meg mp3) Below:Vintage MS-10 The Korg DS-10 is easy to control using the stylus and can be enjoyed by novices and professionals alike. At this stage the distributer AQ Interactive, inc will only be releasing this in Japan in July. You may have to check out www.play-asia.com to get your copy. The wireless interactivity between multiple DS's sounds very interesting. I guess it will help to keep the beat between all the devices. Features - 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
