DScratch lets you DJ on your DS

One of the many reasons that we love the DS is because it does pretty much everything. Not only can you play games to your little heart's content, but you can also use your DS to call people, store data, and slap bitches.* Noticeably, however, the DS was in need of a killer music app. That is, until now.

DScratch appears to be the next best homebrew on the market, giving you the opportunity to experiment with audio manipulation on your DS. The app comes with the following features:

load .wav file or live-recorded audio
scratch
pitch control
FX "Retrig"
Midi OUT (wireless)
stylus control
NDSMotion control

Wondering how it all works? Well then, watch the video that we've ever-so-kindly embedded for you up top. If you feel so inclined, you can download this homebrew for free here, but first take note of the issues with the program (like its incompatibility with R4). Also, since this app is only in its alpha stage, you might want to wait until the bugs and kinks are worked out before adding this to the repertoire of your DS. Unless you're into bugs and kinks ... in which case, who are we to judge?

*DS Fanboy does not advocate the slapping of bitches in real-life scenarios.
