Korg DS-10 brings the DS to a new group of nerds

Call your Jam Sessions virtuoso friend (and, we suppose, your Hannah Montana Music Jam drummer). You'll finally be able to start that DS-only Electric Light Orchestra cover band you've been talking about, thanks to AQ Interactive and Korg.
Korg has created a DS version of their MS-10 synthesizer with some features that not even the original has. You can create music via a keyboard interface, a free-form touch-screen panel, or a "matrix" interface (fill in squares to make notes). It's certainly a lot smaller than the real thing, while also providing the authentic "a bunch of knobs and stuff we don't know how to use" experience.
AQ Interactive will release the DS-10 in Japan for 4,800 yen ($47) this July.

it looks corny, but hey, i'm a music junkie and i'll try anything out at least once.

Wow, looks awesome! I want it now actually.. Can't wait, the DS is really a good device for stuff like this. I hope more soft synths and sequencers will be made.. Ofcourse, there are already free homebrew sequencers available, but this seems really in-depth and no samples or anything needed, everything in the cardridge..

That looks really cool, kinda like a mini-version of FLStudio. Wonder if there will be any kind of export features?

I'm glad there's an English language product page. Gives me hope there will be a US release.

While I like NitroTracker, this will make me carry my DS around everywhere again.

LMAO, this is perfect! I do music production so this will be a welcome addition. I wonder if there are export capabilities though?
