Korg has developed this product with the goal that a DJ could take it to any dance club and do just about anything that he could do with a real synthesizer. On the other hand, there are some tools for the electronic composer, too. You can save up to eighteen songs, each one containing up to sixteen patterns with very long loops, so that adds up to hours of your own unique creations. The tools are designed to be easy to use with the DS touch screen but offer essentially the same depth of control as real synthesizer hardware. There's a sequencer, keyboard, KAOSS pad, and a drum machine with pads you can tap with the stylus. You can even patch the components into a customized rig by dragging the cables on the touch screen.
We've seen no indication that Korg DS-10 will teach you how to create music or how to get the most out of its impressive feature set. This is an advanced tool geared towards users who are already familiar with the real hardware. The combination of portability and drastically lower price will likely make the Korg DS-10 an amazing value and versatile tool for electronic musicians.
Can't wait for this sucker to come out! Kind of strange how its the only Wii/DS piece of software I'm really excited about...
