I've been watching this for months and I'm surprised no one's made any mention of it. AQ has developed a Korg-10 synthesizer for the DS and it's really cool and easily blows the other music or sound applications like Jam Sessions and Electroplankton away as a stand alone app.
It was announced to be released in Japan but was recently announced for a worldwide release. I'm pretty sure I will have to do a bit of hunting once an US version is out, but in the meantime I'm pretty interested about it because yes I jack my DS into amps and effect pedals and I make games and other things sound cool

THAT...SAMPLE MUSIC...IS SO...HOT.

Any video though?

And... How could I output this into something I can actually save on my computer? Would that involve a little technomancy or something?

I was planning on running the DS through a digital 4 track so that I wouldn't have to put anything foreign into my system. I'm sure that people have hacked the DS so that you can save sound and whatever, but I'm not into it so much since I only have one.
There are lots of videos on YouTube- search for Korg DS-10

It's easy, double sided headphone cord into the mic input, record. BAM!

I love when the producer said. "They are VERY drunk...at that time!" Classic.

In all seriousness though, this is a remarkable application for the DS. Anyone w/ just basic musical and software skills can bring a lot out of it, as well as just having fun. I can only hope they make a version in English.

I read in Wired today that a world release is set for July http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/06/music-creation.html I really can't wait. I hope it doesn't take too long to get here, how much text could the app really have, right? I mean, they wouldn't make us wait past Christmas right? Right?

I'm not very religious, but I could be about this title. Thanks for the word Flames of chaos. I was going to mention that your info has been great recently and then you replied to this, I can't believe it, you're great. Thanks!

Good video that's pretty much how I picture the set up I'd like. I'm definitely considering getting a second DS so I can work with the other sound programs with the Korg.

i only heard about this game thru this video. now i'm interested..

I am so intrigued by this that I will buy it and, like most things of this sort in my collection of junk, never use it to its full potential due to the effort involved.

I actually am waiting for this to come out so I can begin an extensive sound project. If I treated this as something to mess around with I'd sort of just be wasting its potential. Sound, not necessarily music.

Im going to take it to an open mic and use it to make a beat so I can sing Hold On by Wilson Phillips over it.

That's awesome. Allow me to suggest the use of vocal effects, if possible (maybe a vocoder, like that Cher song in which she sounds like a robot).

It's easy to hook up effect pedals to the DS, you can affect the entire system with just a few knobs and switches.

I perform and I've added a dynamic to my art with the DS in the past using Electroplankton and effect pedals, I think with the Korg the experience will be richer.
Hey, you never know!

Unfortunately no- I was robbed of all my equipment years back when I was doing it. But once I'm prepared a video will be made for sure.

I have yet to listen to it, but Diplodicus has made and released a whole album made with Korg
http://mp3death.us/diplodocus.html
At this year's Extra- Hyper Game Music Event Nobuyoshi Sano and some others are going to perform using Korg
http://www.siliconera.com/2008/09/06/tokyo-hosts-extra-hyper-game-music-event-in-october/

Today on my birthday quest for a silver DS, I stopped by my non corporate game shop for one, but they didn't have it and so I got to talking with them and got them to order two copies for me, I was told that there is no language in the game so playing a Japanese copy would be fine. I haven't heard anything about a US release so ordering from them seemed like the good thing to do. It's nice to see the press that the game is getting though, it could be the best reason to own a DS if at all.

Looks like this is about a month away...can anybody here play piano? I'd like to see what a trained piano player thinks of this thing when it comes out.

Downloading that DS-10 mix now.
