Korg DS-10 Synthesizer & Sequencer Software For Nintendo DS – Awesome, Pitched At Kraftwerk Wannabes [Video]

A week or so ago we featured Moo Cow Music’s iPhone/iTouch Drum Machine Software which, whilst very cool, is not quite as awesomely cool as this Korg approved DS-10 Synthesizer/Sequencer Software developed for Nintendo’s DS by AQ Interactive which will have you developing Kaftwerk inspired melodies in next to no time (whilst you stand there with the obligatory expressionless face looking wholly nonplussed).

Inspired by Korg’s classic analogue synthesizer, AQ Interactive’s Korg approved DS-10 synthesizer for Nintendo’s DS transforms your DS into a pocket sized, fully featured, touch screen controlled synthesizer, sequencer and drum machine offering two patchable virtual synths with two oscillators each, a four part drum machine and a sequencer offering two synth tracks and four drum machine tracks.

Succumbing to incontrollable bouts of salivation yet? We are, but just in case you’ve not quite taken it all on board, lets run through that again.

Korg DS-10 Synthesizer & Sequencer Software For Nintendo DS Features:

• World’s first music tool software created for the Nintendo DS
• 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

This truly awesome software is due to become available some time in July ’08 and will retail for around ¥4800 – which is approximately $48 / £23 / €30 at the time of writing – and, whilst by no means on par with the likes of Tonium’s Pacemaker (which is in an altogether differing league in terms of capabilities and pricing) in terms of offering highly portable music making capabilities with a gorgeously retro feel is so obscenely desirable that it really ought not to be legal (and has got me breaking out my Kraftwerk back catalogue as I write this).
