KORG DS-10, a game for the Nintendo DS, is a great title that emulates a synthesizer from the renowned Japanese company KORG. With the stylus in hand the player can create up to 18 sessions on a very realistic synthesizer, complete with an eight-octave keyboard, a KAOSS pad, and numerous fine-tuning knobs, sliders, and switches. The amount of options is almost overwhelming, but a dedicated composer can churn out music with great quality sound. Additionally, multiple systems can be linked wirelessly to create orchestral sounds. KORG DS-10 is not so much a video game as it is music creating software. There are no colorful graphics, fast action or cartoony characters. Instead, it presents a functional interface tailor-made for the DS. Those who are not ready to create music with a full-fledged synthesizer will not enjoy the title, but aspiring composers can find a great tool here!Read full review
If you have a Nintendo DS (or DSi) and are a synth fan then you need to buy this product. Forget about the Kaossilator - this is a great toy that has some excellent filters and features - and most of all....will keep you amused (or bemused) for hours. Being a long term owner of various Korg synths, this has provided me with both frustration and fun! Frustration in that it is so good you want it to do more (which of course it can't) and fun in that you can get some pretty fantastic sounds (and sequences) out of it. It really is Kraftwerk on a DS so be prepared to tap in those synth lines for hours on end. It will be interesting to see how the plus version fares in comparison to this - currently unavailable in the UK it promises to significantly extend the capabilities of the original DS-10. My recommendation - if you see one of these advertised then snap it up as they are rarer than hens teeth!Read full review
Im having heaps of fun making noises and mixing sounds. Maybe I'll make an album using only this game!

if you are looking at this then you know what a software synth is, and, should know--what Fruity Loops is. (whether you like it or not) This is easily the match of the basic FL package. Its got synths, FX, and drum synths and more!! All cntrollable in the familiar ways as well as with the (hence the reference to FL) "piano roll" type grid/step sequencer means. I cannot stress how MUCH this is worth the 10-20$ youll pay for it. I got this and the DS and have no intention of ever separating the two. Its a GREAT way to travel or make simple beats and sketches on the go. I have no idea what it would sound like on decent monitors, but I suspect it would be competitive with other similar (nanoloop, etc) products so it could easily reward live use or studio use if you prefered the sound or interface to reason or something with a larger learning curve. Its a serious program, no doubt, and although it is limited by the amoount of processing power and memory-it does a DAMN good job with what it has. I would easily recommend it to anyone considering it who wants a lo-fi, lower-bit synth or a simple way to make beats that allows you to learn tools like synthesis proper and sequencing, time signatures, etc. Buy it if youre thinking about it. I have a sneaking suspicion, like nanoloop, its going to become rarer and rarer and you will not find it for the price yure considering now anytime in the future-but thats just a guess.Read full review
I bought the DS-10 as I have been a longtime fan of analog synthesizers, and yet I don't have room for a full keyboard. You can't get smaller than this, and yet it provides lot of the functionality and sound of an authentic late 70's era synth- with only the user interface being a world different. There are some limitations to this as obviously you're not playing a "piano" keyboards per se, but with the dual oscillators and built in drum machine/ sequencer, there's many things that can be accomplished. Its portability also makes it a no-brainer for carrying it around on a train or bus commute, or to doodle during your lunch hour. Now if I can just pry the DS away from my daughter (she owns the DS, I have the software) long enough to get some quality time with the DS-10, all will be right with the world.Read full review
