Product Description
The KORG DS-10 Synthesizer is a music-creation software for the Nintendo DS that combines the superior interface of the Nintendo DS and the design concept of the famous MS-10 synthesizer.
The sound sources in KORG DS-10 Synthesizer come from KORG - one of the world's top musical instrument producers - and no effort was spared in creating these ultra-high-quality sounds. The Nintendo DS's dual-screen touch panel is used to the fullest to provide a feel and operability that is unsurpassed, and combined with the sensory input mode at the touch-control screen, this unit can be appreciated by the complete novice as well as the seasoned professional.
In addition to the two analogue synth simulators and drum module, a 6-track/16-step sequencer enables precise control and provides a wide range of musical possibilities. Several units can be connected and played together through a wireless link, and this and other features make the Nintendo DS and KORG DS-10 Synthesizer almost limitless in their application - they can take you places that no single synthesizer can.
- Unique software allowing users to create music from scratch
- 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 and 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

The Korg DS 10 is not really a game. Sure it's on a games machine, but it's actually a fully working emulation of a real-life synthesiser, the Korg MS10. This was a big old piece of anologue tech from the 80's - bigger than most PCs today. Now, every fucntion from the original machine and more fit on a DS cart and can be used by anyone.
What you have are 2 synth channels, 4 drum channels, a mixer and an fx board. You can create your own synth and drum sounds from scratch using the same settings you'd use on a real synth. You have 2 occilatiors on each synth too. You program the sounds using a sequencer, a keyboard input or an awesome kaoss pad input, allowing you to literally draw the sound. Each input offers varying degrees of control, and can be used to sculpt exactly the sound you're looking for, or to jam randomly and still have something that sounds great.
This is a fantastic tool for anyone that likes electronic music, pro or enthusiastic amateur. It's so fully functional for what is essentially a toy.
Also, you can use up to 4 of them in wireless synch mode to really flesh out a tune, allowing you to control multiple elements simultaniously. I'm buying another copy for my other DS!

Not for those with poor sight, this is a great source of entertainment for anyone interested in how electronic music can be created by those with no training. I'm a non-musician who has owned a few digital synths in my time, but I'm told the DS-10 models an analog synth. So it's very instructive for me. The best recommendation for this cartridge can be found on YouTube. A great way to while away the time spent commuting to work (unless you're driving or cycling). Although it's more fun to use the DS-10 without reading the manual, you will eventually find there are more virtual knobs on screen than you expected, so a quick read-through of the instruction booklet is recommended.
So next time you see someone on a train busy with headphones and stylus, they won't be playing with a stylophone, they'll be dabbling with a DS-10. The DS-10 is the stylophone for the Noughties!

I agree with most of what other reviewers have said, not really a game, but still great fun.
Great tool if you are new to electronic music and on a learning curve, a portable way of experimenting with basic synth's.
If you are a seasoned musician it is useful as a sketch pad for ideas etc.
If your into music and you have DS lite you should get one, well worth £20
