The UI looks pretty good (and gets the job done). It's loosely based on the Korg MS-10 (and various other synths).

While this was a fun cross between a serious synth and a musical toy, the improvements don't really seem to justify buying it again, especially if it's region-locked (wtf). I don't have DSi yet but I will probably get a European one - or now I have to faff around and order one from the US, in order to get titles sooner etc? God damn.

(Yes, I knew DSi was region-locked, but I thought that was only for software from the online shop...)

The interface is pretty consistent with Korg synthesizers.

Probably the best review of the original if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UB1AZPXJoA

But if you are an importer and have Japanese DSi, you can get it right now http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-buyj-71-9g-49-en-84-j-70-3gt6.html

If only it would allow export to a computer based application - then you could have a little sketch tool to take on the go.

The second is the thing I play on my DS the most. I CAN'T WAIT for this one.

I've actually been purchasing KAOSS and Micro synths from Korg. I love them...

This is honestly one of the most fun thing I've done on DS. And I get the extra effects. :D

I've actually done some sets when I mix online where I used it instead of my KAOSS pad before I had the full synth.

Are you racist against block people or something?

This software was the main reason I bought a DSi. Hope they bring the tuner/metronome/chord finder apps to DSiware NA too. Exporting midi files via SD would be nice.

No way! It's good to see that the original was popular enough to warrant making a more advanced version.

I actually have 2 copies of DS-10 – I completely filled all of the save slots of the first one.

And by the way, I love the UI. It's super old-school. Anyone who cut their teeth on Propellerheads Rebirth RB-338 will totally appreciate the simplicity.

Pumped for this. Gave my musician brother the first DS Korg after I saw the teaser trailer for Korg-DS10+.

Along w/ me getting a surprising amount of use out of the DSi's cameras, the increasingly endearing DSiware lineup (FlipNote, Mario & Donkey Kong, Dragon Quest Wars, Art Style, Mighty Flip Champs, Domo and the upcoming Game & Watch and Bomberman Blitz!), and newly announced DSi enhanced/exclusives like this, Monster Finder, and Spidy, I'm reaaally glad I updated from my phat to the DSi!
