New studio 'Detune' announces Korg M01 for DS

How different will this be from DS-10 and DS-10 Plus? I already own both :/

The DS-10 is great. I have high hopes.

Is this in any relation to .detuned, the only psn game that can be 100%'d in less than 2 minutes?

OMG! I

Apparently it didn't like the rest of my comment about my love the the DS-10 and Korg in general. ( Have the monotron, micro Korg, and some other things )

As a musician that records at home as well as being a gamer, I've wondered if these titles have the fidelity to send the signal out to a mixer and into the PC. Using this as a tool to create backing tracks. That could be fun.

Can it export to MIDI?
That would be worth goosing.

I still have my M1, standing on its end in the den, though the battery died years ago and hooking it up to the PC to sysex dump programs into it every time I want to use it is enough of a pain that I just do it in software.

For those who are wondering, this couldn't be more different than the DS-10. The M1 is completely sample-based, with rudimentary low-pass filters and a DSP that does up to two effects (usually reverb and chorus) at once. The entire sample set, drums and all, fits into 4 megabytes. It should actually be a lot easier for the DS to reproduce than the MS-10's analog oscillators and filters that the DS-10 was simulating, and will be much more useful to people who are trying to put together songs. On the other hand, it has far less character than the MS-10. No one will mistake M1 songs for chiptunes, but it has some very distinctive sounds that were used heavily in dance music in the '90s, especially the piano.

Sure hope the sequencer has greater capacity than the real M1 now that rewritable memory is so much cheaper. All your patches and songs had to fit into a total of something like 32K. At most, you could get 7700 MIDI events into the sequencer, including all notes and controller changes, a limit you'll hit in about 30 seconds if you use any pitch-bend in your songs. Not that I can really imagine an interface to allow you to pitch-bend while playing notes on a touch screen, but even without pitch bend, the songs you could record were not very long unless you kept it to a single instrument.

Regardless, I'll probably buy this if it gets translated, just as I bought the DS-10 and DS-10 Plus (and Electroplankton, and downloaded Nitro Tracker, etc.)

I wonder if it will be able to sync over wifi with the existing DS-10/Plus. I love love love the DS-10 Plus. It's a beautiful combination of simple and deep, technical and freeform.

Full Kaoss Pad emulation next, please.
