Topic: Nintendo Korg DS

My girlfriend got me this for Christmas, is anyone else playing on this?
It's pretty fun, will be cool for the bus to work.
Pretty easy to get some nice acidy jams going

I got one for xxxmess too. there's some discussion in the new booty thread.

it's a cool thing to use, and I think for the $$ it's totally worth getting - though I'm really getting tired of the 16 step/one bar limitation. I wish they'd given the ability to make at least up to 4 bar loops, like an electribe (or an original 808!)

Re: Nintendo Korg DS

I also bought it when it came out.
For 40 Euros you cannot expect more i think. Its a great gimmick not more not less.

Re: Nintendo Korg DS

I dunno - for all the development they did, you'd think the ability to extend from 16 steps to 64 would be pretty simple. without that you're really stuck in 1 bar techno land.

And it'd be easily do-able. they don't even use all the buttons on the DS as is, and there's still room on the screen... so it'd be trivial to have a pattern length control, and use the A and B buttons to jump up and down the pattern for editing!

aaah well. yeah, it is still a fun music toy.

Re: Nintendo Korg DS

yeah 16 bars x 16 patterns is a bummer. I got halfway into a crappy ds cover of Novamen Lies and ran out of patterns haha
Good fun nonetheless

Is that from track chrono trigger or some other ff-style game, or am I just confusing things again?
That guy is definetely talented, but I didn't really feel the tracks on his myspace page.

Re: Nintendo Korg DS

@obi: that is one of my alltime favourite tracks.. and he does it in a very, very good way! wow!

@score100: no game, it's forbidden colours by sylvian/sakamoto from the merry xmas mr lawrence soundtrack..
