Korg making a Electribe type sequencer "game" for the DS

oh hell yeah. looks fun.

That's the most exciting thing I've seen in MONTHS! I am getting this, and three other friends who also have it, and I am FORMING A NEW BAND and REHEARSING and WRITING and PLAYING GIGS and RECORDING AN ALBUM, you just see if I don't!

Shush, you party pooper.

Music gimmick titles are always welcome! Especially the ones that don't even pretend to be games. That actually does look pretty fun to screw with.

lol, I wasn't being sarcastic! I really meant it, four people on a stage rocking dirty beats with their wifi'd Dee eSses would be great, and is 100% certain to happen at some point. And I want to be there first! :)

^seriously!

Too bad there's not a way to import VSTs, additional banks, etc.

....

YASUNORI FUCKING MITSUDA IS BEHIND THIS

Hilariously off base YouTube comments as usual:

Copies the Tenori-On ._.

the korg ds-10 is out!!!

A bit pricey... I can wait until October.

it's available from 'sources' now and it's very fun!!

dang

I, uh, acquired a copy of this but it's not working for me. Is it meant to come with a RAM expansion or something? Is it even usable in Japanese? Might just wait for a proper English language release...

it works fine fr me

normally the problem with in acquisitions is that your acquisition player has out of date firmware

is it an R4? have you updated FW?

it's all in english btw

Ah yeah, it's an R4 and I've not updated it for months. Ace, I'll try that.

yeah, it wasn't working for me and I updated my FW and now it works fine

it's funnnnnnnnnn

how much does this cost and how does one "acquire" it?

I ws just being a tool; by acquire, I mean downloaded a rom

don't know how much a DS flash cart (the most common ones are the R4 and m3 ds simply) will run you these days - $30??

you can buy the official japanese copy of the game from play-asia.com and I think it retails at $60 - the US one will be out soon and will be cheaper

who else has this

I just got an Electribe MX!

it's fun

I just know I will officially look like the biggest genius in town when I sit in front of my iMac with the big powered monitor speakers and plug my Nintendo into it with a dinky headphone cable so I can make loops with a stylus on a tiny touchscreen.

Heh, that's kind of how I feel about it too... but it does look quite fun.

I imported, fooled around with it for about an hour and then thought, what the hell am I going to do with this thing. It's cool alright that they got a korg you can mess around with on a DS, but... it's exactly as useful to me if I'd bought the real thing. i.e. good for sitting in a corner collecting dust :(

oh i kind of love this

'song' function totally annoying though—you have to start from the beginning every time you want to listen through more than one four-bar section of yr track at once? gaaaaah

was waiting to see if i was getting this for xmas but it doesn't look like it so now i can buy whoo

this thing is awesome, I'm totally going use the stylus/pad to play synth solos straight into ableton
how do we trade jams on internets?

1. why does resonance get called peak? never heard of this before (makes plenty of sense though)
2. why are they still referred to as VCOs/VCFs/etc? There is rather clearly no voltage involved here
3. arrrrgh only one effect for both synths?
4. kinda wish there were markers on the VCO2 pitch knob for significant intervals, not that it isn't easy enough to find them by ear

1 and 2 are to maintain (as far as possible) identity with the MS-10, right? (manual here: http://www.korganalogue.net/korgms/manuals/ms10/m1001.html) — not that this answers why they did it in the first place
re 3 you can stick an effect on the drums in the drum edit screens — you can then add another via the mixer — if you had the patience you could map out a melody on the drum sequencer and thus have different effects on two melodic lines

what i don't understand: why applying the envelope generator to the pitch changes the base pitch anywhere up to four octaves up or down. (i am kind of new to this stuff.)

VCO 1 pitch only goes in octaves (to stay in tune lol) - applying it to VCO2 pitch should work for S+H noisy semitone wackiness

didn't realise this had come out! will grab after work.

Could pair well with a Kaossilator and a decent laptop input. Should be fun...

did you all see this already? ds-10 talkbox!
