Thanks fellas

Cassp.., what you have to take into consideration is that the DS-10 is a pocket version of the Korg MS-10 analogue synth from 1978. However, with current technology the DS allows you to do things that were not possible with the original synth such as saving custom patches... Korg then brings the MS-10 into current times by adding a 4 part analogue 16 step drum machine too (where each part of the drum track is fully editable).

Together you have two analogue synth emulators (each emulator capable of having 2 osc), add the drum machine and you got a 6 track step sequencer with 2 synth parts and 4 drum parts. It goes even further and gives you Kaoss pad control. It just makes so much sense for this thing to have a built in Kaoss pad considering the DS uses a touch screen.

These types of apps are going to do very well in the electronica area. I've heard some pretty decent covers done on the Tube using the DS-10, but of course many of those are "Remixed Electronic" versions.

However, for the money you can't beat this little thing. Got the app for $36.00

My wife isn't the biggest Hip Hop fan either, but I got her attention last night when I wrote this little song. She really likes the second half of it.., and is shocked I pulled this off on a Nintendo DS. It took a lot of editing to get the kit to sound like that too. The bass drum, hi-hat, and snare (on default) sound nothing like this. If you want to get the type of kit I used on this you're gonna have to tweek it (which is fun and rewarding too) The bass patch and lead patch are also user tweeks.
