Nintendo DS

Overview

Named after the musical instrument producer Korg, the Korg DS-10 is music creation software designed specifically for the DS. The concept for the game arose when the physical similarities between the Korg MS-10 and the Nintendo DS were noticed. Incidentally, this occurred in a bar when the producer witnessed two people having a conversation about the DS and Korg synthesizers. The Nintendo DS seems the best candidate for this software largely because it has a touch screen which makes input easy, quick and responsive. While trying to be a full fledged synthesizer, the Korg DS-10 is an excellent entry point into sound synthesis and composition for those who are still new to music creation.
