Making KORG DS-10 sing a Daft Punk song

via Denkitribe:

You can make any analog modeling synthesizer sing with pseudo formant synthesis. Funny singing? I think it’s like a speech synthesizer in 70’s.Thanks goes to Yonao for suggesting this idea.

Sunday Synth Jam: jetdaisuke create Express #471 using the Korg DS-10 software synthesizer.

This is the song for travelers on railways.

One day, I took a short trip. I got on the Shinkansen express TANIGAWA #471.

In the train, I composed and played a new song with my NDS (KORG DS-10).

TRAINing 2 – Fast And Crazy is a stop-motion music video, with a Korg DS-10 soundtrack, by Synthtopia reader JohnLRice:

This was actually going to be my second YouTube video but I kept putting it off because time lapse and stop motion video can be hard to do without the right equipment and experience. Then I discovered www.pond5.com recently when making my Monster Man video so I decided to abuse my credit card again . . . I mean . . . stimulate the economy to make this video!

The music is all done with one pass of Korg DS-10. Audio EQing etc done in WaveLab5. Video editing done in Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum.

See John’s YouTube page for more music videos and MOTM modular synth demo videos.

William H of InsideSynthesis does a great video review of the new Korg DS-10 synthesizer/sequencer for the Nintendo DS.

You can preview a mix of the tracks below, or download the full set at the MP3 Death site.

Features:

• Professional-grade music tool software for the Nintendo DS
• Two patchable dual-oscillator analog synth simulator, -part drum machine that uses sounds created with the analog synth simulator
• Six-track (analog synth x 2, drum machine x 4) /16-step sequencer, Delay, chorus, and flanger sound effects available from the mixing board
• Three different note-entry modes: Touch Screen control, keyboard screen, and matrix screen
• Real-time sound control mode via Touch Screen control,Exchange sounds and songs and play with up to eight units simultaneously through a wireless communications link

It’s an impressive little synth, recreating thousands of dollars of hardware in virtual form. Here’s shot of the Korg DS-10 in action:

Korg DS-10 synthesizer for Nintendo DS

via Jed05:

Korg DS-10 was just released in Japan, and is a Korg synthesizer emulator for Nintendo DS. It is entirely in English, not that there is a lot to read.

Pretty cool application!

“Do you think this is just yet another toy synth?” asks Denkitribe. “I don’t think so. This is a very serious virtual analog synth.”

Looks pretty cool from the demo.

This episode of the 1Up show – an online video game show – features a look at the new Korg DS-10 synthesizer, which runs on the Nintendo DS platform.

The original MS-10 (price 53,500 yen in 1978; US$300 then) was a monophonic, single oscillator job. DS-10 simulator works as two synthesizers (each of them, dual-oscillator affair), since Nintendo DS has dual-screen, upper and lower.

Adding to this two tracks (or two synthesizers), four tracks of drum machine sounds have been built-in. Altogether, DS-10 can be treated as six tracks, 16-step synthesizer/sequencer. Maximum, tune of 99 phrases long can be produced.

Three ways of note entry input: Touch-control screen, keyboard screen, and X-Y matrix screen. All three of them controlled by DS stylus.

Variable resistor nobs and patch panel wiring, too, are easily controlled by a stylus. Sound effect modification has three modes: Delay, chorus, and flanger. Controllable on mixer screen. Only drag is the sound output. DS’ line output is rather feeble and full of noise, but no midi-in/out are possible. Sure, restriction from the DS platform, a revenge of hardware!

Already, thousands of DTM freaks have queued up in Japan to get Korg DS-10. Their waiting will be rather long. Release date, July 24, 2008, and only at Amazon Japan (amazon.co.jp). Only consolation would be its price tag, just 4,800 yen (US$46), very much affordable for everybody with Nintendo DS already in his hand.

No word still on a US or European release date.

Hi there! my name is Tomi from AQI Inc.and I’ll be in charge of this product for international territories. For those of you out there wondering the release of DS-10 other than Japan, well, here’s a good news. YES, we will release DS-10 worlwide and currently we’re making an adjustment with each territory. So please be patient. Your support means a lot to us and we’ll keep you all with the latest update of the international release as soon as possible.

Here’s a video of the DS-10 in action:

Korg is introducing a Japan-only cartridge for the DS that turns it into a simulation of the classic Korg MS-10 synth. It actually looks kinda cool, too.

No word on global availability. We can hope, though.
