Psykohed, handheld gear is perfect for when you
are on the move.. Riding in a car, on a subway,
walking? Something you can work on discretely and
close the lid, drop it in your pocket in 2 seconds
if the situation calls for that. How many people
get mugged for their macbooks? bwahaha.

Devices like the DS and iPhone are going to change
the way music is produced and performed forever.

Peter Kirn- I have something to make music with when I’m the road. It’s called a… Macbook! What else do you need? I don’t understand why anyone would need (or want) something smaller with the processing power of a Mac Classic. It’s mindless…

Blah, Blah, Blah…everyone disses this thing but isn’t it kind of cool that its an official release and not a home brew? I find it kind of refreshing that something this offbeat is available for the DS and will be available from a store and not some geeks basement (not that there is anything wrong with that).

If anyone goes to the launch party, could you ask the programmers if they’d document the protocol used to sync up multiple Korg DS-10s? It would be useful for other homebrew projects. Maybe we can use it as a standard for synchronization? :-)

@psykohed: I think simon indicated that there was more under the hood than we are seeing in these overly corporate demos.

Really useful? Heck yes. That’s right, I said heck! And yes, I want to see that modular nature shine through some more… otherwise it’s just fluff.

@Psykohed: To whatever extent electronic musical instruments are ever “useful,” I’d say this is, for a specific audience — that is, people who want a soft synth they can play with on the road. glitchDS and DScratch are likewise very cool. I’m personally impressed that we have a selection of software *for the DS*.
