Dear michael,

KORG DS-10 Plus is currently being developed by cavia, inc. in conjunction with Procyon Studio and will be released exclusively for Nintendo DS™/Nintendo DSi™ in North America in early 2010. KORG DS-10 Plus builds on the success of 2008's KORG DS-10 release, with new upgrades and improved performance that best utilize the high-performance specifications of the DSi™.

KORG+_image01 Designed after the famous KORG MS-10 music synthesizer, KORG DS-10 Plus is a revamped version of the revered music-creation program for the enjoyment of both professional and aspiring musicians alike. The sound sources in the KORG DS-10 come from KORG, one of the world's top musical instrument producers, and no effort was spared in the replication of creating high-quality sounds. New features for KORG DS-10 Plus for the DS/DSi versions include per-track MUTE/SOLO built into the SONG mode, and EDIT/PLAY enabled for all modes within the SONG mode for further improved real-time performance. The touch-screen controls of Nintendo DS are utilized to the fullest to provide an authentic feel and operability across a dual-screen layout that is unsurpassed in portable music creation. A 6-track/16-step sequencer enables precise control and provides a wide range of musical possibilities. Up to eight units can be linked via wireless connection to play together or to exchange sounds and songs.

Nintendo DSi owners can enjoy additional exclusive improvements and upgrades, all geared to deliver the highest-quality of musical creation and greatest breadth of creativity. These performance upgrades include 12-voice polyphony, 4 tracks for the analog synthesizer simulator, 2 drum machines and more! Also available exclusively when played on the DSi are 2 effects layers, essentially giving users the functionality of two original KORG DS-10's in one for the ultimate in music collaboration.

KORG DS-10 Plus will be available across North America for Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi early 2010.

Elvis comp - enrty by michael nervous featuring Charles Bailey



Using korg ds 10 plus (seven tracks overdubbed). Video recording of Charles bailey using mickey iphone mic. second track of Charles Bailey's vocals using ipro recorder and mickey. 1 track of ds plus is recorded without direct line and cars and other sounds can be heard (it is a live recording of the song mode to show how you can edit patterns). piano and tape sounds were created in flstudio matching my piano bars in ds 10 plus.

review: ds 10 plus bpm is in sync after 3 minutes of recording. I used the same song pattern and changed my synth sounds for the overdubs.

Nintendo DSi Game Region Alert compatability issues- KORG DS-10 Plus Limited Edition


Nintendo DSi Game Region Alert
Please note that Japanese Nintendo DSi games such as KORG DS-10 Plus with specific NDSi features such as the Dual Mode function are region-locked and not compatible with USA or European Nintendo DSi handhelds.

If you own a standard Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite handheld, you will be able to play KORG DS-10 Plus but please note that the North American or European Nintendo DSi will not detect NDSi specific cartridges from another region due to the lockout implemented by Nintendo. When you plug a Japanese NDSi game into a USA NDSi handheld, there is no recognition by the system. Thanks for reading.

wifi connect works fine

dsi running ds 10 and ds running plus. connection, exchange and play all work fine!

ds-10 plus .sav file

This is very obvious but I thought I would give it a try anyway. Ds 10 sav files do not work on ds 10 plus carts. The good news is you can back up your plus files.

korg ds 10 plus review part 2

I have had some time to use the ds 10 plus and have found out that the song mode is the only feature different from the original (for ds lite). Though this is disappointing, it is quite fun. I went through the youtube videos and the websites trying to find some little difference (for ds lite) and all that did was make me want the ds-10+ on my dsi even more.

The song mode adds an element to possible live performances that were not possible before. You can now let a track ride out the 16 patterns while recording over them and they will repeat with the new sounds. this is tricky as you are used to the single pattern repeating (original version). For example if you have patterns 1-4 as your intro and 5-8 as a main melody you can record over 5-8 an octave higher (as they are playing) to give the song a not so repetitive vibe when the patterns are played the next time in your song. this also gives you the option of playing something live on the other keyboard or kaoss pad with the new patterns 5-8.

so you still have 16 patterns, same editing features, 100 pattern length etc...

yes, I will post a video sometime showing this if it does not make sense.

Korg ds 10 plus review

After waiting from september 15th until monday october 5th to receive korg ds 10 plus in the mail, you would think i would have blogged within seconds of opening the package. well I uploaded a picture on twitter of me and the ds plus and went out that night happy knowing my dsi would be ready when I got home. To my surprise, region free on the dsi means nothing at all. I made sure I had the latest firmware and tried again, the korg ds 10 plus worked only on my nds and not the dsi. after contacting play asia and nintendo, and getting great response from both, I decided to keep the limited edition software (and we all no it was never going back).

Part 2: the actual review,

the new features are not necessary on the ds, but give you the option of working in a faster paced recording mode. you can set up your 16 drum tracks and record directly over them in song mode and switch back and forth between pattern and song modes without stopping. this feature alone is worth the money. After working in pattern mode in the original this may be confusing to some and amusing to those who are familiar with software like FL studio. The other features have not really played a part in my findings as of today, but I will keep posting.

xseed supposedly will release the u.s. version this month according to nintendo. play asia has the u.s. release set for feb 2010. if you can wait, DO. if not this IS worth it.
