ds 10 plus review update

the second part of my review needs to be updated as it is misleading. you can play 2 patterns (1 from each deck) at the same time in pattern mode. in song mode the decks play one after the other as pointed out in the manual. you don't need to transfer to another ds 10 to play the patterns. so if you need to use song mode u will still have to combine the separate tracks. thanks to montoya for pointing this out. i was definitely used to syncing the ds systems and have had some issues adapting to the song mode. please continue with your input thru comments.

ds-10 plus part 2

I have worked with the plus version quite a bit and here are some things i have come across.

-there is a button in song mode for patterns on the a deck or b deck or both.
the problem with this is: it plays deck a first then deck b. it's basically like having two ds lites synced up and having one muted while the other plays.
-if you have a song where both patterns need to be played at the same time from different decks you would have to upload the file to another ds or dsi to play at the same time.
-the track mutes work wonders for composing on the song mode.
-when recording out of the dsi you have to record your decks separately and combine the tracks in a daw.
-when you stop a song in song mode and go back to pattern mode the tracks that are muted in the song at that point will be muted in that pattern. you will need to go the mixer to clear the muted tracks.

please correct me if i am missing something with the decks. i will post on the patterns and how the decks react soon.

non ds 10 michael nervous remix of wolfmother

this has no ds 10 in it. i had a link here to a kid 606 remix with ds 10 in it, but had to take it down.
this contest is over in a few days so if anyone wants to add some korg to the wolfmother samples here is the link.

here is where you can rate my mix.

How do you get your song out of your ds / dsi?

I use the zoom h2 and a 3.5mm (male) to 3.5mm (male) cable. I record the performance on the recorder, take the sd card out of the recorder put it in the reader on the laptop and upload/convert/add to video etc.

I prefer portable recorders over soundcard/ breakoutboxes. mainly because I record wherever.

I got this question on youtube and said I would begin to post on this.
