The synth has a demo version. Moody ds synth and sid synth are $12 on the hobby chop site. Hardware and carts are not currently available as the person that runs the site is on holiday. the downloadable .nds game synths, sequencers, visualizer etc are available right now. I'm using the GBA slot 2 midi adapter in the video to trigger the synths on the nintendo ds units with midi from the ipad.

The demo is the real instrument, not a teaser. You get the full sound engine, the effects, the sequencer, song mode, and the touch keyboard, so you can sit down and make music with it right now.
moody-ds is a virtual analog synth with the warm, hands on character of a classic subtractive synthesizer: an oscillator running into a filter into an envelope, shaped with an LFO and a touch of effects, all in software on your DS. If you love that fat, filtered, knob twiddling vibe, you will feel right at home.

Demo and full version
The free demo is the complete instrument to play with. The full version unlocks the things you keep and connect:
Saving and loading your presets.
The automatic save of your working setup.
MIDI, so you can play from outside gear and sync clock in or out.
What you need
A Nintendo DS or DS Lite with a flashcart, to run it from an SD card.
An SD card, to save your presets and setup (full version).
For MIDI, the mDS cartridge that plugs into the second cart slot. It works on the original DS and DS Lite. The DSi and 3DS do not have the slot, but the synth, sequencer, and song mode still play on any DS.
mDS is a Nintendo DS / DS Lite slot-2 (GBA Game Pak) MIDI interface built on an RP2040. It bridges hardware MIDI into the DS over the slot-2 SRAM bus so a DS app can be a MIDI synth. The DS is the synth; the cart is the interface - see the sDS synth app, the baseline ROM that runs on it.
One firmware, two jobs: mDS speaks the mDS `"STDS"` protocol (MIDI clock + a MIDI event ring), so the same cart drives both the sDS synth *and* clock-sync apps (e.g. stutter-ds) with no changes.
Instructions:
Place the sDS ROM on the SD card of your favorite R4 or SD DS cartridge.
Plug the cart into the DS before you turn the DS on.
Meet Jynth, the new synth by Fingerlab for iPhone, iPad and Mac— the warm, analog soul of the iconic Roland Juno-106, reimagined with a groundbreaking Physics Engine for organic, living sound.
Designed for leads, basses, keys & pads, Jynth delivers that classic vintage character you love — housed in a meticulously crafted, photo-realistic interface that looks as good as it sounds.
Shape your sound with a full analog-style signal chain: From the dual oscillators and resonant VCF filter to the ADSR envelope, LFO and built-in arpeggiator — every parameter has been carefully tuned to feel as musical as it sounds.
Go further with 5 studio-grade effects: Tremolo, Flanger, Chorus, Delay & Reverb — stack them to build rich, evolving textures and cinematic soundscapes.
Bring your presets to life with the Physics Engine: This is where Jynth truly stands apart. Assign up to 8 physics-driven modulations to any synth or effect parameter. Gravity, bounce, impulse, angle — let the laws of physics shape your sound in ways no LFO ever could. Every preset becomes unique, every performance feels alive.
Explore new sonic territory with Preset Per Note & Preset Ribbon: Inspired by the music of Aphex Twin, Preset Per Note lets you assign a different preset to each key of the piano keyboard — so every note triggers an entirely different sound. Take it further with Preset Ribbon: select a collection of presets and glide between them in real time, simply by sliding your finger across the ribbon. A new way to perform. A new way to play.
Play anywhere, plug into anything: Jynth is universal — one purchase gives you the full experience on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Use it as a standalone app or load it as an AudioUnit (AUv3) plugin directly inside your favorite DAW. Pair it with your MIDI controller via MIDI In support, and your sound is always there — even when your screen is off, thanks to Audio Background mode.

Melthaven replaces the traditional fixed LFO with note-triggered modulation, creating a phase shifter that reacts instantly to your individual playing style. Built for guitarists, it is also highly suited for synth basses and sounds with sharp attacks and fast decays.
Its analog-modeled OTA filters provide deep resonance and character, ranging from wah-like effects to complex, shifting formant textures or even experimental tones, like bubbling or hard, slappy effects.
For bright, harmonically dense signals – such as saturated or overdriven tones and synthetic sounds – the effect range also includes growls and glistening sweeps.
FOCUSED ON BASS & GUITARS
The effect was specially developed to respond to the frequency response and transient peaks of electric guitars and basses. Every pluck, pop, or pick attack re-triggers the phase sweep, effectively turning your rhythmic timing into the "engine" of the effect.
USING LOOPS? BREAK THEM OPEN
Melthaven allows you to add powerful growls, bark, and quacks "after the fact". This unlocks deep dimensions of control usually lost the moment a loop is bounced. Instead of being stuck with locked-in sound design, you can now reshape the envelope of any pre-recorded sample, breathing new life into your loop library.
EXPERIMENT AND EMBRACE THE UNSTABLE
Because Melthaven relies on clear transients, results will vary based on your source material. On soft or transient-free signals – such as pads or sounds undergoing heavy effects processing / layering – the effect can produce wild, unpredictable, and experimental responses. While this use isn't what the plugin was designed for, the dedicated smoothing feature can tame these re-triggers, yielding a flow that can feel organic and physical in its instability when operating beyond the plugin’s transient-focused comfort zone.

Sequencing plugin for IPad/Iphone/Mac that does not replace Fugue Machine but is a new app altogether that is cross platform. My understanding as of now the app is $52 if you have the 1st version, $59 to new users and $79 on July 1st. I have fully tested on IPad and works great using 15 minute trials in test flight. I also read a few places that the AUv3 version only works on IOS presently and will be a mac update soon.
Okay that usually causes frustration and get that out of the way.
Here is what you would be getting if you make it past the 1st paragraph:
Description
Bend time. Automate notes. A single grid as a multi-dimensional musical canvas — for iPad, iPhone, and Mac.
Fugue Machine Rubato dives deeper into the multi-playhead piano roll concept of Fugue Machine Classic by adding time-bending playheads, parameter automation, and much more.
At the heart of the sequencer is a nonlinear time engine that lets playheads move with a natural — or surreal — feel. Unlike conventional sequencers, where time advances at a constant rate, time in this engine can expressively accelerate, decelerate, freeze, and change direction. Playheads are now free to swing, strum, bounce, move elastically, and more.
Built upon the time engine is a robust parameter automation system with time-bending automation playheads and envelopes sculpted with points, curves, and shapes. Nearly everything can be automated — even the notes.
Eight years in the making, Fugue Machine Rubato is rock-solid and absolutely packed with features.
I decided to challenge myself to upload a song a day to youtube for a playlist. so far all songs are created in korg gadget but I plan on using other devices or apps as well.
