Norg

I was about to write-off Nintendo’s DS system as another victim of overly cutesy marketing for the fetal crowd, until this morning. Legendary synth maker Korg has created a fully functioning soft synth, The Korg DS-10 with a six track sequencer. Based after their vintage MS-10/20 modular synths, the dual screen DS emulates the classic designs - patch cables included. Maybe this is still targeted to the glitch pop bands of the future, but I’d like to hope Nintendo was still thinking of their original demographic (the geezers we are). Although it’s Japan only - we can hope it gets imported (I’m pointing at you TNJ).
