<p>The KORG DS-10 is the world&#8217;s first music creation software for Nintendo DS &#8211; combining the interface of the popular handheld game console and the design of the famous MS-10 synthesizer.</p>
<p><span id="more-1390"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
The sound sources in the KORG DS-10 come from KORG &#8211; one of the world&#8217;s top musical instrument producers &#8211; and no effort was spared in creating these ultra-high-quality sounds. The Nintendo DS&#8217;s dual-screen touch panel is used to the fullest to provide a feel and operability that is unsurpassed, and combined with the sensory input mode at the touch-control screen, this unit can be appreciated by the complete novice as well as the seasoned professional.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s a demo video of the KORG synthesizer for Nintendo DS:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ph8HDMM7hIM&#038;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ph8HDMM7hIM&#038;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<blockquote><p>
In addition to the two analog synth simulators and drum module, a 6-track/16-step sequencer enables precise control and provides a wide range of musical possibilities. Several units can be connected and played together through a wireless link, and this and other features make the Nintendo DS and KORG DS-10 almost limitless in their application &#8211; they can take you places that no single synthesizer can.
</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://www.geekalerts.com/u/korg-ds-102.jpg" width="345" height="271" alt="KORG DS-10" title="KORG DS-10" /></p>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>World&#8217;s first music tool software created for the Nintendo DS</li>
<li>Two patchable dual-oscillator analog synth simulators</li>
<li>Four-part drum machine that uses sounds created with the analog synth simulator</li>
<li>Six-track (analog synth x 2, drum machine x 4) /16-step sequencer</li>
<li>Delay, chorus, and flanger sound effects available from the mixing board</li>
<li>Three note-entry modes: touch-control screen, keyboard screen, matrix screen</li>
<li>Real-time sound control mode via touch-control screen</li>
<li>Exchange sounds and songs and play multiple units simultaneously through a wireless communications link</li>
</ul>

<p>The <a href="http://www.shopncsx.com/korgds-10synthesizer.aspx">KORG DS-10 Synthesizer</a> will start shipping July 24, 2008, but you can already pre-order it for $48.90 from NCSX.</p>

At a first quick look, this may look like the cool geeky clocks you&#8217;ve seen in the past. But the NES Circuit Board Clock ($35) is different. Instead of using the circuit board from a computer, this one is built on one from a 1987 Nintendo video game console.
