Korg DS and a smelly appartment.


I finally got this, the Korg DS-10 nintendo synthesizer. I saw this early last year , now it's out on the US EU market. This is pretty much what you think. A Korg synth duh. It actually packs more punch than I expected, but if you are looking for a legit synth you might want to look elsewhere. NOT that you can't use this for recording or something , it is really versatile, and if you are into bleep-bloop-pop this might be handy. The things that really stuck out to me are.

A) You can record "patterns" and built a bank of them , max 16 i think? And play them live in any order you want. So you get definitely more then playing the piano over some beat.

B) Kaosspad. I never knew how badly I needed one til' I played with this. It comes with a versatile Kaosspad feature that you can mess with in an surprisingly big extent.


So, here's the deal, if you are looking for a pro musical instrument in this, you won't find it.

But if you are looking for an really good musical sketchbook/handicapped synth. Get it.


Verdict.

Pretty damn sweet.


In Other news, Apparenly someone died in the building and was discovered by the smell. That smell is... Rancid, and still lingers in our appartment. We also called it like 4 day prior to the really obvious. Nothing says goodmorning like the smell of coprse in the morning.

I guess this sort of thing happens all the time, I guess I never breathed it for a week or something tho.

Sad shit.
