Well, what can we say: it fits in your pocket, sounds like the famous Korg MS-10 synthesizer and runs on your dual touch-screen Nintendo DS system. Don’t get it twisted, this is no toy; the DS-10 software is a full two-oscillator analog synth simulator that features a patch-style design. You can create music on-the-go or link up multiple Nintendo DS systems through a wireless link to trade tracks and jam out with fellow Nintendo owners. The 6-track sequencer, including a 16-step sequencer for programming the analog drum module is notable.

Screen views for programming include matrix, musical keyboard, synth patching and routing, all of which respond to the touch of a stylus. It doesn’t matter if you’re an amateur or a seasoned pro—whipping out a synthesizer/drum machine/sequencer out of your back pocket and making music at whim is a thrill that never gets old.
