DS goes synth

Forget Guitar Hero - although the DS version looks promising - Jam Sessions and the rest, this is the Nintendo DS music toy that we want. KORG DS-10 - or "Synth Hero", as it should really be called - combines a synth, sequencer and drum module with the touch-screen loveliness of the DS. Check out the Orbital-style demo track for an idea of how it sounds. If phrases like, "patchable dual-oscillator analog synth" get you excited then this could be your sleeper hit of 2008. That's assuming it ever comes out in Europe of course - it's currently set for a July release in Japan.
