KVR Audio

I have a DS 10 with the Korg game; and its a lot more fun than you might think.

It works a lot like fruity loops actually. Basically you have a drum line, two synth lines, and two kaoss pads with a few presets each that you can choose from.

You work inside individual patterns, and you can essentially sequence the patterns in something similar to playlist view in FL. The youtube video's really do this thing no justice. Ill Record a song I made with the DS10 and post it so you get a good idea. You got mixers, channel effects, you can adjust bpm, add swing...you can choose wave form, you can side chain (in a similar way that you would in reason) albeit all in the simplest possible form.

I think it is the greatest way for you to get someone to understand the absolute basics of electronic music sequencing and has a really authentic Nintendo 8-bit sound. but thats just my opinion

Nice tune cobalt! That'd be a good demo song for the ds-10 as it show the synth off well. I like it, great sounds!

I'd been checking their site since the launch date was announced and I don't think they've ever had any in stock.

I ordered mine from Game...£24.99...and it came next day.

That's about the only thing that's caught me out so far. I gather HLD means hold .... still a bit unclear about SMT though. There was some talk of it here;

See i thought SMT was snooth as in smooth automation as it appears in the kaoss x/y sequencer pane. But that doesn't explain what HLD means! I saw that the other day, didn't realise the vid was you!

Hi alltogether,
just a stupid question of a electronic muisc newby: I have a Nintendo DS with DS-10 and want to connect it to my Alesis IO2 to record a track on the PC into FL8 or Audacity.
I have the following problem: if i use a standard 3.5mm stereo to 6.3mm Jack and plug it into the mic/Line input of the IO2 amp i get a kind of a high pass filtered signal, the bass etc. is filtered away. If i go into the FX insert channel, the signal is OK, but then i can not amplify it.

How do you guys connect your DS-10 to PC sound devices and how do you connect them to a PA (DI Box??). Any special cable with screening ?
Thanks for help

best regards
boingboing

I hook my DS up to the mixer using a stereo mini-jack to x2 phono jack lead.

Is it a stereo 6.3mm jack going into a stereo socket?

So you use 3.5mm stereo to 2 X Cinch yes ?

In my case it is a stereo 3.5mm to 6.3mm stereo jack, but goes into a mono socket on the IO2 and i switch the IO2 into mono mode. Output can be heard on both of the two monitor speakers. You are right, maybe the Stereo to mono makes the problem.

I will buy a cordial Y-Cable 3.5mm stereo to 2X 6.3mm Mono and will try again.
I'll post th result here.
Thanks guys,
cheers

There's your problem

That will do it.

Korg DS-10 !!!
