Yeah! Finally! MS-10 on DS, that´s like, um.. Tina Turner on Justin Timberlake. The facts are here: 2 synth parts, 1 drum part, 16 beat patterns, very editable, very versatile and gooooood sounding! Lots of tweaking can be done, there is even a Kaoss pad included, not for effects but for live tweaking the different parameters. The drum part can only handle 4 instruments, but for some fat electro or retro electronica this is very much enough. The whole thing feels tight and well thought through, perhaps some minor issues with the tweaking of the knobs with the DS-stick. There´s also an effect section but it´s a bit limited; you get a delay, a flanger and a chorus. These can only be used alone, and then assigned to one part or all. But an overall solid presentation and very intuitive. So if you can get it and if you have a DS, you have no excuses.

This probably known by most users. But I post it nevertheless, because it is so cool.

From www.korgkaossilator.com:
“KAOSSILATOR “Easter Egg” Lets You Record Four Measure Patterns
KAOSSILATOR does double duty! Yes, those uber-clever designers snuck in a way to record FOUR measure phrases! You can access this capability by holding down the TAP/BPM and LOOP REC/PLAY buttons while turning on your KAOSSILATOR. Once you see “DLY” on the screen, let go. The KAOSSILATOR then allocates its undo memory to recording memory. Once you see program “L.00”, hold those buttons again to enter the length mode, and turn the dial clockwise to select a length of “16” steps instead of the previous maximum of “8”.

Voila! Four measure patterns for twice the enjoyment!”

Yeah!
