We’ll never be able to look at a Nintendo DS the same! Korg just took gaming to a new level by adding a step sequencer and a 3D oscilloscope to its software. Once one’s sounds are created, users can share them with others. The software is to consist of 12 classic synthesizers. Gizmag expands more on this technology below!

–“The new DSN-12 software will take advantage of the 3D credentials of Nintendo’s handheld by providing a 3D oscilloscope on the device’s top display. Korg claims that seeing the waveforms in three dimensions can “deepen your understanding of how sound is created.” It’s an interesting feature, though it’s one that users of the cheaper non-3D, 2DS version of the handheld will have to forgo.
This isn’t the first time Korg has brought a classic synth to one of Nintendo’s handhelds. The company released two similar synth apps on the original DS handheld – the M01, based on the original M1 synth (2010, Japan-only), and the DS-10, inspired by the MS-10. The M01 was later given the 3DS treatment in the form of the M01D.
Korg’s fondness for porting its instruments into digital form doesn’t end there. In addition to the aforementioned 3DS releases, the company has also created various digital releases for iPad, including versions of its Electribe, Kaossilator and MS-20 products.
The Korg DSN-12 software will release exclusively on the Nintendo eShop in Europe and the Americas this September. There’s no word as of yet on pricing, but the older M01D 3DS software is currently priced at US$34. We’d expect a similar price point for the DSN-12.”
