Sound nerds such as our own beloved Dale North can tell you that the Korg DS-10 is possibly the coolest thing to hit the DS, well, ever. Of course, if you like to shoot stuff it certainly won't be your cup of tea, but if you already have a houseful of keyboards and instruments, you know this seriously rocks.
Get ready to rock harder, because the Korg DS-10 has earned it's own event: The Korg DS-10 Expo. Beginning October 26, 2008 from 1:30PM to 6:00PM, AQ Entertainment will host the “KORG DS-10 EXPO 2008 in TOKYO” in Shibuya at club axxcis. Of course, that's in Tokyo, so it may be a bit far fo you if you don't live in Japan.
If you do live in Japan, lucky you! You can score tickets for 1,800 Yen starting October 21st or for 2,000 Yen at the door. I can only hope events like this eventually show up in the U.S., as I'd love to see what people have created using the DS-10. Sadly I'm not much for writing music, but the idea of nerding out to other people's creations si pretty heavenly.

google that, he gives away his music for free
I've had the Korg DS-10 preordered for months from Amazon. They sent me an email saying the release has been pushed back to October 14.
Why oh why I'll never know. The whole entire game is in ENGLISH! It needs no localization whatsoever! I've taken to NOT having the DS-10 on my NOT R4, but I still want to support Korg.
Second why not order the Japanese version the ds isn't region locked right.I know for a fact that the language barrier is just one or two error messages the rest is in English.
oh and the credits i guess
I've been running all around NYC trying to find an import copy with no luck. I still have my preorder, so I'll just wait it out.
I think the Korg DS-10 will be HUGE in the US. I wouldn't be surprised to see a scene pop up around it.
I know nothing about writing music, but I'm confident that I or you could probably bash out something not completely terrible on this thing, and have some fun doing so.
I want to see what people do with the link feature. 8 DSes pumping out tunes under the control of one, awwwww yeah.
