The Korg DS-10 is my...well, it's my jam. Some music nerds had the bright idea of sticking a classic synthesizer on a DS cartridge for portable music making bliss. I still carry the musical creation software with me just about everywhere I go. So imagine how excited I was to hear that a new title has been announced this morning.

At a conference in Japan, AQ Interactive announced Korg DS-10 Plus, an update of last year's title that now takes advantage of the DSi's higher-tech innards. So what's different? It has about double the song-making power, with four analog synths instead of two, and now eight drum tracks instead of four. Add that to the new track count of 12, and you have some serious song tools. New programmable editing also gives it some added flexibility.

This could run on the DS, but according to Watch Impress, you won't have the horsepower to run the new analog simulator. So make sure you've got a DSi before getting this title. 

As before, if you're not musically inclined, you might not get much out of this title. For those that are, Korg DS-10 Plus ships in Japan on September 17th, for about $40. If it's anything like its predecessor, it's 100% import friendly, too. I'll be picking up a copy on launch week to toy with.

Hit the jump to watch an over-the-top promotional video for the new software. The ending is hilarious.
