Korg DS-10 - A DS review to make beautiful music with

The DS is often quite an underrated little handheld. While many people consider it to be childish, or full of non-games, every now and then, a developer (not necessarily Nintendo) pulls something out of their hat that is genuinely impressive and quite inspired.
One such developer is AQ Interactive, who have put some time and effort into creating the Korg DS-10, an effort to squish an analog synthesiser into the little dual-screened platform. We told you all about it a while ago, but now, dub3000 has gotten his hands on a copy, and thoughtfully provided us with a shiny new musical review.
The sheer size of the DS install base means that some strange things can happen down in the trenches. Smaller third-party software companies look at that number (which is extremely large), maybe they do some sums, possibly they also notice the peculiar hardware features of the DS. And then software designers go slightly mad. Hence: cooking games you shout at for new instructions! Mind control! Things that are not RPGs or platformers! And in my warm grip, the Korg DS-10, which [spoiler warning] does not really sound like a vintage Korg analog synthesiser but is something very interesting and unique regardless.
