Hey! This is the first song I've completed on Korg DS-10, a synthesizer for the Nintendo DS! O: It's a pretty neat little application. Of course it's not as powerful as something like FL Studio or Reason, but the amount of things it can do is surprising! Pretty much everything you hear is done only with Korg DS-10 and Audacity.
I think this song is kind of decent as far as DS-10 songs go. It's really difficult to make a song that doesn't sound overly repetitive with the DS-10, to be honest, so I tried my best here. I know some of it will probably sound like it drags on for a bit too long. Either way, I really hope you like it! :3

D: I really like the part at about 1:20. it like, flew around my head! o-o
The only part I thought lasted a little too long was the silence at the beginning, and end, just about one second too late. But WOW this sounds awesome! :3 Didn't seem repetitive to me at all.
I want to put it on my mp3 player ;^;

I've had a DS10 since they came out in japan (imported one) and have been playing around with it off and on. Recently started looking around to see what people have been doing with it. This is really quite cool, and definitely does not have that "yet another DS10 song" feel. I'm favving this.
Is this just a single "song mode" recording, or is a "live mix" where you're switching patterns manually, muting and unmuting things, etc?

That's what I'd guessed by listening to it. I was gonna say, if you managed to arrange that in song mode, I was going to be A) very impressed, B) Asking you lots of questions XD
I have played around with using little tricks to try to get more out of the sequencer. Running half-BPM and cutting your resolution down to 8th notes so you get two-measure patterns is the basic one.. you can still get 16th note rythms if you put a delay on a drum track to duplicate a double-hit.
The other is using both synths as one instrument, sequencing one measure on one, one measure on the other, and then using the square wave output of the LFO (MG) synced to BPM with a wavelength of two measures, mapped to the amplifier with full intensity. Set that up on both synths, but invert the intensity on one. One synth is now muted for a measure while the other plays, and at the end of the measure they swap.
Combine that with the BPM trick and you can have long, four bar patterns in 4/4 time, though you cut down your flexibility a lot. I have two Korg DS10s to play with, so I figured I could then compensate with the second unit playing in tandem, filling the sound back in. In a live session the long measures would aleviate a lot of hassle of having to constantly switch patterns every measure, and/or you could have both playing song mode together (have to manually queue them.. doable!) and get something really long and complicated happening with one click.
... but I still haven't actually finished a song, so... it's all for naught XD
