More GrooveStep Goodness

I'm keeping eye on this awesome music homebrew and it seems that the team doing this are aiming for it to be retail. Which I find to be fair enough. But being a homebrewed and going retail sounds tough.

Anyways, just enjoy the vid and the potential of Groovestep.

Laid My Hands on Guitar Hero: On Tour.

I finally laid my hands on Guitar Hero: On Tour (GHOT) 2 nights ago thanks to a friend of mine who works in a gaming shop. It was actually just for display but then they manager was kind enough to let me try it out.

I played a few tunes and I liked it.

The only problem is the Guitar Grip itself. Vicarious Visions did great on it but its a problem to those who has medium hands and medium length fingers or bigger. I had a hard time putting it in place. I think the best way to put it on is Guitar Grip first, get comfortable with the placing, strap on then attach your DS afterwards.

I might get this for myself soon after my priorities are done.

I need the KORG DS-10 now!

It's finally out, quite unfortunate for the Japan market. I'd really want to try out this thing since the first time I laid eyes on it. Not to mention it being previewed live on one of the club in Japan.

Now that it's officially out, I hope I can grab this thing as soon as possible.

Hey, what about you guys grab it first and tell me how good it is? You can grab the KORG DS-10 via Play-Asia.

Forget about it being an Amazon Japan exclusive.

KORG DS-10 Making an Appearence in LINEAR, Shibuya, Japan.

Who said the DS is pure crap? Here's a video of a club in Shibuya called LINEAR where the Nintendo DS amazed the crowd with the KORG DS-10.

The start is a bit bad though but I'm sure with a bit of practice, this thing will hit the club scene like crazy! (A bit exaggerated!!) Imagine being a DJ without the heavy equipment and just the DS. Check out the vids!

The World Ends With You - The Music

The World Ends With You game amazes me. The soundtrack to. So I've decided to surf around Play-Asia to check out the soundtrack. THEY HAVE IT! I am so gonna get this. I'm gonna get this after I grab some things on my next paycheck. You guys can have it too, just order it through Play-Asia. 34 tracks and might have a bonus track. It's worth to buy if you love the game.

Did I mention it comes with a cool steel casing?

Guitar Hero for DS buttons are Add-ons?

Here's a news that I got from getting information for the upcoming game Guitar Hero: On Tour. Vicarious Visions, the developer for the said game for the DS has mentioned they tackled lots of challenges before coming up with the game.

Obvious reasons is the DS itself. Too keep to the DS being compact, they rejected the fact of making the peripheral look like a guitar fretboard. That means, no guitar sized thingy.

The most interesting thing I found was about Vicarious Visions asking for permission to add buttons instead of mapping together with the buttons available on the DS. That means the buttons that is shipped with Guitar Hero are additional buttons for the DS.

Very interesting sales strategy.

Guitar Hero : On Tour Making Deal

Should I grab it? Maybe I just leave this? The Guitar Hero franchise reached the DS and making a deal to their fans. Especially those who already owned a DS. I'm sure some of you want this thing on your hands on the day of the release, then this is your chance to get one!

Can't Get Korg DS-10? There's GROOVESTEP!

I mentioned about the upcoming coolness of the KORG DS-10 few post back. You know, the new portable synthesizer where you can make music where ever you go? Some of us might think that this thing will be one hell of a purchase. Look no further as homebrewers will save the day! (and your money. Actually I know you all like free stuff.)

April 7, 2008 - GrooveStep Digital Music Studio is a revolutionary ultra portable music making application for the Nintendo DS. GrooveStep features an easy to use step sequencer for pattern based music making. You can make beats, melodies and full songs with GrooveStep.

That's right. A rival that gives you free. Not as fancy looking but from the looks of it, it nearly resembles the KORG DS-10 functionality. Whatever it is, I'm surely want to try this when it's out.

Korg DS-10 - Music Making Goes Portable

Forget other music making thingy for the DS. Jam Sessions is gone. Electroplankton can be burn down. Behold the next new thing! The Korg DS-10! Now you can make music as you go. Just look at that video and how amazing that thing is!


Sources say it will be a worldwide release. Now to know when.
