Re: Review: KORG DSN-12 (3DS eShop)

This is easily the best Detune product so far, one of my favourite things about it is that there isn't really a limit on the amount of songs you can save (before it was only around 20 and now its over 2000!)

I've sunk around 18 hours into it already.

Re: 3DS System Update 9.0.0-20 Is Now Live with Home Menu Themes

Here are my initial thoughts...

Cool! Themes! Let's have a look... hmm... no default green option, that's a shame...

Let's have a look at the downloadable ones, hmm... that Zelda one looks nice, let's watch a Youtube video of it... ugh! The way they've stitched the ends of the image together with that blur is super ugly, love the icons though.

How about the jumping Mario one... boring, would rather wait for a theme that really grabs my attention.

Wonder if they'll include theme codes with boxed games, that would be great!

Let's check out the eShop... not much new here and they still haven't improved the Watchlist! Wish I could re-arrange my list and have sub folders for it... maybe next time.

Re: Review: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (3DS)

I had this pre-ordered but after playing the demo I cancelled my pre-order, the controls just didn't feel right at all to me. If anyone knows what control options there are that would be great.

I didn't like the feel of doing attacks with the circle pad, it was fine on the GC pad as it has that octagonal outer which really helped but doing attacks with the circle pad just feels slippery and not precise at all, I'd prefer D-Pad and a separate button for smash attacks (so that's one for regular, one for special and one for smash), that would feel cramped I imagine though... hmm...

@edhe Korg DSN-12 emulates MS10 and 20 analog synths with the added bells and whistles of a sequencer and some effects. The M01 which I think you are referring to is emulation of the M1 which is a digital synth (hence the sample sounds and workstation interface)... I found the M01 to be a little stale but that's the nature of workstations I guess.

DSN-12 is almost like a powered up version of DS-10 which released on the DS back in 2008. I have loved my original DS-10 since it was released and so would highly recommend DSN-12... It appears to be 12x as powerful which boggles the mind.

Check out my channel for some random DS-10 videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/davidevoid/videos

Also worth watching video tutorials for MS20 hardware to give you an idea of how synthesis works before delving in.
