synthesiser emulation, trackers and ds

[prof_pangaea]

ok, so the thing i have wanted for about three years now is a nintendo ds. probably if i had been paying attention back when i was able to pay my bills i could have swung buying one -- used ones are pretty affordable. but then i just wanted one because of how they are neat, and lately i want one so very badly because of NitroTracker. it is like the most awesome thing i've ever seen. DRAWABLE AUDIO ENVELOPES OMG. in the spring i was reading up on the new korg ds-10 cart, which is a synthesiser program for the ds made by korg (which has "Two patchable dual-oscillator analog synth simulator" i.e. you can actually patch oscillators together with fake wires on the screen!), but NitroTracker looks even more awesome, especially because it is homebrew and the developer seems super cool. also it is midi compatible but i am too much of a noob to know how awesome that is, except more experienced people all say it is awesome so i assume they are right.

here is a screenshot of NitroTracker:

HOTT

here is an invisible dude using the korg ds-10:

look at the wee fake patch cords!

i want to have a wee music factory in mah pocket, dammit.

i know! I WANT THEM. i've got a little sound dj rom, but not a cart because they are impossible to find. 8 bit peoples started selling them and ran out immediately -- also they were selling for like seventy or eighty dollars! agh! i'd like to get a ds and try NitroTracker, and get nanoloop as well, because 2.2 works on the ds.

THIS IS ME WHEN I AM A NOOB. IMAGINE THE SENTENCES I WILL BE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE.

there's sample songs made with NitroTracker here (http://nitrotracker.tobw.net/index.php?cat_id=5), if you're curious. which you are not but i am ignoring that. i really liked "cybernitro" by atomtwist.
