[sdiy] Nintendo DS-10 (was Radio Shack catalogs)

[Walker Shurlds]

Hey guys,
What do you think of/have you messed with the Nintendo/Korg DS-10?

It's a "clone" (although I've found several fundamental differences) of
the MS-10, with a sequencer, kaoss pad, and drum machine (which they
claim is making MS-10 sounds, but I don't hear it) added.

Even if I don't think it's a very good clone, I can pretend it's
not a clone and was made up from scratch, in which case I think it's a
hella lot of fun to play. I'm really thinking about trying to play one
on stage, just for the "lol he's gigging a video game" reaction, more
than anything.
