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

[m.bareille at free.fr]

Hi,

>From what i have seen and listen about the Ds-10 it have nothing to share with
the sound and ergonomy of a true/real MS20 and the MS10 too .

The same way the Korg Legacy is a really pale and cheap emulation of the
MS10/20. The only good thing into this bundle is the DSS-1 emulation who is
almost perfect ...

Take the time to compare both side by side and you will quickly get an idea of
where are differences ! Specialy when you turn some knobs close to the max
position (> 8 ...)

It is only a good marketing argument to say that it is a 'clone ' of the MS10/20
but it is far to replace the analog synth in fact :) I won't trade myMS20 even
for a full barrel of DS-10 ;)

Anyway the DS-10 look like a nice toy to play music a bit everywhere and seems
to sound quite good for a tiny softstynth...


Cheers,

Marc B.
