anyone got any thoughts on this (//http://www.dv247.com/invt/46818/product.htm?gdftrk=gdfV2356_a_7c416_a_7c1181_a_7c46818) please?
My younger son is very keen on one for Christmas.
I used to think myself lucky if I got a lump of coal, etc, etc.
I got my eyes on it too but I've never had the chanche to try it... :S
I like the look of this little toy!, I've seen a couple of demos on the web. My fiirst thoughts were, groove generator and drum machine with very tweakable effects. As for note to note precision for melody/chords etc , I'm not so sure. But it's not designed for that anyway.
For a hundred quid it looks like a very nice toy... I will definitely be considering getting one myself.
If not I'll settle for a hundredweight of anthracite instead :D
Has he got a Nintendo DS? If so, check out KORG DS 10

A little more advanced than a kaossilator, but a good introduction to analogue synthesis!

Ohhh I like this, Thanks Serfox :D
£24.99 delivered on Play.com. :)
Amazon too, well Amazon three really, cos that's all they had left!
And it's actually very very versatile for somehting for a handheld console, and sounds pretty damn close to the original synth, and has some nifty features. Awesome for the glitchheads and chipchoon lovers like me, and it's a great way to learn about different synthesis techniques. It's been making me think laterally, and it really is like being back in the day, though I wasnt around, where you had two oscillators and a drum machine and you're left to your devices to utilize these to their maximum potential.
My boyfriend is a god for getting this for my birthday :D
By the way, I'm already doing a version of Toys on this thing xD
The Korg DS-10 looks excellent.
Oliver is now completely converted to wanting one of those. He doesn't have a Nintendo DS, so he wants one of those as well. :roll:
Mission accomplished!
