Soon your KORG M1 on your Nintendo DS

The developers of Korg DS-10 (who originally worked at Cavia and AQ Interactive) have formed a new studio called Detune, and are continuing the work of emulating Korg synthesizers on the DS. The new software, Korg M01, is designed to replicate the functions of Korg’s best-selling synthesizer, the M1, which has been dubbed a “music workstation” (combining a keyboard, synthesizer, and sound module).

M01 will be available to amateur musicians (and other DS owners) in Japan this December exclusively on Amazon, evidently published by Korg and Detune themselves. A limited edition has also been revealed. The company has yet to say a word (or emit a pleasing tone) regarding a release outside of Japan.

Main features:

– 8-part multi-timbral synthesizer with 342 sounds including whole of the original PCM data in the KORG M1 (maximum 12 voices)

– 8-track sequencer (maximum 64 steps per a sequence) – 1 Master effect: Reverb or Delay

– Simple and well-composed screens structure: Track overview, Sound browser, Sequence edit, Mixer, and Keyboard

– Easy input mode for notes, chords, and drums with Touch control screen

– Exchange of song data between the others with Nintendo DS wireless system

KORG M01 will be released in Japan in December, 2010. Detune are planning the international sales.
