AQI PARODY JOBS KEYNOTE TO ANNOUNCE DSI-ENHANCED KORG DS-10 PLUS

This is about as brilliant as it comes: AQI producer and longtime Namco composer Nobuyoshi Sano appears before a virtual audience in pitch-perfect Jobs style (though the camera never shifts down to let us see whether he’s opted for the New Balance or Nikes) to announce Korg DS-10 Plus, a new version of their portable synthesizer.

The Plus version will come ~$10 cheaper, and — as summarized by Palm Sounds — will double the number of analog synths from two to four, will include eight drum synths, a total of 12 tracks, and will offer real-time editing when used with DSi.

AQI plan to release the new version on September 17th, with no word yet on a stateside release, though it’s always been one of the most eminently importable DS releases.
