freaking cool. I really should invest in a DS just for the homebrew projects alone.

Damn, too bad it seems to rely on the DSi's speaker shape, although I'm sure you could modify it to work with the original model easily.

Whaaaaat. How is he doing this? I have Korg DS-10 and haven't seen anything in the interface that would let you use the mic like that (or at all). If there's some hidden mic option buried in the menus somewhere and this isn't some crazy technical homebrew hack that would be AWESOME.

He's not using the mic. The straw is attached to the speaker and acts a channel, directing sound into his mouth, which he uses as a sounding chamber to shape the sound. You can do it with any kind of speaker really, including the one in your throat.

russtolium, you miss the point of a talkbox.
it takes the sound from a speaker and pipes it into your mouth ; the mouth does the modulation.

Any amplified sound (e.g. a guitar, a synth, a duck quacking) can be put through a pipe into your mouth to create a "talkbox."

It's fairly simple.

Ohhhh wait a minute I think I get it now, I thought he was using the mic but its just the actual speaker OUTPUT he's using, that makes a lot more sense. Too bad, I have a fat older DS that would need one of those huge bubble tea straws to do this.

Oh, and the DS-10 isn't homebrew.

Yeah, like I said I own it myself, I just wasn't sure if he had some sort of modified version of the software that accepted mic input (before I realized the mic wasn't involved).

That being said though, quite a bummer that they didn't use the mic for something like this, though I guess that wouldn't be faithful to the MS-10? (not that I'd know, but from what I've read it didn't seem to have any mic input functionality either). Still, that would have tied together virtually all the DS hardware's distinguishing features in a beautifully functional way.

Do you suppose that this can be done with a DS Lite?

I'm glad to keep reading articles about the Korg DS-10 for the Nintendo DS, but what would really make me happy is if it were available for the US market.

Please.

Think of how many units this Korg chip would sell

I guess I'm going to have to sniff out an importer

Haha, I love this guy – his kaossilator videos are epic.

I did the same thing with my DS lite. The speaker holes are spread out on the lite, so I took a soft plastic suction cup and cut the back off of it. Then I bored a hole through the center of the suction cup big enough to fit a piece of aquarium airline tubing. Tape the suction cup over one of the speakers, put the balance for the synths on that side, the drums on the other, and have at it.

@#10 it exists out here, you just have to find it. a lot of stores aren't selling it because it is "not a game"
i have a copy, i got it from ebgames canada.

Aha so talkbox = ghetto vocoder.

I made the same thing work on my DS Lite. Just make a thick paper or plastic cone to fit around the straw and then cut it and attach it the same way he did. Tested and works.

yeah, i think he got a million views with that trick that you can do with anything that has a speaker. Wish I had thought of that though. anyways, don't forget to visit the Korg DS-10 Home.

That's really nice, I should buy DS-10!!!
