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.

Welp, time to sell the old one. I haven't even taken the time to really play around with it yet, either.

Finally convinced that trading up my DS was a good idea. Also, that being lazy about never buying DS10 in the first place was a good idea.
