Oh, and, uh, while I'm here...

Seems you guys are able to post your works here online. How do you do it?

By recording through an emulator or something?

Or is there like a web-uploading service you can use in the "game"? (Doubt the latter, but would be awesome if included)

Just connect the DS to your PC Audio Line-In and use some record software

With some cable like this:

Pretty sure Winamp has plenty of input plugins. And as an added bonus, run Milkdrop while playing back your song.

But yeah, I was concerned when this thing turned out to be only eight megabytes (less than one compressed, and a bit over five when trimmed) but evidently it's all there. Just finished playing with it for the last twenty minutes rocking out to some random crap and it's all the fun you would for as a portable Fruity Loops/whatever.

Love the audio boost technology, it sounds so clear at max volume. I wish that technology would be integrated into video games.

I can make some pretty good beats and stuff, but I don't understand how the "Song" function works. Anyone wanna explain?

I haven't been playing it much (have beens leeping, actually) but I think (hope) that could be for looping bars and making different ones to add to form a song?

Just make some patterns (for example create a beat, copy the whole beat from pattern 1 to pattern 2 and remove the snares from the beat at pattern 2), then go to
song mode and mark the first 4 squares in the first row, and the 5th to 8th square in row 2. now play. it will first play the full beat and after 4 steps it will play the same
beat without snare

Thats all, very easy to learn.

You always start on pattern1, go and create some beat, then switch to pattern screen (you will see pattern1 highlighted with a red dot), then chose "copy" from the upper
menu and after that click on pattern2. Now you got a copy from your beat on pattern2. Now SELECT pattern2 to change it a bit, et voila, you got to different patterns
which will nicely fit into song mode.

Only spent 15 minutes with it, with output to my high quality DJ headphones. I am very impressed with this software. This is right up there with RB-338 (Rebirth by Propellerheads, makers of Reason) with the quality. My only complaint so far, I can't find away (and i don't know if there is) a way to get more then the standard 4 choice drum kit (kick, snare, open hat, closed hat). Otherwise the control options and software interface is perfect.

Kind of unintuitive, but if you click the Drums button on the far right you'll get the Drum pad page (Side note: When playing a loop, tapping on the pads is quantized, giving you a perfect beat

) where there's an edit button in the upper left corner. Click that, then select the pad you want to edit. There will be a new screen playing a looping sample. Here you can modify the drum like any other synth and add drum-specific FX. Unfortunately, unlike the 2 synths, the changes are song-wide and can't be modified per pattern.

Also, I think I figured out what the SMT/HLD button does on the Kaoss page: SMT interpolates the data changes made on page 3 (doesn't affect page 1 or 2 as far as I can tell). HLD is stepped, good for anything needing a clean rhythm (e.g. chiptunes).

I can't believe it's on my ds now. Months of dreaming, then only seconds of downloading and installing. I feel guilty.

Amazing product.
