Well, speaking about C64 (synthesis based trackers) and Amiga (sample based trackers) and Soundfonts (samples with not much tweakability of sound itself) and DS10 (grid based new style - e.g. Fruityloops - sequencer with virtual analog vst engines).. Well, you're comparing apples and oranges. It depends on personal preferences, but DS10 is clearly one of the best music tools for NDS. DS12 for 3DS has (except for longer sequences etc.) 6x MS10/20 (it's something between those two synthesizers) instruments tweakable in real time or by some prerecorded kaosspad style sequences, while DS10 for NDS/DSi has 4 instruments you prerender per project + only 2 realtime tweakable Engines/Synth instruments. But well, DS10 is more accessible due to cost of NDS and R4 carts...
Yeah. It's def. not 6x MS10 synthesisers sequenced by master sequencer, but also the price is not same ;)
And speaking about Soundfonts and vsts on PC.. Well, why don't you play your DS games on emulator on big HDTV? This is kind of pointless to me thinking about it this way... Some people just doesn't like to use smartphones with vsts, although it's the easiets and cheapest way to do electronic music ;)
And there is no way to sync DS10 except for programming one of your 6 instruments to play short pulses in one of two stereo channels and act as a master syncing other gear by analog clock and the rest of your instruments play in the other channel.

Does the NDS even have any quality audio capabilities to really take advantage of this software? I don't know much about the DS's hardware vs the GBA's, I just know the GBA audio quality is the worst I've ever heard.

The Nintendo DS hardware has 16 audio channels that support 16-bit audio (PCM16) at a sample rate of 32,768 Hz. However, the mixer limits the output to 10 bits

its actually just a 1 bit DAC modulator but can have a lenght up to 10bit

on the other side the speaker is the weakpoint it wont even go up to 10bit so yeah propably sounds the same ish as gba

    Crazy we gotta wait till April for anymore details. Then who knows how long after that till release. Seems like they were not ready to reveal til April, but because of all the leaks, they had to reveal something.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:

    Switch 2 price leak- $449 base unit, $499 Mariokart bundle. https://thedirect.com/article/switch-2-price-leak-higher-expected-nintendo-console
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    "So if the person who told me June release is all but confirmed to be correct, then that could mean the pricing they gave me of $449/$499 USD might also be correct. Think the $50 extra is a Mario Kart Bundle."
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I doubt it releases In june
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Who knows, that's still almost 6 months from now
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
