Korg DSN-12 – an ‘analog-style’ synth app for the Nintendo 3DS – is now available.
Korg DSN-12 provides twelve monophonic synthesizers, based on the Korg MS-10 analog synthesizer. Each can have three effects, letting you create a broad range of sounds
You can assemble sequences into patterns, and save up to 64 patterns for use. Songs can be created by freely connecting patterns together.
DSN-12 also includes what they are calling the world’s first 3D oscilloscope (Wave and Lissajous modes are provided.)
Here’s the official intro video:

That waveform display is mesmerizing.
Why is everybody getting so excited, it’s just a Lissajou display, nothing new or out of ordinary and it won’t help you become a famous musician…lol. Think!
I’ve just ordered my black 3DS XL, and yeah, I’m quite excited. Not because the osciloscope thing -this just seems like a really cool feature- but because DS10 is already awesome. I just love how it sounds and the workflow. It’ s not a complicated synth (comparatively, because is way simpler than an accurate emulation of MS-20, but still more complicated than the semimodular synth in Gadget or in many similar apps), and yet it can produce an infinite range of sounds. Sound and musical/song creation are tightly bound together in a way you would have to struggle really hard for to get in a more sophisticated, professional environment, and I think that’s the main point why I found it so inspiring, and most of the music produced with it interesting and fresh. More tracks, more realtime modulation, a better sequencer, some new effects, an getting rid of the cartridge storing limitations cannot be bad 🙂
looks like it is on sale now for $19.
