madeinbeats Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) More reasons not to have sold my 3DS - not that I could have composed anything other than Three Blind Mice on it... but damn, it's so cool! Korg to release M01D synthesizer touchscreen keyboard for Nintendo 3DS Updated 23:11 14 Apr 2013 by Grace Dean KORG Inc. will launch the KORG M01D synthesizer suite for Nintendo 3DS in the 3DS eShop this summer, Detune has announced. The KORG M01D music workstation is based on the KORG M1 to reproduce the "unforgettable digital sounds of the 80s such as the "M1 piano", still heard on many songs today." The touchscreen keyboard will come with 24 voice-polyphony, 8 part multi-timbral synthesizer with 342 sounds, master effects: reverb and delay, and 8 track/max 64 step sequencer for 1 scene/up to 99 scenes and 3D viewing of the M01D on the 3D screen. Detune have announced a release date for the download of May 2013 in Japan and Summer 2013 worldwide but a price is yet to be confirmed. The song and MIDI data can be saved to an SD card to enable the M01D to be used as a sketchpad. This also means users can quickly import/transfer data to their favourite editing programs. The workstation will also allow Nintendo 3DS users to exchange sounds, when connected to WiFi. Korg have previously released the Kaoss Pad, the effects processor and sampler, which was followed up by the Korg Kaoss Pad Quad in 2011. To see the KORG M01D in action, watch the video by Detune below.

RedShell Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 YES! I loved KORG DS-10. Really wanted to get KORG M01 too, but never got around to importing it. Sooooooo happy this is getting a download version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 When I saw the name "MOID" I thought of this guy: "I have.... many faces... but none of my own." /showing my age. Terrahawks. Quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Cool to see a 3DS version of KORG. Hopefully the fact that it's on eShop should help it reach a wider audience. You could make some amazing stuff with the DS version (even though it's too complex for the likes of me to really get much out of it, it's just plain cool!) Still my favourite remix of the Cheetahmen theme Wish I was that good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iun Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Terrahawks. Quality! I used to have the first ten seconds of the fanfare as my start-up sound on my PC. "Dun-Dunnn....Dun-dun-dun-DUN! Da-da-da-dun-dun-dun-dun-da-dee-dun!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShell Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Redshell... you know what to do!I sure do!Actually... I don't. What you on about? I hope you're not suggesting to recreate/remix the awesome Terrahawks theme in M01D, 'cos that'd be tough. Would be bloody cool though, so I might attempt that actually.

You are LEGALLY obliged to do this. I actually just spent a few minutes messing around on my iPad synthesizer... The main theme is relatively easy to work out - it's in A, the bass is contrapuntal riffing around about 3-4 notes.

RedShell Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Anyone know what's happening with this? Not much of May left now, and there still doesn't seem to be a set date for the Japanese release. @Ike, @Debug Mode, @Serebii... anything up on the JPN eShop yet?

Ike Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 anything up on the JPN eShop yet? Don't think so, couldn't find anything. Someone else who can understand Japanese better might be able to find it better but nothing came up on search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Looks like it's been delayed in Japan until June. I wonder if that will delay the worldwide release too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debug Mode Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yep, Google translate pretty much gets the main point across. 3000 yen though? Wow, that's pretty cheap, that's like £20 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 This has been delayed in Japan again by the looks of things. From what I can gather (from Google translate ) it's now due to be released in Japan sometime in July, God knows when/if we'll be seeing this in Europe.

Sméagol Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Oh wow, as of now my biggest reason to get a 3DS. No reason to still try to get [that import copy of M01] then I guess . In the meantime, I’ll go play with the DS10 version again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 It has finally launched in Japan. Now bring on the European release!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obscure Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Is this still coming out in Europe? Because I'm really looking forward to it, and I have money waiting to burn.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ville Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Getting more and more convinced I wanna buy this. Sitting on the computer composing music is such a pain in the arse, so a handheld solution like this sounds like a great alternative... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Is this still coming out in Europe? Because I'm really looking forward to it, and I have money waiting to burn..It is still coming out in Europe, yes. But unfortunately it's gone from a summer release, to sometime in autumn. Getting more and more convinced I wanna buy this. Sitting on the computer composing music is such a pain in the arse, so a handheld solution like this sounds like a great alternative...Yeah man, it's great. I got loads of use out of DS10. Being able to just quickly fire up the DS and get composing, anywhere you like, is awesome. And M01D has the added bonus of being able to export MIDI data too, so you can always jump back to PC if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obscure Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The frustration of region locking starts to flood my mind.. I hope it still comes out here, but didn't the upgraded version of DS10 only come out in the US and JP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fused King Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 This was actually the thing from the latest NINTENDO direct I got excited about the most. I'd really love to create music with my 3DS. I have tried using stuff on my laptop, but it just doesn't click with me. I am determined to get as much out of this as I possibly can and learn to make music!

RedShell Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Anyone else download this then? I've been pretty much glued to it since Thursday afternoon. My first experimentations in KORG M01D... Starts out chilled, but then I go mental with the flute: Audio Had a lot of fun making this one, got an 80's/Beverly Hills Cop/GTA V vibe: :awesome: Audio Messing with 8-Bit sounds: Audio Very rough WIP of a Mario Circuit remix, all over the shop at the moment: Audio Anyway, I'm really loving this app. So many sounds and so many possibilities, reckon I'll be using it for ages! BTW @Fused King, to answer your question about a tutorial from the eShop thread, well I'm afraid it's as I expected, no tutorial at all. Just 4 demo songs and you're on your own. There is of course the digital manual (which I've only looked at briefly) that goes into detail about all of the various functions of the software though.: peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
