I can't watch the youtube here. Am I correct in assuming there is no way to
connect a midi controller? If not it is a shame. There is a Minimoog and an
ARP 2600 emulator for the PC I like to use. These ones are really cool
because not only can you connect your midi keyboard, there are also plug-ins
to facilitate use with Cakewalk or Cubase.

You really should. You can't appreciate the coolness of the program from
the wikipedia page only. :)

Given that the DS is presumably not designed for this, it's quite neat
that it can do it.
inchest away from me, and it can do stuff like this video all day and
all night. But then, if you pay that much money for a "synthesizer",
you'd be pretty ****ing upset if it couldn't.
I'm actually kinda interested in the concept of small, portable music
devices. I see Korg seem to make a few of those. Maybe YouTube has some
videos of those too?
The problem, obviously, is that small, portable devices don't have much
in the way of control surfaces, and playing complex music basically
involves operating lots of controls at once. You couldn't possibly play
Widor's Toccata on a DS, no matter *what* software you use. You could
program in the notes and then have it play them back, but you cannot
possibly play it live, because there's nowhere near enough control surfaces.
Given this inescapable hardware limitation, what can software do? Well,
it can give you tools for sequencing. And that's what this video neatly
demonstrates. Personally I didn't think this particular video was
especially "amazing"... but then I'm sitting in a room containing
several thousand pounds worth of synthesizer technology, so I'm biased.
A tiny portable device is never going to sound as good as the "real
thing" (whatever that is), but from the video it looks promising at least.
Anybody have any idea how much a DS costs? I've vaguely heard the name
mentioned, but I know nothing about it. (E.g., until 5 minutes ago I
didn't realise it was a portable device.) Any idea what this software costs?
(I say again: Korg make several smallish portable music devices, and
they're all quite expensive. At least, as "toys" they're very pricey; as
"musical instruments" they're actually comparatively cheap. I'd be
interested to see how this DS thing compares on price.)

Grate. I haven't mastered the ocarina yet, and now I have to get this.

I imagine it's probably comparable.
I think Warp might have just picked my Christmas present... ;-)

As said on a youtube comment, I don't think anyone who gets this software
could do music as good as in the video.

That's true. No matter how fancy the hardware and/or software, nothing
will give you the one thing you need to create music: Talent.
Also no matter the hardware or software, you still need a lot of practice
and experience to be able to do anything good.

Personally I don't think the music shown was tha great, so I'm inclined
to disagree... but hey, who knows?
