luckily, DS-10+ will allow you to fiddle around with synth/mixer stuff during song mode even on an older DS, unlike the original version of the DS-10 where you basically had to exit the song mode and kill the playback. so, good news for you!

Thanks all!

Damn, yeah im mistaking 32 patterns for 32 steps, this is a bummer. However being able to tweak stuff whilst the song sequencer is playing kinda negates it.

Dual mode is disabled on DSlite, but what about the mixer/ synth settings during song playback, are these availible by any miraculous chance?

Thanks again!

DS-10's saves will also port to and from DS-10+, the main advantage is that it is like running two instances at once, and I think there are some mixer tricks it lets you do.

Ah! sorry, my mistake. I trust Bryface's response more than mine for sure as he's the DS-10 guru.
Actually, this bums me out since I didn't buy DS-10+ thinking it wouldnt run on older hardware. Whoops.
Thanks for the clarification though!

if i'm not mistaken, i believe you meant 32 Patterns, not 32 steps. DS-10+ runs in a "dual mode" where you basically have access to two songs' worth of patterns. but each pattern can only contain a maximum of 16 steps, no more.

the DS-10+ will run on an older DS, but it'll detect the older hardware and disable access to Dual Mode, essentially giving you the original DS-10 functionality.

btw you can trust me on this as i've written an entire album using a DS-10

Thanks,

This contradicts what id heard earlier. Can anyone else comment?

DS10+ is meant for the DSi, I don't think it'll run on anything older than that.

Is anyone using DS10+ on a DS lite?

I believe it works, but am wondering if the 32 step feature of the plus edition is availible on the DS lite?

Saying that, when I had a DS10 before, I tried to download a dodgy copy of DS10+ to test out the extra feature, but could never find a working ROM; so in fact im not really sure if DS10+ really works with the DSlite at all.

Shed any light on this for me?
