Nintendo DS + The Korg MS-10 = A Synth In Your Pocket
The classic Korg MS-10 synthesizer is the drum machine behind tons of music from the A Flock of Seagulls to Goldfrapp. Now a version of it is going to be released on the Nintendo DS.
This hasn’t much to do with training your brain and body but it clearly shows the potential for these sort of devices as music makers. Converting this technology into a game that teaches rhythm and basic music skills is certainly possible. These skills, or their lack, have a connection to learning difficulties and an accessible game targeting them could be be one more weapon in the education system’s arsenal.
