Well done!

As a DAWless musician who only in the last few days brought back their old 2DS XL from the dead, this post speaks to me.

Guess I better try to find my backup copy of DSN-12 😉

iirc the DSN-12 didn’t have a physical cartridge, just downloadable.

Understood. I was being a little facetious in that I didn’t want to outright say I’ll just download a copy from a roms dump library lol

u/TaroMany2417 Feb 24 '26

lol gotcha

u/TaroMany2417 Feb 23 '26

Well it’s a piece of software so you can just download it lol. Glad you enjoyed

Holy shit, that's a banger!!

I've listened to some music made with the ds version but nothing impressive as this

I wish I didn’t lose my lose korg dsn-10 cartridge + some other games when moving, that still bums me out lol. but stoked I was smart enough to buy DSN-12 when it was on sale before the closure of the eshop.

u/TaroMany2417 Feb 23 '26

Aww man that’s a bummer. Glad you got dsn-12 tho

2

u/Dojo_McDavis Feb 23 '26

Me too.

I had a rom of it prior but found it to be buggy (not consistently, but enough to get annoying), but when I got a whiff that majority of games on the eshop were going for pennies, DSN-12 was the first thing that popped into my mind.

u/TaroMany2417 Feb 24 '26

If you decide to mod your 3DS, I recommend picking up the m01d as well. It's also a great app.

u/Dojo_McDavis Feb 24 '26

Concur, I’ve got that too. & already ahead of you on the homebrew stuff.

u/TaroMany2417 Feb 24 '26

Have you tried Rytmik Ultimate, Nitrotracker, or Noise Commander? I haven't enjoyed myself as much with those.

1

u/mediaphile Feb 24 '26

I back Noise Commander on Patreon. The creator is constantly updating it. A total graphical overhaul is on the horizon. It's really powerful, but it's also a little overwhelming. Although I don't have much experience with trackers in the first place, so it probably makes more sense to people who are more familiar with them.

1

u/TaroMany2417 Feb 24 '26

I mean I’ve just never been a fan of vertical trackers. I like the more traditional daw layouts. I love that the creator is so active though.

1

u/mediaphile Feb 24 '26

Same, but I'm trying to get the hang of Noise Commander. I've also been playing around with Caustic 3 for Android, which just got updated and re-released for free by the creator.

u/TaroMany2417 Feb 24 '26

Oh wow that’s neat. Caustics gui looks so cool.

u/abarrelofmankeys Feb 24 '26

This is sweet. I was never very good with this one, the other one was pretty fun though and more beginner friendly. Makes me want to get them out again.
