Nintendo are releasing a couple of music related apps for the DSi on September 3rd in Japan.
 
First up is the "Nintendo DSi Instrument Tuner" which as you will no doubt have guessed, is a program for tuning instruments. You play your instrument of choice into the DSi's mic, and the system reports by way of graphics on how out of tune the instrument is, allowing you to then fine tune with greater accuracy. The program also allows you to select between three different visual designs, set musical notes between letters and Do-re-me, and set base pitch between 435 and 445 Hz. 
 

 
There's also a mini game called Tuner Fight included. In this game, you attempt to pop balloons by playing the notes that are written on the balloons. 
 
The Nintendo DSi Instrument Tuner is priced at 200 DSi Points. No word on a Western release as of yet, but it does seem very likely.

Next up is the "Nintendo DSi Metronome", a 200 DSi Point program for setting beat and tempo.  This software allows you to switch between multiple designs, and also allows users to record their own customized sound to replace the default beat sound.  (I could so use this software, for this)
 


Nintendo is including a mini game with this software also. Titled Donkey Metronome, this game has players clapping in order to make Mario jump to avoid barrels that are tossed at him by Donkey Kong.

Metronome looks interesting. 
 
Don't need another tuner.

I see that Korg DS has dropped to $25US on import, so I may finally indulge in one of those. 
 
Oh, an LS, stop pretending to be street, your just embarrassing yourself  xD

You might want to wait a bit with that one Oldskool there is a new version of it coming out that has some DSi specific features

I added these application to the database yesterday but they could use some filling in if anyone has some time. I saw a video of "Donkey Metronome" yesterday also, it looks like a really fun bonus.

Yeah, I saw that and it explains the price drop.  Thing is, I won't be buying it at full price and I don't think I want to wait another 2 years for a suitable price.  I may still opt for the old one for price reasons - I don't know that the DSi extras will be worth the extra cost - although they do sound sweet - but another $20US?
