    Rytmik is set to be the next title to bring music creativity to the mainstream via DSiWare. Developed by by Cinemax, Rytmik contains over 170 loops and samples of various instruments with controls to allow the player to fiddle to their hearts content. There will also be pre-made clips that are up for editing or players can use the music clips to create something entirely new.

    Rytmik is an application for creating rhythmical and melodic themes and for composing whole songs. Its user interface blends the fast and well-arranged interface of classic drum machines with flexible pattern interface of popular trackers and with modern sound library. It contains more than 170 carefully selected sound samples of drums, cymbals, percussions and bass and melodic instruments.


    With Rytmik you can quickly and easily create the basic building stone – an audio clip. It consists of musical notations for up to four instruments that you may transpose, select their location in the stereo field, and modify their volume, polyphony and echo. You may arbitrarily combine up to 128 such clips in four tracks and create complex pieces of music. Moreover you have a rhythm library and varied collection of 16 pre-made compositions at your disposal that you may quickly compose your own pieces from.


    Rytmik is not only for playing with sounds; in the hands of a skilful musician it can become a serious musical instrument – surprisingly powerful pocket music station. For the best musical experience we recommend connecting headphones or quality speaker system. You’ll become the king of the Friday party in no time…

    I like fiddling with Garage Band and Korg DS10, so I am think I have enough.  Still, depending on price, it may be okay.

    " This looks to be a lot more user friendly than Korg. "
    With my general lack of music ability, that could be a good thing.

    Korg is proper audio software that hasn't been dumbed down in the slightest, that's the issue for some owners who thought otherwise. Many haven't read the huge instruction manual that can be downloaded online also.  
     
    I might be interested if this cost 500.

    Korg wasn't that hard to understand, being able to pull off a sound that you have in mind is another thing though. Not to sure how much Korg cost now a days nor how much Korg Plus will cost but this will probably be less epensive then those and looks pretty fun for someone who is only after making some neat sounding songs on the train, bus or toilet.
