NDS Jaka Jaka Music! - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» On an episode of Good Morning America back in October 2008, singer and songwriter India Arie appeared on the show for an interview with host Robin Roberts. During the interview, India whipped out a Nintendo DS fitted with a copy of Hiite Utaeru DS Guitar M-06 and started playing chords and assembled a tune in the space of seconds. During the interview, Ms Arie composed a song for Roberts who was recovering from breast cancer and India mentioned that she used the guitar software to compose songs.

   Since the release of Guitar M-06 in 2007, KORG DS and a DSi-powered sequel have become available for musicians to compose their melodies on the DS. In a few months, the creator of Guitar M-06 will release the next progression in their music game/composition software which is titled Jaka Jaka Music M-09. The free-play guitar software features six modulation effects and a recording function to save compositions to game card. Essentially then, two NDS units and copies of Jaka² can potentially be all that's needed for a pair of performance artists to become a street band. We'd advise them to lug out a pair of speakers if the acoustics on the street corner aren't up to the standards of Carnegie Hall.

   Unlike Guitar M-06 which was only a guitar simulator, Jaka Jaka Music also includes a rhythm game where players listen to a song selection from 1200 tracks. Players can strum a guitar or hit a virtual drum set during the course of the game in time to the stroke cues. The 1200 songs are simple renditions culled from the J-Pop, rock, folk, pop, animation, and classical genres.
