Paul Cooke Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Just treated my daughter to a Guitar Hero DS Lite package as a post exam present and also got her the "Jam Sessions" game... it's more than a game, it's a fantastic tool for roughing out songs with and knocking up professional sounding jam tracks... here's a youtube by the "games's" designer...

The DS package I got my daughter is the Guitar Hero package... the DS has the GH logo on the case... GH is a little weird... you get a little keypad adaptor that slots into the case and has a velcro tab you use to secure the DS in your palm with the fingers of your left hand resting on the four buttons. You use a large pick shaped stylus to trigger the notes using the one screen while the song notes come down the other screen...

Stan_da_man Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Do not buy Electroplankton - it is good for about 10 mins. then it gets very boring. I traded my copy in after 1 week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilSmile Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I use electroplankton and jam sessions in this experimental, electro band i'm in. you can get some really cool sounds from them. The best sound you get are when your just messing about, we've had some great laughs preforming with just ds for some songs. also that Tenori-On looks really cool might need to look into that more.
