German computer-magazine c't has reviewed it. Problem is: You can not export anything when not using earphone jack. a shame. Tha programme itself is very, very good. even for a synthesizer. DS at it's best! They like the DS programme a lot. almost fully grown.
I find your lack of faith disturbing!

I've been tinkering with the Japanese version since it launched a month or so ago...it's pretty much all in English already, so easy to use. Very impressive little programme!
