DS-10 - The most annoying MP3s you will ever listen to.

So last friday I got together with Wilson and Patrick and noodled around with the Korg DS-10. The results were pretty hard to listen too as we spent most of the time just trying to figure out what all the knobs did, as can be seen in this video:

But eventually we got it up and running well enough to at least record something. I haven't edited any of it down or anything, but you can find the results below. Hopefully we'll get something more listenable up soon.

Great audio resource for indie game developers.

I got tipped off about this site from Dave Wilson. He could kind of be viewed as my resident "Flash / Indie Development" insider.

Anyway, he forwarded over a link to 8-Bit Rocket. This is a pretty useful site. The main draw is that it has a bunch of fair use samples for use by indie game developers. The songs are all really great (although the samples are attempting to open in Quick Time, but I know several of my regular readers are big iTunes users...so that should be a problem for "those types").

The site also contains some excellent tutorials detailing some programing tips and tricks for adding the audio into your games, as well as a well written blog and some links to games that use the audio.

The danger of a site like this is that the sounds would become ubiquitous and played out. But the first time I listened to several of them, I was defiantly impressed.
