Rytmik Review
by Lucas M. Thomas - IGN.com | 27 August 2010 12:00Turn the beat around.
If you're a DSi owner and you're the least bit musical, you've really got no excuse not to have downloaded at least one of these robust digital synthesizer apps for your system -- we've been getting tons of them lately. Abylight's Music On series, Rhythm Core Alpha and even XSEED's KORG-10 titles released on physical cartridges all offer ways to lay down tracks on the go, serving as portable, miniature music studios to capture your creativity when you're far away from your home suite of tech.
Rytmik, from Cinemax, now offers one more -- and it may be the best one yet. This latest competitor has an even more fleshed-out set of instruments and options to work with, comes pre-loaded with over a dozen different example tracks that you can examine to learn the ropes of the interface and then modify to your liking, and puts more focus on pre-made samples instead of individual beats. It's much easier to create a composition that sounds really good with this one, as the developers have done a lot of the advance work for you -- you don't have to tap out all the individual notes one at a time.
Closing Comments
There's still one thing that's holding back all of these synthesizer applications, though -- there's never any tutorial. If any company actually shipped one of these designs with full, step-by-step instructions to teach newbies how to start making music, it could dominate this category. As it is, Rytmik and all the rest in this group still demand an existing degree of musical skill to be able to appreciate and understand.
