That looks Awesome and fun! Might have to get one of these and a monotron. hmmm.
I'm holding off as I'm not sure that if I get a DSi I'll use it for much else than a few music apps, which is a lot to pay £100 for.
As for the monotron, it is great to play around with.
I finally got around to picking this up. It's 500 points on DSiWare (or $5 US dollars for me).
It's a basic grid sequencer but there's lots of sample based instruments to choose from. However, the resolution on the samples is very low so everything has kind of a buzzy quality to it. It would probably be good for some chip-tunes as long as you don't mind the gritty quality.
There's a surprising amount of editing features. Note lengths can be drawn on the grid, and you can choose between eight or so volume settings for each note. There's no panning of instruments that I can see at this point.
You only have eight instruments active at any given song, plus twelve individual drum samples. Some of the instruments sound quite nice, while others sound like bad FM equivalents of their namesakes.
Rytmik is being released tomorrow on DSiWare in the US, so I'm very much looking forward to purchasing that as well and comparing the two to see how they fare up. The little I've seen of Rytmik reminds me of the Nintendo homebrew program called Nitrotracker. I'll write more when time allows.
