Good news if you're in the US, Rytmik is now available for the DSi. The Gadgetrock blog has more.

It looks interesting but I don't want to get it through DSIware.

Any reason?

I just downloaded Rytmik and it's a whole lot of fun. It's pretty straightforward. The app comes with a ton of pre-made sequences that you can drop in, but the fun starts when you create your own.

Each four-bar loop has four tracks, which can be shared between any instrument or rhythm sample. Each track can be panned in the stereo field and each sample can be tuned either by hand or using a built-in keyboard for lead lines (which have to be entered on the grid rather then played live).

There are a lot of drum samples to choose from, as well as lead sounds and percussion sounds. You can layer up to four tracks of loops to create a pretty dense sound.

I've only played with it for about a half hour but it's all pretty self-explanatory and accessible. It's 800 DSiWare points (or $8 US dollars for me), but it's a very solid piece of software and I'm very happy with it so far!

Mostly because I bought my DS because of homebrew, and Nintendo doesn't like flash carts.

I think Rytmik looks fun, but I don't to sign-up and buy a block of points bigger than what's required for one app. Eventually there might be more interesting apps on Dsiware and I will change my mind, but right now I prefer following what's going on the ds homebrew scene.
