Hi guys,

Here's a quick overview of what dSTAR is (from the readme at http://www.collinmeyermusic.com/dsmidi/dSTAR/readme.txt):

NOTE: dSTAR requires a self made MIDI cartridge. details on how to build one are at http://www.collinmeyermusic.com/dev/

dSTAR is the first MIDI sequencer for the Nintendo DS. dStar aims to be an x0x style sequencer
with unique music programming capabilities. With drawable modulation tracks and quick tap
beat entry, dSTAR takes advantage of the Nintendo DS's touchscreen to become a tactile
yet endlessly redefinable user experience.

Features in beta 8112006:
-3 drawable, freely assignable MIDI CC "Modulation Sequence" lines.
-1 note (beat) track with drawable per note velocity.
-"soft" keyboard for assigning notes.
-Individual track length for complex beat generation.
-"Play effects" allow reverse sequence play and jump back on the fly.


Features not yet implimented:
-3 additional sequence pages allowing 4 note tracks total and 12 mod sequence lines.
-Per step note length
-Pattern save and recall.
-Quick pattern switching.
-Pattern Chain.
