His misunderstanding of the software before he bought it was about as quick as a rock. The Electroplankton website has a perfect demo online demostrating what each plankton does. Electroplankton is an instrument. There is no question of this. However, it's scales and note banks are all locked down but very friendly. In an ideal world we would have access to change the actual notes available in the 'pools'. Maybe this will be hacked by some homebrewsters tho. Check out Toshio Iwai's Tenori-On being manufactured by Yamaha. It shares some of the same prinicpals but is hardware based and entirely customizable. The first comment is wrong.

With the launch of the Nintendo Wii just around the corner, will you purchase one? If so, what are you most looking forward to about the system? Hi everyone.
With the launch of the Nintendo Wii just around the corner, will you purchase one?
If so, what are you most looking forward to about the system?

This same game description has been posted on other sites, and I bought it thinking I was in for a new musical experience. Whoever wrote that description, and dared use phrases such as "score music" (which by the way is pure false advertising) and "engrossing beats and harmonies", obviously doesn't know anything about the word music, or hopes that any who read the article are under the age of 6. By engrossing beats, it means a small group of cheap premade beats that you have no control over whatsoever, with nintendo ds sound quality, that automatically play with 1 of the 10 electroplankton. Some of the other electroplankton consist of dragging ur stylus to play random notes with no real controllable rhythm. The only electroplankton that gives u any sort of control over making a song ( because it is literally impossible to make a "song" with any other electrplankton), is hanenbow, which is a group of leaves being hit with plankton that u launch out, and the pitch of the sound(a sound u cannot change) is controlled by where the plankton hits the stem of a leaf. It's creative, but only a fool would actually consider electroplankton "music making software". It's a shallow toy, and anybody who produces music in real life would have nothing to do with this after 10 minutes.
