DS, Korg DS-10's formant synthesis used to create Daft Punk vocals, general awesomeness
You know, sometimes at Engadget, we feel compelled to cover a story not because it's particularly new, or newsy, or relevant to the topics of the day. Sometimes, you just have to cover something because it's amazingly cool. Enter this completely awesome video from the musician Denkitribe, wherein the DS, Korg DS-10 software, the software's formant synthesis, and the natural talents of said musician are used to replicate the vocals from Daft Punk's hit "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger." There's not much we can put in text which this doesn't lay out in song. Check the whole thing after the break... you'll thank us later.

Then it sounds like you won't have a decade to spam us after all.
Just so you know, it doesn't matter how many engadget accounts you have, they can ban all of them in one go. Something to do with IP addresses I believe. And this is not the way to go about advertising your site. Everyone will hate it without looking at it, because you spammed it. Just a tip.
first.
pretty awesome.
Neat
Google, you seem desperate for attention- unlike the real Google. WHO ARE YOU!?!?!?!
Epic win
I was even listening to Daft Punk when I saw this article!
That's not awesome. That's HORRIBLE. Nails on a chalkboard horrible.
Ok, I hear Kayne West...
"Well DS Developer, I like your version of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and I am gonna let you finish coding... but my version of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" was the best version of all time"
:O
best use of a DS yet
I love my DS lite.
I'm looking for Mike, have you seen him? The last thing he said was something about his phone, then he went missing.
I dunno, I think video games are pretty cool.
What about Scribblenauts? I bought a DS for that!
there's already apps for iphone like this, but it just looks more fun with a stylus.
Good call, Mike! Why should anyone have a hobby if there's already an iPhone app that does the same thing!
I have an iPhone app that poops for me, but it just looks more fun with a stylus.
google, I am not even going to bother going to your website. anyone who spams their this everywhere doesn't deserve help. grow up or get lost.
Agreed, unfortunately. Luckily the bastid should get permabanned if anyone is awake at Engadget HQ on a Saturday night.
"that guitar is talking" simpsons
Nice
Nice work!
That video is awesome. Too bad it had to be ruined by a certain 2 g, 2 o, 1 l, and 1 e loser.
I wish I got a better education. I would love to be able to program something like that! AWESOME!
Like I said before google, wikipedia won that round. Better luck next time.
awsome. this is why i read engadget.
i wish i knew where you lived you slimy bastard.
yeah, how dare you read and enjoy engadget!
@andres
I guess there was a spammer/troll here that had its comments deleted...?
i know, i was just taking advantage of the comedic situation left behind
Google, we don't take kindly to your kind around here...
Good find.. between this and nitro tracker you could have a studio with nothing more than an army of DS's and a 8-track.
That was meant for Google, sorry.
He did a pretty damn good job actually, congrats. Although I was hoping this would be for some hack or something to input vocals, thus, the ds vocoder. Man someone should do that.
Sorry bout that! It was a reply to google's comments, but I guess that got screwed up.... Sorry!
I have wanted to buy this for awhile now..... no reason to stop me now....
hope I can create anything as half as good as that...
Hey google! It's called wikipedia, and it already won that battle. It's like trying to make a fantasy MMO after WoW. WoW won that round, so people need to beat actiblizzard at something else. Wikipedia beat you on this front, find something else. And yes, I visited your site, I'm sorry to say.
Wow. That dude is BANNED.
I don't really know what you were getting at with your reply to my post, but I didn't advertise shit. I assume you were just mistaken.
it's cool, i see it happened to some other people too. I didn't notice the google shit till I got your comment, hah. it's cool.
This is so cool, I just happened to be listening to Daft punk to when I pulled up Engadget and saw this.
@google
If you even reply to my comment I am pulling all of your information and killing your computer and your precious wurow.com!
I deleted them all! Don't want anyone going there. Peace.
Wow, all google's comments were removed already? That's fast. Now we all look crazy though. Replying to nonexistent people/ comments....
that was awesome!
You guys are all crazy..Stop hitting the smack and talking to imaginary posts.....
And now for a comment that actually relates to the story: I'd love to know how many hours were put into that. That's just pure commitment.
Oh, and the events of today will always be remembered on engadget as the day that google died, and no one who wasn't here for this will have a clue what anyone is talking about.
Wow, I... just wow.
Wow! I've always wondered how they do that...
Video Remix That was some Sick Shit!

ignorant comments like this are ridiculous. iphoners, do you really have a clue on comparing ds software with 3 dollar iphone apps. seriously!!???? the ds korg is a fully functional drum machine and sequencer. iphone has junky t-pain gimmick apps. when will iphoners educate themselves? this ignorance begets ignorance and after awhile, everyone owns an iphone and is happy with the inferior software, the restrictions (mms new!! haha. what a joke, pay for tethering, etc), and starts being happy to be just like everyone else with no individuality!!! get a ds, use a blackberry, create your own trends, and most importantly, support open source software!!!!!!!! real electronics fans who actually know how complex and clearly awesome the ds10 korg program is rejoice!!!
