No, not "Kyuuseishu (???)" as in "messiah" but the company's certainly chosen a a pun as a title for their product. The Kanji literally means, "The Sound Savior".

Now you might wonder why you want this when your mobile phone or DMP can already record sound easily. So lets take a look at the features...

First of all, it can record up to 9 hours of sound onto the 512Mbit card which is 64MB of space. The table below lists the settings you can use and the varying length of sound you can store.

Secondly, it also makes use of a highly efficient codec to compress all the sound data you record which works particularly well with speech while, maintaining the same sound quality.

Once you play back sounds, Kyuuseishu will also interpolate your sound samples in real time when it's decoding them to filter out any of the mechanical noise caused by the DS, allowing you to listen to crystal clear sounds.

Finally, you can also multi-stream sound samples, add sound effects and do many other things that you would expect in a sound manipulation software.

The software is available from today and on the website, you can hear the difference yourself between a compressed ADPCM file and sound that is compressed by Kyuuseishu.
