Cool! It’s confirmed the PS Vita will in fact be region-free! That’s straight from the horse’s mouth — @yosp — Shuhei Yoshida, President of Worldwide Studios, Sony Computer Entertainment.

What’s that mean? It means when the Vita is released in Japan first, on December 17th, you’ll be able to import that badboy across the border and not worry about region locked games or content.

Import a Vita from Japan, buy a game in North America, and everything’s gravy, baby.

Modelled after Andre Michelle’s ToneMatrix comes a PSP version from developer Babkock, which does pretty much the same thing … it’s a 16-step drum machine, letting you craft some pretty cool sounding beats.

From the README:

ToneMatrix is a 16-step drum machine. The Y (vertical) axis represents eight different sounds, and more than one can be played at a time. The X (horizontal) axis represents one measure in sixteenth-notes.

Select a node on the grid with the D-pad and the X button, and that sound will be played in time. Press O to stop/resume playing, and use /\ (triangle) to clear the grid.

Press START to use the menu, and use the D-pad to select a menu item or change a value (like the tempo), and X (cross) to confirm your choice. Press SELECT for help.

Perhaps next version we’ll be able to export our creations.
