nanoloop for Android

Very small learning curve for people that understand ADSR and synthesis / sequencing at a general level. Getting “quick” at plowing down an idea on this app takes practice as you develop the muscle memory, like any musical interface. Love everything about this app! It provides just enough to feel basic while surpassing something like a “toy”. This app is capable of generating full length, semi-mixed tracks. Or layers. Or one-shots. Really capable. Until you want to export. EASIEST, SIMPLEST thing is just to save your .nan files for recall within the app, ignore every other glitchy option, AND RECORD SOUNDS OUT THE Android > dongle > auxiliary > 1/4” mono splitters > Interface/DAW/8track/vhs/whatever lol p Maybe an in-depth guide to exporting could help. Please though an update with levels & easier exporting would be so appreciated. I bought this and gifted it to someone, who doesn’t care too much because of how difficult it is to export on new iPhones. Love u guys and would gladly py for this app again if the end-game features worked as advertised. 💖 I swear I’ll press the same save twice and this app will output .nan usually with the occasional successfully sequenced .wav.

Loving the app so far, really dynamic synths and easy to pick up and sketch. I think the save feature is broken though, it keeps crashing when I hit the save menu.

Thanks to the super-smart UI, the most usable “all-in-one” groovebox I’ve found for Android. Seems limited at first, but each of the sound modules has real depth! Comparison to the Elektron workflow is accurate, as some have stated before. My one gripe / feature request would be to improve the “looping” mode in the sequencer. I’m much more likely to want a 2-bar pattern than a 4-bar. And maybe I want 3 or 5? I know I can copy paste, but this doesn’t really work for live performance / kills the vibe when composing. A simple slider interface for number of bars (1-8) would be much better. Also while we’re complaining, maybe a filter for the sampler module? ;-) pretty please (would make sampling straight from the mic a lot more usable). Again, lovvvve this app, literally making an album entirely in nanoloop right now!

Having trouble playing samples. I upload .wav files into file sharing through iTunes to nanoloop, but not all samples are available. I know you guys are working to fix this due to sample rates. They populate into the load browser, but do not play or create a waveform. Please fix! Also, can you guys add a sample slicer that chops to pads? Doesn’t have to time-stretch. But I think this would be an awesome addition to nanoloop.

Such a beautiful minimal appearance! The app designer should get a prize for how much functionality is packed into an uncluttered and easy to use interface. Completely usable on my tiny Android without any difficulty. Rest assured that it’s not a toy, though. I actually prefer this to more full featured sequencers because of the all in one interface design in which all note parameters can be adjusted from the main grid. 👏👏 The learning curve was not too bad, even for me (I have the bad habit of refusing to look at any documentation). If there’s one tiny con, it’s that there is no way to get a satisfying drum sound easily, the ‘noise’ mode is okay for this, but a dedicated choice would have been nice. But ... for other instruments, it has both PWM and FM, and they can be layered! The decay shape is not changeable, but that would be another control, and perhaps it’s not worth it to clutter up such a clean interface. TLDR: Get it, spend some time with it, and you’ll love it!
