  • update crashes

    My nanoloop on itouch IOS5 was working great until the update, now it just crashes upon opening. I am very sad I use it everyday to make slammin tunes.
    Scott can you please fix. This app has the best synth engine around and the GUI is very nice to work with, when it worked.
  • Cannot open files (crashes); all instruments are the same

    I've bee using nanoloop for almost a year now (love it!), but this recent update is causing some issues for me in iOS 4.3.1. (Perhaps these issues don't occur in iOS 5, but I don't know.)

    When I press "open", the app crashes. In addition, all of the instruments (for lack of a better name, perhaps "synths") are named "...", have the same defaults (even clap), and act exactly the same (even clap).

    The new icon's nice, though!

  • small program of epic proportions

    i had held out on buying cartidge versions of this for years due to the difficulty of saving and exporting song files, and am glad i did because this iOS version is absolutely flawless. simple yet deep interface allows for immediate fun music-making, or years of fiddling. I'm psyched to finally be making music with nanoloop

  • Grid

    Nice little step sequencer in a grid pattern. With the included parameters, one is able to make a bunch of groovy and grainy sounds. Excited to see how this thing progresses...wouldn't mind seeing some funky effects, more parameters for sound manipulation, and the ability to more easily spit out each section as a separate sound to your computer. A mixer and more live features might be cool too. How about Nanoloop Pro? As is, it's still great and an awesome bargain for the current price.

  • Worth $9.99 easily.

    Great app. I didn't even have to check out the manual to figure out the mechanics, but having it in the app for reference is great. I only wish the Gameboy version wasn't so expensive so those of us on a more limited budget could afford them, but this is every bit as versatile only lacking the GB nostalgia.

  • Best and most powerful app around

    I've been tinkering with Nanoloop for more than 5 years on a gameboy. I downloaded it on iPhone and soon realized this is perfect for the iPad. The minimal UI allows it to scale up to iPad size without looking like garbage. The experience on iPad is second to none and exponentially increased my understanding of the program. I'm a developer and Nanoloop is my touchstone.

  • Love this new version!!

    Oliver has done a fantastic job turning his classic Gameboy synth cart/game into an easy to use app. Plus this one has some great new features. My 1st gen iTouch doesn't record audio so I haven't used the sampler to record, but i'm looking forward to importing some short clips and playing with those, too! -- looking forward to song imports from a new forum :)

  • Minimalistic but very good sounding

    A new way to do sequences with 6 generators
    I was able to produce good sequences in short time
    Sound shaping parameters are very useful
    A tube drive is built in so increasing volume brings a nice tube effect to the mix, Swing function is good too
    As other apps in this category, this needs some better pattern editing such as transposing bar or pattern
    Adding more effects would help too
    Using colors and different aspects of ipad form factor would help with easy-of-use
    Also iPad display brings another dimension to user experience and that is not utilized. Like there could be on-display help when. A button Is pressed. I kept going to PDF to read instructions

  • Review about octaves and note length incorrect

    The step editing is very deep. Nanoloop allows you to edit almost every parameter in each step. Octaves can be adjusted for every new 16 step sequence. This app has so much going on, and it takes a bit of time to learn it's true power.
  • Easy Transition

    After playing with it for a couple of hours I could tell this app had a lot of potential. It's all made by a very skilled developer devoted to his users.

    Coming from NL 2.3 on gba made it really easy to learn how to use it. The simplistic style and power this app and it's predecessors on gameboy have are unmatchable.

    Definitely check out their forums.
