Nanoloop combines sequencer, synthesizer and sampler in one package. It provides all functions for creating electronic music from scratch. - Easy to use sequencer, suitable for rhythm and melody - Automatisation of all parameters - 8 channels, each can be synth or sampler - 8 patterns per channel - Sample via microphone - Re-sample - Polyphonic FM-, PWM- and noise synth - Song editor with loop function - Send and receive projects via e-mail - WAV export - Sharing projects and audio in file sharing apps like Dropbox is possible when these apps are installed. - MIDI sync with other devices - Ableton Link The Synth Nanoloop's FM synth offers a maximum of flexibility within a small set of parameters. It comes with a stereo modulator detune effect and covers the typical clean bells and Rhodes-like sounds, spheric pads, thick beats and basses. The Sequencer The stepsequencer visualises the rhythmic structure in a compact 4x4 square matrix, making it very easy to lay out patterns. The Sampler Besides A/D envelope, loop function, start offset, tune and fine tune, the puristic sampler comes without effects. You can record up to 6 seconds via microphone or copy samples via iTunes. Share With nanoloop for iPhone, you can send your saved projects to other nanoloop users and your own PC via e-mail. If nanoloop is installed on the recipient's iPhone / iPod, she/he can simply tap on the file name in the received e-mail to start nanoloop and import the attached file so that it is available for editing. This makes collaboration very easy, multiple users around the world can work on the same project by simply e-mailing the file. Export Songs can be exported to a WAV file that is accessible via iTunes (simply drag & drop files in finder). The exported file is also copied to the clipboard so that it can be pasted in other apps that support pasting audio. If a file sharing app like Dropbox is installed, you can upload the file there.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: RapsoD at Free against nanoloop's $3.99.

On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
