About nanoloop
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
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.

- Send and receive .nan as email attachments
The "send" function now sends .nan files as actual attachments. Files can be handled like any other attachment, they can be saved on a PC and also be opened in the Android version and vice versa. This feature is only available on iOS 3.2 or higher. On older versions, you can still send files URL-encoded.
- Open .nan files anywhere
Nanoloop is added to the "open in" dialog. When you open a .nan file in Safari, Mail, Dropbox or any other app that can present an "open in" dialog, nanoloop starts and imports the file.
- Share .nan files with Dropbox and others
If file sharing apps like Dropbox are installed, there is a "share" function that allows to open .nan files in compatible apps.
- Share WAV Exports
If compatible apps are installed, an "open in" menu will appear after WAV export, allowing to open the exported file in any app that can open WAV files.
- Bugfix
Notes with very low volume are not muted anymore.

For better iOS5 compatibility, it was necessary to reduce the row height in the file lists. Height may be increased again in future updates.
The old default instruments can be found in "default old.nan". If you save this (or any other project) as "default", it will be used as template for new projects.

Volume can now be edited separately from additional parameter in sequencer. The additional parameter values from the sequencer get added to the synth values (instead of multiplied), which makes sequencing more intuitive and allows a greater range for lfo frequency.
Idle timeout is disabled, iPhone does not switch to standby while nanoloop is running.
