Doc Pop Nanoloop tutorial

5/8/2014

2 Comments

 
This was sorely needed!
Here is a very clear concise tutorial on how to use Nanoloop.
It has not really existed any tutorial for the Android / iOS version until now and as it could be confusing to learn before the update, with the new version I can imagine that it became very confusing for the novice. The only tutorials that existed have been for the Gameboy version that do not look the same and have some different functions and I remember learning from them but with the prize of a lot of head scratching!
Even if you think that you know Nanoloop it can be good to read the manual if you didn't as there is some functions that are important but not too obvious.

Ahhh gotta love the Nanoloop!

Nanoloop update

This is not a big update but just wanted to reflect a bit...
After the last big update which offered a big improvement it is funny that he had to backtrack a bit as he had changed the sound of the filter a bit, purists got upset and he changed it back. In this update he have remodelled the filter again to make it closer to the original Gameboy version. So I guess now you can fool any purist with your Android device!
Another thing to take into consideration is that you can actually buy a secondhand Gameboy for almost nothing. A short research on available Gameboys in the City I live in 
( Valencia, Spain ) there is about ten / fifteen Gameboys to be had from ten euros to about 25 euros. Plus that you can get the Nanoloop cartridge that the developer is still producing for around 30 € and up. 
So for not too much money you can go Chiptune visually to, 
waving a Gameboy in the air...

Nanoloop expanded with a lot of extra goodness!

I was happy some time ago when there was a new Nanoloop version in Beta as was thinking 
that maybe the developer had given up on keeping the Android version going! 
Was even more happy trying the Beta version finding out that it was not a small cosmetic change 
but a real one with many new functions.
The most exciting one being the ability to automate any controller on any note on any of the eight sound generators and in a very easy way that makes way for experimentation and fun. 
Having eight tracks instead of six and having six seconds of mono sampling time 
(instead of like before one second) does not hurt.
One thing more that is very nice is that if you tried it before and found it confusing it is now easier to understand as you now only have to press and hold an icon and there will be a description of what it is.
When I first got Nanoloop it was not easy to understand everything, as it looks cryptic and does come with it's own personal interface that is not used by any other music application or program in general 
(that I know about).
Not having much of tutorials for the Android version had to learn from the Gameboy tutorials that existed, 
in either case now it is easier to learn / figure Nanoloop out.
One last thing is that Nanoloop is great for older devices as well so if you have an older device it still have at least one very good multi track / sequencer / synthesizer / sampler application that it can run.
Here is the update info:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- per-step control for all parameters
- variable pattern length
- 8 channels
- 6 seconds sample length (mono)
- fine-tune samples
- filter resonance
- more "gain" range
- soft clipping
- adjustable font/icon size
- new layout
The interface has been simplified, there are no more triple-taps, double taps are not needed either, except for panning.
In most cases, a long press on an icon reveals info and/or a menu.

 Just saying that Nanoloop is for much more textures than just chiptune as is evidenced in these 32 short tracks by iello. Just listen to these sad mournful tones...

Nanoloop gets a big makeover - Now in BETA

One of my favorite applications gets even better.
Have had some time to use the BETA and think that it will be out soon as even though I have not played with  a lot it does seem to be very stable.
It will contain eight tracks, step automation of all the synthesizer parameters, longer sample times from 1/2 second stereo / 1 second mono to three and six seconds, some improvements in the synthesizer engine. But the biggest visible improvement is the interface as everything is easily reached and it definitely feels much easier, if you already are using Nanoloop you will be happy and if you are beginning to use Nanoloop it is now much easier to get into.
Not only is there more parameters reachable but as before there was many functions that needed two or even triple clicks that is not needed anymore. 
Personally what makes me most excited is the automation possibilities.

Always liked Nanoloop and thought that it was such a nice application but as the developer is more concentrated on the actual production and sale of physical cartridges of Nanoloop (at least that is my impression...) for Gameboy was never thinking of the possibilities that an update like this would happen. Maybe something small to keep up with newer devices but nothing more.
If you have Nanoloop you could sign up for BETA testing now. 
If you do not have Nanoloop you know that you have to get it Update or not!
As said before this is excellent on a new device but it will also prolong and give use to your older devices as the developer said that the new version should still be working on 
Android 1.6! 
So many exciting updates of my favorite applications coming 
and now Nanoloop added to that list!
Happy times!

Nanoloop and Paulstretch for a scary ambient night

Children of the night maybe here you can find dark musical caresses in any sound...

Well forgive for posting about Paulstretch here 
but as an excuse Nanoloop was used as example.
Paulstretch have been out now for about three years and is one of those amazing softwares that is maybe made more amazing as it is for free. 
If you never heard of it before or never tried it it is something that should be on your computer as it works really good and can do things that no other software that I know about can do-
It can stretch audio like nothing else- 
it can stretch a second to lifetimes of listening!
It comes with a fair amount of different parameters to play with 
even functions for binaural beats.
It got some attention some years ago when somebody took a Justin Bieber song 
and stretched it out for an ambient half hour excursion- 
now there is a crazy amounts of videos/music being Paulstretched- 
here is one that caught my attention-
Personally really like to stretch out string quartets- 
as strings are really nice for stretching as is choirs...

Also prepared some samples using a 12 second piece composed 
and totally unmixed on Nanoloop, 
then stretching it to 20 seconds- one minute- thirty minutes.
Remember all of this is unmixed and if you just apply a bit of mixing you have something really nice. 
Almost couldn't resist to at least cut out some bottom end but was thinking it is nicer to hear everything unprocessed and you get the idea of where you can go from here.
So now if you are in hurry to release a lot of music for a horror movie... fret no more!

As the last week started another one of my lazy side-projects, 
to translate homemade fingerstyle guitar pickins to Nanoloop on the phone, 
lead me to acquaint myself again with the dirty  brilliance that is Nanoloop.
Was thinking that of course  you to want to hear some digital grit and get inspired...
Go to Nanoloop collective and hear some singles and albums that's been made:

http://www.nanoloopcollective.com

If you haven't played with Nano loop 
and are searching for true four bit feeling in your music you can't go wrong with Nanoloop, 
and you will be surprised how deep the application really is, 
recommended is to read through the manual as there is tricks in there that is not so obvious.
Made the mistake myself of thinking that there was less to it than it is when I got it.

Of course it has export to Wav so you can continue your funtime somewhere else.

SULUMI BIG FAN OF NANOLOOP

2/21/2013

0 Comments

 
This chinese electronic musician is one of many that have taken Nanoloop and used as a basis for music composition, 
if you're a purist it should be done with a game boy,
but just do it on the phone and if some god damn hipster asks you- 
just lie.
