So either a less sensitive swipe (you must swipe longer on left or right) and / or an option to disable it completely would be useful.

I've found this great tutorial on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdlJuojjuUg but I can't find any good manual / cheatsheet for nanoloop on android / iOS, are you aware of one?

(so here the feature request is a more complete manual)

Yes it was not well written, but the idea is simple.

You set global sound parameter for the first track and it sound nice to you. You want to stick with this sound but change parameter for each step.
You begin with the decay parameter.
You want it, sometime really short, sometime really long.
In this case, the interface allow you to only increase the decay parameter per step, you can not decrease it.

The obvious workaround to this is to set the decay to 0 to the track sound and set it manually for each step.
But it is not the same feeling, and it take more time for the user, so in the end, it is less used...
What could be really good, is "a kind" of bipolar value for the parameter change by step (-128,+128), not a (0,+128) like it is done today. I think you understand what I mean here. It is just ease of use.

In the end I think, people don't use this "parameter lock" feature to it's full potential.

Just a brief thougt, you could just let the per-step parameter override the instrument parameter, instead of adding. That would make it easy to set to zero (but that would essentially be"off" too, so, that might be a problem). As for precision, I've found on iOS that it's just best to decrease the sensitivity of the control; yeah it takes longer to get to 0 or 127, but the increased precision is worth it.

Of course you could also do some clever thing, where you change the precision based on swipe-speed. That would be killer.

i don't want some extra device or bulky add-on. i want a cheap, lightweight sleeve that primarily serves as sleeve but has some flat buttons on it. i don't want expensive electronics in it, no special hardware, just some passive buttons for regular touch events. nor do i want a game boy emulator.

i'm surprised that this doesn't exist. maybe time for another kickstarter.

It works great with gameboy games for example. It doesn't support the phone, but you can reuse a table for this purpose wink

But I think people will enjoy most with this kind of stupid cheap bluetooth controller :

https://m.french.alibaba.com/p-detail/I … directed=y

It seem to be supported by lots of emulators, it is bluetooth, so no worry with current hardware android/ios and physical spec of the phone.
You feel at home with real pad if you can put a whatever phone on it. Today I think a 100$ whatever brand phone can run nanoloop android smoothly.
And a 20$ pad will not affraid anyone.
There is a ps3, xbox360 standard today, so I think with a simple "learn" menu you are in.
And this kind of controller is available on any tech shop today.

I have tried with a button pad from a pocket calculator, which did not work immediately. But if you connect the conductive ball to some bigger inductor (such as your finger), it works fine.
