Hi Oliver,

is the a way to see some sync to external hardware on android? Or ableton link?

regards
Chris

ok

The new feature called "Step Pause" (Swiping left/right on a step activates step pause) is a cleaver addition and certainly useful in some occasion, but it can be a bit annoying when you don't need it, it means it can easily be accidentaly activated when you modify a note height. 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.

The android manual is very small, and not every aspect of the app is covered in it. 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)

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.

programming it is certainly nerdy, but the game boy itself is not.

Say the guy which develop the most amazing music handled software, developed, most of the time, on obsolete nerdy platform For music nerds

this is all too nerdy, not casual enough.
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.

This gamepad is very good, for under 3 € : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Mini-Wireless-Bl … 1813725688
It works great with gameboy games for example. It doesn't support the phone, but you can reuse a table for this purpose

yes this last one is really cool. I really like it.
But only ios...

Yes, there is some on the market.
But I think people will enjoy most with this kind of stupid cheap bluetooth controller :

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.

More like this, but a full sleeve:

I mean a simple sleeve with some silicone rubber buttons embedded that create touch events, without any electronics. 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.

The product is not in production, but this company seem to release lots of stuff. This one seem to be in developement and expect to ship in december :
