Enjoying mine, especialy the led interface is a minimalist art piece. But i keep thinking that it is in desperate need of an OS update to get up to the functionality of nl 2.x

How is everyone going with their Nanoloop handheld? Has anyone updated the firmware? Is there even a new firmware available yet?

I like to hear myself talk.

Welcome to the internet

why are people arguing over a feature request?

Looks so cool! Hope the kickstarter is a great success

Save some money and get Bastl
This is what you are looking for (OK it has only 6 channels, but...)

Wait...it doesn't play Tetris?

Oliver's device was carefully designed for music-making, not Tetris-playing.

Each Volca sequencer is different, but each one does store sequences actually. You should get one if you've never used one of those either, they are very fun and have really immediate sequencers for jamming.

And yes, NL is much different than Volcas of course and this new handheld version looks extremely full featured, the sequencer in each version of NL is much more powerful than any Volca sequencer in most ways, but that is because it's extremely tightly integrated with the synth engine(s).

No combative, only constructive.
And no, I can't imagine getting CV outta this. But it could be used as a 16-out drum trigger pretty easily. I am guessing the volca can't store sequences though? I bet it doesn't come anywhere close to what NL is going to offer:

@Orgia Nah man I think you're applying my statement too broadly, and I didn't mean it combatively. I'm part of that "modders community" after all. You said earlier in this thread that you have never used nanoloop... so how do you know how intuitive it is versus a Volca? I would say that the NL interface is really wonderful and probably my favorite out of all my gear, but certainly the Volca interface is much simpler and more intuitive due to clear labeling and simple layout. NL interface is very minimalist, you definitely need to do some reading of the manual when first starting.

Are you thinking you would be able to mod this new handheld to use the full sequencer with multiple outs, note and parameter data that is sent out as CV, etc?

I suggested a Volca for a modular sequencer because they're inexpensive and I know that people have done simple MIDI out mods that allow you to use the nice multi-part sequencer with a modular, assuming you've got a MIDI to CV module. Not that I've done this personally, so take it with a grain of salt.

That may be true, but you may be also misunderstanding the modder's community at which this is directed. If in fact I am misunderstanding Nanoloop, then everyone who has ever prosound modded a gameboy is misunderstanding the purpose of it that children's toy.
Besides, I would much rather have the intuitive NL interface over a volca.

Plus, if I still have to modify the volca, then wut? XD

@Orgia I think you're misunderstanding what the purpose of nanoloop is. Wouldn't a modified Volca be a good fit if you're looking for something like this (a modular sequencer) for cheap?

Each one of those digital signals can be tapped into, buffered and patched into modulars. Sequencers with this many channels are not typically 100 bucks, let alone handheld!

I just realized that the signals aren't always propagating on these traces, for example when changing other parameters.
