oh oh oh, I have a question, how fast is the caanoo browsing folders with lots of samples? PSP is sloooooow.
Compared to the PSP, the Caanoo is lightning fast. I have like 4gb of samples on my usb-stick, and a lot of them are loops and big samples and still they load really fast.

I have not had it crash, like, ever. It works solid! Used it in a couple of gigs.
If you are having battery issues, consider contacting GPH, because some of the models went out with shitty batteries, and they will replace it for you at no charge. Finding a contact to sort this out is nigh on impossible, so mail Ellie at yj0424 }47{ gp2x }d0†{ com and tell her your problem.
Thanks a lot for the info! The crashes (like the two I had) happen only when I load a big sample and change pages too fast... So it's ok.
And the battery is no issue really. I never charged it fully, since I had to keep it plugged in to laptop all the time but then I realized that I can use my Iphone charger for it. 
Derp...
1) I know rhinostrich has been playing live sets using only 2 caanoos and says they're pretty stable.
2) Next release of piggy (when? idk, but it will be SOON) will fix the screen cutoff issue by moving the text down a bit so no need to wait for a caanoo firmware fix on that one. Also, apparently there's some sort of crash when you exit piggy that has been fixed.
Thanks for the infos, makes me want a caanoo even more!
Ok, good to know that they're stable in a livesetting.
Screen and exit crash will be fixed? AWESOME!!! Hope it gets released soon!
I'd say get one, because they're not that expensive on Ebay anymore. ;D
Nanoloop 
Awesome and inspiring sounds!
Wouldn't surprise me if mine would do that too, since the NL2.5's are FUBAR anyways....
one important thing: NEVER have DS flash card (r4, acekard, etc) in the DS at the same time as nanoloop 2.x...supposedly, oliver fixed this bug, but there was an issue before where this combination could result in a full wipe of your nanoloop cart data and it is probably best to not risk it
Holy sh*t, I didn't know that... He seemed to have fixed it, because mine still works. Going to take out my R4 right now.
After having used my Caanoo with LGPT intensively for the last week, I can only conclude that it's an awesome device. LGPT loads immediately, sampleload is very quick (even with long loops), the analog stick feels great (sometimes it goes a bit too fast, but that happens rarely), the sound is nice and it was easy as pie to 'install'. And the best part is that I'm running LGPT (and my samplelibrary) from a USB-stick perfectly!
The shoulderbuttons don't annoy me as much as I've read about, so that's cool.
Some minor points: batterylife isn't that great (if compared to my 4 year old DS Lite who still holds a charge for at least a week...), LGPT sometimes chrashes so saving constantly is required and a small part of the screen is cut off by the Caanoo's screen (which hopefully will be fixed with a firmwareupdate or something)
Conclusion: a very awesome way of portable tracking. The 'expensive' price might keep some people from buying this one, and go for the Dingoo but it seems like the Caanoo outperforms both the PSP (seen one in action) and the Dingoo (read about). Plus, it's just awesome to be able to run LGPT from a USB-stick!
Just a question: have anyone of you who has a Caanoo played live with it? Because the rare crashes makes me a bit jumpy to perform live with it...
Just my two cents.
PS: I'm in no way, saying that Dingoo's or PSP's are inferior. So correct me please if I'm wrong.
I use a DS Lite too, and I love it. The sound is perfect, it has two backlit (frontlit, no idea..) screens and despite it's size it's still portable. Mine after 4 years of heavy use still has awesome batterylife. And the best part about Nanoloop 2.5 is that you actually only need one cart to make seamless mixes!
The only annoying thing about using a DS Lite with Nanoloop 2.5, is the cart sticking out.
But yeah, I'd say go for the DS Lite.
Offtopic: so that means you'll start writing some awesome Dubtunes on Nanoloop 2?
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you just gotta you guys!!!!!
I'll definitely download it when it comes out! Cool stuf!
Link is f¨¨ked up, it gives me this: http://<strong>http//xgetrealx.bandcamp.com/%3C/strong%3E
The music sounds quite cool, actually. Pretty raw.
First song was a bit too sweet for me, but the second one blew me away and from there on it gets better and better!
This soars above most debut efforts...it's obvious you put effort into it! Some really dope skwomping man.
Yeah, I agree! Really awesome debut. Drums could indeed be a bit heavier, but that's just a detail. ;D

Thanks a lot man!!! Worked like a charm!
I'm a proud piggyuser too now. Got a Caanoo. BUT now I can't figure out how to change the theme for LGPT... For some reason the config that came with the Caanoo release (which I downloaded from Yahoo groups) doesn't have any info about the theme and when I put one of the themes from this thread in the config it doesn't change anything. Halp?
This sounds really good, actually! Nice transitions and mix of styles!
