Just got a PO-20; TE sent me one in return for making a video using the PO-12 in sync with nanoloop 
It's interesting. I'm not sure how much I'll use it but it may come in useful for some quick sketching of ideas. I'll probably end up making another video with it though, since it's hilariously easy to come up with something cool from scratch.
Awesome!
wow, that is awesome. I didn't even know it existed! I'm definitely gonna have to keep an eye out for one of those
this is wicked!
personally, I'd probably introduce more volume variation to those hihats but it's a cool repetitive banger.. I'm glad there's some good nanoloop tech stuff coming out lately
the overdrive actually sounds pretty nice! I'm actually tempted to start running my own stuff through a light overdrive because nanoloop just sounds so great when driven a little. Even the built-in overdrive when sounds get a little too loud is almost like analog drive..
I can't make it down this weekend :-(
I'll be heading up to Pixel Sounds the following weekend though.
Ah dang. I need to buy you a beer or equivalent sometime just for being a total champion. One of these days I'll play another gig in NSW..
This weekend!!!! Who's going?
I am of course! Are you?
I'm happy to delete/ban spam during my active hours in Australia if anyone wants to grant me mod powers..
ah, good call, the MIDI Bastl looks great!
Ahhh, the pieces fall into place. Thanks so much Oliver, for being the first person to actually explain what needs to be done
So all I need to do for MIDI is connect the IN and OUT pins, or just OUT? I'll give that a try with my other hardware when I have time.
I wonder if it's possible, then, to have an arduino convert nanoloop analog clock/MIDI clock to MTC? Or perhaps it's just easier for the arduino to be master, with some kind of control for tempo, and then it sends out both MTC and analog clock? A raspberry pi with specialised auto-run software with the sole intention of controlling tempo via one external knob sounds a bit like overkill..
- you're supposed to buy the OPlab.
haha damnit, maybe I should just bite the bullet at some point and do that. Some of the other features do sound pretty great.
Hey everyone, hope that title was descriptive enough. Basically I have a sudden and irrational desire to sync my OP-1 with nanoloop and/or pocket operators. Currently, the only device on the market that can do something similar is the Oplab, which is unnecessarily expensive for what I want to use it for. (having said that, the sensor inputs are intriguing..)
I essentially just want one box that will either provide sync, or take OP-1's tempo setting and allow nanoloop to sync to it, or vice versa (really, I'd love it if I could control the tempo using nanoloop!).
I've seen the page on the nanoloop site that refers to sync, and MIDI capability, but I can't seem to wire the cable up correctly; the instructions seem incomplete—it shows where to wire the IN and OUT pins, but what about GND? I tried using the middle pin and shield for GND with the IN and OUT pins wired as shown but it didn't work with any of my MIDI devices, as slave or master.
Anyway, I'm thinking that a nice solution would be to program something for arduino plus USB host shield—I already have an arduino duemilanove—that would allow me to plug the OP-1 in to the USB host, and run a sync pulse out of something on the device for nanoloop. Unfortunately, my knowledge of arduino code is nonexistent, and any tutorials I can find aren't quite what I'm looking for.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that'd be amazing, since I really have no idea if it's even possible. To be clear, I currently don't have an ipad and don't plan on buying one any time soon; I have a super cheap android tablet but I couldn't get the USB host mode working on it. Another option may be to use raspberry pi, but something dedicated would be a much better option. I thought about using something like the Kenton USB host thing, but am concerned that the OP-1 will send more data than just sync and may throw nanoloop off.
I also have the nanoloop USB-MIDI adaptor, but I'm not sure if it's possible to somehow connect that to the OP-1.. I'm guessing a USB host would have to act as a hub in order for it to work?
I want to plug it to my gears : Elektron stuff, volca and nanoloop gba sp.
...
At the end this project will have the look and feel of an Elektron gears on a PC ( with midi knob and button ). It will keep the nanoloop look and feel and shortcut but with midi knob
I am very interested! I love Elektron gear and nanoloop
If you write most of your tracks in D or A minor, rather than C major, it's not too bad, but yeah it's a bit of a silly restriction. It would have been nice if the scale could at least be transposed up/down without using up the effect slot.
The PO-12 (rhythm) has two micro synths that can play a full chromatic scale, but they're limited in sound.
Thanks for the nice words everyone!
Three tracks of minimalist techno/idm. Each piece was created on the fly, with minimal edits. 100% nanoloop 2.7.8 on a dark blue Game Boy Micro.
yeah, I consider myself to be an anti-purist with most genres
