Awesome, looks like I've got some downloading to do.

Also worth mentioning are Henry Homesweet's excellent improv recordings:

Not 100% nanoloop, but prominent enough (and awesome enough!) to be in this thread.

Yeah, tbh it'd probably be a 'best of the year' collection in my case, since I tend to only have one really good electronic jam every couple of weeks, but that's still good!

Oh, well my bandcamp and soundcloud are absolutely littered with examples, but I just recently stabilized sync between NL2 and my Beatstep Pro + MPX16 and it's kinda meh, a bit repetitive, but I was absolutely blown away at the time lol.

I also use a KP3 I got way after I put out that EP on all of my live jam sessions like this one

sweet! I'll have a listen through your bandcamp and soundcloud. Sounds like you've got a similar setup to my full setup (beatstep controlling microbrute, mini-kp2, electribe ES-1, monomachine, gameboys).

I like your bandcamp release schedule too; I should adopt something like that instead of slaving over perfect albums. Especially with my hardware setup, it seems more logical to just release monthly collections..

My first EP was nanoloop-only... well kinda. I have some post-proc to add in the 2 samples I use in the entire EP if that's all cool

I use mostly NL2 nowadays in conjuction with a sampler and sequencer, so I don't think those count lol

Awesome, I'll give it a listen!

Sampler + sequencer addition is good too; I'm interested in hearing that since I've been using nanoloop in sync with a monomachine.. but the new stuff I'm working on is NL2-only. Got a second cart on the way, as well as a NL1 cart—hopefully I can sync all three and make some lush minimal tech big_smile

Apologies if there is already a thread for this, but I'm trying to find as many albums made with nanoloop (either 1 or 2) as I can; I'm working on one and want some inspiration big_smile

I already have Cheapshot's Obsidian and Little-Scale's RIP 2.3 albums, both excellent, but need more!

Feel free to post your own albums/EPs!

Damn, I've got a SE M600i, but it runs UIQ3. I just got it working with Syntrax, but a real tracker would be hilarious. Is there any way to port it across to UIQ3?

the auto-accompaniment on old yamaha keyboards is often hilarious and usually the best bit. hours of fun to be had jamming out melodies over some old japanese man's idea of "country techno" or whatever.

haha, yup I've used the auto-accompaniment from my portasound for black metal; I'm surprised the tempo gets fast enough to emulate blast beats!

no way the first chiptunes was the volk music of the elder gods from our homeworld.

wrong again


birdsong was the first chiptune. single channel ftw

You could always just record each track loop by loop and then arrange in DAW. It's time-consuming but good for editing.

Now, is there a way to make it so that when you accidentally A/B+left/right into a blank pattern you don't automatically shoot up to 240BPM?

haha, oh man, I hope oliver fixes this, it still gets me every now and then. Pretty funny though.

Excellent! I've started work on an industrial techno project and these will come in very handy for my electribe sampler.

I did this mod (without the loca) but it's a little too bright (it looks cool leaking through the blue transparent case, but the screen is hard to read). What kind of resistor would I need to dim it to a manageable level? I'm not really into the idea of using a trimpot, especially since I have a few various packs of resistors lying around. I figured I could just try a random one but if anyone has a good recommendation, it might help prevent some trial and error!

Another one for the list—Duke Nukem on GBC:

cTrix, basically

also his track Human Nature:
