Here (or mp3) is the wavetable noise I was writing about earlier. So at first it's not too bad, but once I trigger something on noise/pulse channels it's really loud. It's very annoying to me, since I want to make really short percussive sounds with wavetables.

Love it.
But - I'm getting a really annoying sound when using wavetables on S-channel. Like a narrow pulse after the envelope finishes.
When only using the S-channel it's faint- fairly ok. But as soon as I trigger something on any other channel the pulse gets really loud. Quite annoying!

Also, step pauses behaves strangely with less steps than 16.
(Strangely but ... very useful! )

Ok, I'll break it down for you:
What is unique for each version of Nanoloop?
(just listing the most important stuff)

1.x - 1.2
FM synthesis on wave-channel, very unique sound that you won't be able to replicate even with LSDj.
Pulse channels are paired into one, instead you control pitch offset/detune. There is a neat control over stereo distribution.
Some commands can be triggered without a note, you can thus create some nice glide & pan effects.

1.3
Arpeggio feature with pre-determined "chords" - can be cycled very quick which will create some interesting sounds
Note re-trig feature
Has an especially nice pitch envelope, great for making pitched bassdrums.
(Pulse channels are now separated)
(Very stable release)

1.5
This one features a small chip on the cart that feeds a third pulse voice as a detune effect.
This release is quite 'meh' imo!

1.6
AKA "One" - this is the "PCB cart".
Custom arpeggios w/ note retrig function both on pulse and noise (great for quick percussion sounds etc)
"Free" LFO-mode. LFO is not retrigged by each note trig.
Note names instead of blocks
Microtonal-ish feature (slight detuning)
New envelope type: can be super short without decay (quite useful actually)

2.x - 2.2
8 identical channels with FM, noise, subtractive and "8bit-like" synthesis.
Can have different pattern length on each channel
No pitch envelope, but LFO can be used for such a modulation.
Can record song as data stream and render with 16-bit waveforms on PC.

2.3 - 2.6
Back to basics, this adapts the "layout" of classic NL;
S-channel: Chord-mode, LFO/env modulates timbre/filter
R, L-channel: Arpeggio, LFO/env modulates pitch
N channel: noise channel, LFO/env modulates filter
Has FM and subtractive synthesis. Crude 2-OP linear FM - my fav!
Very streamlined interface!
Also different pattern length, ping-pong, reverse and random mode.

2.7
FM-waveforms are now in higher resolution, this removes panning features of L & R-channels due to size limitations.
Note retrig for noise, L, R. (Like 1.6)
Wider stereo effect in noise & S-channel (when using chords)
New envelope mode (softer attack)
Free LFO (see above)
Step-pause function: you can set a step to trigger every 2nd, 3rd, etc time - Very cool!

There are far more things to mention (especially in older versions)
I actually intended to make a nanoloop wiki to list ALL the features, with manuals (remade in PDF for readability) and all that fluff. But I got caught up with other things.

Oh wow, exactly!
I love this release.

I loooove this! Super nice work.

Added SammichFM & GenMDM. Catch some FM!
