I could not be more excited to see a stand-alone hardware version of nanoloop actually being made! Oliver has been teasing me with pictures on his twitter feed, but it’s finally up on kickstarter! He’s been producing hardware for many years, so this I’m fully confident that this won’t run into trouble and will actually be produced and shipped. Go pledge people, the price is extremely reasonable!
BTW, I have no affiliation with Oliver aside from being a huge nanoloop fan.
I wonder how grainy and grungy it can get. I have version 1 on my grey game boy and I love the harshness.
Does Nanoloop 2 engine still have that 4-bit waveform designer, too?
Gassing hard for this right now! It’s like a pocket operator on steroids. Reading the specs, it looks as if it has the analog square wave for bass, with a 4 voice FM synth, FM mono, and noise / clicks. Does this mean this is 7 voice? $109 is cheap considering it has midi in / out , sequencer, poly rhythm, SD card slot, randomize, and looks sweet even as a prototype.
Had a nice mail conversation some time ago with Oliver about nanoloop. I considered to buy a GameBoy and the cartridge but was unsure which GameBoy to get and about MIDI sync. He was very helpful and explained the differences of the GameBoy types to me. It’s awesome to see the nanoloop device come to life…hopefully it will get enough backers and i’ll get one in august. Sweet.
Ooo… I think I will have to actually do this. I kind of wish he would have made the layout a bit less gameboy like though, as I use my gb nano loops more often flat in a table more often than not. Price is super good though, honestly seems cooler than an opz in many ways to me.
Never backed anything through Kickstarter, is it a safe and secure transaction? Also, if it doesn’t reach the pledge goal, does your money get refunded? Thanks fellow Nauts.
The money does not get taken from your payment method until or unless the project is successfully backed.
Buy today, pay April 1st (if enough backers are on board).
