The Synth
Nanoloops FM synth offers a maximum of flexibility within a small set of parameters. It comes with a stereo modulator detune effect and covers the typical clean bells and Rhodes-like sounds, spheric pads, thick beats and basses.
The Sequencer
The stepsequencer visualises the rhythmic structure in a compact 4x4 square matrix, making it very easy to lay out patterns.
The Sampler
Besides A/D envelope, loop function, start offset, tune and fine tune, the puristic sampler comes without effects. You can record up to 6 seconds via microphone or copy samples via iTunes.
Share
With nanoloop for iPhone, you can send your saved projects to other nanoloop users and your own PC via e-mail. If nanoloop is installed on the recipients iPhone / iPod, she/he can simply tap on the file name in the received e-mail to start nanoloop and import the attached file so that it is available for editing. This makes collaboration very easy, multiple users around the world can work on the same project by simply e-mailing the file.
Export
Songs can be exported to a WAV file that is accessible via iTunes (simply drag & drop files in finder). The exported file is also copied to the clipboard so that it can be pasted in other apps that support pasting audio. If a file sharing app like Dropbox is installed, you can upload the file there.

Pros and cons of nanoloop app for iPhone and iPad
nanoloop app good for
I have the physical Gameboy Advance version and I love it. I love this app too. Its even better on some points (more channels, possibility to link several loops to have a bigger one, sampling!). I miss maybe the polyphonic channel (I know you can sample but its not the same :)). Anyway, there is one feature it really lacks : a MIDI clock sync. Pleeeaaase! If I may, Audiobus support for sampling other apps or route the NL output to an effect or DAW app, would be great too.
oliver, congrats. my best iphone app in a long time. this is so much fun. next time we meet you can show me some tricks. big recommendation to all electronic music lovers. jan.
Highly deep chipsoundmonster, all it still needs is background audio and Audiobus, pleeease! Great App!
This is a great app for making all kind of electronic music, not only 8bit nerd sounds. If you are in old school synthesizer and samplers, buy it you will never regret ... Its so much fun and far more advanced and easier to use than my cartridge version for my Gameboy. Next step for me is trying to Sync it via Bluetooth ...
very happy with this purchase. all i ask for is a windows converter for .nans
Its great! Sampler is easy to use, and create loops on. Allows one second at 44.1khz (cd quality) and 4-5 seconds at 8khz. Just sitting down within 10 minutes of getting this, I was already laying down unique beats.. just sampling my voice. I cant wait till I get on the road and start kicking in gabage cans for my own unique drum sounds. Song editor looks easy enough, I think Id be able to write whole songs in this, too.
(Resubmitting review for current version - I will reaffirm, best music program on iPhone)
All around GREAT!
Some bad moments
Buyed it and simply cant open it :(
Frustrating!
I have an Ipad mini
The App on iPad 3 iOS 6.1.3 crashes immediately. Take my advice: DO NOT UPDATE NOR DOWNLOAD
So thrilled to have the universal app, but it crashes on launch.. iPad 2, ios 7...
I like the app and its cool to compose music on it but it does not run smooth as it keeps glitching out on me and does not run smooth. Im not making anything too complex but i do use my own samples maybe that could be the problem? Either way it could be better.
This app no longer works with iOS 8, and the sounds are completely messed up. please help/fix!
:(
Apart from that, its a fine tool, so I hope we wont have to wait for too long...
