8.19.2008 Nanoloop

yes!
My copy of Nanoloop that I ordered from ebay just came. It goes nicely with my sweet Gameboy Pocket that I got a few months ago.

So far, I am super impressed with Nanoloop. I saw Bubblyfish give a talk on chiptune music a couple months back, and immediately saw how much nicer Nanoloop was to work with than LSDJ, which I had played around with a few years back. It's not nearly as powerful, but it's a great way to come up with some super fun songs. The interface is extremely easy to understand. It's easy to navigate between the different screens, and it visualy makes sense what is happening when you apply certain functions on the sound. I need to keep this in mind when developing my own interface this coming year.

Thought: It may be interesting to actually map the key commands from the Gameboy to an external device, making it more performative.

Also, a side note: I am crapping myself over that picture of Rabato's rig. Check out more at his Gameboy music site.
