NanoStudio iPhone - First Demo

NanoStudio is a music app for iPhone which combines sampling, synthesis, sequencing and mastering.

Much more info at http://www.blipinteractive.co.uk

Record your ideas in real time, mix synth layers with samples, compose and arrange your tune using the powerful sequencer and bring the mix alive with real time effects such as reverb, waveshaping and delay. You can use your own samples or record them using the microphone. NanoStudio's low latency audio engine is custom engineered for iPhone, capable of delivering an amazing 48 voice polyphony in CD quality stereo.

Synth

Introducing Eden, NanoStudio's versatile synth. Eden creates analogue sounds ranging from deep basslines and fat pads all the way up to squealing 303 lines and heavily distorted leads. Each voice has 2 anti-aliased oscillators modulated in mix, ring or sync configurations fed into a low, band or high pass 2 pole resonant filter.

Eden's virtual patchbay allows you to connect 3 envelope generators and 4 beat-sync LFO's to create modulation mayhem. Real-time performance becomes a truly interactive experience with dual X/Y controllers, accelerometer input and a pitch bend wheel, all totally configurable via the patchbay. Controller movements can be recorded and edited using the sequencer

It doesn't stop there. NanoStudio allows you to use 4 synths simultaneously, each with its own insert effects such as waveshaping, chorus and delay. When you want to go beyond basic oscillators, load up a sample and process it just like a normal synth voice - great for mashing up vocals or even the whole mix.

When you're ready to get really creative, NanoStudio allows you to resample its own output and trigger the sample via the pads or keys, freeing up synths and effects to add even more sonic goodness to your composition.

Trigger Pads

Record samples using the built in microphone, resample NanoStudio's own output or upload your own samples over Wifi using the NanoSync tool for PC and Mac. Edit your samples using NanoStudio's built-in wave editing tools and trigger them using the 16 pads. Adjust pitch, pan, volume and envelopes and assign each sample to one of the 3 output busses, each with its own effect and filter setup.

Sequencer

Record performances in real-time using the keys and sample pads or create patterns and controller sweeps by drawing them in the piano roll editor. Arrange your patterns into a complete song using the track editor. Edit to your heart's content while the song is playing and rest assured that every editing and recording operation has multiple undo/redo.

Mastering

Use Nanostudio's intuitive mixer to monitor levels and get your final mix just the way you want it. The mixer's two global effects sends allow you to individually apply reverb and delay effects to each track.

When you're ready to share your mix with others, and use NanoSync to copy the exported .wav file to your PC or Mac over Wifi.

Do you have to use a Wi-Fi connection to export or can you do iTunes File Sharing? Not everyone has Wi-Fi you know. Also can you make the new samples over the iTFS? And more more thing. Let's say I import a CAF file (GarageBand loop)...will NanoStudio automatically resample the loop to fit the BPM?

Your response is very valuable. Considering buying this while it's on sale.

@MediaByV Having to transfer samples via WiFi isn't the ideal solution for everyone, but iTunes file sharing isn't up to handing multiple files spread across a nested directory structure. You can get hold of a free app for your PC or Mac called iPhone Explorer. This allows you to transfer files via the USB cable, and you do not need to Jailbreak your iPhone or anything like that. NanoStudio doesn't do time stretch or pitch shift resampling at the moment.

@BlipInteractive Btw! The sound crashes with just 3 recorded tracks? Uh what's going on mate?

[BlipInteractive]

@IbraQuid It's difficult to tell exactly what might be going on, but even the older iPhone 3G should be able to play 5-6 tracks at once without problems. It might be worth joining the NanoStudio forum if you want to get more help.

@BlipInteractive I read the comments, but didn't quite understand the whole samples and beats stuff. In this video shows completely different beats than the one I bought. My question is... Are those edited or uploaded from somewhere else? Cause the default ones kinda suck + there's no variety on beats. So if there's a way of getting more beats I'll be grateful if you reply mate. On the other hand, in general the app rules. Thank you :-)

[BlipInteractive]

@IbraQuid The song in this video is in NanoStudio - try playing the demo project called 'Laid Back'. The synth line's a bit different because this video was done completely live, but the beat and the bassline are pretty well identical. If you need more samples for inspiration, there are a load of free Loopmasters samples available for download on the Blip Interactive website.

This is such a cool song.

[TrinityGhost1]

@BlipInteractive Will time stretching and pitch shift resampling be included eventually, though? Are there any plans for such an update in the near future?

Either way, this is definitely the best portable DAW available imho. So much better than iMaschine. Once it has the ability to warp samples it could even be able to compete with the big guys like Ableton I'd say. I've really been neglecting my MIDI controllers since I got this thing.

@Kintaro506 Alright. Thanks for that. :-)

[Kintaro506]

Can you fix the links for NanoStudio and NanoSync? I use Windows btw.

[Kintaro506]

@kanesta123 Nano Studio, I personally think it has a better sound quality, but it takes time to get used to. Music Studio is okay, but there isn't much you can do with that. Nano to me is more capable in making music, while MS is more like making orchestral Midis. Both are fine to use, but I think you'll be more happy with Nano.
