  • pasteboard question   5 hours 11 min ago

    Thanks a lot.
    I just made them again and pasted them again and it worked the second time. I don't know what the problem was but...

    Thanks for responding and for being so responsible for your app.
    I love nanostudio and am so happy with it! I have been waiting for music-making technology to become affordable for the average person and cannot believe the time is here.

    @snowbah: Nano Studio is a Godsend.....and I mean that literally. Music production is therapeutic.

    How much MB samples have you in your track...i had the same problem with on track when i gone about 120 MB samples. I uses track 1-12...was going to use 13,14...but no sound! But when i tryed to add a sample f.e. on a trg in 1-12 i can hear it! Perhaps a low memory problem?

    It works. Thanks a lot. You've made my day :-)

    Sure. Look up 'nanosync' in the manual.

  • MIDI Disabled   1 day 6 hours ago

    So are you seeing the MIDI In indicator flashing on the MANAGE/MIDI page? If it is, then try experimenting with the MIDI Omni setting. If not, I'm struggling to think of suggestions.

  • Any plans for price drop?   1 day 7 hours ago

    @Ampvire - There was a 25% drop for a week late last summer to celebrate the app's 1st anniversary. I'd probably do the same this year but that's a while off yet.

    The free Windows/OS X version is your best best to decide if it's worth the money for you. This story might help too:

    When I was 17 in 1988 (still at school) I saved long and hard, worked evenings, weekends and holidays to buy an Yamaha DX21 for £550 ($870). Once I got it, although I could never admit it to myself for years, it was actually a bit shit.

    Moral of the story : not quite sure, but even if NanoStudio's a bit shit, it costs a lot less than a DX21 did in 1988 and does a lot more :)

  • Sending msgs on Nanostudio forums?   1 day 8 hours ago

    OK well in that case I've managed to fix it enough that it sends the mail (and gives a success message) but then it wraps that success message with a forum page saying that it didn't work. Hey, it's slightly better!

  • Silent instruments   1 day 8 hours ago

    @gmtfd - If you have an example project which demonstrates this problem, you can export it as an nsp and send it to contact@blipinteractive.co.uk for me to look at, assuming it's not too large to email.

    I'll have to get it and try that.. Thanks

  • Silent instruments   1 day 16 hours ago

    Why don't you do an arrangement of John Cage's "Symphony of Silence" .
    If you can get your lower instruments to stop working too you'll be all set.

    Sorry couldn't help myself.

    Wow, thanks. My nanostudio experience just got that much better!

  • Wishlists   1 day 18 hours ago

    I'll volunteer to make it web friendly as needed. I'll host it too if needed but that'd probably not
    make much sense.

  • Wishlists   1 day 20 hours ago

    manual as html online so we can link to it more easily from within forum posts.

  • Colors   1 day 20 hours ago

    when you convert a part to a pattern (song editor->more->properties->convert to pattern) the clip automatically gets assigned a color. There's a good write up of patterns in the manual.

  • ** nanostudio songs **   2 days 1 hour ago

    I'm proud enough of this RPM Challenge song to put it here. It's a response to my previous 'My Robot Friend'. I swear, I'm not intending to turn this into a musical.

  • Is the Eden Release in the ADSR envelope strange, or is it just me?   2 days 3 hours ago

    @Slam-Cut
    -Do you also have to change the Patch Bay page?- Yes or No.
    The Filter (or any other modulatable destination) can be modulated by multiple sources.
    They are independant and additive to the destination so even if the Filter amount or cutoff is at Zero another modulation source like the XY pad can still open it up.

    In the example above lowering the filter amount to zero brings the cutoff modulation to zero so took it out of the problem. Because the XY pad is connected by default in the patchbay then pushing it to the top puts cutoff modulation to full open for the test. Im realizing it would have been better to have suggested raising the cutoff knob on the filter page to max to get the same result which was an open unmodulated filter so Blarpie could interpret the Amp modulation only.

    I don't know what patch Blarpie was using but i'm guessing that the filter closing down had the effect of lowering the amplitude of the signal making it sound like an amp modulation.

  • Is the Eden Release in the ADSR envelope strange, or is it just me?   2 days 4 hours ago

    @syrupcore & MoltenBlob:
    Can you explain this a bit further? I'm missing something. If the filter cutoff knob on the Filter/Filter Envelope page is at 0, then how does changing the X1 pad to the upper right corner affect the release? Do you also have to change the Patch Bay page? I've been using the blank presets as is and I haven't noticed any problems with filter release, but I am curious to find out more...

  • Silent instruments   2 days 4 hours ago

    Oh no! Now I have lost four of my instruments! Does anyone know what is going on?

    When instruments go silent it always seems to be ones with high numbers. Currently the silent ones are 12, 13, 14 and 15. I wonder if this is related to the fact that I always keep an empty TRG-16 in slot 15 for checking out samples etc.

  • Default drum overwrite   2 days 4 hours ago

    The best way I know of is to copy it back from the Desktop version.

    @B3N: HUGE Thank You for the TRG files!! Those are awesome! I know I will get a lot of use out of those sounds. Two really nice collections that must have taken some time to put together. Many thanks!
