<\/p>\n

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, many of the songs for my new record are being sketched out in Nanostudio<\/a> while I ride the railroad to\/from work everyday. I have to resist the temptation to waste my time<\/a>, but once I force myself to press the NS icon and open up the app, I am rewarded with a well thought out, fully functional sequencer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NS has four synths and a sample based drum trigger instrument. You can import your own samples in the TRG sampler (I’ve loaded it with all of my own drum samples). The “Eden” synths have a good mod matrix, four LFOs, 2 XY pads, an assignable envelope, insert effects and more. In fact, the “Eden” synths seem to be more versatile than my “real” synth (Microkorg XL). <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I like the synth so much that I recently voiced a request to the developer to be able to trigger it via MIDI IN while docked in the Synthstation25<\/a>. This request was implemented in the last update! Unfortunately, iOS 4.2 introduces a considerable amount of latency into the stream so synching to my host sequencer is out for now. It looks like I’ll have to let my fingers do the walking …<\/p>\n

You can export .wav and MIDI files from NS, making it compatible with just about any sequencer (OSX or PC) out there. My work flow is basically:<\/p>\n

\n1) Sit on public transpo and doodle on iPod.
\n2) Get home and dock iPod in Synthstation25. Refine doodle with real keyboard.
\n3) Export MIDI files and bring them into Reaper<\/a> for further development.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It has been working great so far. The app and the developer Blip Interactive<\/strong><\/a> are both 10\/10.<\/p>\n
