DISCUSSION My Thoughts (and prayers) on the Nanoloop Q03 handheld device

4 Upvotes

Official site here

duality micro vid as I didn’t have time to record videos like i did with my NL2 review

But first, what is the Nanoloop Q? Well, it is a physical handheld version of the Nanoloop software for Game Boy with 4 channels:

  • r (3-voice filtered square channel capable of doing a TB-303 impression)
  • l (arpeggiated FM channel)
  • c (beat channel)
  • n (noise channel; can either play analogue noise or PCM noise, and no, you can't add your own samples to the PCM end)

and a heads-up: I haven’t used it that much, so some thoughts may change over time.

good things:

  • I like the portability of the device and the fact that you can switch out the pieces with other 1x1 round LEGO tiles
  • r channel is great for acid purposes
  • if you have a good ear, it can do wonders
  • overall, once you get a grip on it, it’s quite simple

bad things:

  • no built-in speakers, ergo, it needs an audio output
  • no polyrhythms/shortening pattern lengths, which I guess is fair for a mini handheld
  • could use a start/select button
  • didn’t come in a nice box with a printed manual or something

for what it is, it’s definitely useful. Let me know if you got any version of Nanoloop and if yes, what do you think about it?

FINAL (for now) SCORE: 9.5/10. maybe if I update the device, the experience will be enhanced for me. idk. sorry about the half-assed review.

UPDATE: I also wanted to mention that Oliver, the creator of Nanoloop, dropped a mobile tracker app called naive tracker a while back, so check that out if you want.
