Yeah, if you listen to the whole set I can’t really understand how anyone can’t acknowledge that he is slaying, just as a small percentage of modular nerds, or Elektron nerds, or whatever other freaks are out there making a scene and not giving too much of a toss what anyone thinks, that’s smells like freedom to me 
Who cares what is being used, if its good its good.

Yeah, and the chip scene is genuinely one of the most inclusive, friendly “scenes” I’ve ever been part of. Absolutely no hate, or politics, or gossip. Also it’s huge, international, and everyone is friends with everyone.

Not to mention inventive. As you know, the limitations faced when making music with a gameboy and succeeding somehow make all the audio bores worrying about sample rates, and so on look like a bunch of people looking for excuses, rather than looking to make some music.

Yes shoot me a dm. I have a few to choose from. Also you could find me on ig officialtarikh
Whatever floats your boat i understand. The fact i dont get it maybe a sign im coming from an age that precursed this chip tune thing and by many years. Im sure a lot of effort and talent goes into creating tracks within such limitations. The Gameboy was very popular for young kids. (And grannys).I would imagine the next wave came along and took in another direction. Fair play to them. But i still feel its a crap sound. Sorry, i just cant bypass this feeling. But going back to my first line. Yes,whatever boats you have i hope they keep floating. 
Edit. I did have a Palm Tungsten which i used a lot. It probably had a similar sound chip?
I bet there are some nanoloop2 tracks that you wouldn’t be able to tell apart from tracks made with say, a Digitone, apart from the effects…

Great video, not mine.
Does anyone see nanoloop as a kind of a super portable “Elektron style” device, home away from home feelings.

Yep. I think Nanoloop even had a few features before Elektron devices did, like individual pattern lengths/scale multipliers.
Still waiting for Elektron to allow for tracks from different patterns/banks to be combined though

Ah yea awesome feature for sure, and of course the nanoloop song mode is really clean and easy to use. nanoloop rules!

Using Nanoloop (for iOS) for manipulating samples, usually recorded from Nanoloop patterns, is a major reason why I got the Octatrack. Along with the individual track lengths and parameters per-step, yeah, definitely an Elektron vibe.

I hate song mode and never use it 
(but seriously, I understand why people would want to, it’s just against the freeform nature of why I use nanoloop 
)

Haha yea I don’t use it a ton but I do like to chain patterns up sometimes once I’ve locked in maybe 3 or 4 variations on the melodic track, then jam over top with another keyboard. When I’m mobile only though I never use song mode.

Not me but this was a great mono set, and long too. He kills it.

Song mode is great for syncing Octatarck arranger or rytm song mode and lets you free your hands to do more stuff on the elektrons , but I tend to use less than 16 square patterns so these don’t sync up well in song mode . But my favorite thing about song mode is you can go back into the sequencer screen on the current pattern in song mode and modulate the waveforms then jump back to the current song mode position easily !

pretty special and elektron inspired sequencer (if it had slides…!!!)
i’m enjoying getting used to the inputs and can see it getting speedier as time goes on.
it’s pretty special.
ran into a few fun bugs or feature? moments (latest cart v1.1.1)
in one situation i could trigger the channel (or a note) like a one shot with A, which was cool but then reset into normal mode.
sometimes B takes me to the bank page when i’m on another param page.
a crash or two when pressing wrong button at wrong time.
but mostly as expected function, very nice design.
always good to ask the long term users what bugs/exploits/tricks/caveats/warnings they’re aware of and what they wish they’d known when they first started?
latest manual is 1.0.5, any extra on changes beyond audio out you’ve noticed on recent version?
and a time saver for me question: loading patterns with tempo i’m not sure how this is best used yet. do patterns get saved with tempo data? when does the “master” take over or change occurs? is this available in song mode?
i’ve got inconsistent results so far, all user error and i’m sure there’s a method.
