It was worth every cent

I have used NanoStudio for years. I produced a number of full length albums with it (look up Wrave). I fully converted my workflow over to it. There are pros and cons.

THE PROS:

Its maleable. Thank you so much for treating us like smart human beings. Touch interfaces are all too often made to be "easy to use" but in fact make themselves more difficult to interact with because theyve been boiled down too much. I can tell that the interface was planned for multitouch from the start. Intended actions are executed quickly, fluidly, and without any fuss, or "smart" snapping. There is no faked sense of interpreting touch-and-hold versus touch versus an accidental drag. No. NanoStudio just does what you tell it to do without being dumb.

Its worth the money. This is cheap software that does a lot. Its actually easy to get by on only five patches, and the upgrade to 16 patches only expanded my horizons.

Its stable. NanoStudio never crashed once on my 1st generation iPad after thousands of sessions because it has clear boundaries. You can only make one million notes/automation changes. Thats it. It also is quick to warn you about low memory which is always the fault of another app in the background.

THE CONS:
NanoStudio never received MIDI OUT, and it never will. This saddens me the most as I was really looking forward to using it as a brain for other synths.

The Mute and Solo buttons are not multitouch friendly. I asked for this to be fixed as it really affects my live performances but Ive been told it will stay this way indefinitely.

We can no longer get updates on 1st gen iPads

ABOVE ALL:
NanoStudio has become my best friend. Knowing that it will not receive any future updates is, in a way, comforting. It has become like a hardware synth that will never change and though it has a few quirks I learned to work around them. I love it because the pros outweigh the cons. Thank you for NanoStudio, Blip. It has brought me years of joy.
