Nanoloop
Nanoloop is a great little synth and loop based sequencer…for the Gameboy Advance. It uses the GB’s built in sound chip to deliver 8 voice polyphony for rectangular wave forms with 3 pulse widths, lowpass or highpass filters, ADS envelope, FM synth with integer ratios of carrier, first & second modulator, ADS envelope for 1st modulator depth, filtered noise, ARR volume envelope for each voice (gate length can be set for each step independently) and pitch LFO for each voice, ranges from slight detune to odd FM like in old Nanoloop. As for the sequencer…8 tracks of 1 to 16 steps with parameters to edit volume, pitch, filter / modulation, gate length, offset and panning (more information on the above here). Although the GB’s sound chip is only 8 bit you can send the data to your PC where you can convert it to a 16 bit file, which "which sounds exactly like the original Nanoloop song -including all artifacts and distortion- but is free of 8bit quantisation and Game Boy background noise." Check out the audio examples as well as some of the tunes from the Nanoloop Forum. 80 Euros and out of stock at the time of writing. [via]
What happened to Nanoloop & its website? Where can one get a hold of a cartridge.

But I don’t know where to get it.
And I’m sick of Fruity Loops.
Gameboy + Music = ULTIMATE FUN!
