The bollocks is over.
It's a thing of beauty.
Time to write some songs.
See you guys in the New Year.

I’m not seeing ‘note repeat’, anyone know if I’m just missing it, or if it isn’t there?

Was just about to ask the same thing. I don’t see note repeat either like NanoStudio 1 had.

Is there any way to make it so that touching notes or pad names in the Row Header in the part editor plays the note or iPad??

In Piano roll, lower left hand corner: icon looks like speaker with a note next to it. Click it so that it is blue. This will not add ‘blue notes’ 🙄 (lame joke - couldn’t help it)

Thanks, but that’s not what I’m asking. The speaker icon stops sounding notes when you touch or place them, which is great. But I expected to be able to do is play the sounds by touching the note on the left hand keyboard or pad names.

It doesn’t look like you can do this like you can in just about any other piano roll editor. That is rather inconvenient if true.

Loving it otherwise so far though!

“Duplicate” - new word that sounds fancy

@chimp_spanner : I’m terms of file management , how does that work exactly? Does it store your Auv3’s?

I’ve never even thought about trying that. I don’t know I would use that... not sure it isn’t possible. I’m out and about still and not able to poke around to find out. Sorry!

Hold ‘draw’ then select ‘grid repeat’. Adjust grid to change rate etc. you can add swing too 👍

You’re in the editor and you want to peck around for that note you’re looking for without placing anything. Pretty standard.

Yah this is awesome.

__how do you load up an audio unit !!!

Lower left hand corner. Press and it will load Obsidian track. Long press and you have options of other tracks. AU, Slate, MIDI...

Also anytime in NS2 that you see the small arrow under an icon, that means there are more options with a long press.

Perfect !!!

Fine tune on the synth and sampler? I’m wanting to jump in but I’m balls deep in 432hz with all my other Apps and instruments

The mixer tries to copy Reaper too much and is one of the UI areas that is not great in my opinion.

@StormJH1 said:
Man that mixer layout is just a thing of beauty. Was critical earlier bc of the audio track thing, but credit given where due!

I too went through a 432hz phase 😂

Man, this is what I've been waiting for on iOS, I've tried em all... And this is my fav !!!
I am sad you can't load iaa cuz I love Magellan and it's not au, im guessing there is a way thru ab3 to route midi into ns2 but I'm not there yet

Just how well does it resonate with your balls? Now my interest is peaked.

I understand how to use ns2 as a midi controller for Magellan, and record the midi input, but it's not actually seeming to load Magellan into ns2 itself

Man I missed using this sequencer. So easy. I think many of my apps are leaving the iPad, won't be using them anymore.

Magellan is an IAA app, right? If so you can’t load it into NS2. I think your only option is to record the audio either in the app, or using another app like AudioShare or AUM, then load that into a slate pad and trigger it.

I dont know if its said before, or asked but... anyone with the new iPad Pro experiencing cracklings and shit with NanoStudio (with usage of AU Plugins)?

Now off to work here and i wont be around til many hours, so I hope somehow some sound samples will come my way and light it up

Yea it's iaa , well dang I thought everyone supported iaa 😂 it's au that normally gives me problems!! At least Magellan has a built in "tape recorder " so I Will let it slide, I can record the midi in ns2 and then let it play to record to tape on Magellan... It's such a great synth for what I do that I need it, that and sunrizer... My favs,... Well thanks for the bad news 😂

OK, so I can already tell this app is a cut above any other app I’ve ever used on iOS. It feels like it’s going to probably become the main source of my music making. I know I’m going to get huge satisfaction out of it.

I’m only going to say this once and then leave it be. I just have to get it off my chest that there is a big lump of underlying sadness about the decision not to include even basic AudioBus support. By that I mean the ability to be an input to provide sound, and an output to receive sound, and the basic sidebar and transport controls (play and record). I respect the developer’s decision but will not hide that this is a huge disappointment, and I feel a very poor decision. IAA - good riddance! I totally support that. But AB ... sorry, I’m just really, really sad about that. Save your breath trying to talk me out of it. I know the workarounds and will use ‘em. I just wish I didn’t have to.

OK, that’s behind me and I’m out looking back. This is an absolutely stellar, completely unmatched app, and I already love it. ❤️❤️👊😎

The decision not to include the IAA rats nest is a good one. It needs to die. I’d rather work around that and not have it polluting apps in the future.

Huh. I’m sure you are right. I work differently I guess. I either play notes in with keyboard and adjust timing in piano roll, or If working in the piano roll I would place a note and move it around to hear the pitch (or percussion if Drum part). The mini keys at the left would be super tricky to play reliably, even just poking for pitch, esp on iPhone. Maybe it’s just me. Hey! Make a suggestion on the new Nanostudio forum’s Wish List thread. 😊

I agree, no iaa is ok but then a fair trade would be to have ab support.... Magellan and samplr are really it for me for iaa, but I use Magellan like every day, hopefully the dev will make it au

Hoo boy I walked right into that one 😂.
My wife likes a strong didgeridoo drone to the poontang but I haven’t tried resonance directly on the balls yet. Whaddya think, tuning fork or singing bowl?
