6. nanoloop 1 5 user manual Introduction Nanoloop is a Stepsequencer which means that a pattern of 16 1 16 notes is played repeatedly while these notes can be edited in various respects like volume pitch etc There are four channels playing simultaneously Each channel s patterns can be saved to file slots in flash memory and are then available for new combinations Finally saved patterns can be arranged in a song structure Startup Start nanoloop with START If you keep A B SELECT pressed during startup the ROM checksum will be calculated If you keep A B START SELECT pressed during startup memory will be reformatted and all saved data will get erased The Sequencer The 16 step pattern is shown as a matrix of 4 x 4 squares with the currently playing step marked in slightly darker color r E J The current channel is displayed in the upper left corner the current edit parameter in the upper right corner Within this matrix the cursor can be moved around with the d pad Use the keys to set notes B Set note A Remove note paste removed note if step is empty To edit a note keep B pressed and press the d pad up down A F or left right lt gt This changes the value of the current edit parameter indicated by little dots and squares changing their position a El On startup the edit parameter is pitch and B A W changes pitch semitone wise while B lt gt changes the octave To select a different chann
