Description

*** Autumn SALE - 66% OFF APP and ALL SOUNDPACKS for a limited time only ***

NanoStudio 2 is a powerful music production environment for synthesis, sampling, arranging, editing and mixing. It’s the successor to the original NanoStudio, an app held in high regard by musicians for many years for its usability, quality and productivity.

NanoStudio 2 builds upon the same design principles as its predecessor and introduces a huge range of extra features. An all-new audio engine delivers truly professional sound quality, highly optimized to handle complex projects with large numbers of instruments and effects.

NanoStudio 2 hosts external Audio Unit (AUv3) instruments and audio/MIDI effects. A library of all your AU instruments and presets is maintained so they’re tagged, searchable and just as accessible as NanoStudio’s own internal instruments.

Obsidian is NanoStudio’s built-in synth. It has 3 oscillators with 32 note polyphony and 7 different synthesis methods including analogue, wavetable, FM, multi-saw and phase distortion. It also supports samples and multisamples which may be split by note or velocity. Obsidian has 18 different filter types, including resonant analogue, super clean digital, formant, comb and waveshaping. Nearly every parameter can be modulated via the synth’s 5 envelopes, 5 LFOs and 10 configurable macro controllers, and modulation connections can be assigned with just a few taps. 300 factory patches are supplied with macros set up and ready to go. It’s easy to create your own patches and there are many more professionally produced patches available as IAP.

Slate is NanoStudio’s second built-in instrument, a sample/synthesis-based performance pad which makes it easy to tap out drum beats. Slate comes with 500 quality factory samples ranging from multisampled acoustic drums with natural variations through to cutting-edge electronic percussion and effects. 50 factory kits are include, and it’s easy to construct your own drum kits using the factory samples or your own. Slate can also be used with samples of just about anything: vocals, guitar riffs, synth pads – you name it.

There are powerful editors for song arrangement, MIDI, automation and samples. All share a consistent user interface so you’ll be up to speed with them and making music in no time.

A fully-featured sequencer supports tempo and time signature tracks (including tempo ramps) and Ableton Link.

Everything’s brought together by a mixer with unlimited tracks, track grouping and audio/MIDI sends. Tracks may have an unlimited number of insert effects with 11 built-in effects to choose from including reverb, sidechain compressor/expander, EQ with spectrum analysis, look-ahead limiter, delay, exciter, chorus, flanger and phaser. You can add AU audio/MIDI effects to the chain and use them just like an internal effect.

There are many mixdown options available with quality settings up to 32 bit/96kHz and support for file formats including wav, aiff, ogg and M4A. You can mixdown track stems in a single operation or select just a region of the song - great for resampling.

NanoStudio supports Audiobus and has many options for file sharing via the iOS Files app, Dropbox, AudioShare, iTunes File Sharing, AirDrop, email, WebDAV and importing music from your iTunes library.

Develop your initial musical ideas through to a final master with an intuitive workflow designed to get things done.

Rohit Debnath ,

An awesome DAW with some very obvious limitations!

I’m amazed by the workflow of this app and how snappy it feels even on my slow, 9yo at this point, iPad. The app is laid out very well. Everything works flawlessly. Thanks Matt for this awesome app!

NS2 needs multiout support for AU instruments so that we won’t have to load multiple instances of the same plugin and save some cpu, and looks like there’s no automation option for AU effects, that’s very much needed as well.

Other Feature requests:

1. Audio tracks and time stretching! (any modern daw should have these)
2. Right now I’m using Koala, but better sample chopping features or a dedicated sampler instrument right inside NS2 would be great.
3. The only plugin missing from the built in FX arsenal is a tape/vinyl simulator with wow, flutter, noise and saturation. That’s the only thing I use third party plugins for inside NS2.

It’s the best

I have used several iOS music apps, This is the best app I have ever come across , Sampling ,editing. Sample triggering etc and it’s so user friendly

THE BEST,,,,

Almost there but not quite so!

NS2 is right up there with the best iOS DAWs. However, the lack of few important features like time-stretching and audio clips is holding it back. Hope that a future update brings these features.
