  • I didn’t know there were two apps so similarly named. I’ve heard one or both mentioned on the AB/Loopy forum, but I haven’t tried either.
  • Maybe other apps would do this. Have you tried MIDIStep?
  • Hmm. I can see that. I just tried it, but because I keep my screen brightness down low, it wasn’t a big deal. Still a dark splash screen would be ideal. I wonder why we never thought about that while NS2 was in active development…? When composing, I guess looking away for a moment will handle it, but if you are on stage, I…
  • No way! I knew you had good taste. In the 90’s my main workstation was an Ensoniq SD-1! I still have it, ….in a case, mostly ignored. I didn’t get that he was asking for keyboard step entry. That was good for the 90’s, but it is so much faster and easier using the piano grid with duplicate and drag handles. I suppose we…
  • I have also tried a lot of other DAWs and I can’t do much with any of them. I think I’ll stay with NS2 until the end.
  • NS1 is still quite usable and anyone who has the required hardware should consider NS1 like a vintage piece of kit. It offers a nice sound for those who can work it into their workflow. An easy way is to make use of the TRG-16. Record parts to TRG pads and the saved TRG-16 kits will load right into NS2’s Slate. I did this…
  • This part of the manual will answer a lot of your questions: https://www.blipinteractive.co.uk/nanostudio2/user-manual/PartEditor.html Basically, in the song editor, press draw to create a part (whatever number of measures) then double press that part and press draw again and start placing notes on the part editor grid.…
  • This is already possible. Do you have a question about it?
  • You CAN do this in NS2. Am I missing something…?
  • I remember that contest. I have a lot of NS1 projects that I still have not yet “converted” to NS2 projects. The idea of creating new projects in NS1 hadn’t occurred to me. Why not just sample audio and create NS2 projects? Samples or stems of Eden may not have the same feel? Could be. I have found them to he close enough…
  • Ignore the price just select purchase on one IAP and you’ll get this screen: Press OK and you’ll get this screen: PressOK again and wait…. The bank on the right hand side will have a blue progress bar. Don’t select a new bank until the blue progress bar is finished downloading! When the bank has downloaded you will see…
  • I just had to go through this process since I got a new iPhone, which was set up by copying from the old iPhone. That process transferred by NS2 projects and archives, but not the IAPs. I took some photos of the IAP process because I think there are a few points which could cause confusion. Face it: we’re impatient. Long…
  • I think if you go through the process it will appear that you are re-purchasing them, but Apple doesn’t actually charge you in the end. I haven’t needed to do this, so I don’t know for sure.
  • Apparently that is the only solution available. I would try it again and follow all steps, but I know it is a hassle.
  • This thread explains how to handle that: https://www.blipinteractive.co.uk/community/discussion/3453/recent-problems-with-restoring-iaps-and-how-to-solve#latest
  • NS1 requires iOS 10 or earlier. It will not run on iOS 11 or later due to the 32 bit to 64 bit conversion you mentioned. It will run on WIN 10 (possibly later) and I think some Macs.
  • https://www.blipinteractive.co.uk/nanostudio2/user-manual/SongEditor.html#tempo-and-time-signature-tracks Let me know if that gives the info you’re looking for
  • That’s good to know about BlueTooth MIDI. I’ve never tried it and obviously conflated the Audio with MIDI issues. BlueTooth MIDI & wired headphones is good then. Hmm. WIN 10 runs NS1 - I’m not sure about newer WIN OS but I would think it would be OK.
  • Bluetooth was and I think still is a bit laggy for musical intruments. OK to passively listen to music, but wired connections are the way to go. I don’t recall the state of things on iOS 10 but I remember when NS1 started MIDI wasn’t possible between apps.
  • It was called the Akai Synthstation 25 and there are some available on eBay and Reverb. It used the original iPhone plug (not lightning). The keys were small, but it was a fun interface for iPuone apps. Considering the drumpads and pitch & mod wheels, it was a pretty good deal. Still would be for an old iDevice on iOS 10…
  • That’s at least “antique” in the app world. Not ancient, like Atari or Amiga, but pretty old. Even NS2 is 6 years old, …and still runs amazingly well. Somewhere I have one of those keyboards that the iPhone plugged into. NS1 was great with that retro keyboard.
  • I think so. It might even be hip and trendy to use retro gear and apps. NS1 isn’t all that old in reality. I still have old devices with NS1 on them and plan to use those to generate samples to feed into NS2, which isn’t quite the same as using NS1 for sequencing.
  • When I have Time Signature or Tempo tracks enabled (blue button), I see the correct time signature or tempo in the metronome/clock window and the time ribbon moves as expected. In the Part Editor I see the correct grid reflecting either 4/4 or 3/4. Maybe I’m not quite understanding the issue correctly, but it seems to be…
  • Hey! Welcome to the forum! In this example my highest sample is of note A4. Select ‘Key’ (highlighted in red) and you will see the screen below. Use the arrows to set the range for the note, for example the Max might be B4, and then OSC 2 could have samples from C4-C6 (or whatever) that are different samples for a split…
  • That Refresh on patches is good to do from time to time, especially after you get a few new AUv3 synths just to make sure all the presets are showing up.
  • I suspect a lot of the reason for these sorts of problems depend upon which hardware and iOS we are talking about. I would suggest you follow the same steps with your iPhone. I agree! A lot of NS2 users really love the ability to create when away from the PC/Mac/iPad. Then when I am infront of those devices at home I…
  • Glad to hear it worked out! The situation is a bit crazy, but it seems to me that Apple is creating problems all the time and devs must deal with the fallout. Maybe things get better in the future.
  • Nice stuff! Those were NS1 tracks? You were pushing the limit on Eden.
  • Also, welcome to the forum!
