Developer Blip Interactive has updated NanoStudio, adding AudioBus support and more.
Here’s what’s new in NanoStudio 1.4:
- Audiobus support for input (sampling) and output (main mix)
- Virtual MIDI inputs for note and controller data
- MIDI input transpose
- 4 extra banks for your Eden presets
- Fixed ’empty sample’ bug when pasting from some Waldorf apps
NanoStudio is a recording studio for iOS, OS X and Windows. It has virtual analogue synths, sample trigger pads, a comprehensive sequencer, a sample editor, a mixer and multiple effects all integrated into a single application.
It’s available for $13.99 in the App Store.
If you’ve used NanoStudio, leave a comment with your thoughts!
Blip also announced that it has removed NanoStudio for OS X from the App Store and that it is now available directly from their site.
The best just got better. Go Blip!
Great news!
For anybody that hasn’t checked it out yet, NanoStudio is what iMaschine and iMPC should have been.
Good to see beatmaker2 getting some competition again.
Actually make that: great, now i can use eden in bm2!!! Awesome!
And soundprism to control Eden, nice!

mostly what will happens in my case, I bought BM2 for addressing the lack of midi and BG in Nano… I l love BM2 way more now! But this update change everything! If virtual midi is good in nanostudio, it might be better than BM2 for sequencing other apps: nanostudio always felt faster and leaner than BM2 thus leaving more resources to other stuff running in BG. Eager to try this!
: ( the new version of nanostudios does not seems to output virtual midi.
would have been great to use it as a sequencer, I really like its piano roll.
Everything works like it should. You need to set a pad or Eden to record before it will record through audiobus and there’s no indication if you’ve forgotten but other than that it’s really smooth and cuts down on a LOT of copy-pasting.
Those additional eden banks are a godsend! Another incredible update!
Goodbye iMPC!
I remember the day this was released as I was on holiday at the time; I think it came out the same day as Akai Synthstation, and I bought them both.
I played with Synthstation for a few minutes and thought it was pretty cool until I opened Nanostudio.
The whole rest of the holiday was a flurry of creativity due to the awesomeness of NS, I found the workflow and power of the Eden synths, the piano roll editor, and all the other features to be very conducive to making music on a touch screen – all in one app.
Considering the difference between a single developer and a company the size of Akai, Matt shows that one bloke, or a small team can blow the big boys so far out of the water, it’s both funny and sad.
Matt, you ‘rock’; Akai, you do not.
I learned tons of stuff from nano studio, and actually wrote my band’s biggest hit on a bus using it. Check it out : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YefTtNmJ3c4
The song somehow caught on in the gamer community, explaining the inflated number of views… They do not correspond at all to what we get paid!
still as useless as before the “update”, it lacks midi out, too cumbersome to bother with.
Does this app have a sample slicer, chopshop,or audio manipulator in it?
