Nanoloop shared this short preview video, demoing the Nanoloop Mono prototype.
The Nanoloop Mono is a 3-channel analog synthesizer on a Game Boy cart. The sound comes from the Game Boy’s headphone output.
The demo is (clearly) of a prototype. Details are to be announced.

i love this ,i’d much rather have this than any apple app ,lack of control knobs is a worry though
Is this complete bullshit or why is the headphone jack not plugged in at all?
Maybe it’s using the speaker?
There is certainly enough background hum and noise present to indicate a phone camera mike.
Apparently according to olivers twitter. the sound is coming straight from the cartridge, no digital wave forms are being generated by the gameboy.
It clearly is plugged in at the beginning of the video, bottom of the gameboy.
I heart everything about this (inducing the white macbook in the background!). I’d rather have AudioBus and Ableton LINK support for the iOS app though! /selfish bastard.
So is the Gameboy modelling the sound or is there a synth on the card?
This is crazy exciting. So a analogue synth controlled by a gameboy sequencer. That screams pocket analogue drum machine. Chances are it will be have CV gate also if past nanoloops are anything to go by. Sign me up.
