Nanoloop: GameBoy Advance Hard Disk Recording

Posted by timothy on from the creative-misapplication dept.

parasew writes "Nanoloop 2.0 for GameBoy Advance is Out! The GBA-Cartridge features a 8-voice Synthesizer an 8-Track Sequencer, a Song Editor and a HD-Recording Option, rendering the GBA one of the most cool digital gadgets for musicians that travel a lot. Extra-gear is a GameBoy-MIDI-Adapter and a Lowpass Filter Cable. Some Reviews of Nanoloop are available in the Web from samplepoolz, HarmonyCentral, nanoloop.de and a German one from Parasew. Demo sounds in MP3 format can be downloaded from the site."

  1. Re:GAMEBOY != ANALOG SYNTH - false (!) by faragon · · Score: 4, Informative

    You're, simply, not right:

    i) Both {Gameboy | Gameboy color} and Gameboy Advance have hardware analog FM synthesis capabilities.
    ii) Gameboy Advance features also digital sound processing (PCM).

    Sure you know that not al "chips" do digital operations, there are usually called "digital", "analog" and "hybrids". Every transistor produces an analog output, the point that make a circuit labelable as "digital" is the tollerance ranges that would convert/consider an analog value to "0" (aka false) or to "1" (aka true).

    (the meaning of this post is informative, not flamebait or whatever, sorry if I sound too much pedantic)
