Thursday 18 mars: Nanoloop
by Haeyoung Kim (New York, USA)
Nanoloop is a soundaplication for the Gameboy, allowing the user to create sequences that can be played on
the device. Nanoloop is develloped by Oliver Wittchow, a pdh electronic engineering student from Germany.
Stored on a normal game cartridge, Nanoloop allows to produce nice electronic music without further hard-
ware, using headphones or an external amplifier as sound output.
