You can play back your sequenced sounds and have fine control per each step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Specs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>4 channels of sound<ul><li>dual square wave with true analog filter (mono)<\/li><li>4-voice polyphonic FM (stereo)<\/li><li>monophonic FM (stereo)<\/li><li>noise &amp; clicks (stereo)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>battery life: 50+ h (2x AAA)<\/li><li>micro-SD slot<\/li><li>5 LED lights<\/li><li>D-pad and 4 buttons<\/li><li>3 mini jack outputs for audio, Midi and CV<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Nanoloop used to be available on a real Game Boy cartridge and this Kickstarter seems to recreate a Game Boy experience just for music making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing and Availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can back this already successfully funded project via the link below.
