What NanoStudio 2 is

NanoStudio 2 is a music production app for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple-silicon Mac. It supports synthesis, sampling, arranging, editing and mixing, with multitrack editing, MIDI sequencing and external AUv3 instruments and effects. The built-in Obsidian synthesizer and Slate sample-based performance pad provide instruments for making sounds. Its sequencer handles song arrangement, MIDI patterns and automation. The maker describes unlimited tracks, flexible signal routing and automatic graph latency compensation. You can share projects to SoundCloud or export audio mixes and MIDI files. NanoStudio 2 is a free download with in-app purchases, and its specifications list six simultaneous instruments including the mixer, or up to 16 with an in-app purchase. A single sample can be up to 32 MB. The feature page describes a MIDI production suite and does not list audio tracks. Apple lists compatibility with Apple-silicon Macs running macOS 11.0 or later.
