iPhone NanoStudio Gets Akai SynthStation 25 Support

Blipinteractive has announced that they are updating NanoStudio to add support for the Akai SynthStation25.

Everything’s pretty well complete, need to do some more final testing and then it’s ready to go in the next update.

When’s the next update you ask? Well I want to include a couple of other things too (such as improved sample interpolation) so it’s probably going to be sent to Apple early next week. Expect it to be available in the app store in approximately 3 weeks time!

NanoStudio is a virtual studio for the iPhone, featuring the Eden synthesizer, trigger pads, sequencer and effects.

Check out our NanoStudio coverage for a preview of the app in action.
