Sessions Nano Press Kit

What is Sessions Nano?

Sessions Nano is a small and efficient audio mixer and plug-in host for iPhone, iPad and Mac.  By stripping away complexity and getting back to basics, Sessions Nano provides a simple, intuitive environment that helps maintain a clear focus on being creative. Neatly organised in a visual, uncluttered design, everything a musician needs is right in front of them - mixing live audio, adding effects, playing virtual instruments, hosting MIDI sequencers and generators, playing backing tracks, recording performances and more. It may be small, but it’s no lightweight - Sessions Nano uses the same high-performance, low-latency, multithreaded audio engine as Sessions Pro.

Developer Quote

Gordon Murrison, product lead at Open Planet said “We’re delighted to announce a new addition to the Sessions family - Sessions Nano distills the DNA of Sessions Pro into a simpler, more compact form that’s perfect for making music on the go, regardless of whether you use a Mac, iPad or iPhone. Features like 5-minute continuous recording make it the ideal musical scratchpad for mobile producers and the simple design and external MIDI hardware control features make it the ultimate portable rig for live performers.”
