Hi there

I have Renoise v3.2.2 running on a Windows 7 PC. I want to try out v3.3.1 as I have a couple of VST3-only plugins. I also, however have a ton of doubled-up ones on my system, ie VST2 and VST3 versions of the same plugin, as when I purchased the plugins the installer prompted me to save both types.

I know when Renoise loads it scans for new plugins and obviously changes some internal setting so that it knows where to find these during future sessions. I see a few users have had problems with v3.3.1, with various VST3 plugins producing erratic behaviours and VST3s and VST2s clashing a bit. What I want to know is if I install and run v3.3.1, and find it doesn’t work so well for me, can I just go back to v3.2.2, or will the fact that I’ve run v3.3.1 mean Renoise v3.2.2 will now be confused as to where to locate plugins?

I can see older installations of Renoise on my machine, so I know it doesn’t delete them, but I just want to know if the older version is “unharmed” by any VST scanning that might take place in the new version.

And is there a release date for 3.3.2?

Thanks, everyone!

No undo with Synthedit VSTi’s in Renoise 3.3.1
Build jan 11 2021

Decided to make a bugreport, since I really need that ctrl-z.
It is kinda essential for my workflow to try random things and undo them.

Steps to reproduce look like this:

Launch Renoise
Load any old synthedit VSTI (for example VstSpeek3 or Dream64. I’m talkin VSTI from around 2014 here).
Do any action, with any instrument in any part of Renoise. (for example cut/paste)
Hit ctrl-z

Expected results:
Action undone

Actual results:
Message ‘nothing to undo’
Action NOT undone

If needed I can make a video.
You know what is odd? It breaks Renoise everywhere.
I mean if it just broke any action related to the VSTI I could somehow grasp that.
It being code that is more than seven years old, developped with middleware dated back 2005.
But the rather odd thing is that once the VSTI is loaded, undo breaks on a global scale within Renoise,
from the sampler to the pattern editor.
And yes: I tried running Renoise as an admin, even tried compatability mode with Vista.
There are two threads related to this:

Undo not working in an old track Help, Support & Bugs Hi I remember this happening from years ago - loading old tracks and undo not doing anything. What is the checklist of things I need to go through to resolve this? Thanks midierror Undo acts weird (when old Synthedit plugins are loaded) Help, Support & Bugs Loaded project with same vstfx and vsti’s in both 3.1 and 3.2, 3.1 no issues with “undoing” things changed in step editor, 3.2 gives result “nothing to undo” and the second time pressing “undo” “change value was undone” ? in 3.1, undo works, in 3.2 undo does nothing.

heyo,

thought I’d share this even if it’s a bit simple…
easy parallel compression for kicks, snares, bass, what-have-you within the instrument editor

dial in your frequency ranges to taste, and feel free to further effect individual bands. really useful for pumping up percussion sounds and/or bass sound design

cheers

Hello everyone, I have this problem from 3 months since I bought my new desktop. The probem is; I’m having cracking/crackling/popping sounds/noises while watching videos on web or listening music with Spotify or playingback audio in my DAW (Studio One 5).

The crackles are getting much heavier and frequent while there is mouse activity (like moving the cursor around GUI on Youtube or adjusting plugins in my DAW)

Here is my system specs:

• M-Audio M-Track Plus (MKII)

• AMD Ryzen 2600X

• Gigabyte B450M-H Motherboard

• MSI RX470

• 16gb ram

• 500gb M2 SSD

I also should note that I don’t have any problem when I’m using the same USB audio interface with my 6 years old laptop. (Both Windows 10)

The problem is dissapearing when the M audio drivers are not installed. But I can’t use Studio One without it, so I’m also stucked there.

I tried to use Asio4All and FL Studio Asio but the latency is not workable in recording situations.

Here is the things I’ve tried so far:

• Incrased the buffer size to maximum

• Made sure sample rate is same everywhere (24 bit, 44100 Hz)

• System power management %100 cpu

• USB power save disabled

• PCIe set to GEN3 in BIOS

• C-State disabled in BIOS

• CPU underclocked

• Changed the GPU (it was gtx770 and now it’s RX470 and no change in crackles)

It was a wide gap between one producer of software and music.

EatMe has decided to split up, was released in official press leak earlier this morning.

According to the statements on Twitter, that immediately got deleted,
it was “supposed to be made for common good”.

“EatMe will continue to release music and software. It’s just that we don’t seem to work together anymore, and that is why EatMe has decided to split up.”

“It was a long and tough decision to make. EatMe were good friends for years and we produced over 350 songs together. There were a lot of music making and programming activities from the side of EatMe, and it’s hard to split up the main team of one person.”

EatMe is very vague over when the next album will be produced now that EatMe has split up.

How about adding more Receivers on the Sidechain device to keep things neat and tidy?

Hello to all.

I would like to know if it’s possible to listen all midi devices availables without the open function? Like in the Renoise midi remote.

Infos are availables in Renoise but when i use lua i must open the device i want to listen and then the device become unavailable for something else (which is really annoying for my project).

Just need to receive the data to trigger some functions, don’t need to send anything to the device.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks for any help.

First I only used samples, then I moved into VST:s, and now I’ve got my first external synth - an Arturia Mircofreak - ever. The problem I have with it is to get into a workflow using it with Renoise. So I thought I’d ask here how you use external synths (or other sound producing equipment) with Renoise?

I tried recording bits and pieces and using them a samples, but found it tricky to play it synced and in tempo to what Renoise is playing. Using it as a MIDI-device only I can only play one intstrument/setting. Also. getting it to the right BPM, and in synced with the BMP, seems a bit cumbersum. Can I set Renoise to send a MIDI-clock to the device? Like a Master/Slave thingie?

Here’s a new track I made entirely on renoise. The organ sound actually came from a sample I recorded of a bunch of frogs croaking. I also recorded guitar, upright bass, harmonica and vocals all using the sample recorder function in renoise. The flow is a little different from a standard tape machine style multitrack recorder but it actually works really well.
Thanks for listening!

I’ve been developing this tune for about a week now, on and off. Let me know what you think. It’s a little bit Stranger Things, and a little bit Empirion / Vector Lovers. I hope.

Hi peeps,

Beside making music I’m coding. And I want to do more with that with Renoise. LUA is really cool!

But there’s one thing. I don’t know anything which I can build. So my question to you is if there’s something wanted? You ask, I make. If it’s not to big. I just want to code a project.

Let me know!

Hi everyone.

I’m currently developping a program with duplex for the Keylab MKII.
I think it’s finished so i give it here… please let me know if you find some bugs.
Download link at the end of the message.

I had not really be carreful about the gui as i though there’s enough light on keylab to see what you are doing and nearly every parameters send it’s name to the screen.
There’s a temp function to allow permanent message like the name of the track and temp message for the parameters that return to the last permanent 2sec. after the end of the use.

I’ll try to explain what this do…
It’s essentially for DAW mode but there’s some function triggered by USER mode so i use 2 programs run at the same time, one receive informations on standard keylab port and the other on the MIDIIN2.

In MCC, DAW commands need to be in USER mode (otherwise there’s problems with lights in USER mode, notified Arturia about this, maybe in future firmaware but i don’t think so)
Pads backlights is “always on” (firmware 1.2.4)

The 8 first PADs trigger Renoise config view, these are configured in midi default file (in the archive).
The 8 last trigger USER config 1 to 8, all mapped to specific VSTi but it’s up to you to do what you want with these, it’s done with the MCC.

Note that all react to Renoise with an idle function so every lights are trigged if you make change to track/device/automation/solo/mute/instrument GUI open/close in Renoise.

DAW Command functions:

Solo - solo selected track (light up when solo is on)
Mute - mute selected track (light up when mute is on) - can be semi lighted (unmute, mute, off)

Record - delete selected automation (pattern only).
If you start to automate a parameter, renoise will show the automation windows on the correct parameter and this button will light up. Then you have to press it to delete automation and restart to record if necessary.
If you go on a track pattern with automation on the track but not on this pattern, button will be semi lighted.
Find this super useful because i often have a record more than once to the result i want.

Read/Write - select previous / next device FX (if it’s a VST, GUI open and close with the selection)

Save : save current song

In / Out : Open Instrument GUI from pattern (not the selected instrument) and close it (button IN light up when GUI is open even when it’s open from Renoise or with the central button, see later in the desciption)

Metro : metronome
Undo : undo

Then there’s all the transport buttons (pattern previous/next for the arrow)

At the center:
Arrow : Track previous and next
Central knob : select Instrument, press on it to open GUI. When you change Instrument, if a previous one was opened (gui visible), it close (not sure it’s better like this or not, will see with more working with it).

Then we have the right controls:
There’s 2 buttons available to trigger different functions (Part1 / Part2), ‘Live’ send nothing.

Part 1 not pressed is the mixer mode:
Faders controls volume post of each track per bank of 8.
Encoders controls the mixer subset parameters (the first 8 of the track, don’t have bank here but it can be implemented)
Switches controls mute/unmute of each tracks.
Colors change when it’s mute or not, when the track is master, send or sequencer (haven’t make a specific color for group but i’ll probably add it). If you trigger solo for example, all colors adapt on the switches to fast see what’s going on.

Part1 pressed is the track mode.
Faders & Encoders controls the first 8 parameters of the selected FX.
It’s easy to make the faders control the 9-16 parameters but i find this great to automate with encoders or faders depending on the conrol.
No bank here, don’t have anymore buttons on the controller to do that but i search for a solution. If you want to automate or just control FX parameter 10 for example, yoçu have to use mixer subset.
Switches control FX selection 1 to 8. Press on already selected FX open the GUI and repress close it.
When you change the device selection, previous GUI opened close like for the instrument.

Now if you press Part2, there’s only the switches that change, you can select track directly with the switches, encoders and faders stay as they were (Part 1 define what they control).

The user mode can not be used with the same control, if i write on screen, default Arturia parameters name will ovewrite it. Not a big deal, it’s just to control VSTi and you can define every parameters name in MCC.

Now the problem is that part1/part2/live don’t send any message in USER mode and they reset all the light at every trigger so i have desactivated the light for the user mode (specially in DAW commands section). The buttons have the same functions but with no light otherwise it’s really confusing.

I search for the sysex message to ask the keylab the state of a control but i can’t resolve this for the moment. Arturia don’t want to share those informations and told me it’s private.

Same for the DAW/USER mode buttons, they send the same sysex message so in some situations, the light will not light up according to the mode selected (like if you do DAW->ANALOG LAB->USER), you just have to touch a control/butons/encoders to send a midi and the light will be correctly displayed.

So i think it’s finish, please let me know if you encounters some bugs.
There’s the whole Duplex directory just in case i’ve modified something. I try to avoid but who knows ^^
You can try the program with your Duplex directory, it should work.

Last note: you have to select manually the automation mode in the duplex interface in Effect_Track, Effect_Track2 and Effect_Mixer section otherwise it won’t record automations. Don’t know if i can select those by default. Same in the Mixer section if you want the soft takeover on faders.

Note that i use a Keylab 61 (firmware 1.2.4), not sure about the 49 and 88 but it should work.

Link to download:

1 file sent via WeTransfer, the simplest way to send your files around the world

To finish i’m far from an expert programmer and i’m sure the program can be optimized plus i’m not really organized in my head so there’s some redundancy but i’ll try to reduce it later.
If someone has the code to send a request for a value on a specific parameter to the keylab, please let me know, i could really improve the USER MODE with that.

Hi folks

I have a couple of tracks I’d like to spice up by adding a tempo change 3/4 of the way in.

Track is about 140BPM using kicks on 16s, hats in-between (4/8 etc). I don’t want to have to change the kicks to every 8 lines if I can get away with it, because that would simply double the tempo. Track has Synthmaster (VST) arpeggios running, synced - they should automatically re-sync to any new tempo in Renoise (I hope).

Any tips welcome - cheers
Steve (I.D. Crisis)

It would be awesome to have an additional LFO that went deep into the audio range. Seems like either some parameter tweaks on the current device or a whole new device wouldn’t be crazy hard to make. Lots of modulation possibilities.

BlueArp volume crashes Renoise 3.3.1
Build jan 11 2021

see this video: https://youtu.be/OlX_OOWvLPE

Steps to reproduce look like this:

Launch Renoise
Put BlueArp on instrument 1
Put Arminator on instrument 2
Route Bluearp via midi to Arminator
Choose a Bluearp Pattern like 17
Choose a Arminator patch like 01
Make a group
make a subgroup
Make a series of volume changes where the initial row triggering the arp has no volume, but row 2 has the first 01
last row should have 60
play

Expected results:
Arp plays and volume increases

Actual results:
Renoise crashes
