Vst/Sample on top of the tracks
How about an option to have vst or sample loaded on top of the tracks but that area to stay fixed when tracks play? would nt that eliminate the need for the right intrument loading area and give us more space to work on?Also those vst /samples have that track only when loading on to them so we cant accidently have notes all over the place

Cannot modify all device parameters?
I noticed that certain parameters of the internal effects are not accessible via the generic Lua API.
For example the Display-Mode and the channel mode of the EQ5 here are not exposed as parameters.
My question: Is there a canonical way to modify these?
I figured that I could theoretically modify the XML-Data from the preset. The channel mode value seems to be there. But not the display-mode. Is there a convenient API for modifying XML values?
This has been bugging me for a while. Any help is appreciated.

Can I overclock my buffer size or delay play to minimise CPU distortion?
This has to be a beginner’s question but I can’t believe I can’t solve this.
In a nutshell, I want to minmise crackling. I am running ASIO 1024 buffer size with a focusrite interface. Pretty standard. I hate the crackly noises!!!
The renoise settings I have messed around with, but it seemed like rendering every time i want to press the spacebar is insane. Anyone? this has to be potentially the most common problem right?
oh, if i need to buy hardware, please tell me. I have 16cores but only RAM card, my hard drive is an SSD plugged directly into the motherboard to reduce delay. I thought I was making something that would overcome clipping like a graphics card overcomes FPS. Help?

Track's audio routing control
Hello guys,
I’ve one question : is there any plugin that can select all the track’s audio routing device in order to change all the tracks’ output device in one click?
because for example if you have 50 or 100 tracks in your project and you need to change the output of all the tracks one by one it can takes ages sometime
cheers

How to change page up/down step?
I’ve poked around but I haven’t found a way to change page up/down step. [lctrl+lshift+up/down arrow] works alright but I tend to leave the edit step at 0 and use page up/down in trackers. Am I missing something? Or is this not built in?

Delete Selection
Every tracker I’ve used has mouse support allows for deletion of highlighted notes. The ability to use delete key for both individual notes/effects and selections would be very much appreciated. Apple x/ctrl x or other keybinds work but it feels pretty hacky and switching between Renoise and Famitracker or any other tracker can be pretty annoying. A few other users in communities I’m in have mentioned this being an issue for them too. Aside from this I really love Renoise and all the features.
(I’m aware that this has been mentioned before, but it’s been more than a decade so rather than commenting on a dead topic I thought I’d make a new one.)

Citizen DJ - Make hip hop music using the Library’s public audio collections
The US Library of Congress has introduced Citizen DJ, a project currently under development that promises to let you make sample-based music using the Library’s public audio and moving image collections.
The LoC site says:
Citizen DJ is a project by Brian Foo currently under development during his time as an Innovator-in-Residence at the Library of Congress. It invites the public to make hip hop music using the Library’s public audio and moving image collections. By embedding these materials in hip hop music, listeners can discover items in the Library’s vast collections that they likely would never have known existed. For technical documentation and code, please see the repo
The Library of Congress Citizen DJ | Experiments | Work | Library of...Test it!
Needless to say, you are under no obligation to make hip-hop. : )

Select phrases by probability
Is there a way to use a random feature to select certain phrases?
For example play a specific drum loop phrase 80% of the time and a drum break loop phrase 20% of the time? Useful also for generative music.

Find unused DSP's?
Do any of you know how to quickly find unused DSP’s in a song (never turned on throughout the song)? Maybe also delete them. Is there a tool for this?

Web error logo "renoiseR" to "forum.renoise.com"
Web error when pressing the “renoiseR” logo from my user account in Google Chrome.
It seems that some error exists when trying to go to the main address of the page. This will also happen if you leave the main page, switch pages and hit “back” on the browser.
I don’t know if the same thing happens in other browsers, but I think it only happens from the user account, and the path seems fine: https://forum.renoise.com

Audio Interface - Linux
Hi to all Linux Renoisers,
I’m in search for a new audio interface and I wonder what you are using and how your experiences are.
It should be an USB interface with (if possbile) two inputs on the back and fully compatible with Linux.
The Audient ID4 looks fine, but it doesn’t have the two inputs at the back. Audient ID14 is not compatible as the mixer software does not run in Linux.
Other options:
Behringer U-Phoria (no inputs at the back, not the best quality?) - fully compatible
SSL or SSL+ (https://www.amazona.de/test-solid-state-logic-ssl-2-usb-audiointerface/) - does it run in Linux?
M-Audio Air series (https://www.amazona.de/test-m-audio-air-192-14-8-6-4-air-hub-usb-audiointerfaces/)
Roland Rubix (these work out of the box)

Customized touch sensitivity (Min-Max) per instrument
@Finnishcoffee wrote:
Greetings!
I have been searching the forum about this issue but couldnt find anything more recent then 2010 and that’s a looong time ago so here goes…
I use M-Audio key 69 and this keyboard has a superdynamic touch sensitivity. This is a problem when I use VST instruments with very different dynamics like kontakt voices and vst with synth sounds that doesnt even react to touch sensitivity.
In Reaper, you can control the min-max touch sensitivity sent to individual VST with 2 simple sliders. They will change the range of said MIDI input to anything you like between 0 - 127, solving the problem with VST dynamics differences.
I have yet to find this simple thing in ReNoise.
example:
kontakt Choir comes in very very soft when I press softly on my m-audios keys, being completely drowned in any VST that has strong audio no matter if you play soft or strong on the piano keys.
Here, it would be ideal to set the minimum velocity for the kontakt VST to something much higher like 64, even if I press soft enough that it produces a key velocity below it.
The same goes the other way around. Using orchastra full strings can sometimes be way to loud compared to a soft arp or similar. At that point, I want the touch sensitivity to only range between say 25 - 100 on the kontakt VST and maybe 75 - 127 on the arp VST.
This is easily accomplished with said item in reaper, but I cant find it in ReNoise.
I do just about all recording live, using “zones” on the m-audio to save time. This is why I’m asking.
Otherwise I could simply play one VST at the time and that has been my somewhat awkward workaround since that ruins the “feel” and rhythm of doing a live recording when you are inspired.
Best regards from Finland.

My OSC#134: Easter Lockdown contrib

hello there,
after a half a decade of renoise abstinence, i was looking for a cure for boredom during quarantine and found it in returning to what was once my greatest passion.
i needed something like a deadline so i took the chance on this month’s KVR one synth competition round.
this tune uses 10 instances of u-he’s hive2, no samples allowed as per the usual OSC rules.
this month’s rules also required you to incorporate synth “bird sounds” in any form into your track - just in case you were wondering why somebody would make an intro like this.

Plug&Mix VIP Bundle (huge discount right now)
@rainydayshirts wrote:
Plug&Mix has a Promo going on for the VIP Bundle. 50 stomp-box style plugins. Normally $249, now on Promo for $49. Picked it up yesterday. Opened them all in Renoise and played around. They all work without issue in Renoise. While some of them are already covered by Renoise DSPs, there are some sweet gem in this bundle, and even the ones that are redundant are still different from the Renoise DSPs. I’d say $100-250 would be worth it for the bundle, so getting it right now for $50 is a steal.
Great option for anyone that doesn’t have a lot of plugins or a tight budget looking for a grab bag of simple, easy to use FX.
Plug & Mix VIP BundleIf you buy Plug & Mix V.I.P. bundle, then you are a "Very Intelligent Person". Each plug-in in the V.I.P. series costs only $49 individually, but when you purchase the Plug & Mix "V.I.P Bundle" you spend only $249 MSRP for the entire...

How do you get "normal" sounding instruments in Renoise?
@plast1c_tac0 wrote:
A lot of times when I practice chords or other things on the Midi controller, I want to use Renoise to play something, as it’s my main music software currently.
Many of the instruments and samples are great for the kind of music Renoise is known for, but sometimes too wacky to practice chords or melodies on. I often just want a boring piano, flute, organ, sax, or strings sound. These traditional instrument sounds are also good for me to brainstorm song ideas with or record the tracks in a “rough draft” manner.
On a Yamaha keyboard or whatever this is easy, as many have 128 General Midi intruments, and if not that then they at least have the basics. In Renoise this takes extra time and can be frustrating.
Here’s some options I noticed…
-
Take the Renoise default instruments and remove a lot of the vibrato, flanger, delays, etc, all the effects, and you maybe end up with something that sounds like a regular piano, or a regular flute, etc
-
Try to find premade Renoise instruments in the backstage area that are more normal or traditional sounding.
-
Use ReWire in some manner, but I’m on Linux so that won’t work.
-
Use VSTs, but again many don’t work on Linux and I’m in the process of finding out a few that do. I like Dexed and Helm for synth tracks but I haven’t found one I want yet (hopefully FOSS, not proprietary) which would create General Midi type instruments.
The VST route from what I read isn’t as “native” and some Renoise effect commands and such would not work. Is this correct?
That leaves the Soundfonts and other files, but again I am not familiar with these.
So which of these would be better for normal, boring instruments that are more “native” or closer to the Renoise workflow, but also sound good and have some variety?
If I can’t figure this out, I’ll either need some standalone software to practice chords and melodies, or I’ll have to use an old Yamaha keyboard that has GM instruments.
Thanks.
