I kinda have 2 questions:

1. Is it possible to control a VST knob with a physical knob on a MIDI controller?
   Nexus VST knob example

2. Is it then possible to record these knob tweaks in an automation “track” (whatever the horizontal automation window is called)

Where’s the best place to get a good (beginner’s) overview on how to set this up? I keep findings bits and pieces on the Renoise forum but I haven’t found anything that describes the whole process - especially linking a MIDI controller to a particular VST knob.

Hi everyone,
Hoping someone can help me out here.
Wondering if there is a simple way of syncing an LFO in the Effects section to the BPM of the host daw / the redux project BPM.
The LFO’s in Effects seem to lack the handy ‘clock’ icon as seen in the Modulation section, which lets you sync between milliseconds and BPM.
I understand this can be done by modulating the LFO reset, but I’m not sure what the simplest way to go about this is.
This video LFO - Modulation & Effects - YouTube at 8:05 shows exactly what I am trying to achieve, but notes that the workaround isn’t possible in Redux.
I have tried mapping Reset to a Macro and automating ‘on/off’ from my DAW which somewhat worked, but was a lengthy and tedious process.
I also read that the Formula device is useful in this situation but I can’t find any resources to do with understanding the device (I have nooo coding knowledge). Maybe someone has a command for what I’m trying to achieve?
I just thought there would be a simple way of achieving this. Any help would be super appreciated!!!

Hello,
Is it possible to somehow use the system widget in the tool.
Or some external library?
I need something like EQ5 where I can draw a curve and grab points.

Thanks

Hello,
Quick version.
It’s just an experiment where I wanted to test how to compose harmonic waves.
I just thought of trying phase distortion and so there’s a simple version.
Please note that it’s just a teaching aid for me.
No optimization.Random errors.

cz.martblek.Harmoniks.xrnx (4.0 KB)

1. Buffer len settings (octave)
2. Simple waveforms selector
3. Resets all 256 harmonies
4. Transforms the created sample into a full-fledged wave to which more and more harmonic components can
   be applied
5. Toggle phase distortion
6. Phase distortion parameters [x1, y1, x2 and freq]
7. Just selector for harmonies
8. Harmonies sliders
9. Resets actual harmony to zero

Is it not possible to use FL Studio’s FLEX within Renoise? I’m guessing FLEX isn’t actually a VST plugin??

I’m just getting my head around all this lua thing . i’m a complete begginer to scripting . lot of you might have been in my place so first error "thanks " i’m trying to follow step by step guide and execute following in Testpad lua

Let’s debug the following small test script, paste into RENOISE_PREFERENCES/Scripts/TestPad.lua:

debug.start()

local function sum(a, b)
return a + b
end

local c = sum(1, 2)
print(c)

debug.stop()

and what i get is this = in terminal :

before i continue i wanted to know if anybody knows how to fix it . secondly do i absolutely need Lua testpad ?

I got permabotspended last month and it has finally pissed me off. Some mushroomheaded dicks have been following me around flagging my heated comments. Like for instance, I got a week banned for textually yelling at someone for posting an actual snuff clip without the NSFL or horrible death warning in a sub with clips of people usually just doing dumbshit or having really humorus badluck, as I don’t ever click those with the NSFL or like. They finally got me from a misinterpretation of a comment I made about some mean woman giving an actual “nice” cop a thorough tongue lashing with vulgarities and all, which is/was technically verbal assault on her part in this stupid world. If you could unsuspend me the message I just sent has the phrases “police serve policy” and “I’m not the internet police”. I know one of you has this priv, and would do it for me, as intelligent as the persons [here] are that this is directed to. I don’t need a reply, so you dont need to create an altuser, but it would be best not to read many of my comments. Some could hurt… As Ivé been going through a tremendous amount of unspeakable events and I don’t want you to catch the attention of anything.

So I’m in a bit of a predicament…

I downloaded the Renoise Demo many, many months ago but immediately realized it wouldn’t work on my system as I’m running a powerful/fast yet old Macbook Pro i7 with OS X 10.9.5 being the last update I can get.

So I went over to Archived Releases | Renoise and downloaded the 3.2.2 release. Modified the plist to accept os x 10.9.5 and viola! It works to my amazement.

This is what I’ve been using without any issues since day one for the past several months. But now I’m ready to buy the license and I’m wondering a few things…

If I get the license right now for 3.4.2 (most recent version) and install that on a Windows 10 machine, can I then also download 3.3.2 for the OS X machine, would that be possible? Or does the license not cover older versions?

Thanks guys!

Currently if 2 samples occupy the same keymap zone with round robin enabled there is no way to layer them.

If there was a way to specify grouping (maybe simply through the existing Mute Groups) then the complexity of deeply sampled instruments could really open up.

For example a snare drum with 4 round robins instances and 2 different microphone positon samples for each could be layered and sent to separate mod lanes allowing the mic positions to be mixed to taste.

Or a 5 round robins of single analog oscillator could be doubled & layered and used to create a randomly drifting/beating synth voice.

Hi, now that Renoise also supports VST3 I’m starting to find it hard to navigate in my ever-growing plugin effects list, since I like to use custom categories like «Compressors», «Delays», etc - and now some are located under Native, some under VST, some under VST3, AU, and so on.

Would it be an idea to make this type of automatic separation optional in Preferences? I’d love if for example ALL my reverbs (even Native ones), could be simply sorted under 1 group, instead of spread over 3-4 groups as it is now.

And if merge is enabled, perhaps format (native, vst, vst3 etc) could be indicated by a small icon on the same line instead.

The current version of the Human/Random-ize features are pretty ‘dumb’ when applied to effect command values and it would be better if they took a few things into account when making changes. Note that everything below applies to the effect columns, while the Vol/Pan column variants cannot be Human/Random-ized at all.

The C, Q and R commands don’t have their values changed, presumably because only they depend on the Ticks Per Line value. Instead, the Human/Random-ize process could detect the current TPL and make changes within the available range. It doesn’t matter if the TPL is changed later on, since any values above it just use the maximum anyway.

Randomize forces the second value to be 0 (this also happens for Vol/Pan/Dly values). In addition to not being maximally random, this also causes severe problems for many effect commands:

• A, V, T, C, N and R use their two values separately (xy), so always setting y to 0 means you’ll always be playing the same variant.

• S, Z, X and J target specific things and most of the time only the second value is actually useful, so always setting it to 0 renders these commands worthless.

• B, ZG and x00y (turn effect on/off) are toggles so they’ll always be doing the same thing unless a 00 value randomly turns up. The value range should be restricted to 00/01.

1. Before processing - 2. Humanized - 3. Randomized

Hi, just tried to activate my license for Baby Audio’s new IHNY-2 plugin in Renoise 3.4.2 on Win7, but the plugin fails to detect my internet connection (required for activation). I made sure to allow Renoise through my firewall, is there anything else I could try? Also sent a support ticket to Baby Audio, but not sure where the problem lies yet.

On my mac I had no issues activating it.

Am new to Renoise and am on demo, saving up for a license. Interested in making ambient music. Still have to learn and develop proficiency with Renoise. Could someone, singular or plural, share some ambient music workflows? I saw one Youtube video which is nice, but feel there perhaps are many ways to make ambient. Tips and tricks are welcome. Do not have sample packs, but have no objection to making my own or using what Renoise gives.

I can click on my external hard drive as a volume in the disk browser, but it doesn’t recognize that there are any folders or files in there. I have all of my samples in various folders on there, can’t access any of them. Anyone know what’s going on here? Thanks!
