Hi there ppl and first of all, Renoise development crew!

I got two things regading Renoise 3.4.1 version I just downloaded and working on it.

1. In terms of sidechain, I remember when I could use this tool (Renoise up to 3.3.1), I was able to assign whatever parameter of an effect could be triggered by signal in a channel (for xmpl a kick drum), like I often used gainer effect and a gain was a parameter to use for a sidechained signal (for xmpl a bassline). Or, I could make some more sophisticated way like turning down low frequencies on EQ 10 effect, just to have sidechained signal still audible, but when kick enters, low freqs of bass was cut off. But, now on Renoise 3.4.1…I cannot do it. So the question is, could you please go back to that sidechain effect back again? Or maybe 2 different sidechains could be implemented at once in new version, just like EQ 5 and EQ 10? This would be perfect, as I have to go back to my previous Renoise version
2. This is not as much changing the way effects works as previous point, but what I noticed when using Chorus or Flanger: when activating additional filter on the right part of it, 4 xmpl activating BP Moog, when moving frequency slide you can see a big amount of Hz up for 1/7 slide range fromt he left, then suddenly you see “Inf Hz” from this point up to maximum. In previous renoise versions that showed real frequency range. I think its just a bug, but does not affect sound at all.

Btw, any of you other noticed some bugs maybe? Let me know if there are some.

Thanks!

Hey, does anyone know of any way you can randomize the instrument column, preferably within a defined range? Similar to the randomize notes tool perhaps. I want to speed up my workflow for hocketing between different vsts. Thanks.

HI,

in the Plugin section of renoise ist there a chance to change multiple bus entries under Audio Routing at once? Or do I have to change every single entry? Example: Drumazon vst has 12 busses and I want to change them all to track 4 - how can I select all entries and set them to track 4? Or do I need to change every single entry one after another?

I would welcome it if an Modulator looks a bit Different to an Effect.

That will make it easier at the first look in a Chain and it makes a easier brain-anchor, when u think that u want modulate something and know how it looks instantly…

• it can be a colored border
• it can be an different background tone color
• it can named as Modulator

i like the second one

Please, add the button to easily split a loop (long sample) into separated samples buy its slices.
So, you’ll be able to slice the loop, and then convert every slice to sample for further editing.

Please, disable replacing named slot to “New sample x” when you paste sample to a named slot

There’s an issue where showing and then hiding the Pattern Matrix will move your cursor to a different track. It happens when you have enough tracks that you have to scroll horizontally to reach the rightmost ones.

This way I can reproduce it easily.

• Create 16 tracks
• Move to track 16 in the editor window
• “Show” Pattern Matrix
• “Hide” Pattern Matrix

On that final step my cursor is moved from track 16 to track 13, but this depends on the “width” of the different visual elements, so it’s just an example. All I did between these screenshots is hit Tab 2 times (which is my shortcut for this function).

I toggle in and out of my Pattern Matrix pretty much constantly in my workflow, and it has become quite a grating hiccup. It feels very unintuitive that toggling a visual element would move my actual navigational cursor. Hope it can be can be looked at, or that I’m missing something.

Thanks!

Since I’m still in the process of begging for true granular functionality within Renoise, I continue to make small Doofers that will give SOME of the effects I hope to create from using Renoise’s sampler alone.

One such granular entity is a ‘crackling’ sound; small clicks and pops that would occur on a sustained (or any) sound if a granular effect device was set as a pass-through. A blended sound.

This Doofer can be placed either directly on an Instrument’s channel or as a Send Effect. It requires a sound to pass through it to have any sort of crackling happen. Thinking about it here - let’s say one would want the effect to be happening, but not heard - I do not know how to trigger the sound without another sound passing through it, as it requires sound to pass through the PDC Test Delay device. I’m using the Signal Follower device as a very light Attack/Release/Filter - not too sure how much it’s doing beyond adjusting the frequency ranges the PDC Test Delay can be heard.

In any case, here’s another Doofer that kinda/sorta gives me an effect that I’d want to create with a real Renoise-native granular device.

Hi,

I’ve seen a few other topics about this from years ago - i’ve just got back into using Renoise after years away from it… is it possible to sequence the groove settings in the master channel?

Thanks

Wheneven I turned time stretch on for a sample(no matter percussion or texture mode) … some of the pattern commands introduces crackles when used, specially vibrato and G command. Anyway to fix this?

It would be very convenient if there was a setting to disable the packaging of samples in the project file, to load them from disk.

• Many DAWs use periodic project backups, and since samples in the uncompressed wav format are packed into VST Chunk, a project can weigh a lot if there are a lot of samples and Redux instances. And if such saves accumulate, the folder can very quickly begin to take up gigabytes. At the same time, the behavior as it is now is very convenient for transferring the project.
• The same instruments can be used in multiple projects. On the one hand, the current behavior is convenient, since instruments and samples are unique in each project, and changing one does not change all the others, but on the other hand, sometimes the opposite behavior is needed. Firstly, it can drastically reduce the disk space occupied by the instrument (for example when you use several huge instruments), and secondly, it allows you to replace samples in all projects at once. This behavior requires knowledge of what you are doing, so the default settings should be left as the current behavior.

I propose to implement two sample search strategies: an absolute folder path and a relative path. Moreover, these settings must be written to the system configuration, not in the project itself.
Then a person can allocate a global folder for storing tools

1. What to store separately, and what, nevertheless, in the project? On the one hand, you can load the entire instrument from disk, with all the samples and settings, but then when you change the instrument in one project, it will change in the others, which is not obvious. On the other hand, you can store only samples as separate wav files, while the rest of the parameters take up little space and are successfully saved to the project. But in this case, you need to think over the convenient organization of samples and search in subfolders in order to prevent a huge number of samples from all instruments in one folder at once, as this is very inconvenient.

• If the settings specify the packaging of samples in the project, the current behavior remains.
• If the settings specify the loading of samples from the disk, the samples are copied to the specified folder, and a flag is added to the project that the samples must be searched on the disk.

• If the project does not have a flag that samples must be searched on disk, the current behavior remains.
• If the project has a flag that samples must be searched on disk, samples are searched (see Topics for discussion #1 and Searching for samples above) in a subfolder of the specified global folder. If the sample is not found, a window pops up asking you to specify the path to this sample. After specifying the path, the sample is copied to the search folder.

This is a very important request, the absence of this feature prevents us from using Redux as a sampler because our projects (especially the backup folder) start to weigh gigabytes. We have to use less convenient solutions that take samples directly from the disk. At the same time, the current behavior is very convenient for security and portability, so it should be left as the default behavior.
I really hope that this proposal will find a response and will be implemented.

I have a MIDI controller with assignable “endless” knobs that I’d like to assign to some of the basic Renoise features. Ideally I’d like to have one knob that transposes the selected note up or down, one that adjusts its volume, one for pan, etc.

Is this functionality builtin to Renoise? I don’t see it in the MIDI Mapping section. Is it something that needs to be scripted?

Hello together!

I ever and ever stuck again in same not good behaviour between pattern editing. The Selection are lay down under the editbar. It’s simply not a good Gui/Workflow behaviour. It overloads the edit position with not needed information and lowered the visibility in some cases addicted to selected theme. I tested all Gui config options for pattern edit. i dont get this behaviour disabled. Is there a way oder a Tool maybe? I would prefer set the selection only if i press a key with the mouseclick. Then you could jump/navigate to edit position easely with a single click and can edit in clear and simple way over the editbar. Especially for long patterns this would very usefull. What you think about this? The single Note drag & drop fails often anyway, then better this should seperated in some way.

happy tracking

Somewhat recent I was at KVR & just happened to mention that if a person was DEMOing a commercial plug you might as well record some samples for personal use…

Well, several members jumped on me like I was the biggest piece-o-shitz in the cosmos & one said that “If I were a Moderator I’d BAN you so fast it would make your F%@#King head spin!”…Oh really? Just because you are pissed?

My response was…UHHHhh…Well, you know the movie ‘Deliverance’ don’t you? They had a hard time trying to find an actor who would have their two front teeth pulled for the second rapist hillbilly…However they discovered Herbert Coward who already had 'em missing through Burt Reynolds. So on the phone with Coward they stated frankly “You know that in your role as a rapist hillbilly you’ll be simulating the rape of a MAN”…His response was “I’VE DONE WORSE!”…

So my response was basically THAT…“I’ve done worse”. Now THIS IS THE CATCH!!

It appears that nobody knows how to debate or even wants to engage in it!!

I lay down the argument that many, MANY desktop musicians have created & rendered out FULL COMPOSITIONS using DEMO plugs…That’s like a big long single sample!

For the second round much more to add I state that many…MANY youtube channels record & publish videos of DEMO plugs, uploaded for all to see on channels that are MONETIZED!!..Yes, money made on these and since money made there is legal right for compensation…

Yet, of course, these subjects are avoided as there are no responses for them…

Nope, back to me being a piece-o-shitz…

During this I was mentioning Tone2’s seek-n-destroy of blacklisted keys & other facets of their products then Krause himself comes on & denies it as being ‘spyware’…Well, if it’s looking about your machine for ANYTHING, it’s SPYWARE!

He then states he’s putting in a request to have me banned, etc…Well, it didn’t work and for someone LIKE ME a developer making enemies with me, well, I won’t say anything HERE, leave it to your imagination…Tone2 has become my new hobby…I see their products in a ‘whole new light’…

The point of this is not the particulars…I don’t care, If I HAD been banned I could just come on again under new email-username…And all the pertinent posts have been wiped out in the thread by admins…

Fact remains…I am lowest for considering making samples from demo plug for personal use only whilst everyday tons of others make money using same plug, that THEY have not purchased, in a video, published for all to see, on their monetized channel…

I really dig Synth String Thing, by Danoise Deccan, but every time I try and do anything fancy my computers CPU gets bogged down and a dialog box pops up that says “The audio engine was stopped because it used too much CPU for quite a long time. Note: You can disable this behavior in the audio preferences pane…”

Is there a way of optimizing the instrument so it runs better?

Urs Heckmann of U-he made an announcement on KVR that the long awaited, long anticipated Zebra 3 is not too far off. Zebra 3 and Zebra Legacy - u-he Forum - KVR Audio

His post has a lot of interesting information in it. While still at least a year off, U-he is offering some pretty good incentive deals for those who own the Zebra2 and Dark Zebra as well. It appears there may also be a Zebralette 3 released for user feedback too.

This is just WishLand stuff to be sure. I’m doing sound designing with U-he’s Zebra2 and Dark Zebra currently. I would dearly love to see a Linux vsthost similar to Hermann Seib’s vsthost for windows: VSTHost

Just a keyboard and no frills. I’ve looked all over and simply haven’t found anything that doesn’t either require WINE or loads a ton of libraries (Carla) onto my OS.

This is my first album. It’s an experimental dungeon synth made in Renoise.

Thanks.
