I recorded modwheel directly into track fx (default). I know that I can do it using automation, but that was not anything comples. And Renoise saves it as:

M0 EC -101
(for example - different values)
using delay column as parameter.

Problem is that for some reason it creates notes delay too.

So, I downloaded this plugin as a trial, and I really like it! It does over-modify some of the frequencies a bit more than I’d like, so I wondered if some variation of this could be designed with native Renoise tools?

Type A is a plugin inspired by the famous Dolby A Trick technique. It emulates the encode stage dynamically increasing the top end of a signal.

Price: €59

It’s layout is documented here (on page 6):

235.51 KB

The reason I’m curious to know if this can be emulated is because the idea of this working as a single Doofer versus setting up a chain to 4 individual sends makes this seem ideal as another ‘spice’ device. Spice Device! Slap it on as part of the ‘mastering chain’ kinda ‘spice’. I did think of adding this as 4 separate sends - but then I’d have to add a send device to every track in my song. I’d rather just pop a Doofer in place before my mastering chain.

It really did a nice thing with the overall sound of the track, and while I can afford the plugin, I’d rather stick with Renoise solely and no VST/AU additional plugins.

I’m trying to recreate a tool I had that would apply a theme as a song is loaded (theme named after the song), i lost the tool when migrating from linux to windows.

I’m ok with most of it, but the main function renoise.app():load_theme() is failing to apply the theme, but gives no error:

renoise.app():load_theme(‘full path to theme’)
renoise.app():load_theme(‘theme name only with extension’)
renoise.app():load_theme(‘theme name without extension’)

I can make it error by using an undeclared variable, so i know the function is working:

renoise.app():load_theme(dfghjkl)
*** TestPad.lua:15: variable ‘dfghjkl’ is not declared

Where am I going wrong? Any help, or even ‘go read this’ much appreciated.

I thought that F9 jumped to the top of the Edit key list but I cannot get it to do that anymore; I swear that I could before but now I’m unable to do so. I tried starting a fresh Renoise song and doing a Reset in the Preference Keys but it isn’t working either. I don’t know what to do and I’m not really sure what it’s called in the keybinder either.

I was watching this:

And I thought: “it’s 2022. we should have normal midi import in Renoise.”

Why isn’t this fixed yet or high on the to-do list?

In the Search box in Keys in Preferences it should be possible to press the key and see what it’s already binded to; if that makes sense.

Maybe you’ll find this helpful if you’re learning to make similar stuff:

The only external plugin you may need is free Valhalla Supermassive

Hi everyone,

I cannot seem to find a way to have my pad controller play a sample through without physically holding the button for the duration of the sample. The controller I have is a newly acquired Midi Fighter 3D and it does not have a dedicated hold function which I have used on my Keystep to get arround this issue.

Is there a way in Renoise to not equate a midi key-release with a note-off command and have all samples play through once triggered.

Many thanks in advance :))

1. When using multiple drum breaks what processing do you use on individual breaks, compared to your breaks inside of a group.

For instance, I have a group track where I keep all my breaks, and then individual tracks for each break. On my group track I will have a high pass filter to keep space for my bass, and I will also use a compressor to glue the breaks together (I guess… I just kind of wing it when it comes to compressors).

On each individual drum break I will have things like repeaters, comb filters, reverb etc. I will toggle these effects on and off throughout the track to get that typical intricate Drill n’ Bass sound.

Just curious how other producers of this type of music do things. I get overwhelmed when I have too many tracks and have to scroll left and right and to see everything. I’m always looking for ways to be more efficient

2. Any tips for gluing breaks together so everything sound cohesive.

As I said before when it comes to compressors I just wing it. Is a compressor all you need to glue breaks together? Would EQing the group of breaks as a whole also help to achieve this sound?

3. FInally, would someone be so kind as to share a .xrns file where they have a lot of different breaks and effects used so that I can see other peoples workflow?

Thanks

It’d be nice if Renoise had a way to study the shapes of sound without having to get sand everywhere…

Hello, all my tracks on my channel bassfrienderz are made with renoise. I compose within genres like game music/hardcore/tekstyle/freestyle/dnb/scene/chiptunes .

Just to share a few above. Always want to improve at the software

I would like to record a track in real time, and adjust various parameters of some plugins that I am using while the track is playing.

For example, I want to manually adjust a knob on a synth plugin to adjust the cutoff frequency of a high pass filter throughout the recording of the track. Is this something possible to do in renoise?

In the past I have rendered song to disk offline, but today I was trying to render song to disk in ‘real time’, but that does not seem to facilitate what I want to do. Any help is much appreciated, thank you.

Track 4 at the left shows pitch shifting with normal keyboard tranposition + sample offset
The right track uses the pitch up command +sample offset
The results sound totally different .
Anyone knows why ?

As a new Renoise user, and someone with zero coding experince, I’ve decided to throw myself into the deep end and am attempting to directly edit a renoise file in text editor. Silly, I know.

I am doing this because I want to use Renoise to convert environmental data into sound. Using excel I have converted a year’s worth of measurements from an oceanic wave measuring buoy into HEX values that fall within Renoise’s useable range, and with these values I am controlling FX parameters in the VCV Rack VSTi.

To date I’ve input the data manually into each line of a pattern, and I now have a working prototype. It’s slow going though and now I want to find a way to bulk input this data directly into the renoise xrns file. I have access to 20 years of data recorded in half hour increments, so yeah, an insane amount of data that I could potentially use.

My first step has been to try this on the smallest possible scale, so that I’m not changing anything coding wise, but only a single parameter value. I’ve tried it in this way:

Unzip the xrns file using unarchiver (on an M1 mac). i read that renoise files are renamed zip files, and it seems that they at least open in as zip files do.

Open the now revealed XML file in text edit.

Find a parameter in the “Lines” section of the code, and simply change this from say 6E to 6F. No other changes to code.

Save and close the XML file

Right click and compress the XML file so that it is now contained in a ZIP file. There is no sample data in the original file so no Samples folder to compress.

Change the extension on the resulting .zip file to .xrns so that it wlll open in Renoise.

When I go to open the file in Renoise, it recognises the extension, but won’t open the file. Error message is “Loading failed with the error:
Invalid Zip file!.”

This happens with XML files that i have unzipped and rezipped without changing the file. The edited xml files also open successfully in an XML specific editing program without errors.

If renoise files are really just renamed zip files, i don’t understand why the process wouldn’t work. There’s probably something really basic and fundamental that I’m missing here. Could it be in the way that I’m re-zipping the file?

Thanks in advance.
B
