Hi,
I’m trying to do transient control on breaks using only renoise internal devices.

My goal is to get the same effect as the free “couture” vst. The usual effect I try to achieve is reducing the “drum sustain” to get the drums sound more punchy and less compressed. This is usually in a chain after bit reducing or/and distortion. Basically a de-compressor.

I tried to use the compressor device with a slow attack time, but the result is really not there…

Did anyone try to go this route and got some tips ?

Thanks

During lockdown the last years I had an awakening that made want to try to make some dancy stuff. The style developed as I wrote the songs, maybe I can call it “electro funk”? 100% made with Renoise, but I recorded the guitar in Ableton Live.

Hi!

I had to realize in many cases, that the Renoise Amiga Mod compatibility is not very good.

For Instance…

Space debris.mod
joyride.mod
serial killer.mod
serial-killer(eps2).mod

and much other…

2 questions to this.

1. Why is the Amiga Mod Playback compatibility from Renoise so bad.

2. Are there plans to fix/improve this in the future, or are this abadoned functions?

happy tracking

This seems broken on the newest renoise version.
I have a sample with a sample fx chain associated to it. when i click the “SFX” button, the effects are not rendered, nothing changed.

I’m on Linux

It’s hugely welcome to now be able to use ALSA “default” device.

But in practice I’m getting distorted playback. It doesn’t seem to be linked to the hardware, realtime priority or any other factors.

My default device is ALSA dmix (not PulseAudio) fixed at 48000Hz and period_size 64.

Playback seems slower and is constantly distorted (not momentary glitches)

• Other applications play back fine on the same device
• Changing “Periods/Buffer” in Renoise changes the nature of the sound but ultimate doesn’t help. Feels like if I could increase it to 32 or 64 maybe it could sound correct, but these are huge buffers.
• Other apps using the same device successfully, including realtime use at 4x periods. Still sound ok even when Renoise is using the device.
• Getting these same results with an actual hardware device, or with snd-aloop
• Tried various “In device” settings in Renoise, with some intermittent effect (see case below)

So it seems to suggest this might be the way Renoise is using the ALSA API.

Snippet of .asoundrc:

playback.pcm { type dmix ipc_key 3187 # direct_memory_access on slave { rate 48000 channels 2 format S24_LE buffer_size 8192 period_size 64 pcm { type hw card "Local" device 0 subdevice 3 } } }

Threads seem to be prioritised:

PID TID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI PSR %CPU STAT WCHAN COMMAND ... 6101 6101 TS - 0 19 2 20.1 SLl+ futex_wait_que renoise 6101 6110 TS - 0 19 3 0.0 SLl+ do_epoll_wait renoise 6101 6111 TS - 0 19 1 0.0 SLl+ futex_wait_que renoise 6101 6112 TS - 0 19 2 0.0 SLl+ do_epoll_wait renoise 6101 6119 RR 95 - 135 1 6.0 SLl+ futex_wait_que renoise 6101 6120 RR 95 - 135 2 5.1 SLl+ futex_wait_que renoise 6101 6121 RR 95 - 135 3 5.9 SLl+ futex_wait_que renoise 6101 6209 RR 95 - 135 0 14.2 SLl+ do_sys_poll renoise

Using the default device, distorted:

For comparison, asking Renoise to select the hardware device plays fine with the same buffer settings:

Renoise LOG> ALSA: Open ALSA Output Device OK Renoise LOG> ALSA: Max channels is 8 for Playback... Renoise LOG> ALSA: Force stereo I/O for Playback...

Renoise LOG> ALSA: Successfully created an ALSA RT thread Renoise LOG> ALSA: Up and running...

Selecting a StreamCam as “In device” may intermittently create acceptable (but not stable) playback. I wouldn’t expect this to work because of the differing clocks, and it’s still terrible but at least has some stable playback:

Searching for a more adjustable version of Logic’s “Spreader” effect, I have found that I can create a send-effect for Renoise that is pretty close to Logic’s, without it sounding quite as shimmery, and I can use the sends to avoid having the entire mix processed by it.

Of course, I am also aware that one could simply export the entire Renoise mix via separate tracks to Logic and process each track with the Spreader effect separately, but I’m not in the mood to do so.

So, here’s a nice Doofer that has both the Delay-based Haas effect, paired with the Stereo Expander to provide just a little extra sheen.

Hi,

I’m curious if any Linux users out there have had any luck building Igorski’s VST plugins on Linux. I’m not a C/C++/CMake dev, and I’ve tried to follow the instructions on his GitHub page to no avail.

This is essentially an attempt to recreate a track I dreamed while slipping in and out of sleep. Yes, I know- that is probably weird and doesn’t make for the clearest structure, but nothing I do seems to have that

Just a detail, but I think the GUI would feel snappier and more modern if actions were applied on_click instead of on_release. I don’t see any new software using “the old scheme” nowadays (?). I think it makes quite a subtly big difference in user experience. Maybe dialogue buttons (ok, cancel, save) could still use on_release, just for comfort.

Looking around at various software, I only find that url:s often still use on_release, as if the user should have the chance of changing his mind when clicking something.

EDIT:
Actually, in some software it’s a mess without any logic. Maybe actions that “changes data” could be on_release…? But for things like different views, tabs, transport, on_click feels better imo.

Hi Guys. Loveeeee Renoise!!

One gripe, however, is how long it takes to load in an instrument. (xrni). I am on a M1 MAX and loading instruments is painfully slow.

For example, Kontakt drum kit with 16 velocity layers, takes 2 seconds to load on my machine. But after I sample it into renoise, only 8 layers and smaller file size, now it takes 16 seconds to load!!! A 1gb+ piano in Sampletank, when resampled, now takes 18 seconds to load.

What’s extra bizarre is that they SAVE super fast!!! like virtually instantly. I just can’t get my head around it.

Is this the norm for everyone or just me? I wonder if Dev can speed this up in future versions. If it’s due to compression I would happily disable compression to speed up the sample loading time - as workflow is king and waiting for samples really messes with the creative flow. It also makes loading renoise projects back in veryyyy slow.

Cheers!

Hello everyone,

Apologies I am very new to Renoise (previously a Logic Pro X user), and today I have managed to load in my plug-ins and vsts. However, there are only two that I am having issues with in Renoise, and annoyingly they happen to be some of my most used synths.

First the PG-8X is opening and i can load sound banks into it, but it is not producing any sound for some reason and I have no idea why this is the case.

And secondly the OB-XD plug-in for some reason does not show the preset selector that is meant to appear at the top of it.

On the same IMAC I have checked both of these in Logic Pro X and they are working fine there, but like i say it is just these two plugins that I am experiencing issues with in Renoise. Does anyone know of any possible solutions for these issues ?

Appreciate the help

So, I purchased Logic as an additional DAW for mastering - loving it. It has an effect known as “Spreader”, and this is what I’ve been trying to accomplish with the Stereo effect in Renoise. Can’t seem to figure that out.

Is this possible, and how? Watch this video here to actually hear what I’m talking about:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/8jGk4NSNW9s

I’m trying to get this sound, and not getting it. Please, if it is possible, explain the how-to in a step-by-step process? I’d love to get this part of the mix done in Renoise, before I begin applying the mastering chain in Logic.

The reason why?

If I apply this in Logic, everything gets the treatment - yeah, I can remove the frequencies in the low-end, etc. Logic’s plugin is easy. But every sound then gets the Spreader applied to it, as it’s a master mix. I’d like to do this in Renoise and get it out of the way, so I can simply boost the mix without applying the Spreader effect in Logic at all.

Keep in mind, this Spreader effect is STRONG - I haven’t figured out if this is even possible in Renoise.

Hi,

I’d like to build a collection of drum patterns.
I could use .mid files, because it is easy to find or buy midi drum patters, but the problem is that when I use Redux without phrases, it seems that note sample is stopped as soon as I release the note. Is there a way to play entire sample with midi notes just like in phrase editor? (where a “shot” is not stopped before it has to be.)

Other possibility that would prefer, is only make use of phrases. But can you tell me where I could find (free or paid, whatever) resources to download an organized set of phrases for drum and percussions?

Thank you

Hello,

I’m trying to open a project file but the application never seems to finish loading it. When I try leaving it to load for a few minutes, my computer BSODs (with the error showing something memory-related).

What I noticed:

• Renoise’s memory usage never stopped increasing. Could be a non-sufficient memory issue?
• It only happened to this project file.

Project File:

Anyone else experience the same problem? Un-plugging -re-plugging in the USB cable does the trick, but there must be a setting somewhere to get rid of the error message everytime.

Hi,

I am having problems with External editor of VST plugins. Audio works, but instead of plugin’s GUI I only see renoise’s editor:

When I execute vsthost “Synth1 VST.dll”, the GUI shows up normally:
