I am on the cusp of building my first PC, going to start tonight I hope. Why is so much of the componentry festooned with RGB lighting? I get that people enjoy it and why not, some frivolity is great, but I seems like a challenge avoiding it entirely these days! Anyway, wish me luck!

Currently the Global instrument volume is decribed as such -

Note that this changes all sample’s input volumes instead of levelling the output of all effect chains

Pre FX levelling changes the entire tone of any FX chains using distortion or gain dependent processing. Personally when adjusting the volume of an instrument I invariably want to do just that - adjust the volume - not the tone.

A global pre/post option in preferences/song options would be really handy to suit different workflows.

Hey.

When renoise is slave to Live, patterns in renoise doesnt loop correctly. It only loops the last pattern created, it doesnt start from pattern 0. Repeat current pattern only is not activated. What could be wrong?

So say if you want 2 vsti plugins on the same instrument slot (ie 2 serum’s, but separate patches), is that possible?
I need this so I can do complex bass design, having a sub part and a top part.

Hello. Hopefully I’m understanding glide correctly, but perhaps not. I assume the GXX command should transition between notes on a sample, and it does do that. But within several steps (4-8), the sample goes silent. Almost like it glides past the note and into nothingness. It’s happened with large XX values (80) and smaller values (20). What am I missing?

I select my sample, right click, go to “Process”, select “Process DSP FX”, and when I check the sample to see if the effects have been processed onto it, nothing has actually happened to the sample AT ALL. Surely, this isn’t as hard as I’m making it, right? Is there something I’m missing? Is this feature just not what I think it is?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hi, I’m new to this, but not new to DAWs. I see the sample command is blue, it is referencing slice points that exist on the sample, but the sample just plays straight through.
I let it automatically slice into keyzones, then deleted some to suit my needs. 0Bxx works, 0Uxx works, etc. but not 0Sxx?

Found it on YouTube yesterday, really nice and informative video depicting the origins, the people behind and the evolution of Trackers.
Maybe it’s already been mentioned somewhere on this forum, but I couldn’t find it, so enjoy it!

hey all, just want to share a new project i’ve been working on. all the drums and sampling is handled in renoise, and instrumentation is recorded and mixed in reaper. i’m working with a few other musicians on a full-length little combat album (due this spring), and these two songs will be featured.

for fans of casual bedroom pop, wistful beats, and hot tea on rainy days. cheers ~

Hi,
i just stumbled on this post on ardour forum:

Ardour – 16 Jan 22 A Tracker Interface for Ardour is coming (but I need help)

Hello everybody, I’ve been working on a Tracker Interface for Ardour for the past 6 years, reminiscent of SoundTracker software coming from the Amiga. See (DISCLAIMER: this is ALPHA software). It is already functional but slow and has a number...

Reading time: 1 mins

Rant:

While I love Renoise with a passion, I gotta say the company can be a bit rough.

Background:
I rarely update Renoise, because I tend to get very comfortable with the workflow and I rarely want to change. Also, the email that is linked to my backstage account is very old (and I rarely ever check).

Story:
Apparently my backstage account got hacked last year (Feb 1, 2021). Renoise automatically assumed that I leaked all my info on purpose and disabled my backstage account. I didn’t notice this until today when I tried to download the latest version for my new laptop.

Granted, I should be checking up on this more often. I did take almost a whole year to even notice my account had been disabled, but I think it’s still kinda messed up that they assumed I leaked the info and not that I got hacked. I’m still a paying customer. If/when this gets handled, I plan to update my email to my current one (which I check daily), but if I get hacked, I just get hacked … you shouldn’t punish me for that.

The reajs vst window cannot be resized, which makes it unusable for a lot of jsfx… is there a way ?
This is vst2 64bit, part of the reaper reaplugs vst suite. In bitwig and reaper the resize works.

What’s your go-to filter that’s not Native to Renoise? Audio Damage’s Filterstation is looking pretty slick to me atm

It’s kind of a tease having these Macros here and not be able to record a right click. VSTI pitch bend, Mod Wheel, Aftertouch, and other basic controls would work here as well. Having a right click function for Phrases couldn’t hurt here either.

Not sure if it’s possible but it’d be handy to have something that’d save all your instruments/.xnri for you in a project folder or something, it’d streamline the workflow a bit more for sure. Something similar for Phrases would also be nifty. I wouldn’t mind dabbling in coding a bit, I have no idea where to start though

Proudly a Renoise-only production. All samples generated with various synthesizers (many posted/shared here in other posts). No VST/AU effects, all internal Renoise effects until final mastered version in Reaper.

1. What is the “Piano Roll Studio” or “PRS”? Concept

Completely programmed from scratch, the Piano Roll Studio, also known as PRS is a «customizable window tool» with multiple viewing and editing capabilities, focused on the extensive mouse use, exclusive to the DAW Renoise (64 bit, v3.3.2). PRS is a «classical piano roll» that concentrates its potential in controlling 7 important viewing and editing branches in parallel with Renoise:

1. Note monitoring. The PRS allows you to view a complete Pattern-Track with differentiation of Note Columns or an entire Pattern (all existing Note Tracks) to visually understand the composition, using the track colors.
2. Identification and location of notes and effect parameters. Visually, it is possible to easily jump between the Pattern Editor of Renoise and the Note Editor of the Piano Roll Studio or vice versa, to locate notes and parameters, without getting lost along the way.
3. Complete Note Editor. PRS allows you to edit Note Blocks directly and quickly, individually or in groups, with simple or complex editing operations. Click, drag, stretch, shorten, transpose, translate, everything is possible… even preview notes or chords directly.
4. Complete Effects Parameter Editor. PRS allows you to load, insert or edit any type of effect parameter, in the Volume, Pan, Delay, Sample Effects sub-columns or the Effects columns of the tracks. The Parameters Editor (lower panel) is directly linked to the Note Editor (upper Grid) with full correspondence between both. It even allows you to easily create or edit curves with Click and drag.
5. Building and editing of chords through the Piano. PRS works extensively with chords, offering 60 different chords, with a customizable chord groove. Insert or edit chords as if you were only inserting a single note!
6. Transposition Scales for note editing. PRS allows you to load and display any Transposition Scale of the instrument for the 10 octaves of the piano, working with both individual notes and chords.
7. Magnificent control with a variety of peripherals. The editing and operation of the Piano Roll Studio can be controlled with an alphanumeric keyboard + mouse, with a MIDI controller + mouse, with an alphanumeric keyboard + MIDI controller + mouse. Additionally, the supported mouse (and its software) can use «macros» and «keystroke mapping» to increase direct control.

Piano Roll Studio. Notes Editing Mode

The Piano Roll Studio offers a classic design, well ordered, easy to understand and control taking into account its complexity, fully customizable «on the fly», with a familiar panel layout, with the playback of the progress of the song horizontally, thought to interfere as little as possible due to its floating window character. Above is a Top Control Bar, below is a ruler with markers. In the middle area, on the left, is the upright piano, accompanied by the right Grid to display and edit the Note Blocks. At the bottom is the Parameter Editor panel, accompanied by a left panel to navigate between Notes and Effects Columns and to be able to switch between parameters. PRS prioritizes the importance of using effect parameters, moving away from possible simple piano roll layouts, which are little more than note editors. The Parameter Editor is a key point of the program.

PRS is probably the best note and parameter editor ever built as a comprehensive external tool for Renoise, taking advantage of and making the most of the capabilities of its API. The software, and more importantly, respects the peculiarities of Renoise while being very minimally invasive. A piano roll for Renoise should never be conceived as a separate program. According to its creator, ulneiz, the Piano Roll Studio has been programmed largely to be able to obtain and use the Parameter Editor (that lower panel of the tool window).

The Piano Roll Studio gathers a large number of requests or wishes from a multitude of Renoise users in recent years who have always wanted a «classic» piano roll effective to use as a support in conjunction with Renoise to solve your most complex compositions. At the same time, its design and features are clear proof of ulneiz thinking. Strongly designed for use with the mouse, almost 95% of the Piano Roll Studio window surface can be interacted with by the mouse pointer (click and wheel).

Piano Roll Studio. An original tool for Renoise.

This new software, programmed from scratch and fully tested by ulneiz, has been in private development for more than 13 months, in parallel and coexisting with the development or maintenance of other tools, before finishing the first release version, version 1.0. The Piano Roll Studio brings great value and boost to Renoise and it turns out to be a great complement that also covers some shortcomings that this DAW has, more oriented to control using keyboard commands.

If you as a composer are looking for a serious piano roll to use alongside Renoise, the Piano Roll Studio is the perfect candidate. Combine both worlds (tracker + piano roll) to improve your workflow!

Not to get too excited…This is NOT for a new 64bit freebie or cracked or whatever…

ONLY interested for the oldskools who still do 32bitz (like me)…

You see, Cantabile was FREEWARE to version 1.1…Still grabbable…

Only crash TWICE for me on initial plug scan of 710 plugs then all clear sailing…Still way better than some DAWs out there NOW & this from 2006…

Not have near the features of later versions BUTT HAY! It allows record of audio or MIDI & also load a MIDI to play & many other ‘meat-potatoes’ operations…

I actually prefer its small GUI of the time…
