Sonic charge cyclone as fx
One of my favourite software samplers is the sonic charge cyclone , yamaha tx16w emulator
Sadly , the only way to sample directly into is to insert it as an effect ,
The workaround of renaming the dll to fx dll ( recommended on the sonic charge site ) is not working in renoise
Normaly the vst is called Cyclone.dll , duplicating the dll to Cyclone FX.dll and a config file to enable the inputs does nothing
It loaded once as an effect in renoise , but then Renoise would get all smart and present a pop up it was an instrument , from then on it just totally ignores it as an effect
Both the instrument dll and renamed Fx.dll show up in instruments now
Too bad , because It’s such a wonderfull instrument for real time crunchy sampling

Assign only group tracks to grid(pie) slots and tracks
Hi,
I’m trying to fit GridPie into a live setup with a Akai APC40.
At the moment, all distinct tracks are bound to the grid columns, but I’d rather have only the group tracks assigned to the grid. That way I can make something like stems and start complete groups instead of single tracks.
I was thinking to make 8 groups with 5 tracks in them. How can I assign only the group track to a a grid column? So every 5th track?
I hope you understand my question, thanks!
Thinking about it a little more. I think I would like to specify what tracks are under one column. So let’s say track 1-5 under channel 1, track 6-10 under channel 2 and so on. Any idea how to fix this?

Set loop points for multisamples
Let’s say I rendered a vst instrument to like 40 samples , is there anyway to select all samples and set the loop points rather than doing this manually for each sample?

General Disscussion
The level of customisation available now is definitely an improvement over 1.5, but I agree, there are still some things which could be better if they had their own unique value. There have been times while working on a theme when I had to change an idea because it didn’t look right in all the places that a value was shared, or simply because the value affected some other part of the interface which I wasn’t expecting it to. spacebar counter

Simple multitrack recorder (not a sampler)
Hello!
Is it possible to consider a tape recorder section?
I would like to be able to make sound recordings (multi-track voice recordings)
Consider an additional tab that would work like the sampler section for larger files in the form of audio tracks like the samples in the sampler section? We don’t need to record 24 audio tracks, 8 tracks would be great! For effects we would just use the mixer. It would be nice to be able to compose and record directly without having to use another audio workstation.
Thank you for this!

Suggestion/Request: Momentary/Slider Switch for LFO's Reset and Hydra
This is stemming from a conversation on the official Discord server for Renoise, would like to see a way to switch the LFO’s Reset’s functionality between slider base and momentary button base. Additional maybe give the Hydra DSP similar functionality or create an offshoot of Hydra that’s momentary only.

Question before I start scripting a tool
Hello everyone,
I am a software and fullstack web developer and I would like to start scripting tools for renoise, but …
I would really like this feature as described in this post:
Idea: Add a new “Rows Divider” in Pattern Editor
But reading the documentation I think I have unfortunately understood that it would be impossible:
What’s NOT possible with Renoise tools:
- Change Renoise’s existing behaviour. Like, you can’t make all C-4s in the
pattern editor yellow instead of white. You can write your own pattern
editor, but not change the existing one.
Would you please clarify this point before I waste time?
Thank you in advance

Add notifiers when a song is loaded?
I’d like to add a notifier on some member of a song by default like
renoise.song().selected_track_index_observable:add_notifier(some_function)The problem is when Renoise boots up the tool loads before the song and the tool crashes since the song is nil. Also, when loading other songs I need to add the notifier again.
Is there an intended solution for running code when a song is loaded?
Best would be something like
renoise.song_observable:add_notifier(setup_notifiers)

Randomize Track Mute
Hi,
I recently found a little work around to randomize toggling the mute section of an audio track, since there is no effect command (that I’m currently aware of) that allows for manually triggering on / off track mute. So instead I found this route useful, hope someone else does too:
(note: This is on Mac but I’m sure it’s possible on windows as well)
-
First, go to Renoise >> Preferences >> MIDI >> In Device A and select your virtual midi device IAC Driver
(if you don’t know how to turn on IAC check this link -
Setup two tracks and label them Audio and then Control
- On the Control track add a MIDI Control Meta Device and in the instrument panel on top right create new track with IAC as output
- Then on your Audio track enter midi learn mode and set IAC Control Message 0 to the Mute portion of your audio track.
I did this using Max MSP to send out control messages to Renoise for the initial learn, but you could easily do this with another audio program that allows for midi control sends, or even figure a way to do it from Renoise itself.
-
Now when you slide the CC0 ‘0’ as seen in pics above the mute should go on / off for the track labeled audio
-
Lastly, I added an LFO meta device (super handy renoise plugin!) to randomize the MIDI Controller meta device, creating a sort of probability based Mute On / Off toggle

Everything automation?
Maybe I have said it before but here goes again,
everything should could be controlled with automation (also midi)((also midi channels in/out and midi program change and transpose.
aNd also, especially all the stuff in the sampler, phrases LPb, sample command fx slider
automation on scales and note?
yeah, everything, I guess
oh, and the macro, 8 is not enough, why not just have everything in the sampler being automated do as all the other envelopes automations outside side sampler, have the sampler automation go out of the sampler so you don’t need the macros? Would be much easier:)
and also Automation on vst plugin instruments and audio plugin GUI. Thaaank you:)

Get Creative With Limitations: Music making challenges to focus the mind
Hi
I wrote this article on using limitations for Sonicstate:
Music making challenges to focus the mind
Do you have any particular techniques to limit your music making?
What other limitations might inspire creativity?

Can't resize VST2 window
Testing the VCVRack VST Beta and I found that I can’t resize the VST window.
I can only compare to Reaper right now where resizing works as expected.
Is there anything the VST could do here or Renoise forces the initial size?
I’m using Renoise 3.3.2 on Linux and it is a VST2.

Renoise and S88 Komplete Kontrol Midi mapping issue
Hi there!
I am trying to midi map my Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol s88 keyboard to have the play/rec/stop buttons trigger when I press the respective buttons on the actual keyboard. The only problem is, those buttons are doubled with my 7th octave keys. To better understand, if I have an instrument on and I press any of the play/stop/rec keys they will play a sound on the instrument rather than be blank. If I try to remap them then I cannot use those keys on the keyboard anymore. The piano keys become mapped for the play/rec/stop functions as well…
Anyone know how I could bypass this? Also, is there any way I could get Renoise to better integrate with my S88 Keyboard (the same way in which this keyboard apparently works premapped with more famous DAWS such as Ableton) ?
Thank you all for your help!

Linux VST instruments don't work
I’ve tried: Dexed, Oxe, Aspect, Tunefish, and others. Vertigo was the only one that worked. Vital worked but crashes the DAW when you try to close the plugin window

Renoise won't go full screen
Clicking full screen makes the renoise window stutter a second then stay the same size. I can resize the window horizontally but I can’t resize it vertically by much. It’s always covering my toolbar a little bit now.
I’m on windows 11 64 bit

Extended Function keys
Hello,
I just got a 122 keys IBM Keyboard, with 24(!) function keys, with a “Soarer’s converter”.
These extra keys can be very useful for mapping many shortcuts, but I noticed that Renoise can’t “see” the F13 to F24 keys…
Other softwares can see them.
What do you think about it?
