Plugins not displaying properly
Plugins are all scaled way small, and this does seem to be the inverse of the UI scale setting. Sadly, setting my global UI scaling to 100% is not an option. I’ll explain:
So there was a solution accepted here in this thread: Plugins not displaying properly
Sadly this solution will not work for me since using 100% UI scaling on my built-in HiDPI display makes everything else far too tiny to use. I only have this one display.
Is there another possible solution, please? Super unfortunately, this is preventing me from using Renoise as my primary DAW. I can pretty much only use it for sample slicing and patterning right now. I would love for this to work again. At least now the problem is more consistently happening. Most especially with Vital.audio plugin and with Roland’s plugins.
Thank you!!

An (old) newcomer : questions about live performance
Hi,
I bought renoise years ago, and life kept me away from making music during this time. Now I want to do it again, and I have questions about live performance :
in the past, there was some plugins for this, now it seems they disappeared : are they included in the latest version of renoise, or maybe it was just abandonned ?
I plan to use it with a mpc clone and launchpad. Is renoise ready for live performance, or should I buy Bitwig ?
thank you for your help.

Pattern insertion and deletion are slow when pressing buttons
When using the + and - buttons to insert a new pattern into the matrix, for sufficiently complex tracks, it can take several seconds of a completely locked Renoise before anything happens.
The weird thing is that using the shortcut keys to do the same operations make them complete without any waiting time at all. Why would using the buttons to trigger the same action as the hotkeys cause such a massive slowdown and locking of the Renoise UI?

Script tool to map midi to groove value(s)
Hi,
Before I start trying to script a tool, is it possible to use lua for mapping a midi cc to the groove settings?
Is it even possible to map midi to sliders in tools? I tried to midi map the slider in the tool below.
https://www.renoise.com/tools/groove-control
But when I open any tool, and hit midi map, the sliders on my tools are not available for mapping.
I hope someone can help me out.

How to load Kontakt Libraries into Renoise?
So I’m unable to get the VSTi plugin Bassynth to work with my copy of renoise. Bassynth is correctly downloaded into the Kontakt library and works fine independently of renoise. However, I would like to use both of them in conjunction. When I search under plugins in renoise it displays my other plugins that work fine, but when I navigate directly towards the Kontakt library or Bassynth it shows my folders are blank.
When I search for Bassynth via the file explorer on Windows 10, it shows an .nki extension. I tried to convert it with Awave, but my version of Kontakt was too new.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue. Thanks.

Sidechain HPF bus comp master
Hi troops, I’m not in front of my laptop so just trying to visualise how to do something.
In the past (in other DAWs), I used to sidechain a master bus compressor using the main signal through a HPF so that low frequencies don’t trigger it. Just sounded a lot better that way to my ears
In Renoise, am I right in thinking this could be achieved using the signal follower (with HPF enabled) set to affect ‘active / bypassed’ → bus compressor in a simple signal chain?
I’m using Linux and currently just have Airwindows Recurve and Airwindows Safety Clipper on the master out.

Recrueling (Electronic Breakbeat+EDM)
Model:Cycles recorded via Renoise
"Master/Slave" -> "Primary/Secondary" or "Server/Client"
Recently it has come to the attention of many technologists that the word “master” is problematic in nearly all contexts, and most especially when it stands next to the word “slave”
While it may seem pedantic to some, this is important especially for Renoise, not only for racial equality, but also in the interest of UI/UX clarity and being as intuitive as possible, wherever possible.
In many cases, these words have been changed to Primary and Secondary, which seem more descriptive of the relationship and tend to not to conjure images of whips/chains in people’s minds. Another term I’ve seen used for directional synchronizations is Source and Client. In the case of Renoise’s use, it may be even clearer to say Sender and Receiver, as this directional data relationship is somewhat unclear in the places it appears anyhow, in spite of their use in MIDI-specific contexts.
(I, for one, had a difficult time understanding which one is sending the MIDI clock to whom and what direction the data is flowing at all, having to discover through trial and error. I still have to go through this if it’s been more than a week since last using Renoise.)
While these words are still “standard” in terms of MIDI, software dev as a whole has changed to Primary/Secondary or Client/Server. MIDI itself is changing to keep up with the times, specifically to allow two-way communication and I’m confident that when MIDI 2.0 is finally released “master/slave” will be all but officially deprecated terminology. It just doesn’t seem like a relationship we want to highlight anymore, right? …Many people are working to change the terms “mastering” and “master track”, too, for the same reasons. No reason to sound like a racist in 2021
Thank you for considering this important social and usability issue!

Found a bug with the Phrase Editor
Seems there’s a bug in the phrase editor when playing notes with the computer keyboard. I programmed a chord with it for playing it by pressing one single note. If i’m on the main pattern editor, then press a note, the chord plays as expected. But when i now switch to the phrase editor tab, the chord doesn’t play as expected, it plays just one single note. Switching back to the main pattern editor and play a note, the chord plays again as expected. Playing notes on a MIDI keyboard or playing notes with the mouse on the virtual keyboard in the phrase editor works fine in all situations. This just happens when playing notes with the computer keyboard.
Thanks.
Renoise PC version 3.3.2, 64 bit (i don’t know if this also happens with the Mac version)
Steps to reproduce:
1.) load a sample or a VST instrument
2.) program a chord in the phrase editor
3.) press a note on the computer keyboard, just one note plays
4.) press a note on the virtual keyboard on the bottom with the mouse, the whole chord plays as expected
5.) press a note on the MIDI keyboard, the whole chord plays as expected
6.) switch to the main pattern sequencer
7.) play a note on the computer keyboard, the whole chord plays as expected
8.) switch back to the phrase editor
9.) play a note on the computer keyboard, just one single note plays

Duplex - Akai APC-40 - Assigning controllers with midi learn
HI,
I’ve just bought an APC40 and want to use it with Duplex - Grid Pie. Everything runs fine, the grid matrix and the faders work as I hoped it would, excellent!
Now I have 16 rotary controllers on my apc40, they are all automapped by Duplex/Grid Pie; The top 8 are assigned to track control (panning and such) and the lower eight are assigned to effects on the track I have selected.
Can I decouple the 16 rotary controllers from the automapping? I just want to use them with midi learn, and not per track, but just global. So I would just like a rotary controller to control a filter, and when I selected a different track, I just want to control that same filter, so no different setups per selected track.
I also noticed that when I enter midi learn, the I can’t assign the track controls (the upper 8 rotaries) to anything, only the lower 8 controls are assignable.
I hope somebody can help me out here, Thanks people!

Plugins not displaying properly
Everytime I open a plugin the screen does not display properly as shown in pic. Whilst the plugin work, the cursor is not in the correct place. It happens every plugin I use. I have previously managed to fix it so that it displays properly and the mouse cursor is in the correct position on the screen but I can’t remember how i’ve done it - although it’s something simple like closing the screen and re-opening. ANy ideas? thanks

mpReverb seems deviating waveform on short-looped samples
Hi there!
I like mpReverb as I find it really smart and convenient, but recently I had this issue on a track:
You can see that the waveform deviate on the top.
if I go with only with a chiptune super-short handdrawed sample and use mpReverb with “cavern warm” preset, I have this extrem result:
I first tough that was my synths or another setting, but after some tries, I remplace mpReverb by the old Ambience reverb vst ans then:
Also I’ve tried with samples a bit more long and VST, then this is ok, no issues with that, seems only to be on shorty samples like this (when click on “draw” on an empty slot in sample editor:
In Renoise 3.3.1 (and tried also in 3.2.1)

Digitakt via Renoise makes boom bap
Newbie here with a few questions
Been messing around in the Renoise demo for the past couple of weeks and I’m really enjoying (I’m still quite new to music production). I have a few questions and would appreciate if you guys could help me.
-
Is there an arpeggiator?
-
Is glide only available though FX command?
-
Anyone using a 60% keyboard? Any useful keybinds you would recommend?
-
Does anyone favour the trigger slice command rather than actually slicing samples? Any reason why you prefer to do this, and do you do this with all types of samples (drum loops, vocals, jazzy samples etc.)

Sample alias slice options menu?
Hi, Can someone direct me to where to find/how to get to these Sample Slice options with transpose etc mentioned in this post.
I have a sliced sample prepared, and am triggering the slice with the Sxx command successfully, but now can’t seem to see where these other options appear (with hang up, transpose etc) the posts says "If you now open the Instrument Settings tab and choose the Sample subsection, you’ll see that there’s an entry in the sample list for each slice. "

Some 909 from my roland R8M
Here are some samples from my roland R8m dance card ( 909)
Calling the R8m just a sample based machine wouldn’t do it justice since the samples have a low and high parameter ( for transient attack and body ) and a whole bunch of others features to taylor adjust you samples .
It was the techno machine from the 90,s …YUY
I tweaked the parameters to get some additional snares and kicks ,and ploink stuff
R8m 909.xrni (2.9 MB)
Anyway , these samples will give you a taste of the R8M-dance card
