Hi,

This is a topic I’m struggling with for years and I’ve finally come to a plausible conclusion. Other will probably say it’s obvious, but it wasn’t for me.

I can’t get my TR909 or any other drummachine or x0x0bx to play in pace with Renoise. When I use the line-in device and pass the audio from my TR909 through, the 909 is always a half a beat late.

I always thought it had something to do with the clocks of my midi card and the 909 that were not in sync, but now I finally realized that it is the audio latency that causes the gap between Renoise and my outboard gear. The latency is so big, that I can’t fix it with setting the clock out delay to negative or positive values anymore.

When I have no vst’s or plugins or whatsoever on my tacks, the latency is much less, and when I add more plugins, the PDC compensates the delay for all the plugins so in the box all my vsts and audio runs smoothly in sync and pace with each other. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with the line-input device.

Is pdc also working on the line input device? And if not, why not? I think the line-in device deserves the same compensation as other devices have. Or am I missing the point?

Thanks for your time!

(I almost bought a 400,- hardware clock, but I don’t think it will solve my problems)

Somehow I can stop my synths running via Stop mouse click (2 times sometimes). Though via midi command Renoise pattern head stops, but (AU) synths still running.

Anyone experience same behaviour?

Hi,

I would like to discuss in here about Zebra 2 usage. I think it is still one of the best sounding VSTis and has so many possiblities I yet didn’t fully explore.

I start with a question: Can I transfer a waveform from Geomorph to Spectroblend mode and vice versa? Is it possible to somehow “autoconvert” it forth and back?

Hi! I’m trying to get the tal vocoder up and running and I’m hitting a snag. I’m as of yet unable to use the vst synth sounds to robot the voice track. If someone could describe the track setup for how to do this that would be great.
I figured out how to use my own instrument sounds to effect the vocal track using a track group and panning the voice one way and the synth the other way. But no luck yet on using the vocoders built in synth sounds. Any advice? Thanks!

The short circuit sampler by vember audio was set free back in 2007 and now it’s finally now open source .
I wonder since it’s opens source , could the developers take any of the features/dsp algo’s of short circuit into renoise or would it mean an extra hassle to add these in a commercial product ?

How can I assign the phrase I want to play in program mode to a midi controller or macro?

Hi programmers of Renoise, I need your help.

As I really want to use renoise in live situations I need a tool to trigger tracks nonlinear with my midi controller. The Duplex Gridpie has some flaws.

1 running jack on linux, when renoise is jack transport master and gridpie is enabled the transport just breaks. Violently flashes start/stop etc.
2when in record mode and sequencing patterns, gridpie wants to create new patterns to record the mixing and mashing of tracks. however this is also broken and just randomly creates new patterns.

So I was trying to look at it but damn it has like 3000+ lines of code and I wouldnt know where to begin looking for whats causing trouble.
Instead I was thinking about simple functionality that would even make Gridpie better. Let me try to put this into words:

Instead only working in the pattern at the bottom, you can be anywhere in the pattern matrix. no restrictions, no mutes.

the basic concept
when a track from another sequence is triggered, this track will be aliased to the one in the pattern that is playing.

issues
as we dont want to loose the contend of the track that is being overwritten with the alias, it might be stored in a table (thats how i imagine it as a none programmer) so that it can be restored when the button for the aliased track is released again.

further fuctionality
1 copy instead of alias.
When a button of a track is held and during that another button is pressed, the content of the first track is copied to the second, without using an alias

1.1 if that second track is out of range, create new patterns

2 mute
when the button of the track in the active pattern is pressed, the track gets muted

3 simple record
when in record mode activating a pattern will result in another copy action. But this time only the pattern below the cursor is copied.

implementation
there needs to be a navigator of course for when the grid of the midi controller is smaller than the number of tracks and patterns.
to jump around patterns it needs pattern trigger/looper like found on the matrix duplex application (without the short delay when switching patterns)

In my imagination of a non programmer this seems reasonably easy to implement. but of course im missing the big picture. but these are all functions that renoise lua api should include without too much hacking.

Please let me know what you think about this. If and why it actually isnt that easy. If you would like to help me with it. If you could point me in the right direction or give me a headstart on how i would approach a concept of writing that program.

I really am in need of a reliable tool for live playing and using bitwig with redux just isnt enough of renoise.
Thanks for your help!

I would really love to use this tool but it is giving me such a headache @danoise seems like he doesnt have the time to look at it but Id even be willing to pay something if I could just finally use renoise in live situations

As tools like lauflicht, gridpie, cells etc. aren’t supported by newer versions of renoise I fell like this question might be of interest to many of us here.

How do you guys integrate renoise in a live setup?

Actually those comments were pretty nice and very special. I miss it! You, too?
Maybe add your daily comment in here then! Just an one-liner, please!

I’ll start with:

killall -m Renoise

Hey all, I’m new to renoise having came from Ableton. I’m wondering if anybody can help me.

Is it possible to do bass glides like in this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvOVhUu34Dg&list=RDek4VjsK94Lc

Currently I’ve used a similar bass sample and tried to use glides to no avail. I can’t even get the glide feature to work with a sample.

I’ll dig around some more, I just wanted to know if it’s possible to do with Renoise fx to save me barking up the wrong tree.

Thanks all.

not downloaded the latest version yet (which I see has now moved onto 64bit)
but I assume you can still make this specific genre on renoise? I know a lot of people make drum’n’bass, dubstep and trap on it but what about happy hardcore? and breakbeat hardcore?

thanks

I’m trying to get renoise to find a vst. I’ve tried using the default locations but no dice. I was hoping to try making a custom file path but I don’t know where to find where I would add or edit such a path. I’m sure this gets beat to death and I have been searching through past topics. I made the .vst folder in my home folder but it doesn’t recognize anything so far. I’m using pop!os which is based on ubuntu. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Renoise 64Bit - V3.3.1 (Built: Jan 11 2021) MacOS Big Sur

Hi all!

I’m not sure this is intended behaviour, but I have noticed that using track/group commands is sometimes… weird when phrases are in play. (See the attached xrns for a detailed sample). For example:

• I expect C0X to cut the volume to 0 after X ticks of a line, but… it seems to either be lagged or ignored in some cases
• UXX / DXX seem to work consistently sometimes, but I’ve noticed GXX being ignored in some of my tracks.

I also haven’t managed to reproduce this on a small scale (still working on it), but I have noticed sometimes when I use phrases and track commands in tandem, the playback result can change after i save, restart renoise, and reload the file - specifically with GXX as a track command. When this happens I am not using any commands in the phrase itself, only on the track.

I’ll let you know if I can manage to reproduce the other behaviour on a smaller scale - it’s a little tricky since I have a hard time getting back to the state where it “worked” once

The attached xrns demonstrates laggy CXX behaviour in the presence of phrases. I am working on making a reproduction of the very strange GXX behaviour, but that one is a little tricky so it may take some time.

bug-repro.xrns (11.6 KB)

In the meanwhile, I suppose I should ask - is what I’m trying to do supported? Or is this a situation in which “don’t do that” might be the solution? I often use phrases to add/try out a quick octave or fifth doubling on an instrument, and it’s been really odd to see all my glides / stutters get “weird” when I reopen a file.

Thanks!
Jeanine

Finally picked up AlphaForever. Immediately realized that my low level knowledge of signal processing is primitive and extremely fragmented.

Anyone have any tip/tricks specific to AF?

Any “goto” links for reading materials that will translate well to AFs environment?

Hi,

since vendors might change their plugin identifier over time, or better say only the executable name, not the identifier in the Info.plist, Renoise regularly driven me mad, forcing me to fix a ton of plugin ids. For example, lately tal removed the “_x64” from all executables… You might imagine what kind of torture I gone thru!

That’s why I really would like to program a small tool, (since you the developers do not seem to have an intention to fix this problem) which looks into a table with common executable / plugin identifer changes and then tries to either auto-fix the song after loading event, or providing at least a context menu on the dsp “replace identifer”.

For this kind of tool, I would need access to:

• The copy / paste buffer. This also would make tools possible which are compatible for multi instancing of Renoise. Pretty handy I think…

• Read/write access to the identifier of each track device, and to the preset data

Is this already possible, or could you add this to the API?
It would save me a lot of headaches, and also would make transferring songs mac <-> windows a bliss.

This is about VST3 plugins which don’t have any internal preset managers. In the older VST2 format some plugins came with a bank of internal presets which were then made available through the host, mostly in some menu or dropdown. In VST3 format there seems to be external folders now and Renoise seems to know where the files reside for each plugin, by opening the correct folder upon import. Could this be improved, so that the files are populated into the menu of the plugin container and it’s possible to flip through them in a quicker more comfortable way?

I did a quick check how Live handles this as a comparison, for VST2 it uses a dropdown on the plugin container similar to the menu Renoise uses and for VST3 format that box is hidden, but it’s possible to quickly hotswap presets by expanding the plugin name in the file manager.

Not really a bug i think, but just a little something missing for comfort.
