Increasing the pre-delay of the MIDI Clock Master
I’m having trouble syncing my external drum computers up with Renoise. With my current audio settings, the maximum pre-delay is a mere 7 milliseconds. This is not sufficient even without using any plugins (which make the delay way worse because of the plugin compensation).
The documentation states that the following is the reason for this limit:
Please note that the smallest possible negative latency is limited to the current latency of your soundcard. If you need further negative latency, you can increase your audio latency in the Audio Preferences.
Isn’t there another way to increase the pre-delay of the MIDI Clock Master? For example, in Ableton Lite I can increase the pre-delay per MIDI out port to a whopping -300ms without any problem.
I’m aware of workarounds that are posted in other threads, such as routing all non-hardware tracks to a send track (or making a group) that delays the audio, but this quite cumbersome and also results into metronomes not being sync any more. It would be great if we could just adjust the MIDI sync per port like in Ableton.

UI freeze when accessing samples/instruments
I have a pretty decent setup (i7, 8gig ram, 1to samsung ssd on W10) but I experience often an UI freeze (that doesn’t affect sound rendering if it’s running but can get to 5 seconds in the worst case) when I read samples on the disk before loading them, or go inside an instrument to manipulate samples already loaded/recorded… After the first freeze it doesn’t occur for some time, like if it was a cache story…
That’s not really a problem and I can handle it without pain but I was wondering what could cause this and if someone else experience this ? I already tried to wipe my Renoise profile and start with a new configuration (but with the same vsts) and I get the same behavior… Could that be that I have too much VSTs ? (maybe something like 50… not that much imho, but maybe ?)
What would you look into ?
nb: I didn’t already installed rns 3.3, could it fix this ? I didn’t see much thing about this in changelog but maybe I read too fast…

Double tapping gestures / shortcuts to delete notes
Idea: Double tapping gestures / shortcut
Example:
hitting A once - > OFF. hitting A quickly twice - > deletes note event
would be practical
bonus question: can this be done with lua?

Renoise 3.3.1 automatic Focus on Sample Browser gone?
I suspect user error But I noticed that when I click into the Sample browser I can not simply start hitting up and down to preview my samples since the focus isn’t automatically set on the window anymore after clicking on it.
how to I fix this thanks

1 key sample preview on Redux
On Redux, is it possible to have a ready e.g. drum pattern, select a sample slot and start previewing/cycling samples in a folder with just on key press .e.g arrow up/down without changing the sample until I confirm with Enter?
If not possible, I think that a “next sample + select”, “previous sample + select” action (e.g. defaulted to shift + up/down) could be handy, even if being destructive.

Double clicking a song in Finder does not work
Hi,
if Renoise was not loaded yet, and you double click a renoise song in Finder, Renoise won’t load the clicked song, but the template only.
I think this is since you fixed that problem with two popup window messages (caused by song comment + some error message on load). But somehow it wasn’t fixed the right way.
I think the logic, when and if a template song is loaded, when the song is loaded and when a exclusive popup is shown needs a refactoring. Maybe like this:
-
If a Renoise song was clicked on desktop and Renoise started, there is no need to load the template song at all
-
A new exclusive popup should either close a current opened popup or turning into something non exclusive, or added to a popup queue
-
Logic for popup and song loading should not be mixed

Synthmaster One macos can't be automated
Hi,
I wrote a report here, too: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8024841#p8024841
Synthmaster One 1.42 macos does not seem to be automatable, it starts to heavily crackle then. I guess it is a problem on Synthmaster’s side, but I am posting this here just in case.
On the other hand, since such a big flaw would be already reported, it might be a problem in Renoise then.
Example song:
bug-synthmaster-one-automation.xrns (11.2 KB)
That example produces heavily crackling here. Once the automation device is deactivated, the problem disappears.
Thanks.

Newly added audio devices not detected in macos version
Renosie 3.31 still only detects if an audio interface was removed, but it does not detect audio interface added to the system while Renoise stays opened. I think you are missing some CoreAudio event here or so.
So currently, you have to restart Renoise, after an audio interface was added. (Sometimes you need to power off/on/restart firewire audio interfaces).
Thanks.

Programmatically changing MIDI mappings bound to track FX
Hello,
I’m trying to figure out how to dynamically map some knobs on my Yamaha Motif XS8 to a given FX parameter for the currently selected track. The problem leading me down this path is that the built-in MIDI bindings offered in the UI are bound to FX modules on individual tracks, and can’t be dynamically changed depending on the selected track.
For example, I’ve added an “mpReverb” FX module to each track, and what I’d like is to be able to control the duration of the reverb with a single knob on my Motif XS8, but only do so for the currently selected track.
I just want a line of code that says “map this knob to this parameter”, which takes in the track number, FX name, and MIDI details (Channel, CC) as inputs. Can this be achieved with the LUA API?
Someone mentioned that Duplex might help, but it’s unclear to me how to use it for what I’ve described. I can’t find any luadocs for it, since the link from the Duplex docs is broken (see https://github.com/renoise/xrnx/blob/master/Tools/com.renoise.Duplex.xrnx/Docs/Resources.md). Paging @danoise on the broken docs link.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to programmatically manipulate mappings for track-specific FX parameters?
Thank you!

Random notes quantized to scale
Is there a way to place notes randomly inside of a scale, other than doing it manually? For the sake of experimentation ofcourse. If not then I will change the topic to ideas.

Undo not working in an old track
Hi
I remember this happening from years ago - loading old tracks and undo not doing anything.
What is the checklist of things I need to go through to resolve this?
Thanks

Midi legato made easy - feature request
As far as I can see, the only way to achieve legato notes with midi/plugins right now is to have two lanes and manually do overlapping notes.
It would be much smoother if there was a legato command that could work with midi notes. I guess it would just delay the note-off of the current playing note note until the note-on of the subsequent note has been sent.

Row (column) racks and relative width with viewbuilder
As far as I understand Renoise won’t do anything if you specify relative widths (i.e. width = “20%”) with row or column racks(?) If that is the case would it be worth pointing this out in the viewbuilder documentation?
The other thing I’ll mention is if you use say a horizontal_aligner with each of the child relative widths summing > 100%. I’m not sure about how Renoise is handling that (or how difficult it is to handle) just in case it happens. For example this is a text field at 50% and a popup at 50%:
Seems good.
This is the text field at 20% and the popup at 80%:
Seems okay.
Finally (just in case it happens) will try something like 30% for the text field and 90% (120% total width) for the popup width:

Projects with VST 2.4 dont load using VST 3
Hello! I created an account here because i didn’t found the solution at google and i need help! I used Renoise for hundreds of hours but i still consider myself a newbie, i love the software. Last year i made some projects using the 2.4 VST version of some plugins, i saved the project and backuped it.
Here is the problem: now i have a better computer, i re-installed everything, VST 3 instead of VST 2.4 now that Renoise supports it and the plugins works correctly in a new project.
The problem happens when i open the backuped projects, renoise says it can’t find the plugin, my question is if this “saved project” is stuck forever in VST 2.4? Is there anyway i can load this project using the VST 3 versions? Really newbie question but really confusing for me because i dont know if it’s a simple naming error that is easily fixable, or if VST 2.4 and VST 3 is completely incompatible… Thank you so much!

Arturia KEYSTEP arpeggiator - Sync to Renoise BPM?
I have a found a couple of posts on this, but not satisfying responses. I cannot get Keystep arpeggiator to work or sync to Renoise instrument VST or real midi instrument.
Keystep is set to USB clock sync on the back, works great play notes, but local arpeggiator or sequencer do nothing it seems. Wish I could get the arpeggiator to work with Renoise. Setup is pretty simple:
/ ------------- USB ----- KEYSTEP
DAW
\ --------------MIDIOUT----------MIDI IN to C64 -----MIDI THRU ------to ----MIDI IN–SP-404SX
Thanks for any ideas.

Sidechain Lookahead
The new sidechain functionality is great!
But why is there no lookahead neither in the sidechain device nor in the compressors?
Don’t know how that could be omitted! A sidechain will often only sound clear (attack defined), if the sidechain ducking includes some subtle (or not…) lookahead…
Going to keep using the signal follower for sidechain ducking, until that feature is added!

Takao - Red Skies (I released my music to vinyl!)
Hi friends,
I’ve got a very exciting announcement to make!
I just released my first tune on vinyl! You can listen to the full track here on Gazzz696’s channel:
We’re taking preorders right now but are limiting to 100. It’s also bandcamp friday where they take no cut of sales so if you’re thinking of buying, today would be ace
If you’ve got any questions on how we did it let me know!

Audio playback Volume 6DB too low vs Sampled volume
Hello there. I’m not quite sure what went wrong, but all of a sudden Renoise is playing back samples that I’m recording at a lower volume than Ive recorded them at. I tested the system in other DAWs and it isn’t happening so it’s a Renoise thing. Does anyone have any insight into why this is happening? I must have changed some setting that I don’t realize.
(side note: When I press command R on my mac to rename a sample it’s not working, and I have to go through the menu. Any ideas for that as well?)
Thanks in advance
