Happy new year ! Welcome to the second edition of the monthly Renoise centric challenge !

Code name of the challenge is : The Synthesized Bus Driver

The monthly challenge is not a competition, it’s a way to share practice and expand creativity together.
You can spend a few minutes to a whole month of work on it, it’s up to you. If you can share your .xrns that would be great (demo users welcome), but you can also share a rendered audio file.
Even if you feel stupid about your creation, please share it, someone may learn something about it, you never know.
The produced piece of music must comply with a few constraints that will change every month. Sometimes the constraints may appear stupid, but this is what gives some fun and push creativity. Feel free to not honor some constraints if it helps your creativity.

For this month, I picked 2 of the most voted constraints on the poll, which are :

- The theme of the song is “BUS DRIVER” (I clicked the Feeling lucky button of wordnik.com)
- Craft all your beats and instruments with a synthesizer, no presets allowed. You can use Renoise capabilities or a VST.

Post your piece (or your pieces) whenever you want (even work in progress), I’m very excited to listen to it.

Previous issues of the challenge :

• 2020/12 : 1 minute piece derived from a single sample with .xrns file less than 435kb

If you have new smart and dumb ideas for February, please answer this thread and I will suggest them for next month.

Open Renoise, press keys, click, copy, paste, turn knobs !

I want to thank all the guys behind the Renoise, for such a wonderful tool! It’s cheap, it’s on steroids, community is great (well, the most of the time)… and pretty much everything else that goes on here… The list goes on forever…

i have one request for the future:
Help us by showing us how we can help you dedicate more resources for the Renoise development (bring up the price, some donation box, or whatever, really)

Thank you once again @taktik! & dear Renoisers!

Happy holidays to all!!

Earlier this year i posted this:
Kontakt Player difficulties Help, Support & Bugs Hey, just bought a VST for use with kontakt player. After I installed Kontakt player and located the .dll file so that Renoise could recognize it, it worked for around an hour. now Renoise will not recognize Kontakt.dll despite my attempts to reinstall kontakt player, as in, Renoise can no longer find the .dll Any advice? has this happened to anyone else?

I recently purchased Shreddage Serpent which requires kontakt player, but no matter how many times I reinstall it to different places and change the renoise VST directories I have not been successful. I also have AIR hybrid 3 which was working fine before I reinstalled renoise. now, Renoise cannot find that either.

I am very frustrated with the lack of consistency in Renoise when It comes to plugin recognition. renoise flat out refuses to recognize kontakt.dll (it will recognize komplete kontrol even when it isn’t installed???)

any and all help is appreciated

I just accidentally lost my 30 minutes of work. I pressed somehow combination ctrl+n and right after i somehow confirmed dialog that I don’t want to save song. It was fraction of a second.

Of course now I’m smarter and setup auto-backup, but maybe, just maybe, adding small delay to “no” button will be a good idea?

R3.2.4 x64 (Renoise.Song.API.lua)

I think it is necessary to change the following property inside the documentation:

renoise.song().instruments[].sample_modulation_sets[].devices[].mode, _observable
to
renoise.song().instruments[].sample_modulation_sets[].devices[].scaling, _observable

– renoise.SampleFaderModulationDevice (inherits from renoise.SampleModulationDevice)

--------- Constants

renoise.SampleFaderModulationDevice.SCALING_LOG_FAST
renoise.SampleFaderModulationDevice.SCALING_LOG_SLOW
renoise.SampleFaderModulationDevice.SCALING_LINEAR
renoise.SampleFaderModulationDevice.SCALING_EXP_SLOW
renoise.SampleFaderModulationDevice.SCALING_EXP_FAST

-------- Properties

– Mode.
renoise.song().instruments[].sample_modulation_sets[].devices[].mode, _observable
-> [enum = OPERATOR]

– Start & Target value.
renoise.song().instruments[].sample_modulation_sets[].devices[].from
-> [renoise.DeviceParameter object, 0-1]
renoise.song().instruments[].sample_modulation_sets[].devices[].to
-> [renoise.DeviceParameter object, 0-1]

– Duration.
renoise.song().instruments[].sample_modulation_sets[].devices[].duration
-> [renoise.DeviceParameter object, 0-1]

– Delay.
renoise.song().instruments[].sample_modulation_sets[].devices[].delay
-> [renoise.DeviceParameter object, 0-1]

Note: Perhaps you prefer the name .mode for the SampleFader device property (modify it internally, instead of modifying the documentation). The LFO and Velocity Tracking use the .mode name also.

@taktik should check out this issue.

Is there a way to play ghost notes with an external midi controller?

I have a following use case in mind:

1. Define phrase with rythm/arpeggio sequence using a single note (e.g. C in different octaves)
2. Improvise a melody by shifting the running phrase with a midi keyboard
3. Record improvisation in a pattern

Ghost notes are important in this case as we want not to screw up the rhythm by retriggering the phase on every note.

I’ve just bought a license for v3.2 recently. Though for years I’ve been using older demo versions of renoise 2.x purely for midi sequencing my Akai samplers. I prefer to make jungle music at a 8LPB and 512 blocks and so I jump around the block quite a bit.

As soon as I got everything set up how I wanted and started making a track, I realized that using shift + page down/up doesn’t work to select parts of tracks and jump down rows simultaneously like it did in the older versions. Is there binding to make that hotkey work? or am I screwed and have to go back to older versions?

I’m curious about this as I’m totally in the box at the moment (guitar excepted) but thinking about a Minitaur for bass and maybe something else to mess around with on the couch and to double up if I want to use some MIDI keys.

Do you have a MIDI controller? Using hardware as pure sample fodder? Things synced up with Renoise and feeding their audio into the program? Renoise purely as a hardware sequencer?

I’d also like to hear if you’re pure PC keyboard and mouse only

Hi,

I’m Using a QY700 as my main Midi Clock and sequencer, and I use Renoise as a sampler which I trigger the samples in it via QY700. The problem is when I want to record from My midi Controller in Renoise, as I switch on the record mode Renoise also registers/records the Midi coming from QY, So to speak Renoise doesn’t care about the channel from which it receives Midi. Everything in my setup is on a different Midi Channel. Is there a way to tell renoise to just record from this specific Midi Channel once in Record mode? Sort a Midi filter thing…

Update: Or another way to put it: Is there a way to disable record mode on the individual tracks separately? In renoise everything goes in record mode once in record mode. It’s kind of weird.

Thanks

Hi Renoise forum!

Me and my wife are making ourselfs a christmas present.

Let us introduce the Triano!

It’s a midi controlled claviature made from a 100 year old harmonium.
We picked it apart 1 week ago and now we have 12 keys working.

It sends midi commands over the local network when a key is pressed.
To know when a key is pressed we use a microswitch.

Everything is written with javascript!

Our current status is that we are waiting for 6 more raspberry pi zeroes for the rest of the keys.

I just published (for everyone) new album “Escape” made in Renoise.

https://www.xtdmusic.eu/?sel=escape&language=en

New songs but also few old ones (composed over 25 years ago on Amiga) in new versions.

R3.2.4 Win10 x64

1. Go to Master Track
2. Terminal: print this:
   1. print(renoise.song().selected_track:device(1):parameter(6).name) --> BPM
   2. print(renoise.song().selected_track:device(1):parameter(7).name) --> LPB
   3. print(renoise.song().selected_track:device(1):parameter(8).name) --> TPL

The 3 parameters are automatable. They can automate in the automation editor. But they don’t work when automating on-track in the pattern editor. They cannot record the parameters: ZTxx, ZLxx, ZKxx (BPM, LPB, TPL)

All three parameters should record the values (ZTxx, ZLxx, ZKxx) inside the selected track as well.

Hello people,
Is there a way to created a type of button in duplex which sends a value to the midi controller?
I have a launchpad X and the only way to light up the button being pressed triggers a callback to send a note to launchpad.

Is this achievable using duplex?
