New Tool (3.2): Expand Song
@tesselode wrote:
DownloadA tool for expanding a whole song by an integer factor. This tool is similar to the built-in expand function in the advanced edit pane, but it preserves the timing of notes with delay values. It can also automatically adjust the song’s LPB value and sample beat sync values.
Access it via Tools > Expand Song…
This also adds two keybindings:
- Pattern Editor > Expand > Expand Song… - opens the expand song dialog
- Pattern Editor > Expand > Expand Song by 2x - doubles the resolution of the song with the default settings
The source code is available here.
Todo- Adjust LPB effect commands in the song
- Allow expanding selected patterns instead of the whole song (this is a complicated task that I haven’t quite figured out yet!)

Keeping audio inputs in Renoise in slave mode
@EvilWezil wrote:
I’m using Renoise for several midi send/return instruments - out to my external synths then audio routed back into those tracks for mixing.
I’m now recording some live instruments with it using Pro Tools synced up with ReWire. Unfortunately, Pro Tools is a total dom and will only run as a master. But, when I do this, all of my audio inputs in Renoise are disabled and I lose those synth returns as the I/O control is now shifted over to Pro Tools.
I know I can set up audio in for those instrument returns as tracks in pro tools, but I would then lose the ability to sidechain effects against Renoise instruments and other mixing functionality.
Can anyone suggest a workaround to keeping the audio ins within Renoise? Or better yet forcing Pro Tools to be a slave?
Thanks!

Midi drag drop diagonally matrix
@getit wrote:
Hello there!
I have a difficult question I think…
I want to drag and drop 140 small midi melodies files into Renoise, assign theme to play using an instrument (say 01). I also have a rhythm loop at 00
In matrix each midi takes place diagonally for 140 tracks!
How to fast assign all of them to play in sequence, 1,2,3 etc with loop?
I want to export them in a single wav file or if it is easy better in 140 wav files
Any solutions please?

[idea] export unused samples/instr. to new songfile
@Jonas wrote:
Oy,
often when digging for samples I end up with one big songfile containing a lot of samples. After some first tries, different ideas I’ll end up with the basis of a track only using a small amount of the total.
The rest of the unused samples don’t have to be crap necessarily, they just don’t fit in with the started idea.
I would love to have a tool which lets you export these unused samples / instruments to a new songfile. Automatically cutting away the fat from the initial idea.
A ‘delete used instruments’ keyboard shortcut would also do, only leaving the unused, enabling to save a song yourself. All the manual deleting is tedious. Does something like this already exist somewhere?

Breakbeat modular weirdness
@kyrre wrote:
The Magpie Pirates discord organized a breakbeat compilation, and this is my submission:
Same discord also has a channel going where people patch other users’ euroracks. Every non drum sound on this is borrowed from sounds uploaded in that channel (except one part towards the end that cannibalizes someone else’s abandoned submission for the breakbeat album). I used a drum vst to make an amen like break, but most drum sounds are default samples in Renoise.

Is there a track delay? Can't find it
@retrothruster wrote:
I’m in need of a track delay, so that I can make better bigger sounding percussions by duplicating and shifting duplicates by a few ms, I’ve tried searching the forum for it but never found a straight answer. Is there one or is the only way to go through all the notes and delay them? (That’s a lot of notes!).
I would also need negative track delay to compensate for cinematic studio strings’ 60ms inbuilt delay, I don’t think you can adjust it in the plugin since the basic guideline is that people should adjust negative track delays to make it hit on exact beats

Renoise 4.0 (the Future of Renoise)
@ZeoS wrote:
I love Renoise.
I don’t to sing a praises, but it’s a very special to me, it has a unique approach to write music and awesome UX.
And I really worry about Renoise future.
I have purchased version 2.7 licence in April 2011.
This license is valid for the full version free update, you know it if cause.
And this is what’s making me feel worry.
9 years no paid updates. I don’t really understand how you guys keep surviving with this model?
I really want to support and pay for version 4.0 which will run smoothly on Metal graphic engine, updated interface and great new and updated features.
Please. Resale version 4 and take my money.

Weird beginnings of files in render to disk in Renoise 3.2.1
@retrothruster wrote:
In 3.2.1 I’ve noticed that sometimes when I render to disk, the .wav file has a weird beginning, like some instruments playing that should not be there. When I render to disk again straight away after a failed one, the rendering might be fine. Anyone else had this happen? Happens quite randomly, haven’t found a way to reproduce.

Renoise not playing on Bluetooth speakers on Ubuntu Studio

Hi everyone
I am new here, new to Ubuntu (Studio), and new to Renoise - and I have a question I hope you guys can help me with.
I can play Spotify and YouTube on my Bluetooth connected speakers, both via ALSA and Jack. But for some reason I cannot get Renoise to play on my Bluetooth speakers, via ALSA nor Jack.
You help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

How to create a manual duck delay in Renoise?
@idem345 wrote:
Hey Renoisers,
I wanna create a special type of delay called duck delay with a custom assigned volume automation and I need your help.
If you don’t know what a duck delay is then here is a good example in this track:
Time: 1m 45s
A duck delay ducks the wet signal for as long as the dry signal is playing in accordance to its volume.
In the track above you can hear that only the last bit of the dialogue is delayed, not the whole sample.
Now some of you will say that there are special delay plugins on the market that have this feature. That’s correct and I have used some of these plugins but I don’t always like the way they duck the signal.
This is why I wanna create my own duck delay in Renoise using automation on the ‘Send’ parameter of the Delay dsp. However, I want the automation to happen in the instrument itself where it automatically resets with every key stroke so I can play the sample from everywhere in the pattern editor. I know it’s possible to do this with LFO and Key Tracker device but I fail to program this particular type of automation.
Does anyone know what I mean and can help out?

Announcing a new album : Dualities (14/1/2020)
@chemeleon wrote:
Hello, thought some of you guys might be interested in this (seeing as I always tend to announce stuff here).
Shortly after releasing You Make Me EP (1/1/2020), I realised that some of imo my best work was getting little attention, thanks to it not being available on streaming / commonly used platforms.
“Dualities” is a 10 track album spanning 2 hours, a collection of my ‘minimixes’ - the culmination of which span most of my back catalogue, which takes on new meaning and generally sounds better to my ears in this context… although, in hindsight, calling them minimixes is kind of misleading. More apt title for them would be ‘megamashups’, as that’s what they are :
strings of multiple mashups of my own eclectic material, usually coupled with the interesting subgenre of drum and bass known as neurofunk (though not exclusively). Have a listen here :
A little exposition : the sequence of mashups in the set is designed to hold meaning and relevance, I’m usually trying to tell a story (which happens to work well, as there’s a common thread throughout a lot of my songs), and re-contextualise songs so that their various elements are enhanced - melodies, harmonies, atmospheres, etc. The sound is a little raw - partly because I did all of these in one take, live with a set of decks - that means no in depth tweaking of the songs to make them more compatible… (and partly because my mastering technique is usually flawed in some regard. I don’t have a set formula so it varies significantly between songs).
Each of the sets has it’s own unique merit, but if I had to pick a favourite, it’d be Minimix : 666 (Developer Edition). Subject matter, atmosphere, cohesion, the whole track is incredibly powerful… and there’s a keychange in one of the songs, so I had to shift it’s paired song a semi-tone and back in conjunction.
Of the mashups on the album, one differs from the others : Matters Of Potential Energies (DJ Set in 3/4).
This takes the plentiful 3/4 songs from the album of it’s namesake, and includes some other releases too. Aside from the unique property of mixing with a 3/4 time signature (I used Traktor 2, and it wasn’t too difficult, just had to manually set loop points), all the mashups in this set are comprised of my own material - pairing my own songs together to create an altogether different musical experience. The first pairing - Optisynapsis (Halomass) and Untitled 2, I’m particularly proud of. They are the most unlikely pair in terms of mood and atmosphere, but are surprisingly cohesive and take on new meaning when played together.
The rest of them differ from each other quite significantly in terms of mood, but are at least 174bpm (nominal neurofunk tempo) and usually have drum tracks which are driving, powerful, hard hitting and sound incredible - a lot of neurofunk drums and bass lines are incredibly well produced, visceral, powerful expressions. I like that, I like neuro, so of course I’m kind of biased.
I get that this might not be everyone’s cup of tea - aside from the imperfections in the mastering, they’re not the usual format, and maybe require a bit of adjustment. The idea is that having the whole series in one collection might make the unusual format a little easier to digest.
Anyway, album available to stream from SoundCloud and to buy from BandCamp now - Spotify and most other online distribution platforms will have it soon.
