Ok, you are in the pattern editor and want to do something funky.
Here is some hotkeys probably not so well-known to masses.

[ALT]+[W] - select 8 rows on all tracks
[ALT]+[Q] - gradual [sample/vol/pan/efx] selection of 8 rows in current track
[ALT]+[D] - windowed detached instrument editor [press [ALT]+[D] again to close it]
[ALT]+[S] - select all tracks above cursor
[ALT]+[X] - select all tracks below cursor
[ALT]+[F] - mixer [press [ALT]+[F] again to make it windowed and detached]

Know something better in terms of hotkeys?
Drop your information here.

Hey all,

I have latency even with using a qwerty keyboard. I have Renoise 3.4.2 on a reasonably capable laptop. The cpu level doesn’t go silly even with lots of plugins etc.

I have tweaked a few settings from the prefs menu but I still get massive latency when just pressing a key to play a sample. There is also the same latency over midi.

I get the latency thing with your eyes possibly to do with delay or effects etc. but not just hitting notes.

I’ve tried searching and trying different things, any tips to sort this out?

Problem: Stability issues with Arturia VST2 plugins and their dropdown lists:

• Windows 11 Pro 64bit
• Renoise 3.4.3 beta (Built: Jul 29 2023) & Renoise 3.4.2
• Preferences/Plug/Misc: Run all plugins in sandboxes (separate process) enabled
• It doesn’t matter if the window is docked or not in the Plugin tab of Renoise.
• VST2 Arturia Piano V v3.2.0.3420 (x64) & other similar Arturia plugins (as Augmented STRINGS…).

What happens

Plugins like Arturia VST2 don’t work correctly when using their dropdown lists creating instability in Renoise 3.4.3 beta. Renoise may stop responding and disappear without trace (without leaving any bug report).

How to test?

1. Load the plugin.
2. Open any dropdown list from the plugin with the mouse, by single clicking.
3. Move the mouse outside of the dropdown list area.
4. Click on the Renoise window. This operation causes some strange delay, the mouse pointer icon is “thinking” and Renoise can even disappear, being dangerous to use this type of Arturia plugins in this case.

I think this problem is common with all Arturia plugins similar to Piano V v3. This problem does not happen if “Run all plugins in sandboxes” is disabled.

I think this problem also doesn’t happen if you use VST3 Arturia Plugins. This problem does not happen with other VST2 plugins from other companies either. Seems like a specific issue in Arturia VST2 and drop down lists and Renoise window foregrounding.

It’s all the same with Renoise 3.4.2, so it’s not a new problem.

My final deduction

There is some problem between the foreground switching of the dropdowns and the main window of Renoise, with VST2 plugins with “Run all plugins in sandboxes” enabled. Using plugin dropdowns is not stable. It would be appropriate to check if this problem does not appear in VST3.

I like to make compositions in the style of various older video games, and when I’m not working with instruments from these games, I like to make my own. To emulate the fidelity common among the samples I sometimes end up downsampling samples to sample rates below 11025hz. Renoise only has preset sample rates you can downsample to, with 11025hz being the lowest. Because of this I usually end up having to do it in Audacity, a drag on my workflow being that it’s a separate program. The whole “adjust sample properties” tab is already great but adding this in would make it undefeated in my eyes. Can’t see why it isn’t a thing to begin with. It exists in Fasttracker 2 (kinda).

Is there a way to continue holding the note, which is played on 1st step of the pattern (and plays for the whole pattern - no off command), when pattern loops?

What sample manager do you use?

As for me, i’m trying to find better replacement for ADSR Sample Manager.

The main thing is to find relevant samples by means of tags (text input).

Any suggestions?

Is it possible?

Maybe some life hacks.

My renoise 3.2.1. does not see half of the plugins. Not sure exactly what files are installed in vst3 format, but it seems to ignore most of them. For example, I cannot find TR-909.vst3 or Vital.vst3 or Trackspacer25.vst3 in the list.
I’m scanning from a folder with symlinks that I created for ableton. There is a huge list in the log with ‘Instantiate FAILED (DLL is no VST Plug)’. But even in the logs there are no plugins with the vst3 extension.

Hello all,

New to the forum but been using Renoise for quite a while.

I’m sure this is an easy one but I can’t for the life of me remember how I did it or how it works…

Simple example using only Track 1, a VST Plugin and the Renoise Delay effect:

If I play the song I hear the notes and delay effect as expected.
If I stop the track, the delay effect will continue and then fade out as expected (feedback/send dependent)

If I play the song and use the mouse to turn down track 1 (using the mixer slider) the notes fade out but the delay continues (feedback/send dependent)

If I use my midi control keyboard (M-Audio Oxygen 49) to turn down track 1 using its slider, the notes fade out and the delay also fades out.

Basically i want it where i drop the slider to zero on my midi controller, the notes will fade out but the Delay effect will continue for the duration of the feedback/send settings.

I’ve managed to do this on other songs but my tiny fish tank brain can’t remember how i did it.

Hope that all makes sense and any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Rob

Is it possible to add new functions to the sample editor through Lua?

I did a search and saw it kind of mentioned, but nothing officially asking for it, so here it is. I know it’s kind of niche, but since the sample editing is so good and convenient in Renoise, it’s now my go to for sampling projects, I really love having the instument list as a container for all the samples in a sampling project, but sometimes I need the more advanced features of Acoustica, it would be really convenient to be able to use that from inside Renoise. But if it’s not really a possibilty then it’s not like it’s hard to jockey samples back over to Renoise. Purely for convenience’s sake… plus there might be some issues with the way plugins are used in Renoise to begin with as far as this goes, I’m not sure there’s even a practical way to implement it, at least the way I would be looking to use it. I did very recently pick up a copy of mixcraft (don’t laugh lol) since it has the ARA2 support and some video editing support and a lot of the time I’d need special clean-up tools is on audio for video anyway. So really having it in Renoise is just like a bonus thing that would come in handy sometimes.

Hi,

I have an instrument, made on a former Windows 10 installation, with vst2 plugins. Now on my new system I have only the vst3 versions installed, hence Renoise can’t find the vsts’s needed for the instrument.

Is it possible to edit the instrument file and replace the vst2 paths with the new vst3 paths?

It’s not only a lot of vst’s I have to replace now, but I also would miss the vsts’ settings if I just replace them in Renoise.

Thanks

Hi,

I’ve installed the beta next to the previous version, which is awesome ofcourse. But how can I replace the old Renoise installation with the new one, and keep my settings?

Especially now, when maybe next week there will be another release available, same release, different name, I would like to know how you guys do this. At this moment I have to configure everything like installing the first time.

Thanks

Hey! I booted up some old tracks in Renoise today and am faced with the inevitable missing plugins.

Is there a tool which will seek out the official download page for missing plugins?

Or something which can search my computer for them automatically?

Yes, I’m super lazy now!

Thanks

Would be nice to have Sample Export Format in Redux, like there is in Renoise.

Right now you can only export samples from Redux in flac format, and it feels limited.

Add this option and it turns Redux into a handy audio editor plugin.

Hope to see it someday soon!

Idk, am I imagining, or is it real, but…

During playback, I can hear a timing jitter - especially on 16th hi-hat type of sounds.

Both in real-time song playback and in rendered wav. Both Asio(Asio4All) and Windows DirectSound and WASAPI

It should all be ‘ts-ts-ts-ts-ts’, but occasionally it goes something like ‘ts-ts-ts-tr-ts-rs’. Sounds like it skips something for a millisecond.

I have included an example song and rendered file(inside the song, second sample).

Windows 10, Lenovo T460, Built-in sound-card. Renoise 3.4.2.

Hi,
I’m having trouble with MIDI notes in Renoise when using my Launchpad X with EZ Drummer 3 as a plugin.

I have mapped a pad on the Launchpad to send C1 for kick which is the standard mapping in EZ drummer 3 (both standalone and plugin), and it works as it should in EZ drummer standalone and as VST3i plugin in Reaper. But when I try it in Renoise the midi monitoring shows a C3 so I get an open hi hat instead of a kick.

Guessing I have missed a setting somewhere in Renoise, but I don’t have a clue where to look so any help is greatly appreciated.

Is there a trick or Tool to move multiple selected slice markers in the waveform editor at once? For example if i shift select 3 markers i can delete them with backspace. It would be nice to nudge or move them together too.

Any help is appreciated.

So there is a tool that auto selects an instrument based on the first note here:

New Tool (3.0): Autocapture From First Note Renoise Tools renoise [3.01] BETA; TESTING WELCOMED Tool Version 1.1 Removed a lot of the unecessary status updates, only empty track is notified by the autocapture 3 new Shortcuts: "`ACF` Add Or Go To Empty Instrument Slot" Takes you to the first unused instrument slot in the instrument list (empty slot is tested/counts here as an instrument with no name) "`ACF` Go To First Empty Track" Takes you to the first empty track, if none are present a new track is created called “NEW TRACK” "`ACF` Go To Fir…

I’m looking for something that does the exact opposite:

I would like to scroll through my instruments and have a track auto selected rather than scrolling through tracks and having the instrument selected.

Ideally this is useful for a one to one type of setup where one instrument per track is sufficient.

However, going back and forth between pattern editor/mixer to select a track and record then back to the sampler to edit can be a bit cumbersome when you have loads of tracks(My default is 128)

Being able to scroll the instruments and know that when you’re ready to record it will be on a preassigned track would be great.

As always I’m willing to shell out some cash for this one. Workflow is my top priority here.
