15 SONGS TO LISTEN TO WHEN YOUR BREAKUP IS ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT
When Adele’s 25 albums came out, my then-boyfriend said, “We should break up for a week just so we can enjoy this album to its fullest potential.” It sounded ridiculous — and no, we did not break up for a week just so we could cry listening to “Hello” — but it also made sense.

I’m trying to figure out which DAW combo to use since I am picky with how I record vocals - probably gonna end up with SO, Reaper, or Live as my vocal recorder while I make beats in Renoise. Going through all my DAWs made me think a lot more about grooves, and the groove mixer/pool functions in Reason, ACID, and Live.

Really made me realize how pointless it is to try to get a really grooving beat going in most non-Renoise DAWs. Swing isn’t good enough and piano rolls/groove templates are so imprecise. But Renoise is great, you just have to tweak the values in the delay column in a predictable (i.e. rhythmic) way to create a unique groove that’s actually a groove and not just a swing knob affecting certain notes.

The only things I see Renoise as lacking in the groove department are two things - the ability to set a negative number in the delay column. You see this kind of feature in Reason’s ReGroove mixer, with it’s “slide” knob that lets you inch a groove just before the beat.

I’d love to see an ability to use negative numbers in the delay column to make lines trigger early. If we could do this, it would be easy as pie to get some sort of groove mixer function going. You’d just need to be able to save the whole delay column in a given pattern and then be able to apply it to another pattern or project. Wouldn’t necessarily work without it, because if you for example make a groove where every beat hits early, with the current setup as I understand it, you’d have to know in advance to type it on the line before and delay it to hit very late. This would be hard to save and share with someone or apply to a pattern after the fact unless you knew and planned ahead and intentionally put your kicks on the wrong line to delay them.

Basically my feature request is three-fold:

1. Some way to reverse delay lines so they trigger early
2. Some way to save, recall, and share entire delay columns’ data from phrases or patterns and apply them to other phrases or patterns, like Ableton’s “Groove Pool” but better because it’s Renoise.
3. A way to make these delay-based “Grooves” scalable to LPB. So for example if I make a groove template in 4 LPB where every line has some delay effect on it, if I recall and apply this groove in a 16 LPB track it would automatically space the delays out so they line up with the same beats.
4. Possibly some way to scale from 0-100 the “amount” of groove applied. What I imagine this meaning in practical terms is 100% exactly copying the original groove’s scaled delay values and something like 10% just moving the relevant delay lines 10% closer to the value in the groove relative to the originally typed delay, so the grooves don’t have to strictly overwrite any delays that might already be in a pattern.

Since it’s just playing with the delay column I don’t imagine this being too crazy to implement, but it would be a big deal to get a real groove function that deals with real grooves rather than just swing/shuffle because the tracker interface blows piano roll DAWs out of the water in the groove department.

Hi,
on Mojave there was right click > open in low resolution - and Renoise worked fine. Not utilising retina I guess, but there was no laggy/sluggish gui. Now this option is not present in Monterey - so Renoise is practically unusable. Even if I disable retina HiDPI and animations… even playback of empty project skips lines regularly…

is this issue related to Mac metal support? I know that Harrison mixbus (based on ardour) does ship with 2 versions, one with 'metal support; which behaves exactly the same - unusable on mbpro, and older build with graphics which are older than ‘metal’ which work flawlessly…

Any help? Thanks

In sampler mode hotkeys such as Undo/Redo (Ctrl (+ Shift) + Z) or fade in/out (Ctrl + Shift + I / O) doesn’t work anymore… But hotkeys in main mode (Space, Tab and others) still work fine. Why some hotkeys are broken and how to repair?

renoise re-installation does not help

kvraudio.com KVR Forum: About CLAP - u-he Forum

KVR Audio Forum - About CLAP - u-he Forum

GitHub free-audio

free-audio has 4 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

CLAP is an open source plug-in format originally designed by Alexandre Bique a few years ago that we currently help to bring forward, along with friends at Bitwig and a whole bunch of other developers from both host and plug-in side.

While there is no official launch date, we have decided to include the current state of CLAP in all future updates and installers. That’s why now it’s in the MFM 2.5 public preview/beta installer.

The main reason we (u-he, others may have other reasons) try to bring forward a new plug-in standard is very simple: It’s liberally licensed. No one needs to pay fees, hire lawyers or go through vetting process. No need to sign weird contracts or NDAs that may turn into future risks of investment.

Another reason is its robustness. CLAP is very easy to grasp and very determined to avoid misinterpretation. CLAP is designed to minimise bugs that arise from different host implementations or plug-in implementations. CLAP offers ways and helpers to avoid conflicts between hosts and plug-ins that commonly happen all the time.

A third reason is its completeness. It’s got all the modern features and quite a few that we haven’t seen yet. For instance it takes into account that some hosts are not just modern tape recorders, some hosts are modern modular synthesisers. Such that CLAP offers parameter modulation which is non-destructive (unlike classic automation) and which can be polyphonic. Things like that, including event based parameter, tempo and timing changes.

Another reason is, it solves common problems. It has fast plug-in scanning, it offers host controlled multithreading (which we have benchmarked with eye popping results), it offers plug-in meta data to organise your plug-ins, resource consolidation (i.e. the plug-in can tell the host about the samples and stuff it references so that the host can gather all that in its project file) and a lot more.

As for reasons that we haven’t mentioned, maybe because they’re not as important for u-he as others, CLAP is a pure C ABI, so people can develop in any programming language they like. It can run on pretty much any hardware and operating system, even embedded. I’m writing this off my head, I’m sure there are numerous reasons to develop and deploy CLAP that I can’t possibly all mention here.

But: Please don’t expect a full blown roll-out in the next few months! Even if we offer ready-to-go CLAP plug-ins, we can’t speak for our partners on the hosting side, and CLAP is still in development, i.e. specs might change a bit.

We are however happy to include host and plug-in developers in our chats once the specs are finalised. This is going to happen, we hope, before MFM 2.5 is released, and then MFM 2.5 can be used as one reference implementation for host developers to try.

We are also offering some financial support to open source projects which would like to offer CLAP support. We’re currently supporting three initiatives, we may have room for some more. So if you have a project that’s currently compiling to any other audio plug-in format, or hosting such, we’re happy to hear from you and maybe it fits within our budget.

Btw. some cool open source projects are already running as CLAP in private branches, we can’t wait to see them running in a cool host soon!

Hi,
question for everyone: did anyone play with video and renoise (by using xjadeo?)
in theory it should be as easy as setting up jack as audio server in renoise, launch xjadeo and sync them?

question to devs: how hard would it be to implement it - as present in ardour/mixbus, To me it seems like a simple import/export video dialogue, which is in sync with the timeline… (by saying ‘sync’ i do not mean that lpb/tempo changes should affect the video The video plays normally without any edit/artifacts while messing with timing in Renoise. Normally means that it plays from the video start marker until the end of video :)).
Thanks

In this article about the Linux Sampler they make reference to some interesting soundfonts that I think we could use in Renoise. The Versil Studios collection and the Flame guitars are very nice quality.

There are several sources for free and open source sound banks in all of these formats, including the Virtual Playing Orchestra project, the Versil Studio collection, Flame Studios guitar samples, and many more. You can also purchase bundles of Gigasamples from a number of sample bank companies. As long as you have Linux Sampler, you have a way to play Gigasamples, Soundfonts, and SFZ files.

I’m trying to figure out what’s the best way to start a project on Digitakt and then finish it up in Renoise. I’m on Linux so I might be a bit limited here, but my current flow is:

• Use Overwitch to connect all 12 Digitakt tracks to JACK (2 x main,2 x linein and 8 sequencer tracks)
• Use Reaper to record the tracks to audio with JACK
• Connect Reaper tracks to Renoise input channels, Renoise input channels to Renoise tracks
• Use Renoise to control Reaper playback while adding new tracks/effects to the song

Would it be possible to cut Reaper out of the flow? Seems like an overkill for something that I just use to play audio files that can be controller over JACK Transport.
Any simpler alternatives that can be controlled via JACK or would it be possible to just skip it and only use Renoise?

Of course it is also possible to connect Digitakt straight to Renoise but I would like to remove it at one point and just use the audio files.

I have posted about this on the Arch linux forums but I haven’t found a fix so I’m hoping there is someone here who knows about linux and what is causing these Errors.

When Renoise is open I get a “Fatal Server Error”, which leads to me needing to reboot.
This only happens when I have Renoise open.
I am using JACK audio sync and have a Scarlett 2i2 Interface and an Alesis v49 MIDI controller plugged in.

This is my Xorg.0.log

It’s really been a while I didn’t composed a new-age track, but here that come finally

With samples recorded from my RAV Vast (steel tongue drum), native bamboo flute, rainmaker, small darbuka.
Made with Renoise, even if I made small retakes with Ableton live to fix some things.

I was posting something on Ideas and Suggestions subforum seeking a more robust way of phase offsetting and it got me thinking of another approach within the limits of Renoise. So, we’ll combine two simple concepts/exploits and to achieve a little bit more robust way of doing random offsets/phase:

• Multi-phrases, each having their range of offsets between 0-255 (0x00 to 0xFF), divisible by the value of 12 (0x0C). Since you only can have 12 columns, you’ll need to create 23 phrases to cover all possible offsets.
  

• Macro within a Doofer. Similar to what’s seen here, the doofer will contain the FX chain in the following order:
  Key Tracker → LFO → Hydra → Instr. Macro

  • Key Tracker: Dest. Min and Max set to 0, Range is between C-0 to B-9, and the Dest. is set to LFO’s Reset
  • LFO: Amplitude set to 100%, Offset set to 50%, Frequency set to INF LPC, Random waveform is selected, and the Desti. is set to Hydra’s Input
  • Hydra: Out 1 is mapped to Instru. Macro’s Phrase Program, where the range is set to 1-23
    
    

• Optional but suggested.

  • Create sliders on the Doofer where one can attach the Start and End Range off the Hydra’s range input.
    
  • The Dry/Wet Attaches onto the LFO’s Amplitude (0 to 100%) and Offset (0 to 50%)

Hi,

if you use a VST2/3 plugin and store one setting to A and another different setting to B, then click A and then B again and then undo, it says “Recall compare preset B was undone”, but actually nothing will happen/change. It should restore then all settings to A but it does not.

Completely missed this interview with @TwoThreeZero Was very interesting for me. Seeing a different approach to use Renoise inspires me alot:

This sounds odd, but hear me out:
-Everytime I press a key for an instrument, I want to randomize the offset/phase of a soundwave
-Currently the solution to do this is create a non-repeating phrase that’s single line and uses maYbe commands.

-The problem with this approach is the instrument engine only allows 12 notes to be played.
-There’s no way to jump lines in phrases.

So if I was given power to achieve what I wanting to do, this is what has to happen:
-LPB needs to be 0
-Instrument allows each press to be random
-But most importantly you can use this phrase to achieve the goal I’m seeking

Hello everyone,

I am currently testing the Demo of Renoise and im absolutely loving it so far.

There is one specific issue I am dealing with so far though and couldn’t find much info about it in the manual and in the forum … Automation.
Coming from a Ableton and Fl-Studio Background im super used to being able to control parameters of 3rd party software as automation as example:

I create a typical Deadmau5 ish arp sound in Serum and assign the filter cutoff and decay time to my macro1. How do i automate that in the timeline like i do with dsp effects so i can open it up over time?

I found several forum entries talking about the instr. Automation add on but that one doesent nearly contain all parameters and is a pain to navigate.

Being used to just “learn” the macro controls in a daw the parameter im clicking its super confusing for me.

I also saw that in the plugin tab there are macro controls but they are greyed out. Is there a specific way to assign stuff to them?

Sorry if i just overread it in the manual but this is the only thing bugging me out so far.

Thanks you in advance and have a great day!

Hi, I am not sure if this is offtopic or here,

But I have a question for you Renoise devs. How are the ReWire transport requests (play/stop/position) that are sent from Renoise synced to the mixer DAW? Is there a formula that compensates the time between issuing a pattern restart and the end of the RWDEFDriveAudio call? Or is the position just set to 0?

Much love,
Maxim
