How to create an autogapper?

Renoise Forum - March 5, 2025 - 23:23

hi, i’m wondering how to create an autogapper using an analog filter + LFO and sync it up to LPB & pattern length?
I had a legacy method of creating it, but the parameters have changed so i don’t know what that is anymore.
is there a doofer example somewhere maybe?

Arbitrary Fader Scaling Values

Renoise Forum - March 5, 2025 - 20:22

I would like to see arbitrary fader scaling values implemented at some point. It would make for more easily controlled complex (multi-stage) modulation envelopes.

For example, Crafting the pitch envelope of a kick that has a click stage and a body stage, or making a bass instrument that also has a percussive click stage and a slower body stage. i.e:

It can be done now using the current fader scaling options, but would be more flexible with the addition of an arbitrary scaling value as in the AHDSR attack, decay, and release stages.

I realize that arbitrary curves can be created with the envelope device, but I would ideally want macro control for the curve shape as well

Hi, I wrapped an insanely ambitious (for me) project a while ago and meant to post it here, but I’m a space cadet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s an instrumental narrative piece in 8 parts that spans ambient, trip hop and some other genres I’m unsure how to properly classify. It was written entirely in Renoise, mixed and mastered in Reaper and includes some images to support the narrative as I see it in the download.

It’s free, as in free. I hope you like it:

High Level Pattern Arranger

Renoise Forum - March 5, 2025 - 13:46

Hi Forum Friends!

It’s been a minute

TL/DR: I would love a NLE pattern arranger that behaves something like the arranger in sunvox. The idea is that patterns of different lengths can be laid out on a timeline, concurrently, as one shots or loops depending on drawn length and potentially retimed with internally interpolated timescales.

If a tool like this exists in the plugin ecosystem that’s great, please let me know.

Some background:
I’m still using Renoise for composition. It’s simply the fastest way for me to get my ideas out, though my workflow has become far less sample based these days and relies a lot more heavily on using VST instruments.

The issue that I have is that my compositional goals are not loopy and haven’t been for a while. I’m more in a mind to construct looong slow spaces with transient, unique melodic passages going through them. I find the grid and looping-ostenato-centrism of Renoise to be a bit unwieldy with this. For a recent project I wound up working around this mostly by rendering stuff out and then arranging and mixing the results in reaper. It’s understood that there are workaround, but the truth is that having to jump between applications and pre-stage parts of a composition disrupts the very flow that makes Renoise and the tracker in general such a joy to work in.

I’m staring a new project and am currently looking into approaching some of what I’m trying to do with one-shot phrases (which are awesome) and arranging these in long patterns. This actually gets me quite close to the goal. Phrases can have their own internal timescales that are independent from the host pattern. The issue is that they are pretty opaque as objects in the pattern editor since they are abstracted away behind a root note instrument entry (ie: I have to remember that C-4 05 is an ascending glissando phrase at triple time).

I’ve considered other tools. Hockey-Trackey for Reaper was one considered option, as well as BitWig, but there is simply nothing that behaves as transparently for me to actually write melodic passages as Renoise. A meta-step upwards in the arranging model seems like a graceful and logical next-step for this amazing tool.

Thank you Renoise team for all that you do. It’s been an amazing 25 years together

LFO Device has an External Editor - but cannot be opened by scripting

Renoise Forum - March 5, 2025 - 09:36

the *LFO Device has an External Editor.

But renoise.song().selected_device.external_editor_visible=true does not let you open it.

what’s the route for hitting “LFO on Track → Custom Shape → External Editor”, please?

LFO Device -> Custom Shape -> 1...6 Stored Envelope Presets accessible as shortcuts?

Renoise Forum - March 5, 2025 - 09:31

Hi, I saw @XTD briefly talk about this but it seems the question vanished.

so wouldn’t it be pretty neat if you had a way of calling specific Stored Envelope Presets in the Custom Shape?

Receiver Doesn't Match Actual Sent Audio

When controlled by a Meta Device, the text in Receiver box doesn’t match to where the audio is actually being sent. In this example S01 is panned left, S02 is centered, S03 is panned right.

How would you scratch a sample?

Renoise Forum - March 2, 2025 - 23:37

I was just thinking about how you might scratch a sample the way you would scratch a record using Renoise? The only way I know to affect playback speed and direction is through effect commands Uxxx and Dxxx, but maybe if you attach the sample playhead value to an operand control so you could control it with midi? Is there any meta device or parameter that would give you tactile control if you assigned it to a midi controller?

The only other thing you would need to reproduce a basic turntable setup would be a crossfader that would let you link two tracks together and control their volume with one control. I’m imagining maybe a two-part meta device called crossfader track a and crossfader track B that could talk to each other and fade between three states: 100% A, 100% A + B, and 100% B.

Legato, last note priority and midi input

Renoise Forum - March 1, 2025 - 18:32

So I’m doing a project where renoise is the sound source controlled from midi. Sample based instruments only, only native plugins.

If I do the following:

  1. press C
  2. press D
  3. lift D

I would expect to hear

  1. C
  2. D
  3. C

But I hear

  1. C
  2. D
  3. nothing

Is there either a setting somewhere to change the behavior into what I expect or a work-around?

Disk Browser Load Sample Notifier?

Renoise Forum - February 28, 2025 - 21:52

hi, is there a notifier that lets me detect the disk browser has loaded a sample?
i can’t use sample_buffer notifier, because then it’ll be shot every single time i modify the sample, or duplicate a sample, or record a sample.

i need to specifically do better than “Load with Options”.

I’ve already circumvented the usage of the Disk Browser with the Paketti Loader, which allows for this:

CLAP format extensions

Renoise Forum - February 28, 2025 - 12:48

This might be off-topic, but I find it interesting that there seems to be a lot going on in the CLAP world lately. There are various extensions added to CLAP, still in draft, also a lot of established ones:

github.com clap/include/clap/ext/draft at main · free-audio/clap

Audio Plugin API. Contribute to free-audio/clap development by creating an account on GitHub.

mini-curve-display.h // This extension allows a host to render a small curve provided by the plugin. // A useful application is to render an EQ frequency response in the DAW mixer view. gain-adjustment-metering.h // This extension lets the plugin report the current gain adjustment // (typically, gain reduction) to the host.

Having a hard time to find the VST3 counterparts. I am quite sure that extensions also exist in VST3:
https://steinbergmedia.github.io/vst3_dev_portal/pages/Technical+Documentation/API+Documentation/Index.html#extensions

github.com vst3_pluginterfaces/vst at master · steinbergmedia/vst3_pluginterfaces

Do you have some insights for me about this topic ?

API: Resizing multiple child elements without using IDs. Is this possible?

Renoise Forum - February 28, 2025 - 09:19

If I have a container, for example row with ID and inside it I have a class that defines a text element loaded with iteration about 100 times inside the column and this class does not have ID, would it be possible for example, to change the width of all 100 texts without using the class ID? I would only have the row container ID.

--class of text without ID text{ --bla bla bla } row{ id ="ROW_1", --iterate to insert the class } --the iteration function to insert the class inside the row repeatedly local function change_width() --the function I ask: How to create a simple function that simply modifies the width of all 100 class texts --only knowing the ID of the container "ROW_1". Is it possible? end

Renoise on an old macbook?

Renoise Forum - February 28, 2025 - 06:33

Hello,

I was given a late 2012 13" macbook pro. I’ve never owned a Mac before so i know very little about them.

Over the years my rig has evolved into a hefty PC based thing, many TBs of data and lots of VST and hardware synths etc. I use it professionally and i dont really use Renoise anymore since Ableton dropped the rewire support, which is sad.

So I thought maybe this little Mac could run Renoise and an old version of Ableton Live and that might give me a nice portable rig that could spark some creativity and fun back into my music making.

I’m wondering, given the vintage of this little Mac, which version of Renoise you would recommend and if you have any other advice that might help me shape the laptop up into a productive unit.

Many thanks, im a total apple newb.

Cheers

Support for VST2/VST3 gain reduction reporting to DAW

Renoise Forum - February 27, 2025 - 18:19

Seems like VST3 and also VST2 has a feature to report gain reduction to the DAW. Maybe some kind of extension. It is supported in Reaper and Protools, if a plugin provides the gain reduction, then it will be displayed straight within the mixer’s meter. Others dunno.

Have a watch here:

#REAPER7 Gain Reduction Metering

Also read here:
https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9048018

Maybe Renoise could support this, too? And maybe even could sum up the reduction, if there are multiple plugins in the chain reporting a reduction…? not sure, if this only makes sense if one set to input metering… Maybe both.

Thanks for consideration!
