I bought a drum instrument for Kontakt Player, which has its own 8 channel mixer inside that instrument (=has separate channels for kick, snare, hats etc.)

It offers the possibility to then route some or all of these onwards from here → to seperate channels inside the DAW (for example, when wanting to process just the snare but not the whole drum kit).

You select which channel you want the drum sound in question to be directed to - and the routing itself is configured with Kontakt Player’s output section.

So, Renoise works in stereo.

I was wondering about the best workflow or smoothest workaround for this. I’ve never really had the need to route single elements from within Kontakt to seperate channels, so I really don’t know how best to approach this or if this is even possible.

Thanks.

Alright everyone, let’s make something great…

I’ve wanted something like this for a while, and I don’t think I’m alone (I’m taking a big cue here from simulatedXen’s idea from the MBC14 thread). I am hereby electing myself in the coordinating role that was described

So…Why?

Renoise is a magic tool. It is an instrument, with corresponding limitations, excellencies, and culture(s) that influence it’s usage. iykyk

It is special among DAWs in this regard, as it lends itself to a more focused set of styles and approaches to music. In all seriousness, would we have half of the experimental EDM/IDM if vsnares hadn’t posted that legendary vache video, as just one example of the chain of influence?

I absolutely loved @SimulatedZen 's idea for a competition based around renoise-native sound design. Since the “resource pot” needs to conceptually exist before the competition (and has value outside of the competition), that’s why I’m starting this as it’s own project.

There has been a persistent culture of openly-shared experimentation on the forums. MOAR! But how . . .

Enter The Renoise Mutant Sound and Processing Department (alias’s welcome)

Chief export? FREE Curated monthly packs of sound design and composition tools…for your health.

So…What?

Each month, contributors will scheme up their most diabolical renoise tools (in the general sense, not the technical Lua-tool sense). All accepted contributions will be native-device only. This is for several reasons:

• It’s more portable. To @lilith 's point, one can scroll through years of forum contributions and load up devices and songs that people have made with nearly zero compatibility issues.

• It gives focus. As I stated above, renoise is a tool that lends itself to a specific set of approaches. The whole point of this is to make excellent tools for people who have similar aesthetic visions, in order to make even cooler music than they were able to before. If that isn’t the case after a few months, no worries, it was fun to try.

Somewhat more important is the end goal of doing this. I don’t think everyone needs to have the exact same reason for wanting something like this, but speaking for myself (and what I perceive from others), what would really be fun is:

World Building

For this reason, this is decidedly not a breakcore samplepack community thread type thing. Contributions won’t be pruned because they’re for the wrong genre. Hopefully we won’t need to limit or prune anything, but if we do, I would argue it’s because it screws with the focus of having as much fun as possible in building a collective cosmos of sound with you knuckle-heads.

e.g. I want to make things in a universe that has just the right amount of specifity. I don’t want to make an electro tune just like so-and-so famous producer, but I would love to make my own music with the exact tools that the tune in question was created with, for instance.

This is for the community of people that want to build something that starts with “tracker-friendly” genres, and goes somewhere way into hyperspace…the intergalactic outpost you build might be different from mine, but I got there using a ship I built with your custom hyperdrive-flux capacitor. Thanks, she’s running great!

Ok…How?

Each month, there will be a pot of $100. I am providing the $100. You can contribute to the pot and it’ll be a bigger pay-out.

Users will contribute .xrn_'s the pack, and the funds will be divvied up based on some hopefully fair but not necessarily transparent or even democratic process. The details will come, and I’d love to hear suggestions.

Because I’m providing the money, I’ll make some calls on standards/decisions, all in the name of being effective and moving things forward. If everyone completely hates my decision, I won’t make that decision. The point is to make something really cool, I will do my best to foster that.

The whole thing is elective. If you want to, do it. If you don’t, don’t. The packs will be openly available. If you don’t like something about the approach I’m describing, say so. We can see if our ideas can be synthesized

Alright…When?

Right now motherf***er. First round starts December!

Maybe it’ll be a little chaotic to start, but I think it’s good to just get started.

(If @slujr makes one generative-melody .xrnz and no-one else contributes. then he’s gonna have some pocket change in January lol)

Some more vague goals I have around contributions right now:

• hosted centrally and resiliently or something. Everything should be available even if there’s another forum migration or everyone loses interest (after making tons of cool shit, of course). Getting on the backstage would be cool too >:-)
• naturally aimed towards experimental/power-users, but would ideally contain documentation/help to give insight to newer users, or the simply baffled.
• All said, if you made something really cool that uses 3rd-party software to generate a sound, it would be great to render what you can and share the native version/sample.

As bit of a side initiative, I’ve also organized some of the threads that I’ve perceived as contributing to this nascent culture below. Hopefully this will be a good resource in its own right – please suggest additions!

How do I add a new macro mapping to an instrument?

I assume I need to create a new InstrumentMacroMapping and add it to renoise.song().instruments[].macros[].mappings[]?

I’ve found the DeviceParameter I want to map to (.volume_input on a newly created SampleModulationSet which I’ve assigned to sms…

I’ve tried:

renoise.song().instruments[1].macros[1].mappings[1].parameter(sms.volume_input)

But get the following error stating the mapping doesn’t exist…

Hello, i save my sounds and the projects on 2nd mounted drive and it’s troublesome to make every sound i save new to my file directory.

Fortunately the browser on the right side has the possibility for setting favorites - but setting the home directory for sounds by user whould very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
i have a bright piano sample. Has Redux anyhow a filter, that the full brightness only sounds if full velocity is played and as less velocity as less brightness is sounded - like a normal piano sounds.

Greetings, Stefan

I noticed it’s been emulated in Bitwig and Ableton Live. I sure enjoy the sound, but don’t have the understanding of the ‘how’ to make it. Would be a nice-sounding Doofer, I bet.

Hello,
i can’t find in the manual how to find best a loop point.

i have a string sample with a length of 4 seconds. And i want that the loop point is from 0,7 to 1.7s. (see screenshot)

What is the fastest way to make it without crackling. I know the “creating crossfading loop” function - but this makes the loop start in the middle of the sample and the end always at the end. The sound is getting quieter.

And how can i undo? the hook is set, but i can’t find the function.

In path C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 content is:
Modular V3.vst3 not found VST!!!
Vital.vst3 not found VST!!!
Vocoder V.vst3 not found VST!!!
Bitwig Studio excellent recognizes this plugins!!!

Why should I spend personal time troubleshooting the basic functionality of the program???
Make normal support for the plugins as in Bitwig Studio, Studio One, FL Studio stupid-developers!!! !!!

Hello,
on the left side is a field where i can add more samples. If i have e.g. 2 sounds there - is anywhere a possibility to mute the other sound or switch one to solo, to hear only the one i selected?

Is there a setting to make the main tracker interface/pattern editor automatically scroll through the pattern while playing? I remember this being the default, and I think I’ve disabled this behavior. So far I can’t find the setting inside Renoise or in the manual.

I currently see the playhead moving though the tracker, but with a longer sequence most of the pattern is off the screen, so I must scroll around manually. It’s useful in this mode too, but I’m wondering how to toggle it off and on.

Thanks!

Similar to how we can option+click to mute dsp devices, it would be great to have an easy option+click to mute individual samples in the sample list.
Auditioning or A/B-ing layered sounds would be much easier with a quick and simple way to mute each layer. As it stands now (unless I’m missing something obvious) we have to adjust the volume in sample properties, which is slower, for sure

This was fixed in some older version, but apparently I ran into this again:

There seems to be (still, again?) something wrong with the keyboard forwarding to VST plugins. I tried with Repro 1 (VST3) and Vitalium (VST3) and Hive (VST2). It should work when the VST window is not focused which basically works, but sometimes notes played on the computer keyboard don’t trigger notes in the plugin and I can’t switch between e.g. mixer and editor view. So connection get’s somehow lost. With midi keyboard it’s fine and always working.

Looks like that the focus is stuck to the plugin (as seen from the color of the window boarder). Closing and reloading the GUI fixes it, but it’s getting lost again after a while.

This behaviour can be triggered by holding down a key with the PC keyboard while moving a slider on the VST synth with the mouse (=both, Renoise and the VST seem to be focused).

Switching off “Overwrite window mangaer shortcuts” fixes it, but is not a solution.

Hi! I’m working on some new VST projects which i will release within the new year. Now my question:

These plugins also will be the first ones, which i also plan to release as Mac AU and Mac VST3 plugins.

I 'm working on Windows to develop my plugins and i’m able to port these plugins later to Mac. But i don’t have a Mac for testing the proper work of these versions. So i wanna ask especially the Mac users if some of you are willing to beta-test these plugins, as soon as the’re are ready for testing. I’m working on some unique ideas, that’s what i can say for now.
I want to keep these ideas secret for the moment, because other plugin developers might also be interested in these ideas and i don’t want them to steal my ideas.

If you’re interested to help me testing these plugins within the new year on you Mac system, please reply or send me an email to:

contact@mastrcode-music.de

P.S.: as always, all these plugins will be available as freeware when they’ll be released.

P.P.S: i’ve developed a delay plugin a while ago and i also made a Mac AU version (no M1 support yet) of it, but until now i had no chance to test it on a Mac. Maybe the one or other could test it for me for proper work, so that i also can add the Mac version to my download page…

Here’s the download link for the Mac version to test:

mastrcode-music.de/downloads/vst-plugins/T-Force%20Delay%20Mac%20AU%20version.zip

I don’t know if it will work, because i already mentioned, until now i had no chance to test on a Mac.

Here’s a picture of the delay plugin:

Thanks a lot!

Similar to effect device position change option:

Two buttons, and/or drag and drop to change the order of Macros:

Because while programming macros, one would like to set similar macro controls besides each other. But this is not always a first priority while doing creative stuff.

Note: it might be a good idea to rename default macro names like “Macro 1” after reordering. Or always prepend “Macro X” to the begininng of the name and change that accordingly.
