Having trouble wrapping my head around chords in the phrase editor
This is probably a really dumb question. I’ve been trying to improve my music theory knowledge and feel like I’m making some good progress. But what happens when I trigger a C minor chord in a phrase with lets say a D#4 instead of a C4? It sounds like a rave stab when I trigger it with different notes, but not sure what’s happening to the actual triad of notes. So, if I write a chord progression within the phrase editor in the C minor scale I should trigger it with a C note right? And would it be in a different key otherwise? I’m starting to think of it as like an already rendered chord loop sample that’s being pitch shifted? but not sure if that’s right.

Pattern command: "Jump" (6 types, probable)
Thanks for running Renoise.
I have sketched out the jump command to be as simple and highly applicable as possible.
In particular, if combined with the Yx command, it will be possible to control with probability whether or not the line itself is executed, which I believe will enable a variety of new performances with simple expressions.
Please consider this.
Sorry if I am saying something strange.
1. Relative jump from current line to xx lines up- Command example: “JUxx”
- xx=specify jump to xx lines up from current line
If the whole line is 00-31 (0x1F), then When current line is 15 (0x0F):
xx | line number to jump to and comment ---+----------------------------------- 00 | 15(0x0F) Loop the playback of 0x0F, `Y0`=Play 0x0F only once without looping, `YF`=Loop the playback of 0x0F 01 | 14(0x0E) Jump before playback 0F | 00(0x00) Jump before playback 10 | 31(0x1F) Jump before playback- Yx command allows specifying the jump probability
- Command example: “JDxx”
- xx=specify jump to xx lines down from current line
When the whole line is 00-31 (0x1F)
When the current line is 15 (0x0F):
- Yx command allows specifying the jump probability
- Command example: “JHxx”
- xx=Line number to jump to, specified in hexadecimal
When the whole line is 00-31 (0x1F)
If the current line is 15 (0x0F):
- Yx command allows specifying the jump probability
- Command example: “JPxx”
- xx=specify jump to xx pattern previous from current pattern
When the overall pattern is 00-31 (0x1F)
When current pattern is 15 (0x0F):
- Yx command allows specifying the jump probability
- This command can also be used for phrases. In that case, it jumps to xx=relative phrase number instead of the pattern, or to the current phrase number if xx=00
- Consider the option to display the pattern number in hexadecimal
- Consider the option to display phrase numbers in hexadecimal
- Command example: “JNxx”
- xx=specify jump to xx pattern next from current pattern
When the overall pattern is 00-31 (0x1F)
When the current pattern is 15 (0x0F):
- Yx command allows specifying the jump probability
- This command can also be used for phrases. In that case, it jumps to xx=relative phrase number instead of the pattern, or to the current phrase number if xx=00
- Consider the option to display the pattern number in hexadecimal
- Consider the option to display phrase numbers in hexadecimal
- command example: “JXxx”
- xx=pattern number to jump to, specified in hexadecimal
When the overall pattern is 00-31 (0x1F)
When the current pattern is 15 (0x0F):
- Yx command allows specifying the jump probability
- This command can also be used for phrases, in which case it jumps to xx=absolute phrase number instead of the pattern, or to the maximum phrase number if xx=00
- Consider the option to display the pattern number in hexadecimal
- Consider the option to display phrase numbers in hexadecimal

Windows: ODDSound MTS VST shows a black editor screen only
The plugin odd sound mts for micro tuning,hasn’t been working properly since last update,it now shows a blank screen when plugin is loaded.Also a separate issue I’m having is that a lot of old tracks Made in the last version of renoise do not open in the new version,I have to load older version in order to work with them.

A question about perhaps background caching with regards to VSTs
I have a unique issue which I wonder if anyone can provide some insight into. Certain VSTs I use in Renoise are doing something such as cycling a sequence of modulation at a certain rate. It seems like when I reload the Renoise track, the cycle does not reset to the same start point, and it kind of ‘endures’ over reloading the track or restarting Renoise, however will reset (I think) upon restart of PC.
Does anyone know if there is some kind of ‘flush cache’ function in Renoise or have any suggestions towards my described issue above. Thank you in advance for any replies.

Linux: Crystal VST by Green Oak stalling when using the Preset select box
Hi,
I’m not sure it’s easy to reproduce but I’ve never seen this behaviour in any VST host for the same plugin.
So I’m using Green Oak Crystal VST for Windows (freeware), on Linux (Manjaro) using Yabridge and Wine Staging (versions are irrelevant, the problem has been happening through many versions).
When loading Crystal in any Renoise project, it works perfectly. However, everytime I click the Renoise UI to select plugin programs, what happens is:
- Crystal UI quickly shows various values in its preset name box (parameters values)
- Would not be an issue if it did not take around 30 seconds to do this (every parameter for every preset)
- While it does this, Renoise is unresponsive. Also happens even if I hide Crystal’s UI.
- It happens everytime I click the Programs button in Renoise to show the presets.
- When it’s done, the list of programs appears as intended.
However, everything works normally if, instead of showing the Program selection popup, I click on the “Next program” and “Previous program” icons on the box.
Note that it’s probably not related to Yabridge since everything is normal in another Linux host like Carla.
Crystal can be found at this URL: Crystal VST Instrument

Another clicky-granulator - 'Gran-U-Warble' - Doofer
Worked out another way to do a similar sort of action as the other granulators I’ve been working on. This one is done using the delay module and two PDC modules, controlled via LFOs. Only have used them on microsound clicks, so you’ll want to figure out a way to add your own envelopes, etc. Added a slight pitch warble to the unit as well, just for fun - not a pitch shifter, just a mild vibrato.

I am so into supercollider
Lately I havent had any sun on my skin ,since I am so deep into supercollider
For me its one of the hardest programs to learn , since I don’t have a coding background and well let’s just say forget everything you thought was logical
The dsp part is easy , but the SC language pheww …
I started two years ago but gave up after a few months , now back into it and I am making some progress
Synthdefs , pdefs etc…
Made some really great instruments , microtoninc clones ,FM,Phm stuff where each declared argument can be sequenced from a Pbind , whcih is really fun since you can nest pseqs inside pseq , having all kinds of polyrhtym and polymeter going on .
Here is some simple stuff I made , these are just loops , all synthesized and sequenced in supercollider
Link goes to gearslutz since we can’t upload soundfiles

Renoise doesn't receive OSC messages
I want to send OSC from reaktor ,supercollider to renoise and vice versa .
But even the most simple step as sending oscm essages from reaktor to renoise doesn’t work .
First launching renoies ( to make sure it’s audio driver has priority ) , then starting reaktor .
In reaktor I set the ip adress to host ( which automatically inserts the correct ip ) ,choosing same port as renoise (8001)
Then creating a midi note module to OSC out ( in reaktor ) ,then setting a renoise instrument midi in to eceive from OSC
No luck whatsoever

Jump to specific pattern
Hi guys. Sorry if this one is easy, I just can’t seem to find it…
How can I jump to a specific pattern? Ideally, I would like to map buttons on my controller keyboard to jump to a specific pattern number. Then I can kinda “jam” around with structure ideas.
I’m sure it’s easy just can’t figure it out.
Cheers

Looking For Mastering?
Hey everyone, been using Renoise for a few weeks and been loving this community and how helpful you all are. In an attempt to return the favor Id like to offer my mastering services to you. Ive got a pretty modest home studio and would love to up my credits so Im willing to do some free mastering to get your tracks a little more polished in return for those sweet credits. Hit me up and lets get to work!

Recording notes while playing mono instrument, glide not recorded unless sample fx visible
As the title says, when in record mode and playing a sample instrument with the keyboard, glide isn’t inserted into the live recording unless the sample fx column is visible. Is this intended and just something one must keep in mind if they want their performance to match what was recorded?

Sample record not giving option for input device (OSX)
So I’m trying to record my analog Rtym in renoise. I have my audio interface set as my in and out device in audio preferences. The clock and transport from renoise are being sent to the rytm so when I start a pattern in renoise it plays on the rtym. When I go the record button on the sample tab it doesn’t show an option on where I would like to receive the incoming audio, and although can be heard through the direct monitoring, nothing shows on the levels of the VU meter.
From looking on the manual and from what others have said there should be an input window on the record function. I’m on OSX

Spor latest release
I’ve been listening to the latest release from Spor and man, that things is nuts!
https://www.youtube.com/embed/uTivig60jDk
EDIT: I would just like to add something I noticed. I’ve been using YouTube Music to stream all of my music and the songs on there are considerably louder and more powerful. I just streamed this song (Let Me Be) back to back on regular YouTube and YouTube Music. There is a noticeable difference between the two and actually doesn’t sound that far off from my own mixes when just listening on regular YouTube. So maybe something to consider…

Old-School Tracker Hardware from CDM
"Picked up this machine at a local garage sale. The owner said he picked up in the 90s and it was not working. Poking around and fixing the power board, it fired up and it turned out to be a tracker sampler. Looks very similar to a modern tracker?"

Undo Pasting Over Whole Sample Permanently Deletes Waveform
https://www.youtube.com/embed/oSEQh4G8r9Q
First load a song that contains samples, then copy some sample data into the clipboard. Pasting over part of a sample then undoing that works as normal. Pasting over the whole sample then undoing permanently deletes the whole waveform. Doing this to samples created or loaded in after the initial song load works fine.
Interestingly, this bug only applies to versions 2.8 and later. Previous versions will undo the pasting and restore the original waveform as normal.

Where is the preferences folder on Mac?
Steam Deck support and integration
Would be really really cool if Renoise was specifically adapted to the Steam Deck for on the go tracker-based beat-making
-
UI mode adapted for small touch screens (could also be helpful for those on other handhelds (Raspberry based or GPD laptops)
-
Steam Deck’s controls fully mapped to Renoise navigation, commands, composing, playing etc (could also be made compatible with Xbox/PS4/Switch game controllers)
-
Performance optimisation if required for the Steam Deck’s OS and APU
-
Make sure the installation is smooth and icon can be easily added on the Steam interface once installation is done.
I think such integration would bring Renoise a whole new experience and probably new public as well.
I personally haven’t invested on a Renoise licence yet but I’m receiving my Steam Deck in the coming days and I’ll probably test the demo of Renoise on it to see if it’s usable. From my short experience on the Demo on Mac, I believe it will probably need some stripped down UI to be usable on the Steam Deck’s screen.
I wonder if the physical controls send key stroke messages to the system that we could already map to Renoise, I will test and tell you if it is the case.
What do you think ? Would you use your Steam Deck as a tracker-based groovebox on the go or at home ?
