Renoise Forum

So yeah, y’all know me. I’m all about granular, on and on.

I’ve always got to re-explain myself and my intentions. No I don’t use VST/AU, no I don’t want hazy drone granular for guitars and synth pads, no I don’t want to work with LPB, no I don’t want to time-stretch, I don’t want the ‘new’ sound. I want old, basic granular. Some of you weren’t around yet when it came out, some of you never listened to anything from Mille Plateaux, 12K, LINEimprint, etc. You’ll hear it all over older Japanese experimental electronic music from 98 to 2006 and beyond. It’s a handy effect and does wonders for more clicks 'n cuts, glitch-type stuff.

I’ve always had a penchant for the old version of granular, stuff you’d hear from Nobuyasu Sakonda’s patches in Max/MSP - way back from 2005 and granular even before that. Renoise doesn’t have that natively, and there’s always some sort of thing the Tools we have don’t do. In this Doofer, I use a delay as a sample buffer, and it’s apparent that it’s a delay. Yet, paired with the deprecated Stutter device, you’ll get a close approximation to a monophonic Red Panda Particle 2 pedal. Not bad, not what I’d ideally like, but really pretty. Can’t adjust grain length or sample position, because it’s up to the sampler to do that, can’t do pitch-shifting, can’t do anything but make small grains and bounce 'em around the panoramic field.

Tricks for use - add more notes at an octave up for pretty tinkling. Use a convolution reverb and turn it on/off for more abstract spaciousness (and let Stutter ‘grab’ it). I made my own IR from my Chase Bliss MOOD 2 pedal’s reverb, for example.

Anyway, see attached Doofer.

something odd showed up, is this safe or do i have a jerk of a problem targeting me?

thus if this is of the jerk kind of situation, does it mean complete and total nuke from orbit, and have to sell the computer and anything and everything ive attached to it or ever had in it’s actual proximity, and on the same nertwork?

how do i figure out how long it takes for a tool to load all it’s parts? does having 35 separate .lua files loaded from main.lua mean it’s heavier, than when having all the functions + menu entries + midi mappings + shortcuts in one .lua file?
any ideas about optimization would be appreciated.

side question: let’s say i have this many lua scripts being loaded on main.lua.

would this result in slowdowns, because it feels like it takes about 3-5 seconds for the tool to reload. if i combined these into one main.lua, would they take less space?

So i started bending and modding this DD-7 i got after i saw the yamaha dd-7 drum samples post on the forums.

this is the update post announcing my plans for it.

UPDATE :

i have added the 38 way patchbay and done a reclock with an adjustable slow setting and fast setting. i have added the GND or 5V switch and two more 50k pots that are yet to be allocated, 2 more empty holes that are yet to be filled.

all that’s left is to experiment a bit with the pots and then solder it all up.

i will post pics upon completion as well as some sounds, it will just be an audio file but you will be free to use it as you please, chop it up and do whatever with it!

this should be completed by today or maybe the next so bookmark it and keep your eyes peeled for some mentalized sounds!!!

The 3.4.4 Release seems not rock stable in my opinion. I have same Problem with some VST plugins.

The following error i get with 3.4.4 for epicClouds Reverb plugin and for SurgeXT Synth every now and then.
And i have often crashes during project loading. These are crashes to desktop without a error message. No idea why this happens. I have found out, that the Modulation Wheel Value on ODIN2 VST Synth is not setup correctly after project loading has completed. It is always 0 then regardless which value was setted up at project saving time before.

happy tracking

Hi there Great Day to you,

I would like to get this Great Software to work without the arrow keys changing the Phrase…

Right now, i emptied all key commands… ( so completely empty key commands file ) and it is stll changing phrases ( as for some reason, the focus keeps jumping to the phrases )

And i want to maintain the flow in making beats… without having to switch back and forth views and i want the phrase i am editing stay on, under all conditions ( ( especially when all keycommands are removed that i do not want ) )

Empty commands file - for anyone to test ( → arrow keys, while focus ( either intended or accidentally ) on Phrase( s map ) )

Hi,

Anyone experience getting the Drumnet plugin from Session Loops working in Renoise (3.4.4/3.4.3)?

I recently got the plugin, but for some reason it just doesn’t play nice with Renoise. As soon as I try to load it, Renoise instantly hangs completely. I’ve tried it on both my PC and laptop with same results. I know it can work, because it has loaded correctly just one lucky time.

I’ve tried all kinds of settings, like plugin sandbox, single CPU, directsound, ASIO, hardware buffers, nothing has any effect. The plugin works fine in Reaper, FL Studio, as standalone, but it also works fine in Renoise 3.3.x! Which is interesting…

I’m running Windows 10, AMD processor (5800x PC, 3500U Laptop). Not sure if that matters. 32GB mem on both, so that’s not the issue (the plugin loads a ~1GB model). The only other plugin I know that has any comparable freezing issues is ANA2.5, but usually only after a while of browsing presets.

Any tips very much appreciated, although it seems to be a bug.

Kind Regards,
Robn

I doubt that this is a Renoise bug, but I leave it here. In case it’s not I’ll post it on the KVR forum:

I had a HIVE plugin that did not react when changing the cutoff as can be seen here:

When initializing the plugin it does not help. I hope I can reproduce it.

IIRC there was no automation used.

Hi everyone,

I have been using Renoise for a few months now without any issues, but recently, whenever I try to open it, the screen goes all black screen, and the software freezes completely during startup. I have tried reinstalling Renoise, updating my GPU drivers, and even running it as an administrator, but nothing seems to work.

Iam on insert OS, Windows 11 with an NVIDIA GTX 1650. This started happening after a recent system update, but I’m not sure if it’s related.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any tips or fixes would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

I suppose that __tostring/:to_string() is not implemented in renoise.Document.ObservableStringList? This will not print:

We can of course concatenate manually, but I thought I’d ask in case it was an oversight! Or maybe it’s delibrate, if the class is used at places in renoise.Song and it wouldn’t be “prudent” to expose it there.

PS. Love the Document API

I want to make a mapping for my Midilab3 so I can have knob1-4 always be assigned to instrument 1 and knob 5 to 8 always to instrument 2, whatever I am doing in renoise.

Tried to find this, maybe I am not using the right keywords to find the way.

wasting my holidays figuring this one out… I want to jam with my new toy!

One of the most difficult things when programming code is getting detailed analysis results about code performance.

LuaProfiler is compatible with Lua 5.1 and could theoretically be embedded within the Renoise API.

@taktik, the tool developers could we have LuaProfiler integrated in some way with the Renoise API? If you want to improve the Terminal, a tool of this caliber would be ideal.

LuaProfiler is a time profiler designed to help finding bottlenecks on your Lua program.

Hello,
So I decided to give you all a little something under the tree: HardSyncOSC, which is another sample generator for Renoise where I try out different sample creation techniques.
More in the description on my Gumroad page.

V05 is out
Optional extension: Possibility to enter the sound length directly in the samples.
Fixed a bug where the HighPass filter only worked with 44.1k samplerate.
And another regarding the gui refresh.

Thanks for your support.
Martin

I think the version 3.4 is enough to work with, but as you know many other daws seems to add new things all the time, a mix of useful and stupid things just to keep earning money with their software. I want to know what you would like to implement as a MAIN change for 4.0?

I use renoise since old days but never to use it as a sampler daw, i use it for ambient music with vst… but seems renoise is more dedicated to very fast music genere with samples. So I would like to see some cool addons to add people who are not from this music genere only. For example add a complete native pianoroll for chord cases o some other things like scales. Windowed, like simple piano roll but more easy to use, like copy, drag&drop, etc. Also faster vst automation, or a better way to re-arrange your songs. Also containers like bitwig has, and a larger fx vst window in the left bottom (I have to use glasses to see there!)

Just my ideas, what’s yours?

Hi everyone,

Whenever I launch Renoise on my Dell XPS 15 running Windows 10, the software immediately shows a bright white light screen and becomes unresponsive. Windows prompts me to either “Wait” or “Close the program.”

If I choose to wait, Renoise sometimes loads after a long delay, but this issue happens consistently every time I open it. It seems like Renoise is hanging during the startup process.

Has anyone else faced this bright screen issue? Any tips to resolve it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

When I load a VST and try to use my QWERTY keyboard to play the VST (to come up with musical ideas), the timing is extremely bad. There is a lot of latency, and the timing between the notes is inconsistent, so it isn’t just a matter of all the notes being late. The timing between the notes is not accurate to the input timing.

I have never had this problem with other VSTs, so I’m not sure what the problem is.

Does anyone have any tips?

Computer: MacOS M1, Ventura 13.2 (22D49)
Renoise version: V3.4.3

Hi! I have a new album released today and would like make a post because I created this album using the Renoise software. My music is very melodic instrumental electronic music, mostly influenced by spacesynth and demoscene music.
