Renoise Forum

Maybe this is already existing functionality, but I ask anyway.

Is it possible to have renoise published as a midi-out device? So that other applications can discover renoise as if it was for example the Microsoft GS Wave…

The next step is ofcourse the possibility inside renoise to use this as an input, in the same was as an external keyboard.

It would make my life easier, the alternative is going down the virtual-midi-ports-darkness.

Has anyone upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 while keeping Windows 11 files (documents, programs …)?

How about your experience with Renoise? Does it work the same? Works better? Does it work worse?

I understand that Renoise has “special treatment” with “the windows” of the Windows 10. Maybe in Windows 11 it works better?

I’m talking about loading dropdown menus, loading VST-VSTi plugins, loading LUA tools and these things …

Can you tell your experience here?

I am on Windows 10, installed on a very fast M.2 drive (where Renoise is installed as well).

I just noticed a strange behavior from Renoise apparently related to the writing of the Log.txt file, located in the folder:

C:\Users\MY_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Renoise\V3.3.2\Log.txt

Log.txt is a file that grows in size each time Renoise is used (both when starting and closing).

1. If the Log.txt file is only a few kilobytes, Renoise appears to start up faster and log out faster as well.

2. If the Log.txt file is large in kilobytes, about 400 KB or more, Renoise appears to start significantly slower and also to close significantly slower, 2 or 3 seconds slower. Not only that, but it seems to affect the loading of certain tools as well. If the initial load of a window tool typically takes 0.5 seconds, it could now take 3 seconds or more.

Has anyone been able to experience a similar situation with this case?

Shouldn’t this file be regenerated every time it gets too big?

Or maybe save multiple files log_1.txt, log_2.txt … so that these are not too large and that they do not affect the performance of Renoise?

I’m not entirely sure what’s going on here anyway. However, after trying many more things with no success, when I closed Renoise and deleted the Log.txt file (knowing that Renoise regenerates it), the next Renoise run was back to normal, and the tools already load quickly.

Aliasing is a very useful tool for sound design.

I’d love to be able to adjust the sample rate of a sample to any value like you could do on many hardware samplers and not just 44.1k, 32k, 22.05k …
Sometimes 28643Hz is just right to get rid of nasty top end and replace it with some tasty aliasing

Sample rate reduction vsts are not really a substitute, as they cannot account for the change in sound when samples are pitched.

Choosing the anti-aliasing filter characteristics before conversion would be the cherry on top, but not that important.

Heyo!

I am intending to publish a number of Renoise-based production and sound design tutorials on YouTube over the coming weeks, months, and maybe… years?

Hoping to launch with a first video in the coming days, and will post new videos in this thread, and answer any questions, if I can.

Feel free to let me know if you have any ideas or requests for tutorials! I’ll probably be doing a bunch on sample-based sound design using native dsp, as well as focusing on a handful of VSTs as well.

peace,

I was recently re-watching the Mitch Murder “renoise fun” videos on Youtube (where you simply see a song playing and watch the tracker scroll), and noticed something very interesting: the Velocity column is empty (not used) practically 95% of the time, even for parts that are clearly musical instruments like leads, chords, melodies, etc…

Isn’t that odd? His music, to my ears, is incredibly dynamic sounding, and highly musical, so I would have assumed there’d be a fair amount of velocity-based expression in his musical passages – but apparently, nope, unless I’m missing something? And when there is a value input in the Velocity column, it’s usually for (what appear to be) the drum sections, not the ‘musical’ passages. Interesting!

It’s also interesting because when recording a MIDI controller in Renoise, the default setting will record Velocity values, regardless of whether the instrument being triggered can read them or not. So either Mitch turned that default off in Settings, or manually types in every note of every melody and chord from the computer keyboard (no velocity value is input when doing so), which is a crazy notion considering how complex his music can be…

Anyway, definitely got me thinking about his process (I’m a huge fan). Any thoughts on this, or something I’m missing?

Here’s the second video in the series, but this observation applies equally to all three of them:

Hi, in previous renoise versions the ringmod was a Hz input from 0 to 22khz, in newer versions it is note-snapped only, can revert the plugin input to Hz by loading an old track and copy/pasting the plugin, but is there a way to switch this input setting back to Hz please?

Hi

This is my first post.

Im using Windows 10, Renoise 3.3.2.(x64) with MIDI to and from the AKAIS3000XL via a USB MIDI cable.

How do I automate the filter on the AKAIS3000XL inside Renoise please ?

I have seen DaddyAbe post a video about it on youtube, but he is using StudioOne with the command being breath control inside that, theres no such options for me in Renoise.

Thanks.

Hi everyone. I am not sure that i must create topic in this category, but i want to contribute to the community of Renoise with some Korg Volca Bass samples (saw and square wave, and mix of them), maybe sample Roland JP-08. Also i can make instruments with this samples (Pads, Basses, Leads, Plucks, etc) and give to anyone who interested in them.

If no one is interested and this is not what Renoise about, just tell me
I am almost new to trackers and dont know all the philosophy here

Halo world, I’ve been using RENOISE since 2010. Now when I save to a quick save why is it now taking 10 seconds (I see the spinning wheel on my Mac) then I’d be able to play RENOISE again.

anyone can help me? can I do something in my settings? It wasn’t like this last year. Well, it only took 3 seconds to have that spinning wheel then it would work again … Now it’s 10 sec.

Guys, can anyone help?
In Modulation tab, when i map my midi keyboard pitch wheel to Pitch slider and after that assign LFO to pitch, the pitch wheel stops working. it still change the numbers at pitch slider, but no result. So do i have to decide: use LFO or use pitch wheel? Or how to fix this? I can attach instrument or song file if needed

Renoise Version: 3.2.x

like, is this genre possible on this tracker? I got the bpm set to 175’ish. I know, renoise could be specifically good for drum’n’bass in general, but what about jump-up, what do I need to do? preferably the pre 2017 era before it got silly.

I’ve applied it to many different sounds (drums, breaks, basslines, pads) and it doesn’t have any effect on them? I started just randomly moving the control around it does nothing

Just discovered a bug in redux (v.1.2.2), which crashes the host immediately.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open redux instance.
2. Load sample.
3. Play instrument while previewing sample from redux browser and then delete redux instance.

Can anyone confirm this?

Tried in Reaper 6.43 and Ableton Live 11 on macOS 10.14.6
Will record a video if needed.

Just wondering how people come to a conclusion whether to apply a track effect or a sample effect.

I know applying track effects allows you to use automation, but on the other hand I have seen people use sample effects and then route them to the track with macros.

I’m not sure whether this comes down to personal preference or if there are certain advantages to the two which I am missing.

This also leads me to my next question which is about tracks in general.

Do you use multiple samples on the same track?

For example If I am working with multiple drum breaks and use them at different points in a track, why would one use a separate track for each break? I have seen people do both of these options and I’m just curious about the thought process for behind them.

Again, does this come down to personal preference or am I missing something?

I get overwhelmed when there are lots of tracks. I like to keep everything neat and tidy and reuse tracks given the chance.

I need the 3 symbols used in Renoise to use with the text font in unicode format.
At the moment I have two symbols that look good:

1. CTRL: ⌘
2. ALT: ⌥
3. SHIFT: ???

But I am missing the equivalent of SHIFT, which is the up arrow.

Could someone please provide me with the up arrow, the exact same symbol that is used internally in Renoise?

Here’s a screenshot of the exact shape of the up arrow. The idea is to be able to use these symbols as text for buttons.

I found this symbol, but it looks really bad, too elongated vertically: ⇧
The arrow should be much wider and shorter in heigh
