Renoise Forum

I have a speed problem with an older song. It is set to 98 BPM and 4 SPD. Nevertheless, it plays faster than if I create a new song and set the same speed parameters. What is the reason for this?

I deleted all instruments and patterns from the Renoise file as a test and the speed problem still persists. I am attaching the file with the deleted data. Maybe you can help me!

Hi,

I would like to know which compresor plugin is your favorite? The rules of this thread are: Do not suggest a Renoise compressor. Other than that, you are free to fire up any kind of suggestion. Please also add an explanation, why… Thanks.

Please consider stuff like:

• Has it knee?
• Has it range?
• Has it upwards compression or mix?
• Has it latency?
• Do you use it regularly as WOC?
• Is the GUI nice to use?

When I’m in win explorer , there are no dedicated icons for renoise instruments, they only show up when right clicking them

I saw this tool being praised in a YouTube video, but could not find it in the tools archive.
Is this tool still available?

I have the Microtonic drum synth on one track and would like to route its 8 audio out channels to different Renoise tracks for further individual processing.
Is that possible? If so, how would I do that.

I think it would be nice to have the ability to at least manually modify the vertical size of the small panels in these sections with the mouse: Theme, Keys, MIDI Mapping… (or other similar panels if they exist)

The compact size is fine for older picture monitors. But nowadays all users have large monitors.

Being able to expand at least the vertical size would ease the search for content.

How could it work?

1. The user can simply use the mouse to modify the height of the frame with a lower (current) and upper limit (at least three times the current, or more).

2. If the user chooses to select another panel or closes the window, the modified frame takes on the minimum vertical size again.

Could this be implemented?

Hey:) I noticed a behaviour which I am not sure is a bug or not.

I like working with these panes closed, but I also frequently jump to other sections with the F keys (F3 for sample editor etc).

When I go back to the pattern matrix via F1, these panes pop back out! Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something I can do?

I noticed that the decision is respected when switching via mouse rather than F1.

Thank you <3

Hi All,

Trying to record BPM automation via midi mapping is not functioning. Recording is armed, but no values are being recorded.

I want a (non-linearly) changing bpm across multiple patterns… slower, faster, staggering around drunk, you know?

Is this something renoise can do without tedious editing?

I’m not sure why this isn’t working.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hello,
I released another tool ReTheme.

It’s a “finished” converter of themes from Ableton to Renoise that I once used.
Personally, I’m not much into “themes”, but hopefully it will be useful to someone.
Tested on themes from LiveThemes.
Themes from the new v12 probably won’t work because I found out that they have a different structure.

If the theme you are setting somehow breaks / popup widgets are sensitive to the mouse wheel / never close Renoise because the next start will run with this theme.
Have a file with the theme that you drop into Renoise somewhere within reach.

Tool is as always on Gumroad.

I guess that’s a feature and not a bug, but how to turn it off?

When playing notes with my midi Keyboard I see a second note in the Renoise keyboard which actually corresponds to the velocity. I have never seen this and how can I turn this off?

I find that I often have two/three tracks for my bass that act as layers (low/med/high), so the three tracks share the same midi data, they’re just processed differently. But I can’t find a way to make these patterns aliases so that changing one will automatically change the others. Going about manually fine-selecting things to change notes/fx/whatever in both works, but it is repetitive. So is it possible to make alias patterns between tracks, rather than just within one track going down the pattern editor?

Hey there,

I can use WASAPI in Reaper with 6ms delay. I can record audio with my microphone. If I use WASAPI in Renoise, the In-Device is not selectable. (Screenshot)

I have found a few tools that /sorta/ do this.

With Paketti I can set a shortcut to do it, and then 1 by 1 go through each instrument and press it. That’s great, and a time saver.

With DefaultSampleSettings tool I can do this for everything, but it also impacts settings besides interpolation.

I only want to impact interpolation.

Any tools exist for this? Or does anyone have any ideas?

The reason I want this: when I load a oldschool song, like from *.it, *.xm, *.s3m, *.mod, etc. I want it to sound CRUNCHY BABY!

By default the interpolation is Cubic,. and I can’t find where to change it. If it’s some setting somewhere, that’d be great! But I don’t think it is.

Any ideas? Thoughts? I have done some searching. I’m not against writing my own tool, but I can’t find the source for the DefaultSampleSettings one to rip out everything but interpolation…

Thanks all

Nowadays it usually takes some time off, but I eventually make a track.
This one’s a self contained tribute to pyrotechnics (if you listen to the end, anyway).
I’ll post it here, since very rarely does anyone outside of listening circles listen. Let me know if it’s for you.
Appreciate all your guys lovely work with the very impressive Renoise tool.

Is there any way to turn off the unwanted event in the widget ?.
I would like to disable the “mouse wheel” event in the popup widget.
thanks

I’m adding features to an instrument sorting tool from Joule and right now I’m trying to collect housekeeping info from the used sample instruments inside of the song comments window;

Here are snippits of the added code;

function append_housekeeping_info_to_song_comments() local comments = renoise.song().comments -- Start with the song title and artist local song_title = renoise.song().name local artist_name = renoise.song().artist local housekeeping_info = string.format("Title: %s\nArtist: %s\n\nSample Housekeeping Info:\n", song_title, artist_name) for i, instrument in ipairs(renoise.song().instruments) do if #instrument.samples > 0 then local instrument_info = string.format("Instrument %d: %s\n", i, instrument.name) -- Append bit depth and sample rate local sample = instrument.samples[1] if sample.sample_buffer.has_sample_data then local bit_depth = sample.sample_buffer.bit_depth local sample_rate = sample.sample_buffer.sample_rate instrument_info = instrument_info .. string.format(" Bit Depth: %d-bit, Sample Rate: %d Hz\n", bit_depth, sample_rate) -- Append total sample duration local total_duration = 0 for _, sample in ipairs(instrument.samples) do if sample.sample_buffer.has_sample_data then total_duration = total_duration + (sample.sample_buffer.number_of_frames / sample.sample_buffer.sample_rate) end end instrument_info = instrument_info .. string.format(" Total Duration: %.2f s\n", total_duration) -- Append stereo/mono info local channels = sample.sample_buffer.number_of_channels local stereo_mono = (channels == 2) and "Stereo" or "Mono" instrument_info = instrument_info .. string.format(" Channels: %s\n", stereo_mono) -- Append sample memory size local total_size = 0 for _, sample in ipairs(instrument.samples) do if sample.sample_buffer.has_sample_data then total_size = total_size + (sample.sample_buffer.number_of_frames * sample.sample_buffer.number_of_channels * (sample.sample_buffer.bit_depth / 8)) end end instrument_info = instrument_info .. string.format(" Memory Size: %.2f KB\n", total_size / 1024) -- Append loop points if looping is enabled if sample.loop_mode ~= renoise.Sample.LOOP_MODE_OFF then local loop_start = sample.loop_start / sample.sample_buffer.sample_rate local loop_end = sample.loop_end / sample.sample_buffer.sample_rate instrument_info = instrument_info .. string.format(" Loop Points: %.2fs - %.2fs\n", loop_start, loop_end) end end -- Append the info to the housekeeping summary housekeeping_info = housekeeping_info .. instrument_info .. "\n" end end -- Update the song comments with the housekeeping info table.insert(comments, housekeeping_info) renoise.song().comments = comments end renoise.tool():add_menu_entry { name = "Instrument Box:Sample Info...:Update Housekeeping Info in Song Comments", invoke = function() append_housekeeping_info_to_song_comments() end }

Using it does add info into the song comments window, but it seems to be capped at a certain amount of characters. At first I thought this was just a limitation of how much can be written down there, but when manually inserting characters I can add much more then what can be inserted from the tool. Also after generating the content for it, I can’t seem to delete, select or edit any of the text.

Is this a renoise bug or expected behavior?

I recently purchased a Polyend Tracker plus and was so excited to have a tracker in a box.

It turned into a nightmare as I have never used a more unfinished buggy device in my entire life. The biggest issue was live recording and the way off commamds are handled. Samples would spread all over the place into multiple tracks, even midi tracks where samples don’t trigger. The off commamd is a nightmare making it impossible to record faster melodies in 16/1 timing.

I suggested they should take a leaf out of Renoise’s book by having an option to disable note off but to no avail. Anyway I am returning it for a refund.

I really wish Renoise would release a hardware tracker. That would be a dream come true, or even design and sell a chassis with buttons and a screen that accomodates a Raspberry Pi as it can run the linux version of Renoise.

Food for thought.

Hello.
I have a very specific question about MIDI for anyone who understands. I have been trying to send program changes to a VST3 instrument, the Korg modwave native, for quite a while. I would especially love to do so from Renoise. The modwave native has a funny way of organizing patches, but to put it shortly, the manual claims that it exposes 64 patches (“performances”) from a preselected performance bank (“set list”) which correspond to program change messages 1-64.
It doesn’t respond to normal program change messages from Ableton, Bitwig, or Renoise. M2 command with proper syntax (I checked), *Instr. MIDI Control program change messages 1-64, all fail, while they work fine on the Wavestation VST. None of these workstations seem to be able to provoke the described behavior, except Cakewalk, in a strange way that I do not get.
Cakewalk was able to expose a CC for “Program” which worked for automating the patch change.
Problem is I don’t understand the notation here in the MIDI menu… When I assign an automation in Synth Rack, I get a big list of named automation targets, then a list of CCs. They are notated like MIDI CC 11|77 - MIDI CC 11|119, MIDI CC 11|120 - MIDI CC 12|32 , and at the end, MIDI CC 15|116 - Program.
“Program” seems to send a patch change. It’s at the end of a dropout list with other CCs notated the same way - it goes from MIDI CC 15|116 to MIDI CC 15|129 and then “Program” at the very, very end. What message is actually being sent? 129 is a number outside of MIDI’s normal range, no? What am I looking at?

Ya’ll probably don’t like this idea but, let’s combine Raggacore/Breakcore with splittercore and noise. I present to you Splitteragg/Splitterbreak, Splitterbreak or Splitteragg. It is an extreme genre of electronics that has a BPM ranging from 350BPM to 100,000BPM. It works by cutting the breaks and making rushes with all the samples and with synthesizers like digital hardcore and ragga vocals with normal speed and a lot of noise glitches and sounds made with a computer. I don’t know if some artist is interested in making a song of my new genre, Since I’ve heard that Renoise is a good DAW for Breakcore and similar genres. Tell me ya’ll opinions.

Back in the day (03?), there was this great little piece of software called “cell synth” I believe. Which would allow you to FM (PM) any piece of audio with any other piece of audio. I’d love to see something similar implemented in renoise, as it could give us native FM/PM, greatly expanding the potential of our native tools’ sonic palette.

The way I am envisioning it would be as a dsp device, which would take the carrier as the incoming audio stream, and the modulator as a signal routed to it via the sidechain device (if that actually routes an audio rate signal), or perhaps via a send device. The Phase Modulator device would then, well, modulate the phase of the carrier by the modulator, and the resulting audio would be passed through.

This would preserve the semi modular nature of renoise’s audio architecture, and could allow for use of phase modulation within instruments via the instrument fx chains, or, perhaps crucially, of entire audio streams via the mixer fx section. This could be a powerful feature that (to my limited awareness, lol) does not readily exist in other daws, and could open up a lot of territory for sonic exploration.

@taktik, would this be possible to implement? Any technical hurdles I’m not seeing? I think this could satisfy a lot of the renoise native synthesis enthusiasts out there, and would add a lot of power to our capabilities in a relatively straightforward fashion.

A quick mockup could look something like this

Thoughts? Feasibility?
