Just as the title says. Also does the same thing after choosing a preset then selecting ‘Init’ again.

In the Modulation section, insert an Envelope or Stepper device and hit the ‘Ext. Editor’ button. Now open the Macros panel. The External Editor will not shrink to make room. Likewise, opening the Macros panel before pressing the ‘Ext. Editor’ button and then closing Macros again will not expand the External Editor into the space available.

I see that Redux has a pitch bend slider, which can be automated using MIDI pitch bend commands, but it doesn’t actually affect the note’s pitch.

A small compatibility issue.

In the Renoise Matrix panel, using “CTRL + ALT + mouse wheel rotation” allows you to zoom horizontally of the Matrix.

If you use Windows 11 Magnifier, it seems that this control is stolen by Windows 11 Magnifier, so it doesn’t work, even if Renoise is in the foreground…

Maybe I’m getting lazy on my old days but hey…

We have all made the perfect track for some instrument and want to reuse it later, the device chain is obviously tailored to the instrument so wouldn’t it be nice to have the ability to save a track with its devices and instruments used in the track and maybe just the currently selected pattern notes.

Maybe even save a whole group of tracks as a preset would be cool and then a nice way of organizing these presets… maybe we could make this as a tool but then it should be possible to save to disk?

Description:
Scrolling isn’t smooth in Renoise 3.4.4 but stutters and jags
Window 10, Nvidia RTX 2070 Super with latest drivers
32gb ram and 8 cores, Babyface Pro etc
Enough hardware for smooth scrolling

Steps to reproduce look like this:

1. Launch Renoise 3.4.4
2. Open any the song
3. Click in the Pattern Matrix
4. Press ctrl down
5. Wait for acceleration

Expected results:
Smooth scrolling, straight down like it does in Renoise 3.3.1 for example.

Actual results:
It goes 2 lines up, one line down, 3 lines up, 2 lines down.
Jumps all over the place

Sorry if this has been posted before - but I was wondering if after I slice a sample, and lets say each slice I have linked to a different FX chain , so each sample has its own effects. Can I reneder each slice to then not require the effect chain , but the slices are still maintained so i can further manipulate each slice?

I thought the render slices destructively would do this but it seems to keep the FX chains intact, infact I do not know what the point of rendering slices destructively is if all it does is just maintain the original sample ?

Scaled-down display with scaling

I often work with many Renoise applications running simultaneously.
To display the disk browser, etc. on each of the many Renoise windows, Wayland (sway) on Linux can use a scaled-down view, but Renoise windows using the Xwayland process have a blurry display, making them less usable.

I am thinking that this might be solved by enabling a scaled-down view in the scaling settings of Renoise.
The increments of the setting value should be 90%-10% in 10% increments, etc. Ideally, the API should be used to specify the value.

hi, i wanna load 120 snares.
i have a script that lets me use a midiknob for setting volume to 0.0dB for selected sample and -INF dB for the rest of them.

but when i load 120 snares, and click “Layer”, only the last 12 of them actually play, the rest don’t.

is there a limitation for “how many samples can play in layered mode”?

Hi,

macos notoriously writes lot of data to your ssd. Most extreme system services here are 1. logd and 2. spotlight / mds

For example, leaving macos 14.5 like 1 day in use, the logd process often already wrote several tenth of gigabytes.

A usual ssd will last like 250-1000TBW (terabytes written). The crucial part for an ssd lifespan is the amount of written data. You can get these infos about your ssd using a SMART tool, e.g. smartmontools.

While Windows might be even worse in constantly writing data, macos isn’t good at all either. In my opinion, they could easily reduce the amount of data write by a lot, simply adding configuration possibilities and having a better default config.

On my mbp pro 16 m1pro, which I use since middle 2021, the total data written is 18TB. But I also don’t use a lot of spotlight, or installing system updates, which would increase the number. On the other system, my hackintosh running 10.14.6, I already have a reduced logging and disabled a lot of spotlight, there the total written data is like 4TB, this after over 5 years.

For 1.), the logd, you can drastically reduce the data written by yourself. For this, you need to edit the /etc/asl.conf file in a text editor. This is the configuration for the log daemons. Make sure to backup the original file first.

Here is my current config:

## # configuration file for syslogd and aslmanager ## # aslmanager logs > /var/log/asl/Logs/aslmanager external style=lcl-b ttl=2 # authpriv messages are root/admin readable ? [= Facility authpriv] access 0 80 # remoteauth critical, alert, and emergency messages are root/admin readable ? [= Facility remoteauth] [<= Level critical] access 0 80 # broadcast emergency messages ? [= Level emergency] broadcast # save kernel [PID 0] and launchd [PID 1] messages #? [<= PID 1] store # ignore "internal" facility ? [= Facility internal] ignore # save everything from emergency to notice #? [<= Level notice] store ? [<= Level error] store ? [= Level activity] ignore ? [= Level default] ignore # Rules for /var/log/system.log > system.log mode=0640 format=bsd rotate=seq compress file_max=5M all_max=50M #? [= Sender kernel] file system.log #? [<= Level notice] file system.log #? [= Facility auth] [<= Level info] file system.log #? [= Facility authpriv] [<= Level info] file system.log ? [= Sender kernel] [<= Level error] file system.log ? [<= Level error] file system.log ? [= Facility auth] [<= Level info] file system.log ? [= Facility authpriv] [<= Level info] file system.log # Facility com.apple.alf.logging gets saved in appfirewall.log #? [= Facility com.apple.alf.logging] file appfirewall.log file_max=5M all_max=50M ? [= Facility com.apple.alf.logging] ignore # restart: sudo killall -HUP syslogd

The changes seem to prevent writing of any event happening. Instead, only essential logs like errors and logins will be written from now on. Keep in mind that all other stuff still seems to be logged, but not written anymore, instead kept in a memory buffer or similar.

You can look at the log entries by entering “sudo log show --last 1m” in terminal. The amount of log entries is immense. No wonder that it quickly can fill your ssd with repeating writes.

For 2), spotlight, the story is quite more difficult now.
macos prior to Big Sur allowed to modify the system partition easily. That’s why you could disable a lot of Spotlight plugins which are located in /System/Library/Spotlight, simply by moving out most of those plugins to a backup dir. For example, I don’t need archive or pdf neither coremedia scanning. By moving out these plugins, the amount of written data by spotlight while indexing is reduced heavily. Note that disabling PDFs in the spotlight options does not seem to reduce anything. I assume that still everything will be scanned then, but filtered out, so Apple still gets your full contents.

The ideal approach would be:

• Disabling not required spotlight pliugins/mdimporters
• Only leaving spotlight for third party, Mail and simple application search
• Using a much better search tool additionally like Quicksilver

I also looked for a way to disable mdimporters using launchctl or similar, but seems to be impossible… Maybe I should make a apfs snapshot of the system partition, then make it temporarily writable, remove those files, and enable write lock again? But this will be removed as soon there is a system update. I also do not know how macos likes custom snapshots of the system partition…

Any idea here?

P.S. Sadly you can’t simply disable Spotlight services completely, because even some system apps rely on it, e.g. search in Mail.app or search in System Preferences.app.

I don’t understand why the instrument pages are counted in 9 instruments but the numbering is in hex. Is there some logic to it? This makes it a bit confusing to navigate with shortcuts especially when the browser is hidden as the first alphanumeric character of the instrument number doesn’t represent an instrument page.

I know it’s conceptual but these concepts contradict.

edited to correct that an instrument page is 9 instruments

I’m currently trying to troubleshoot an issue I’m having with my Allen & Heath Zedi 10fx mixer/soundcard in Renoise 3.4.4 when having chrome open with youtube next to it. The audio can grind to a halt eventually and increasing the buffer settings in the preferences or changing drivers wont fix the problem.
The audio glitches and stutters seem to increase when going through the tabs in the top left of the screen in Renoise when playing back a songfile while having a video playing on mute (just to trigger the glitches, quickly going left and right clicking the tabs).

In the beginning of having bought the soundcard there were hardly any issues, though I’ve had occasional ‘syncing’ problems before with my previous soundcard (focusrite 6i6) where the audio sounded like someone put a bitcrusher on the master when opening chrome while playing back a song. But the instances where this happened were often short lived after refreshing the browser or reopening renoise, re-initializing the soundcard.

I’ve made sure in the properties of the soundcard in windows, programs can’t claim exclusivity to the drivers and have made sure the samplerate & bitrate are the same for all out & inputs. Also I’ve set chrome not to use graphics acceleration for A/B’ing the issue. And the computer is set to be optimized for background processes. No power saving and made sure the usb ports can’t turn off the power.
I’ve tried re-installing the drivers for the soundcard and this hasn’t fixed it either, I did notice in the windows 10 device manager settings that the soundcard device isn’t migrated, which can happen after a windows update. From the events tab;

Device USB\VID_22F0&PID_0016\5&2a52a61d&0&5 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.

I’ve contacted Allen & Heath about the above and this is their reaction;

Hello Richard, Unfortunately this is an issue with Renoise. It is always best to optimise a computer for audio when using any DAW and this includes shutting down all background apps, power saving and internet access. This is standard and is outlined here https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207355205-Optimising-Windows-for-Audio It is actually possible to use some other apps and even internet access with many DAWs and often, people are never aware of the potential problem. Please go through the optimisation instructions. Best regards, Chris Panks. Allen & Heath Product Support UK

They haven’t commented on the device drivers not being migrated(yet?) and blame Renoise.

For now I’ll put Renoise in fullscreen mode to get the best results, without any other application running in the background but even then there is an occasional audio hick up. This wasn’t the case when I first installed the new mixer/soundcard.

I hope someone has a tip or any idea what could have caused this and how to get a more stable audio stream!
