Convolver Phase Dispersion

March 24, 2025 - 18:40

Hey all,

I figured out a cool trick (probably not original to me) to add the character of phase dispersion to any sound by using a convolver IR of a short sine sweep. May save some cpu cycles and/or cash if you don’t want to shell out for disperser or to use one of the other DIY approaches (ie stacked multiband sends or stacked exciters). Check it out if you like

Good for “wet” dubstep basses, etc. To me it sounds best when used without dry signal, but dry mix can be added back in to taste. Sometimes bringing the color slider up a touch will help mitigate any excessive bass. Obviously use your ears Change the resample rate for shorter or longer sweeps.

How do i use Sample FX "Yxx" command to only hit a sample on the 4th play?

March 24, 2025 - 12:27

i’m trying to replicate a very specific feature of certain devices, which will make a sample only play on the 4th replay. how do i make this happen, please? Y50 is all about probability so it won’t necessarily hit on the 4th.
i’d really like to not have to make a long phrase out of this or make a 64 row pattern a 256 row pattern just so the sample would play on the 4th “play”.
what’s the right way, renoisewise?

Setting up keyboard shortcut to enable/disable specific DSP

March 22, 2025 - 19:01

I have a usb footpedal that can configure to any key, is there an easy way to setup a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable a specific effect? Ideally turn one off and turn one on at the same time with the ability to once again turn off one effect and turn the other back on.

It’s to swap between two amp sims clean/distortion or two enable pedal fx.

Issue selecting correct program from my Casio keyboard

March 22, 2025 - 16:14

Hello,

I’m trying to use Renoise to control a CASIO keyboard. I’m having trouble getting access to all the sounds in the keyboard using the MIDI tab with the output controls. For example, if I look at the tone list in the manual for the keyboard, I see these two options:

Tone 342 (WARM PAD) is program 89, MSB bank 1, LSB bank 0
Tone 343 (FAT SAW PAD) is program 89, MSB bank 2, LSB bank 0

In the MIDI output control, if I select the right program (for some reason I have to select 90, not 89), I will get the WARM PAD sound. But no matter how I manipulate the bank setting or the LSB/MSB setting, I can never get the FAT SAW PAD sound. Changing the bank makes no difference. Therefore, the FAT SAW PAD tone is not accessible to me, which is frustrating!

If I send MIDI date from the keyboard to Renoise, the settings in the MIDI output controls will change in real time when I turn the knob. But when I switch between these two tones, the program just stays at 90 and nothing in the bank setting changes.

Can anyone offer any guidance? How can I make Renoise send the bank change so I can access all my sounds?

Thanks!

Amiga tuning file

March 22, 2025 - 09:43

Does somebody has a Amiga tracker tuning file? I think this was in Soundtracker and Protracker, pitches were rounded to integer values or something…? Ah maybe that doesn’t work with a tuning file?

Drag And Drop Samples from Instrument List to Convolver DSP

March 18, 2025 - 12:24

Hello again!

It would be helpful to add the ability to send samples from the browser (instrument box) to the convolver, making it easier and faster to work with impulse responses. Additionally, it would be great to have the option to transfer samples created or loaded in VST instruments directly to the browser (instrument box) for better organization and workflow efficiency.

Thank you!

Windows: Strange ROLAND ZENOLOGY VST issue I've had for the longest time now

March 17, 2025 - 19:14

Whenever I open the Zenology VST window and move my mouse cursor onto it while the song is playing, Renoise starts to lag like crazy, and when I move my mouse cursor away from the Zenology window and back to Renoise, the lag completely stops.

I almost didn’t make this post because it feels like such a super obscure issue, but I’d appreciate any help or suggestions.

Here’s a short video of what it looks like: FbShare - View uploads

This doesn’t happen with NI Kontakt, UVI Workstation, Arturia Analog Lab or any other VST “portal”. It’s just Zenology.

I’m running the latest version of Renoise and Zenology on up to date Windows 11. 4090 / i9 / 64gb.

Can current Song.xml be accessed without saving & unzipping?

March 16, 2025 - 19:14

I have a track open in Renoise. It’s got bunches of samples.
Is the Song.xml “available somewhere”, or is it only available after saving, which, then, requires you to unzip the .xrns for Song.xml and then do something with it?

Tool Idea: export track names and instruments/effects to text

March 16, 2025 - 13:34

Hi
I wonder if this is possible to program…a text file which lists all track names, with instrument names used on the track and effects/devices used for each track.

eg.

Track 1: Bongo Rhythmn

Instruments: C6 SAMP Bongo.wav, F9 INST Serum

Effects: NATIVE Filter, PLUGIN D16 Frontier

Track 2: Bass Line

etc

I don’t need any parameter information. This would really help rebuild old tracks with missing plugins and effects.

Is it possible?

Thanks
Chris [midierror]

MIDI Mappings not loaded with Effect Chain

March 14, 2025 - 04:32

Hi,

In Renoise Sampler, MIDI Mappings are not restored when loading an Effect Chain preset.

Steps to reproduce bug:

  1. Start with a new song and create a Sampler Effect Chain
  2. Add any Effect (I tried Native, VST and VST3)
  3. Open the MIDI Mapping dialog
  4. Map a few parameters to MIDI controls (I tried encoders with 0-127 output)
  5. Save Preset As… using the drop-down menu
  6. Load your new preset using the drop-down menu
  7. MIDI Mappings are gone

However, repeating basically the same steps with a Modulation Set (instead of an Effect Chain) works as expected: MIDI Mappings are loaded with the preset.

Tested in Renoise 3.4.4 Linux x86_64

Add midi mapping for deleting at cursor position and insterting note-offs

March 13, 2025 - 22:37

Is there any way to create a midi mapping for the functions of the delete key and the caps lock key? I’ve spent some time looking through the api documentation but it is very possible I just missed it.

Linux+JACK: renoise sometimes crashes when outputting MIDI to ardour+drumgizmo

March 13, 2025 - 12:38

Linux Mint 22.1 using JACK, renoise 3.4.4 crashed twice today while i was working on a hard rock/metal track with a simple synth (1 sample through a few effects) and a midi instrument sending midi to ardour with drumgizmo loaded. Also a bunch of other drum samples were loaded but not used. Just suddenly without reason, the audio becmoes a loud buzzing sound for a few seconds during which JACK registers hundreds of xruns, then renoise just segfaults and terminates. I can resume work by restarting renoise, the JACK session itself and other apps don’t seem affected.
