Like the title says should I and how to do it in Renoise?I see a maximise volume in the sample editor is that it?

Is anyone willing to participate in some “sample battle” alike challenge, let’s say - per month/ 2 week?
just for creative purposes, nothing serious indeed?
rules would be to use just given sample and - let’s say certain drum break?
or just sample?
Cheers!

Didn’t sleep at all last night so I made a fairly quick ambient track instead. Based the idea off of loop pedals where sounds don’t follow set rhythms, but pop in and out, yet still sound rhythmically right.

Hello all! Long time Renoise user but first time poster!

I downloaded to demo of Reaper today hoping to use it as a multitrack linear recorder to capture the output of renoise. I’ve installed rewire and I can load a rewire input into the master channel of a renoise project, select the device as Reaper, thats opens reaper fine and hitting space bar starts both renoise and reaper. However I can’t see any audio coming into reaper? I insert a track, enable record but nothing? In the routing box on the reaper track I can see all the inputs on my Focusrite interface but no rewire input from genoise. If I click on the fx box I can see all of my vst’s but no reference to rewire? In the reaper pref’s I’ve got all boxes checked in the rewire section?

Maybe I’m missing something obvious…Most likely! But just to clarify is it possible to send multiple renoise tracks to reaper? And am I doing the correct thing by inserting a rewire input (Surely this should be a rewire ‘send’ or ‘output’??) as a vst in the mix window on a per track basis?

Cheers in advance!

Very often I wonder if there’s an easy method to mute or delete the instruments of a bunch of lines in several tracks. I usually mark the notes with the mouse and cut them, but is there something more fast? Let’s say delete all notes between Line 10-15 in track 1-12. What would help here if it would be possible to reduce the number of lines per pattern from the top, but not from the end. I guess that’s not possible due to Renoise design, at least this is what I read here somewhere.

Is there a way to work out how many samples per beat at different BPMs?

How do I work out the exact length in samples of different musical notes’ single-cycles? (standard western equal temperament).

Im looking for a musical note whose single-cycles, when multiplied by 4s or 8s, will fit perfectly into one beat at a certain BPM…This question is pertaining to writing bytebeat formulas which result in something in rhythmical time and in tune…below is the question from caustic forums (the 8bitsynth module there is a bytebeat formula synth)

"Just trying to work this out, this is what Im thinking so far:

The caustic 8bit synth bytebeat formulas can create waveforms of the standard length for waveforms which can be tuned perfectly, that is waveforms which are 256 samples in length.

To tune a waveform of 256 samples in length to exactly A4 = 440Hz I must transpose -5 semitones and finetune +30 cents, this results in a perfect A4-440Hz wave-cycle which is exactly 100 samples in length…(maybe this is 141Hz, but its the closest I can get… 99 samples is out of tune, so is 101 samples single wave cycle length)

So anyway, if I use bytebeat formulas which are based around cycles of 256 samples in length, I can definitely tune to A4 afterwards and be perfectly in tune.

However to be in time (with all the bubbling, sizzling, dial up modem-like rhythmical shit that bytebeat formulas can produce) I now have to work out which BPM value will give me a beat-length which is divisible by exactly 100samples…any ideas? Or another note may be better than A4? A note whose wave cycle repeated a certain number of times (probably if its multiples of 8 its best for most rhythms) fits exactly into a particular BPMs beat length

Is there a way to work out how many samples per beat at different BPMs?

How do I work out the exact length in samples of different notes’ single-cycles?"

Was playing around with FM synthesis today to kind of back up my efforts to study music theory, and I got kind of confused about the relationship between fm ratios and notes / scales.

I used a sine wave operator (ratio of 1.0000) as the root note and stacked four more sine wave operators at the 3rd (ratio 1.2599), 5th (ratio 1.4983), 7th (ratio 1.8877), and 12th intervals (ratio 2.0000). The result was fine, everything sounded clean as expected. Then I imported a midi file with a few harmonies of a guitar track I was noodling around with and tried playing it with the above FM setup and it sounded pretty bad.

The first harmony were the notes F#5 / A5, both played at the same time like a two note chord I suppose you could say. When the notes are played together using just the root operator (1.0000) they sound fine. When they are played together and the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 12th intervals get introduced they sound dissonant. However when the notes are played in isolation with the 3, 5, 7, & 12 intervals they sound fine again.

My music theory knowledge is pretty limited and I’m trying to understand why this is? Is it because while F#5 and A5 sound good together with just the root operator, their individual harmonies on 3, 5 , 7, & 12 do not and so clash causing dissonance?

If this is right then how do you use FM synthesis to create sounds that can be played using chords without clashing harmonics? Or is FM really just for creating big thick sounds with harmonics that are played using only single notes?

Hey guys, I’m having a bit of trouble. I can’t play keys on my keyboard after tweaking a knob on a VST. I just hear a ding. I feel like renoise thinks I’m trying to type something into the VST. I remember this was not a problem before so does anyone know how to toggle this?

Bit of a longer track this one, near the 3 min mark. Bit stumped on where to go next with it so I’ll leave it at this for now. Been mixing on shitty $13 earbuds and Macbook speakers, so probably might not sound the best, I can’t really tell.

I really like the automation editor.

Could we define, let’s say 4 MIDI parameters (may it be CC or NRPN, 7 bit or 14 bit) for an Instrument and just draw? Enter a resolution (e.g two messages per line) so it doesn’t clutter up the bus?

Entering a filter cutoff LFO or ramp in the editor with MIDI commands is tedious work

I want to do symetrical stereo pulsing effects on certain instruments but I dont really understand what I should be careful of doing to avoid cancellation…

For example, If I had two perfect sine wave instruments both starting from center and moving outwards to hard left and hard right then back to center to do this kind of symetrical stereo pulsing thing would I have any cancellation issues? It will be fine on headphones, but what about on a two speaker setup, or two speakers and a subwoofer?

Ive heard people talking about inverting thing to avoid cancellation. Presumably if one of the two sine instruments mentioned above was inverted then it would cancel the other out. Is that right?

Also, is this kind of symetrical stereo pulsing thing going to be ‘mono-compatible’?

sorry, its a noob question

Hello
Ok so i had such a hard time figuring this out so im now posting this in the hope it will help someone else

Knowing how popular the Roland Boutique range are, im sure many will find this helpful!!!

So I wanted to be able to connect, trigger and automate many controls of the Roland TR-08.
I tried a program (VST) I found online but it was sooooo complicated and the support was just RIP lol so I kept trying with Renoise.

Now I have figured it out so hopfully you wont get the same headache I have, PLUS it WILL save you money on 3rd part VSTs or add-on.

What do you need?
Well you need a Roland TR-08 and Renoise

Whats the end goal?
To be able to connect to your TR-08 via MIDI
Trigger the TR-08 via MIDI from Renoise
Change and Automate the values of your TR-08 via MIDI from Renoise (Example Levels, Decays, Tones, Tunes)

Here is a little step guide to get you started:

1. Connect your TR-08 to your computers USB port then launch Renoise
2. Select “Instrument Settings” Tab
3. Click “Ext. MIDI”
4. Select “Device” as “TR-08”
5. Change “Channel” to “10”
6. Check “Mode” is set to “ext.MIDI”

1. Use the keyboard to kind each instrument (example: Bass Drum, Snare…)
2. Choose an empty Track
3. Just make a quick beat / loop using those keys in step 1.
4. Select “Track DSPs” tab
5. Scroll to the “Meta” category
6. Double click “*Instr. MIDI Control”
7. Check “Linked Instruments” in “*Instr. MIDI Control” is set to “MIDI: TR-08 (Ch10)”
8. Click the presets menu in “*Instr. MIDI Control” and select “Import Preset…”
9. Select the “Roland TR-08.xrdp” file (Download Link)

You are now set to start automating the controls of the TR-08

PLEASE NOTE: Due to restriction of “*Instr. MIDI Control” I could not enter ALL instrument CCs
Some are missing for the CowBell - You can always edit the onces I have included to make room for all the cowbell setting if you need too
Here are the missing CCs for the Cowbell

Effect: Control No:
CB TUNE 86
CB DECAY 87

Hint:
If you have a different boutique then the TR-08 you can use the same process as I did with “*Instr. MIDI Control”
All you need is the Midi Implementation Chart from the Roland website for the boutique in question.
When you have it, look for the Control Change sections to see a full list of the Instruments and the CC Numbers

To some, this may have been very obvious but to me I searched everywhere for this and found nothing!
I even purchased a VST plugin to try and help but it just made things even more complicated lol

Hope you find it useful!

Hi all!
This kinda has 2 parts so please read all before posting replies ;0)

I can connect and control the TR-08 with Renoise but im finding that its limited to sending back only 1 parameter change per line…

Example: (For controlling the SnareDrum on my TR-08 via Renoise in the Pattern Editor)
SnareDrum - Lv: M0 [1D00] ~ [1D7F]
SnareDrum - Tone: M0 [1900] ~ [197F]

Say I had a snare hit at line 4 i would then have to add “M0” in the “Panning Colum” followed by 1D00 to 1D7F in the last colum to adjust the Level of the SnareDrum, But What if I want to change BOTH the “Level” and the “Tone”?
I tried expanding the last colum to display another 4 spaces to enter the 1900 to 197F but it does not effect the TR-08 - its as if it only recognizes one permater change at a time.

Now this being said above, I did a search on google and found this little tool called “TR-08 Editor Controller”

Has anyone had any success with this VST and Renoise “TR-08 Editor Controller”

What does it do?
Well if you have a Roland TR-08 this Standalone and VST can help automate many processes of the TR-08
However, since the instructions are mainly geared towards Ableton users im feeling like im bashing my head up a brick wall trying to set it up with Renoise

I have emailed the developer but from other messages i’ve seen on the net, the support is very poor.

Cheers in advance!
