Before I buy: ASIO and MIDI latency
@natraj wrote:
Hi!
I am currently evaluating Renoise. It’s a pity I can’t try ASIO, hope it does work with my interface (Behringer UMC 1820).
Is it possible, if using the ASIO driver, to use more than one Line Input Channels at once? I need 16.
Also, using the MIDI latency correction “MIDI Return Mode” without ASIO has very bad results - the timing is more than 2 beats off, too much for the ±100ms delay that is adjustable. Hope this works better with ASIO?
Thanks in advance!

Renoise with Tascam US-16x08
@liimo wrote:
Hi,
I’m slowly creeping into modular and would love to route everything into Renoise using multiple channels, for both sampling and live effects. Could anyone say if Tascam US-16x08 would fill the role, and if not, what does it lack? The helpful staff at thomann.de were utter barbarians and had no experience in Renoise.

How do YOU programme drums?
@fladd wrote:
There are at least 14 different ways to programme drums in the current version of Renoise:
-
Each sample in own instrument - one sample per track
-
Each sample in own instrument - all samples in one track
-
Each sample in own instrument - each sample in own phrase - one phrase per track
-
Each sample in own instrument - each sample in own phrase - all phrases in one track
-
All samples in one instrument - one sample per track
-
All samples in one instrument - one sample per track (with routing sampler outputs to different tracks)
-
All samples in one instrument - all samples in one track
-
All samples in one instrument - all samples in one track (with routing sampler outputs to different tracks)

I like to be able to mix my drums in the mixer, hence I used to do 6, but since I might want to convert my drum patterns into phrases to be used in Redux in Reaper, I am currently leaning towards 8.
Which one do you use? I am curious. Pros and Cons?

Tonelib VST Plugin
@lilith wrote:
Just tested the Tonelib effects in Debian Stretch and it works perfectly. Very very cool and a real alternative to Guitarix. The effects sound really good!
If the installer doesn’t work, just extract the zips and look for ToneLib-GFX.so file and put this in your /.vst folder.
Have fun!

Add Export option "remain tail"

Useful for Song exports with large Reverbs, so i don’t need to create empty patterns to get the tail exported, too.

New track with saved effectchain

I was thinking that being able to save an effectchain and then just say “new track using effect chain X” in the standard right click menu on the tracker would be bitchin’

Beautiful, Free, FM Synthesizers- Mac/PC/Linux
@Neuro_No_Neuro wrote:
So, for those of you who are really into the older FM sounds of 90’s PC soundcards (OPL3, OPL2, others)
HOLY COW!
I didn’t see these mentioned. They work perfectly as Audio Units in my version of Renoise. Also, I haven’t noticed any lag. They don’t seem to use up much in the way of CPU, and they have 5 different processors to give you variations of the same sound.
I tried to use the JUCEOPL3 version, but was getting a ton of lag, and I then pestered the person who made it, but they’re not working on it at this time. They then suggested these:
GitHub jpcima/ADLplugFM Chip Synthesizer — OPL & OPN — VST/LV2/Standalone - jpcima/ADLplug
In the center of the page, they have a link for pre-made, ready-to-go plugins for just about any platform.
What is most notable is that they have a few different emulations of the chips. So, you can get some crystal clear or pretty lo-fi FM if you want.
Not just preset sounds here, either. Looks like you can change all of the sounds pretty drastically.

Renoise rewire / Cubase 10?
@Gella wrote:
Hey all, super quick question.
Can anybody confirm that they can rewire Renoise (Win x64) as a slave into into Cubase 10?
I tried this with an earlier version of Cubase but I could not get it to appear as in the Cubase rewire options.
Thank you!

Renoise rewire master
@joakim.gunnerud wrote:
Hi good people.this is my first post here, so let me introduce myself. I am a lad from Norway and been making music with trackers since protracker on the good old amiga, so yeah I am old:) I am using renoise as my main(only) daw at this point, that is if we do not consider that I from time to time play around with trackers on my c64 too :)… now I have the opportunity to actually get vocals to some of my beats made with reason and therefore I have to implement another tool for that job. Still want renoise to be my main tool all the way so I am now thinking that I will install another daw to my computer an rewire it as slave to renoise. I have 2 possible programs to choose between(i can get (legally off corse) free licenses from a friend. So the question is really this: do anybody know wich of these two would work best as rewired slave? : reason 7 or fl 20?? Thank you in advance good people for your thoughts, advice and help. Pace.

Minimal analog stereo mixer - not pots/faders - just 4 inputs and output
@remsky wrote:
Hello, I imagined and now I am looking for a small form factor, possibly battery powered, stereo audio mixer. With no faders or pots - just mixing as it is.
Reason for - all my audio gear already has one way or another some kind of output volume controls - no need to double them - just mix it.

Hello,
Been trying to get back in to making music again, after 11 years of “writer’s block”. Had to re-learn to use Renoise and I’m slowly starting to get hang of it. So far I’ve finished 2 tracks which I’d like to share with you now:

From RENOISE to Logic to now RENOISE
@mpresev wrote:
I realized that the best songs and the most fun I had was using Renoise… Why? it’s the way we create tunes… I like that way of working… My mind is creative thinking about vertical sequencing. Plus?, I love step sequencing.
I’m back at it again… Next time, I’ll compose the songs off of RENOISE then bounce to audio and open on Logic.
I will be releasing my tunes as I used RENOISe… I want to give RENOISE credit because they changed how I produce tunes

Hello, advise? Pls
@mpresev wrote:
Halo World ,
I have a situtation. I’ve been using Renoise since 2010 but got really into producing in 2015.
I love it because sequencing vertically is what seems to make sense for me.
Anyway, I got my Audient sound card… I created a template sO I can make tunes quick.
Problem, My Roland MX1, I’m clocking it with RENOISE . Why is it that sometimes, it doesn’t play nor scroll. Sometimes, it will scroll… I spent so much time figuring this out… I also have the VIrus MIDI(only or 3 tracks) but I don’t use TI software… WHy is it not scrolling? or playing?
Sometimes it does work but I can’t figure it out. Is it the Audient soundcard? should I take out the midi VIRUS ? But I never had this problem before… The MX1 is important because RENOISe will clock it so my Elektron a4, TR8 and in sync…
Maybe I’ll start with a black page and see if I press play it will scroll… It’s annoying.

Unable to assign one MIDI channel only to one instrument only
@marcodsad wrote:
Hi there,
I’ve been using Renoise for many years (and love it!), but I generally don’t work with MIDI. Hence my questions here.
I’m on Linux Mint 19 with Renoise 3.1.
I’m using PureData to generate MIDI notes on two MIDI Channels (Ch1 and Ch2).
I want to assign each MIDI Input Channel to one instrument, so I use the Input Device tab in the MIDI section to do so.
Instrument 1 = MIDI Input Ch. 1
Instrument 2 = MIDI Input Ch. 2
AFAIK, this should result in MIDI notes on Channel 1 to activate Instrument 1 only, and notes on Channel 2 to activate Instrument 2 only. However, that’s not the case and I can’t understand why.
What actually happens is that any note on any channel activate whatever instrument is selected in the Instrument Tab. This also means that if I select another Instrument as the notes are coming in, the newly selected instrument will start playing and the old one will stop.
I doubled checked that the routing is correct using both “Show Routing Overview” and the plugin “MIDI Management Console”.
In the screenshot attached, as a test, I’m generating notes on MIDI Channel 4 to see if Instrument 1 gets activated. And indeed that’s what happens. Despite Instrument 1 being assigned to MIDI Input Channel 1, it still gets activated by notes on Channel 4, as you can see from the scope at the top.
any hint?
many thanks in advance, and excuse if I’m missing something obvious.
I’ve researched online and in the forum to no avail.
cheers,
M

Akai MPK mini - Linux - Device Name Issue
@lilith wrote:
As here are obviously many Akai MPK mini users with Linux, I ask this question also here as it might be partially related to Renoise.
I recently replaced an Akai LP 25 with an Akai MPK mini midi keyboard. While the LPK 25 was always listed as “Akai LPK 25” in Renoise, the MPK sometimes comes up as “MPK mini MK II Midi 1” and sometimes as “USB device 09e8:0026 midi”. When I unplug and plug it in again it comes up as “MPK mini MK II Midi 1”.
Does anyone know why this can change from time to time?

Suggestions from one who used trackers, since Master Soundtracker
@Kaao wrote:
I just concluded the loudness war argument on my channel, with 3-way -10dB RMS masters on my youtube channel, and is doing that at the moment.
And is concluding the interpolation debate aswell. Ever since trackers came on PC, the interpolation debate has been going. While the original Amiga had no interpolation, but rather variable rate DAC.
I came to think of this, and indeed it really is much better, since no interpolation = no interpolation error. However the “aliasing” should be filtered out.
Indeed one cannot guess the value, so why not just keep the value that is there, and lowpass it, for reconstruction of what more likely it was about.
The polyphase interpolator does much this. This is how the Amiga and trackerformat originally sounded, with modern conveniences such as aliasing filtering, and supersmooth 96K processing.
Furthermore, the whole VST debate has been a bit odd aswell, and one may consider if the compact tracker format, really was superior to begin with.
A horizontal trackerview option, would be more like a standard sequencer aswell, but keeping the tracker mindset.
One does not really need all the “moog surfaces” etc, type plugins, it all can be in an instrument- with-filter-env-fx oriented tracker, with some typical RMS mastering on the output. And who has the FX from when VST began. And one may consider if the return of such a compact format would be good.
Peace.
Early known for a #1 @ TG92light, and a #3 3 votes from #1, at TG93. And later trancemusic that was top locally on mp3.com. And now works with an intercultural musicproject, and a Fair Pay BSD based OS project.
