Renoise Forum

Hi there! I have a project in Renoise in which I foolishly used a lot of Roland Zenology Pro VST instances. After upgrading them to include more soundbanks, the VST’s have become even more heavy and slow-to-load, making my older projects crash when I open them.

To explain, I open up the project, It takes about 10-15 seconds for the song to actually appear on screen and then I can see the CPU usage start skyrocketing without me doing anything. It reaches a point where it gets to the CPU overload prevention threshold (which I’ve experimented both with it set 90% or 60%, both result in the same outcome) and then the GUI just freezes indefinetly with the weird effect of me being able to still use my midi keyboard to play the VST that was selected when I last saved the song (which basically means that renoise hasn’t fully crashed!). The bad part is, it just stays frozen like that and If I try to click anywhere in the Renoise interface (I’m on windows) then I get a “renoise is not responding” pop-up, urging me to wait or close the program. As many windows users probably know, clicking to wait never results favorably.

I’m at a loss as I’d like to continue working on those old songs. Previously, before upgrading the VSTS to inlude more soundbanks, Renoise would just overload and I’d get a pop-up saying that the audio driver had to stop because of high CPU usage. The workaround back then was that: I’d click play then immediatly stop as I’d see the CPU usage go too high up. Every time I’d repeat this it would get progressively better. After repeating this step a number of times eventually everything would be fine and the CPU would not overload anymore staying at a comfortable 20-30% (considering the amount of VSTS loaded, it’s amazing!). Now If I try that, the moment I click stop, Renoise just freezes indefinetly.

This only seems to happen with Roland Zenology VST’s and my during my research I did find a considerable number of users complaining of the poor performance of these VST’s. Still, my quest remains and I would be very gratefuly for any pointers that would help me recover these songs.

Thank you for your time & interest!

I produce wery hard techno, hardcore-techno / gabber with Renoise.
One producer friend that have worked with Renoise longer showed me a code that should sync the vocal with any bpm I choose to produce with in Renoise.

I thought, wow, nice what an easy way to get the vocals and BPM in sync. He told me that it was this:
“code” os00 och osf00 and click ctrl I to create the code for vocals. I do this in each patterns fx section.

I record some own vocals, with help of others but I also sample a lot of vocals from anything I want to use.
(Like movies etc and I also buy vocals sometimes.)

Now when I check I know that this code and method dont work. I have double checked by export a vocal file and check the vocal with FL Studio, and I see now this is not correct.

I would like to know any tips & tracks on how people that make any kind of dance music match vocals with the bpm of your track?

Thanks

I’m looking for a effective key mapping to

• move the note under the cursor together with the cusor
• push the notes below the cursor down
• pull the notes below the cursor up
  I could not find such options in the standard keys / pattern editor settings.
  Is this possible (without scripting)?

Outer-National Dub and Scrub from Beyond the Pale.

DISCUS HIBISCUS - A Sauntersaus Production

From a high enough point you can see
Remnants of a time distant to we
When the world was untamed, wild, and free
from the advance of civilization’s tyranny.

To toil and to patter
rise up and to scatter
and a past free tribe is erased
and the names of their ancestors made disgraced
and you are given a foul new face
in a company of mindless reprobates.

Time conquers all.

Where hooded rebels in every tree sway
and the forces of evil look in dismay
they’ll push all their walls out of the way
and then retake everything on that day.

…

hi, i really need shift-up/down/left/right to be user-assignable instead of “globally force assigned”

because then i can script this

there’s prior requests at Make Shift+Arrows Assignable from 2011.

hello everyone,
I’m using renoise on endeavouros 64bits(arch linux) i have read the manual of the faderfox ec4 nothing to complicated to use with renoise(i have not it yet i wait to have the money).
I have a question i have 16 potentiometers which are toggle at the same times(not the same cc) so could i use one page for the same effect on different tracks for example i have a vst effect on tracks 1and 3(the same effect) i was thinking one of the 16 toggle to select the track 1 with assigned toggle 1 and after select the toggle 3 for track 3 .
another question could i use the same presets each time i load the vst which
are programmed control?

thank’s ju

Hi everyone,
After buying a new PC with Windows 11, for some reason my Renoise only works with Asio4All while I would like it to connect directly to my Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. I often use Splice.com to listen to samples at the same time, but unfortunately when I use the Asio4All set in Renoise, my browser does not produce any sound, it is deaf…
It comes back only when I turn off Renoise, close the browser and restart it that the sound comes back in the PC, then I start Renoise again and the problem repeats. Is there a quick solution to this problem? In windows 10 everything worked fine.
Maybe it’s some little thing in the settings that I don’t know about and I have no idea how to set it up…

A little while ago, I suggested that the file browser should be enhanced with a recursive search function. I have another idea that would bring a similar level of convenience (i.e. the ability to quickly find a suitable sample or soundfont without having to rummage through folders or use an external search tool). My idea is to simply turn the already existing preset menus into a folder tree view with a search bar, located in the right pane where the file browser is.

That way, Renoise would only need to keep an index of its own preset folders, rather than the whole file system, in order for the search to be fast. The con is that you wouldn’t be able to do indexed search in other locations, but the workaround is to simply make a symlink of your sample library in the Renoise sample preset folder. (I don’t know how symlinks work on Windows, but they’re extremely simple on Unix-like OSes.)

This is an example of what I would want it to look like (the screenshot is from LMMS):

Or, like what we already have with the plugin browser:

Heyaah peeeps!!!

I’ve made bassline generator in Dev-C++ for Windows. Program is standalone - it’s not VSTi .dll, I can not still figure out what calls has to be implemented in the plug to let the DAW open it. Even after getting throughout VST SDK, which does not compile and contain errors. Even after few books from Mr. Pirkle. So I made usual executable. Algorythm is too slow for a plugin anyway.

Program opens file requester to choose script .txt file with bassline sequence. After a longer moment another requester popps in to choose filename for .raw output file. More details are there in .txt info file in archive.

I have a couple of patterns and want to render them, Track by Track and pattern by pattern.
So I choose the right click in the pattern organiser “render selection to disk”

How can I render the pattern automatically and name them automatically.

Thanks in advance

hi, how do i return keyboard focus after clicking on a slider or a button in a LUA GUI? I would prefer to be able to continue keyjazzing or shooting shortcuts, even if the GUI is open.

A Jpeg to wav tool like sunvox has would be great to have for renoise

SunVox: Sampler eats JPEG images

If someone could pull this off i think it would be @martblek with all his great tools he already has created.

It would be great to be able to set the live quantization amount in the main pattern editor to fractions of LPB (1/2, 1/4, 1/8…) and have the note entered with the exact amount of delay in the delay column.

I know I can just set a higher LPB for the whole track when I start but it would be nice to be able to play in live parts with higher resolution and still have it quantize immediately.

Playing around with the phrase script at moment.

For instance I have this:

return rhythm { unit = "1/8", resolution = 4/4, --pattern = pattern.euclidean(12, 16, 0), --emit = cycle("{A4 A5 E4 C4}%2, {A4 E4 A4}%4") emit = cycle("{{a1}/4} {{a3}/4 {{-}/8} {{b}/8} {{a2}/4} } ") }

When changing the notes or the unit value, etc. I’m always getting one or more xruns. My current DSP load in the project is (only) 26% and the phrase script only controls a sample loaded into the Renoise sampler.

Is this maybe because the script changes the values immediately and possibly exactly when the sample is played?

Another thing I just realized. When the track is playing and the phrase scripting window is open I 'm getting xruns when opening Firefox over Renoise and the other way around. If other windows are open in Renoise (e.g. pattern editor) that’s (of course) not the case.
