Seems the new Band in a box VST plugin should work in most DAWs, including Renoise.

 

Cool!

MAC: User library folders empty

January 12, 2019 - 12:31

Hi

For some reason the renoise user library on this mac have become empty. Not sure if this is a bug or what! 

 

Its a shared computer, is there any way to reinstall the user lib and keep all my tools etc ? (ie without a reinstall)

 

WEIRD!

No one would have deliberately deleted the contents of the folders for sure

Hi all

January 11, 2019 - 21:22
Greetings all,

My name is Scott and I’m a new Renoise user. I have to say I love the program so far. Making glitch and drill and bass beats is SOO much easier in Renoise than in Reaper. Well just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Can’t wait to really learn the power of Renoise

midi through (midi routing to effects)

January 11, 2019 - 19:20

Hey, I try to use a VST FX that can recieve midi notes and MPE messages. Problem : these midi messages don't seem to go throught the instrument and never reach the effect

 

Is there a way to route the midi messages to a VST effect ?

 

Thanks

Is there a way to jump the cursor to the playhead location?

January 11, 2019 - 19:17

When I have the 'follow playhead' turned off, and the playhead is somewhere off screen, is there a hotkey or so I can press to jump the cursor/screen to the current playhead position?

Thanks!

how to constrain MIDI note recording to one column ?

January 11, 2019 - 19:11

Hello and happy new year to all !

 

I am recording a monophonic melody on the fly from a MIDI keyboard, and I have 3 questions, of which the 1st is my main issue :

 

1.

Is there a way of preventing Renoise to create additional columns within my track when notes (almost inevitably) overlap ? And if not, then is there an easy way to merge all columns after recodring ?

 

2.

Is there a way of quantizing on the fly, instead of adding tick offset for almost every note ?

 

3.

Is there a way of recording (say) aftertouch directly to the curve editor (the panel behind the effects panel) instead of the effect column, in order to get a smoother rendering of it?

 

Thanks in advance

Fred

Redux: ability to assign slices to a range of keys (different pitches)

January 11, 2019 - 15:58

When I bring in a sample for chopping up, I like to slice it up with different sample start points and have each slice spread over 4-5 keys so that I can play it from different pitches.

 

I find it difficult to do in redux:

- If I use slices, I can easily and non-destructively edit the start and end points of the slices, but am limited to one key and one pitch for the slice

- If I use separate samples, I can spread each one over a range of keys (with each at a different pitch), but the sample start point is not settable dynamically, I have to cut off the start of the sample to play it from a different start point. This really kills the experimentation aspect and fun of simply moving a marker around to set the start point.

 

I know people have requested the ability to set the start point of a sample with a marker, this would solve this problem. But if there is some major architectural reason that this is difficult to do without messing up a lot of things, perhaps the ability to spread slices over a range of keys would be a good alternative (also more elegant as you don't need multiple copies of a sample).

Renoise Scripting Terminal And Editor?

January 11, 2019 - 12:50
Hi there, I'm reading on some places about a scripting and editing terminal for Renoise but I can't find anything like it on the tool page, nor on the Renoise site itself about it. Where and how do I get it?

macos: symbolic links no longer supported with 3.1.1?

January 11, 2019 - 12:48

Hi, I'm ramming my head against this:

 

I use iCloud Drive to save KeyBindings.xml and Tools. Before you throw a "I can't understand", replace iCloud Drive with OneDrive, or DropBox, or Google Drive or whatever. Cloud-based backup of Tools / KeyBindings.

 

I've tried making symbolic links to KeyBindings.xml from 

~/Library/Application Support/Renoise/V3.1.1/Library

 

yet they seem to be ignored (I make the symbolic link while Renoise is closed, then open Renoise, the shortcuts are not updated.)

 

I copy KeyBindings.xml to that folder (giving up, basically), and seems to work. but that is now a static copy - I need these to be updated from the Cloud.

 

Now, where is the default location for Renoise Tools though? ~/Documents/Renoise/Tools or some ~/Library?

Basically am trying to figure out how to use iCloud Drive (or Dropbox or whatever) so that Renoise KeyBindings + Tools are _always_ in sync.

 

How do I do this, please? Does Renoise prefer accessing ~/Documents/Renoise folders? Why am I finding it troublesome to even figure out where KeyBindings.xml is supposed to go? Where are the link / folder details in Renoise Preferences?


And.. If I have the Tools in ~/Documents/Renoise/Tools - how come none of the tools show in Renoise?

The best production tip/ concept you learnt in 2018?

January 11, 2019 - 00:09

One of those end of year threads, because it`s December and why not?
 
The best production tip/ concept you learnt in 2018?.. I finally understood the value of Mid-Side compression on buses and master bus!
 
I`ve had MS compressors on my hard drive for years but never really utilised them properly; just tinkering then defaulting back to stereo.  However I started demoing and ended up buying Cylone Compressor after trying on the master bus and it finally clicked.
 
Basically If you want to add significant compression to a bus with heavy kicks and bass (content that should mostly be centred), you`re going to collapse your stereo field as the compressor pulls excessively on higher frequency stereo stuff -> frustration and misery!
 
Use mid side compression and you can keep your stereo info in tact  ...Yay Pro soundz 2019!!!!!
 
Of course it doesn`t mean you should never use stereo processing on the bus, just that if you want to maintain stereo width, it`s worth playing with some ms processing too-- particularly if you want to do more than a couple of dB compression, as in typical SSL bus-comp style.
 
 
 
--------------------
Some mid-side freebies (I`ve only tested HBC recently though)
 
Density Compressor
 
MS EQ COMP - which seems to require registration manager / app
 
Not full m/s control, but has m/s slider so you can reduce the compression happening at the sides.  One of my favourite freeware compressors aswell (scroll halfway down page):
Hybrid bus Compressor-2

insert key problem

January 10, 2019 - 23:42

Hi guys, I have a new HP laptop and a very strange problem - insert key doesn't work as its supposed to.

Its shared with the 0 key on the numpad but no matter if numlock is on or off, renoise is always registering it as 0 and opens the instrument editor.

I checked in wordpad and insert key works as it should so seems like its renoise not recognising it.

Any idea why ?

Thanks very much

 

*** update ***

 

Just checked and in Sunvox it works as it should.

Any news for future versions ?

January 10, 2019 - 23:34

Hi !

 

Sorry to be the one to bring that topic back. Just so you know : i'm very happy with 3.1 and have no probleme with it…

 

but still I'm curious. How are thing's going with renoise ? Can you make plans for future versions… or is it not quite possible yet ?

 

Thanks

Workflow?Tell me yours.

January 10, 2019 - 22:24
Happy new year friends!!So basically i still haven't managed to get a good workflow in Renoise but i will get there eventually.I thought it would be very interesting to know your workflow and maybe try some different approach.

Possible X001/X000 pattern command bug

January 10, 2019 - 07:50

Steps to recreate:

1) Put an effect on a track

2) Turn effect off

3) Put a 1001 command in the middle of a pattern

4) Put a 1000 somewhere after it

5) Set the pattern to loop

6) Press play

 

What I expected to happen: Effect stays off until the 1001 where it turns on, turns off at the 1000, stays off until it loops round to the 1001 again.

 

What actually happens: Effect stays off until the 1001 where it turns on, turns off at the 1000, then turns itself on again when it loops to line 00.

 

Not sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour that I'm just not understanding.

Add Butterworth and Chebyshev filters to Chorus filter?

January 10, 2019 - 01:11

On chorus especially it would make so much sense to have a tougher filter for pure utility. The current highpass are kinda wimpy when it comes to keeping stereo out of my bass. 

 

Is there a was to do this or a reason it can't be implemented? 

 

To be fair, having any chorus filter at all makes chorus way more viable for bass sounds, so I'm thankful for that. But Chebyshev filter (best filter   ) would take the idea all the way
