Renoise Forum

Installed Redux 1.3.5 Win64. Previous versions you would use spacebar to audition current phrase. Now it sort of half starts the daw transport instead. Not a biggie as such as I have downgraded back to 1.3.4. If could be fixed in the next release that would be ace.
Tested on Bitwig and Reason

Thanks

Hi! I’m SYCARNILA! Last year, I found Renoise and have been in love with it ever since. To me, it’s so satisfying to see the digital rain of notes falling through my screen!

I still have so much to learn, but I’m having so much fun with it and hoping someone out there has as much fun listening!

After a year of learning, practicing and experimenting on Renoise, I’ve already released a small game soundtrack for a game jam (the theme was Aqua)
SYCARNILA - Aqua Jam EP - YouTube

And then, I thought it’d be fun to dig up some of my favorite old projects (I didn’t know what else to do with them or lost motivation) and compile them into a collection:
SYCARNILA - RED CD COLLECTION (ABANDONED SONGS FROM 2023 ) - YouTube

Please let me know - did you have a favorite track? Criticisms? Thank you

so i’m trying to copy both the values and the parameter assignment of an *instr.automation device.

the reason being is that there seems to be no way of changing which instrument it controls. (is there a way)?

if there’s no way to do that, what am i missing with not being able to create a new *instr.automation device and copy both the values and the parameter assignments?

just for the sake of sanity, these are the ones i’m talkin about. how do i change them with lua?

Description:

If you create a DocumentNode from within a coroutine, when exiting Renoise a dialog appears saying “Renoise quit unexpectedly”. Clicking on report shows an illegal access.

Reproduction steps:

1. Create a new Renoise tool. Put the following in main.lua:

renoise.tool().tool_finished_loading_observable:add_notifier(function () coroutine.wrap(function () print("making prefs from a coroutine") local prefs = renoise.Document.create("CoroBugPreferences") { configured = false, } prefs:load_from("config.xml") end)() end)

2. Zip the tool and install it.

3. Verify the tool ran by checking the tool terminal. Then exit Renoise.

Expected results:

I don’t get an error when shutting down Renoise and it can shut down cleanly.

Actual results:

The OS shows an error.

Environment:

• MacOS 14.4.1 with System Integrity Protection enabled
• Renoise ARM64 V3.4.4 (built May 7 2024)

Error Report

I won’t post all of it because I don’t know what is safe to share. But hopefully this helps:

Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGILL) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000010 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000010 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 4 Illegal instruction: 4 Terminating Process: Renoise [48857] VM Region Info: 0x10 is not in any region. Bytes before following region: 4301471728 REGION TYPE START - END [ VSIZE] PRT/MAX SHRMOD REGION DETAIL UNUSED SPACE AT START ---> __TEXT 100634000-101638000 [ 16.0M] r-x/r-x SM=COW /Applications/Renoise.app/Contents/MacOS/Renoise

Towards the end I see “(Data Abort) byte read Translation fault”.

Details

The bug still occurs without the outer tool_finished_loading_observable callback. I think that should be there before I try to access tool preferences, so I left it.

I ran into this while working on a much more complex tool. This is the trimmed down version. I am using coroutines extensively to make the observable callbacks easier to deal with. As a workaround I can only load preferences outside of the coroutine. That prevents the error.

Anybody have any good recommendations or examples of some good AI stuff?I used plazma punk for the following clip

https://app.plazmapunk.com/share/clx51pa2r0003qbg8endavt8d

Its cool and all but its sooo hard to control any of it,it kind of does what it wants really…bit disappointing
Maybe there is some other AI stuff out there that can be molded more easily to what you want?

I rebuild the same tracks (same samples, VSTs, settings) I had in Reaper → in Renoise and Reaper is much louder. No compressors or limiters in either DAW.
Any idea what knobs to tweak?

When I first started using Renoise I was using a 60% keyboard. I quickly got frustrated with having to use the function key with the arrow keys, so I switched to a TKL.

As time has gone by I am left wanting a smaller keyboard again, specifically a corne. To anyone here who has used this keyboard (or similar) inside of Renoise, how has your experience been? Can you recommend it?

Is there a way I can load a lot of samples in an instrumet and have a slider to choose which sample is played?

Basically I would like to make some kick or other drum selectors.

Hey all,

Is there a way to enter or play notes in Renoise lower than c0? I can’t see anything in the UI or options menu, but maybe there’s a way to change this elsewhere (scripting, config files, magic?), or some technique I’m missing.

The reason is that I also use Drumcomputer by Sugarbytes, and the notes to trigger a pattern start from c-2 (c minus two, not c2), and I can’t see a way to change this in Drumcomputer, although I will ask over there as well.

I can still trigger individual hits from Renoise (as they start from c0 in Drumcomputer), and I can understand that going below c0 doesn’t make a lot of sense for a tracker, but it would be nice if it’s possible, just for some extra sequencing options.

Thanks.

hi, is it possible to somehow read the OS and figure out where the metronome wavefile is? i’d hate to try to hardcode it to /Users/esaruoho/etc as that would make it completely useless.

but what i’m talking about is having a Preference in a tool that sets the volume of the metronome to a specific volume, by destructively loading, modifying the sample volume and saving the sample on top of the original metronome.wav, no matter if in linux, windows or macOS.

can this be done, @taktik?

Sorry if this is all a bit crabwise, but I’m a bit drunk right now.

I’ve just been to a Sunday matinee gig at the Museum Vaults in Sunderland. Usually these are DIY punk gigs but today it was summat a bit different: Badger, Seizure and Holy Braille (my preferences ran in the reverse order) - mostly electronica with a bit hip-hop in the middle. At any rate, by the headliners, I found meself thinking what it was that didn’t quite sit well with me and concluded it was what I’ve heard termed as “the tyranny of small differences”. I’ve been making electronica for donkey’s years and so I inevitably have particular opinions and tastes about how it should sound, which tends to make me more critical than I would typically be with, say, a punk band, cos I haven’t done much of that.

Anyway, all of this preamble is probably kind of irrelevant. The point is, it got me reflecting on my own stuff and I hit on the sudden realisation that I’ve been doing this shit for 30 years. And I’m still not good at it, so I should probably keep me opinions to meself.

So anyhow, for anyone who has waded through this, here’s a giggle for you: a video I did a few years ago when I realised I’d been making music for a quarter of a century. It’s basically a string of short clips of songs - one per year - I made between 1994 and 2019, starting with OctaMED and moving on through Cubase to starting with Renoise back in 2004. I know it’s mostly crap, but there’s a pleasingly unsanitised or idealised progression to it anyway. It’s one of these thing where I like to see it occasionally cos it makes me feel like I have actually developed a bit, even if in essence my musical ideas are basically the same as they were in my teens.

It might interest you anyway.I feel a weird need to fly the flag for talentless hacks.

Hi,
I downloaded the demo to see if this was my workflow, but when it was downloaded and all seemed well, i got signal 11 when i ran it from my terminal. Is there anything i can do to fix this because it would very much like to try and maybe buy Renoise!

I’m still clinging to Camel Audio’s Alchemy, thanks to Renoise’s bridge. With macOS Sonoma on Apple silicon (M1 and M3 Pro), Alchemy’s GUI is blank in Renoise v3.4.4, but worked in earlier versions. Disabling Metal and turning off the HiDPI support setting does not help.

I tested various configurations…

Alchemy’s VST GUI works (is shown correctly) on:

• Renoise v3.3.2 running on Intel + Monterey / Ventura / Sonoma.
• Renoise v3.3.2 running on Apple silicon + Ventura / Sonoma (via Rosetta).
• Renoise v3.4.1, 3.4.2, and 3.4.3 running on Apple silicon + Sonoma.
• Renoise v3.4.4 running on Intel + High Sierra (in a VM).

Alchemy’s VST GUI does not work (is a blank window) on:

• Renoise v3.4.x running on Intel + Monterey / Ventura / Sonoma.
• Renoise v3.4.4 running on Apple silicon + Sonoma.

The AU GUI works on v3.3.2 in all configurations, but none of the others in v3.4.x. I really only use the VST, so I’m not bothered by that–just sharing more information if it helps diagnose.

I can work around this by using an older version of Renoise to configure the VST instruments first, then exporting/opening them in the newer version for composition. My primary configuration is Apple silicon + Sonoma, so at least I can just bounce between v3.4.3 and v3.4.4.

Is anybody else getting strange results with the keyzone layers set to random?Sometimes it behaves strangely and it’s as if it randomizes once then just keeps repeating the sequence.

For instance its really clear to see when you do this.New instrument that contains 2 samples of a hi hat,keyzones are layered and it is set to random.Instead of truly being random it is just switching between the two samples in a consistent manner,every once in a while the sequence will change slightly but it quickly moves back to the cyclical pattern.

Hello there,

maybe those who work on Linux with Renoise know the very annoying focus problem that you can’t play with the keyboard anymore when a plugin is focused. There are a few workarounds like permafocus (I made a script for linux renoise users that lets you play notes with PC keyboard while focused on a plugin window - #12 by grymmjack) but still for me that never was a real solution.

That’s why I started to code a small tool which is running in the background and which intercepts all raw key presses/releases with the X11/XInput API and redirects them to the main window. I only tested this on my system yet, seems to work pretty fine though! I still have to find a way to do that only for windows which also contain a plugin.

ALPHA! Run it to fix the annoying plugin focus problem in Renoise on Linux/X11 - titanlab/renoisix

So if anybody is interested and wants to help testing, message me!
