New Tool: Interpolate Between Patterns

February 24, 2024 - 03:01

Hello, I have made another tool, similar structure to the last one. A new hotkey that interpolates between two step modulation points, the current step and the next to occur, across patterns. I often set modulation to occur across several patterns and I hate using graphical automation. Now I can define my start and end values and tie between them.

As is with the last one, please point out where I went wrong and I will fix it.

Font subpixel rendering

February 23, 2024 - 21:24

Since freetype supports subpixel rendering of fonts, maybe this can be exposed in Renoise? Or does it look less slick/oldschool/homogenous?

I was never been a music lover

February 23, 2024 - 07:14

I have never been a music lover since my childhood, and that can be so weird for so many as well. I am 20 right now, I went on my trip to London last month. I saw a group of blind people singing and using ancient musical instruments so beautifully in the street. I looked at them for about 4 to 5 hours, sitting there and enjoying my coffee. And then I realized that music is an art. I’m rehearsing myself, and to be precise, I am all about old 90s music. Last month I got myself an old kind of turntable from Angels Horn Coupons and love it. I am looking for an old classic harmonium. Does anyone has any idea where I can get that at a discounted price?

How to render each track thru master into a separate file?

February 22, 2024 - 15:25

Hey crew!

I like to render my tunes into wav tracks after I’ve finished them. I often have a gainer, eq or some other plugins on the master track so I want my tracks to be bounced thru master. I’ve done it by soloing each track and rendered the song track by track to get each track’s signal thru master track. But is there an easier way to do this? I mean, can I somehow choose individual track signals to go thru master track while rendering all the tracks into separate files at once?

Total Headless operation possible?

February 21, 2024 - 19:45

First, thanks for keeping the 90’s alive for me with Renoise! Computers stopped being fun after my A500 days, but Renoise helps a lot.

Ok, this is probably an odd question, and I have been all over the manual and other forum posts.
What I am trying to do is run Renoise completely headless on a dedicated PC placed inside some custom hardware (already built).

I need Renoise to do only the following…

  • Load up to 256 samples into PC RAM. Samples up to 16 seconds in length, most much shorter.
  • Trigger up to 8 (prefer 16) of those samples via midi or the OSC option. Low lag needed.

So really, I just need it to replace the 16 channel sample player I built using a lot of hardware a few years back. 16 dedicated 12 bit dacs, each on its own custom phase accumulator circuit. Much like a Fairlight.

The PC (good spec) will be running windoze and have everything stripped to the minimum for max performance. The PC will boot, launch Renoise and then listen on the USB port for external commands from my custom hardware through a driver I have already written.

Since I wrote the hardware interface, I can have it control Renoise via midi or OSC (whatever seems most logical). I even considered using a mouse and keyboard control hack if needed. Since the PC will do nothing else, I have total control to make this work.

So, what do you think? Can Renoise be made into a headless sample player?
My other option is to spend 2 years learning how to write a dedicated WASAPI player, but I am not really wanting to spend that much time.

Cheers!

Purchase in Russia

February 20, 2024 - 21:27

Hello everyone, I was thinking about buying renoise, but there’s a problem, the cards don’t work. There is an option through a bank transfer, but will it work normally, or does the payment system still accept russian mastercard and visa?

Convolver Color - what EQ is applied?

February 19, 2024 - 16:28

On certain IRs the color slider sounds fantastic, and I wish I could print that setting to the impulse response so I could use it elsewhere - do we know exactly what the colour slider does so I could replicate it?

Thanks!

New tool: Parameter Lock

February 18, 2024 - 17:13

I really liked working on the digitakt and digitone when I had them. I would abuse Plocks, I found them to be an easy way to modulate without ruining my original sound, which is the problem I often run into when trying to automate parameters in DAWs.

I have crafted a crude tool to simulate this functionality. You will find two hotkeys, one for “short” and one for “long” parameter locks. It works like this:

  1. type in your effect column parameter automation the parameter you want to “lock”
  2. activate the hotkey
  3. the “short” hotkey will place the original (read: currently set) values before and after your plock. This means that your sound is only changed for that step. The “long” version of the hotkey moves the “after” original value to the next note. This means your sound is changed for the entire note.

It’s important to consider that renoise actively adjusts the parameters based on their last played automation, so it’s important to be diligent when using this that the parameter you want to lock is set to the settings you like it at. I would advise you use this while renoise is paused. Other than that, it is pretty straightforward.

I’m not a programmer so I expect this to break under lots of use cases, but hopefully not. I don’t have a ton of time to test it right now and it seems to be working so I thought I would share it. Please feel free to let me know if it doesn’t work and I will have a go at fixing it.

Different Fonts for Patterncolums?

February 18, 2024 - 14:53

Hello, i am currently working on a Renoise color theme based on Fasttracker II’s “Blues” color theme.
I also recreated the “Future”-Font from ft2 as a TrueTypeFont and i am in the process to do so with the other bitmap fonts.

Is there by chance any way to change the fonts in the patterneditor individually,
so that delay/pan/volume or effects would be given a separate font as it used to be in ft2?
Or is this just one fixed font for all of the patterneditor?

Since there are XML tags in Config.xml for different fontstyles throughout the UI, i was wondering, if there might be a way to style the individual columns via PatternConfig.xml that might not be documented, since now it’s only used to define different fontsizes for the patterneditor to be selected from the configurationdialog.

Here is a screenshot of my work in progress:

And a Screenshot of Ft2 Clone for comparison:

Greetings and happy tracking

Renoise freezed and doesn't open anymore (Mac)

February 17, 2024 - 11:51

Hey guys!

I was working on Renoise and when I saved my project it freezed, so I had to force quit it. Now when I try to open Renoise it halts to the point where it is “Starting MIDI subsystems”.

I got version 3.4.1 running on Macbook Pro / Monterey. I’ve got this setup approx. 2 years now, it’s not connected to internet and I haven’t installed any new plugins or updates. It’s been a completely closed system.

Anyone got any ideas, how to fix this? Thanks!

Most XLN XO VSTs wont load correctly

February 17, 2024 - 02:09

Please point me in the right direction if a post like this already exists.

I have been having troubles with vst instruments loading with a black bar at the top and being unaligned. Namely XLN XO. I’m not sure what is causing the problem or if this is something I can fix. It’s almost as if the GUI map is usually larger than the pixels of the visual.

Has anybody else had this problem?

(v3.1+) Repeater BPM Sync Failure

February 16, 2024 - 13:51

(v3.1+) Repeater BPM Sync Failure

The Repeater’s Divisor setting takes the BPM into account when grabbing the sound slice, since the Divisor is a fraction of the beat length. At least that’s how it used to work when it was introduced in v2.8 up to v3.0.

Something changed in v3.1, where it no longer does this when changing the BPM. Even returning the BPM back to the first value has the repeats out of sync. This is clearly not how it’s supposed to work, since reloading the song again puts it back in sync.

Edit - Interestingly it works properly if the BPM is changed via effect commands or graphical automation. The problem seems to be when manually changing the setting in the Transport Panel.

New Tool (3.3): Repeater Notation

February 15, 2024 - 22:10

Repeater Notation - Renoise Tool

> Download Repeater Notation Tool

The Repeater captures a chunk of sound from what’s playing, but odd timings make it impossible to write music to match it. But what if you could, for example, have the kick drum follow exactly what the Repeater is doing?

This tool inserts notes into the Pattern Editor that match Repeater timings. It can be done manually or by linking to a Repeater and using its effect commands to track the changes made.

Limitations (v1.0)

  • Only uses data from effect commands, not graphical automation
  • If the Sync setting is automated, its changes are not taken into account
  • Contiguous repeats before the current pattern/selection can affect the rhythm in ‘Repeats - Sync’ mode if there’s no initial ‘Mode - Off’ to break them up

FabFilter Pro-Q3 (VST3) not reacting to automation commands

February 15, 2024 - 06:39

I’m trying to automate a filter sweep using automation commands, but the plugin isn’t responding to the commands nor graphical automation.

  1. I am running two instances of Pro-Q3 (VST 3), one for EQ and a secondary one purely as a filter.

  2. Set Secondary EQ as sweep in, use linear fill to fill in automation commands.

  3. Should filter sweep but doesn’t respond to commands whatsoever.

note: I’ve also tried sandboxing the plugin and also using VST 2 version, but it doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas?
I’ve also attached an image for illustration purposes as well.


Thanks

H.

Which piano roll tool are you using?

February 15, 2024 - 01:22

I have decided to finally try one of these piano rolls I have seen before. There’s a few of them so I was wondering which one you are using, for those who are using one, that is.

I do not need the one with the most features. All I really want is reliable, stable, not many glitches or strange behaviors. Just something that works how you would expect it to, and is easy to learn. Something that integrates well with the main software.
