My Unusual Life (should be a trip to read, true story)
I know I went on about some of my life like a weirdo in other posts, but I think I figured out what’s wrong with the life I’m living, or at least what I know as the truth so far. I think my “family” are inter-dimensional time travelers who can mind-read. When I tell them about how I feel about my life, they automatically “assume” I’m hallucinating, and “people” know who I already am without even having knowledge of who they are. I don’t know if you call it the “devil,” but “people” who may be aliens have been revolving around my life, monitoring me. “People” mimic my old self too to make me regress in life, and they try to make me like them a little too much. Now, when I try to contact them, they ignore me completely and put up images of how I’d die, basically because my health has been hijacked, and the pictures and dates they posted relate 100%. Anyway, when I was about six or seven years old, the original grey brick game boy I used to play with automatically had a perfect backlit black and white screen at one point in the 90s. As a kid, I thought this was completely normal. But when I lost the game boy and a few years later found it, the backlight was gone and the game boy wouldn’t work anymore. Also, at one time I also stared into a static, unworking channel on the TV, and for some reason it showed a small part of the drive-thru scene of the movie The Fifth Element when I was six years old, and this was years before the movie came out, then the screen went back to static after the part of the scene ended. Also, there was a mandela-effect experience I had with the TV show Kenan & Kel. The episode where Kel was in the bagging contest seemed way more innocent in a way, but the thing about it is that I was in a dreamy state when I think about it now compared to how I felt back then while watching it. When I downloaded all the Kenan & Kel episodes in 2021, I came across the episode I was just mentioning, and I was like, I remember this… But the episode was much crazier and not so innocent, especially the ending. I was like, What the heck is this? I do not remember it being that way. The thing about it is that I’m naturally innocent and too intelligent, so they have to brainwash me into being stupid. If I’m using my smarts, they call me dumb; when I’m dumb, they call me smart. I could have changed the world for the better when they didn’t brainwash me into not paying attention in school. I came across a few pages of these textbooks about health and biology in class, and I could see some lies being put into them when I think about how misleading this “knowledge” is. The only thing that’s even worth a damn is language and math. Hey, but even the English language can be so extremely word-bending and intentionally punny, like aliens created it to mess with a human’s mind. Even my picture that was taken, which I do not remember, is of me as a toddler crying on Santa Claus’s lap; he must’ve inserted feelings into my being or images into my mind. The picture was put in the living room, which I saw when I was like 4 or 5 years old. I had an experience of which they can do, like that one time a very clear picture of Guy Fawke’s mask popped into my head, and my “friend” the next day changed his Facebook picture to a Guy Fawke’s mask. And what’s the term I saw in a physics book? Negative acceleration when a car is going backwards? That makes no sense unless it’s in conflict with the position of either the north or south poles. In programming, putting a negative value on a vehicle will make it go backwards. Is that a way to make me think this is a simulation? Well, now my eyes are sensitive to light. What’s going on here? There is even color symbolism with the p!nk color. Also, my “family” knows what actions I’ll take before it even happens; am I being mind-controlled? Hardcore Weed makes me easily controlled by others. And one time I walked to my “sister’s” room and looked at the mattress, expecting to find something underneath it. I lifted it up and found Playboy magazines at 10 years old; at that time, I had never done drugs. My mom once said, Where’s your Playboy? instead of the word Game Boy, like she knew what I was already doing. I even knew a code for Tetris without having previous knowledge of it. I pressed down A and B and held them down while I turned on the system, waited until the title screen, released the buttons, and it made the game play faster. This is some MK-Ultra crap, is it? It feels like if I hadn’t been brainwashed and terrorized when I was young, I wouldn’t have been a mind-controlled puppet. It feels like time-traveling is in the mix too. I’m pretty sure some people here in the forum know the truth, but it’s better to hide the plans than expose them, is that right? Click

Noob question :)
Hi all
Sorry for the noob question, but where can I find a list of commands to insert into the tracker, for example, to slow down time or jump to a certain pattern, I know they exist but I don’t know what they are called, so doing a search is difficult for me. If you can give me a little push at least to clarify the initial things, thanks in advance.
ps
it will surely be written somewhere in the forum, but since I don’t know the name, I don’t know how to search

Brainstorming how to implement a parallel container mechanism
Maybe the best approach for parallel kind of routing would be to use the current instrument structure. The automation device could be also a generator placeholder, so at this position, the audio was generated. Similar as dragging the generator itself to the position.
Benefits:
- Already accessible thru LUA API, no breaking changes
- Redux wouldn’t be affected, since Redux has no automation device
- We could use the parallel chains in the instrument section for various routings
- The whole VSTi setup would be saveable and easily swappable, for example in multiple projects (e.g. setting up a guitar with proper distortion fx)
- Layering of generators would be possible
- Makes the instrument preset system much more attractive to use
Drawbacks:
- Effect routing is always bound to the instrument
Effort:
- Refactoring of the automation device
- Make midi / pattern input available in each chain of the instrument structure
If you have any ideas how to implement parallel containers from a technical perspective, please continue…

Cannot undo delete sample(s) in Keyzones editor
M1 Macbook Pro Sonoma - Renoise 3.4.3
When working in the sample keyzone editor, I noticed that I was not unable to “undo” deleting samples when focused on the keyzone editor. Attempting to do so yields a message at the bottom of the screen reading “Change PlaybackMode” was undone.
Continuing to hold cmd-z results in the “Nothing to Undo” message (with no prior actions being reversed), even when I have a long history of prior actions. Repressing cmd-z yields the same playbackmode message, with no samples being recovered. Making further changes (i.e. adding to the undo-queue) allows you undo those actions, but this list “stops” at where one has deleted samples in the keyzone editor.
This does not happen if you are on the keyzone tab but focused on the sample list (left hand sidebar). Deleting samples in the sample list and “undoing” behaves normally.
This is unfortunate because I have lost some good takes this way that I can’t recover! I use more caution now, but I don’t believe this is at all intended behavior.
Thanks!

Lost Things - Old/New song
I picked up an old unfinished track from a good few years back and did a new version.
Lyrics were written by my friend Dan McEvoy, the music and ‘singing’ by me. I kept the same simple format of the unfinished version, so there’s not a huge amount of variety…but I still like it.

Very slow processing of DSP on sample
The rendering of sample DSP into waveform is really slow. Track DSP as well.
Takes few seconds for short sample (168 values). Which slows down whole workflow.
Linux with Ryzen 5700G. No VSTs used, only native FX like distortion.
The problem with most recent version (3.4.3), checked 3.4.1 as well - same problem.
I don’t think this is by design, as these sampler FX are played in realtime.
Can you please fix it?

Removing Colored Bars From Pattern Editor
Hi all, first timer here in the Renoise forums. I just dived back into Renoise after a hiatus and just realized something that always bugged me: the grey bar that follows the little orange cursor when moving up and down the pattern editor.
I’m not sure if others have felt the same, but it makes it a lot harder to create patterns. I use the static grey bars to identify quarter notes. Because of the moving grey bar (and that orange one that appears wherever I stopped my last play through), it’s hard to immediately glance and identify a particular given beat because those extra colors act as distractions.
I assume these were added to be helpful (in identifying what row your cursor is in and in identifying where you last stopped the playback). However, I would love to be able to remove them, as that would make Renoise a game changer for me.
I tried looking in the GUI preference section and couldn’t find anything of relevance. Is there a way to turn these colors off, or is this sadly a feature request that I would simply have to hope for?

Instrument Automation Timing Issues - VST Not Reacting Fast Enough?
Hello!
I’m trying to use instrument automation to recreate Elektron style parameter locks with vsts set up as drum synths.
Currently I’m experimenting with Zebra, I have a patch set up with the XY performance parameters mapped to the instrument automation meta device.
The problem I’m facing is that the switch between one parameter value and the next is not instant and has a “shwoopy” effect for lack of a better term. Currently I’m controlling a filter cutoff and if I have two notes that have the same cutoff value, the first one slides into it during the beginning of the note and the second one comes out the way I actually wanted.
I’ve tried putting the parameter value changes in a different column and setting the delay of each column so that the parameters should theoretically change a little bit ahead of the actual note but to no avail. If I put the parameter change a step early it changes the tail end of the preceding note.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this? I’m not the biggest fan of using static samples for percussion and I’m trying to keep myself in the box. I could just use Logic’s Ultrabeat to get a similar effect but programming drums in Renoise feels a million times better.
Thanks!

Recording a slider/knob
Hello
Is there a way to record a sider / knob in automation without midi controller or forcing right mouse button?
Today I made some funny experiment - Line input that goes to singal follower, which controls instrument plugin on second channel and you can move knobs like filter etc. using your own voice.
Is nice, because whole channel with line input / signal follower is muted at the end and the only you can hear is how knobs are moving and changing sound in realtime (filters, eq, detune etc.).
But there is no option to save anywhere renoise sliders movements. It can be done if I’m using MIDI, but not when they move using singal follower or other internal effect. Or maybe there is some possibility to record knob/slider parameter without MIDI or right mouse button interaction?

Plans for Renoise?
Hi there… really love Renoise… bought a licence in 2011 and it’s the best money i’ve ever spent.
Can we expect some updates in the future besides to only bugfix updates?
Would really like to know what to expect.
Thanks, and keep up the good work Renoise dev team!

Troubles linking VST to Midi Controller
Hello!
I normally just right click on a VST knob/slider and get a “Midi Learn” option… (for instance on a Reaktor VST)
But i cant seen to link to my M-32 Controller on any of the new Beatsurfing VSTs I purchased. Nor are they showing yup in the Instrument Properties… any suggestions??

Solfege notation instead of CDEFGAB notation
This might go more towards tools but,
Extremely silly question, but would there be a possibility of making a tool that rewrites the note notation to Solfege notation (do-re-mi notation)
Would be pretty funny but kinda cool too imo
Solfège - Wikipedia.
Here’s a crappy mockup of what I mean hahaha
Realistically, it’s nonsensical, but for those in LatAm or outside of the West who have made music with Solfege notation, would this be interesting or tacky?
Feel free to delete if not allowed
Happy New year.

Master Pitch Tuning
I’m not one of those 432 khz people or whatever it is but is there a control somewhere in Renoise to pitch all the sound down??If not, what would be the best way to do this?No plugins or anything as i want all the transients and such relatively unaffected.

Is this where a user could request a tool to be written?
Hello and greetings,
I would like a tool that transposes all existing phrases in a project in real time, while a pattern plays/loops, according to keys pressed on an external midi keyboard.
So, a sort of global phrase transposer.
Thanks, I would be happy to pay for this.

Not a specific RENOISE tip and trick but just an hour of Inspiration
I think, many of us feel like they are trapped in the technical aspect of music production. We know everything about EQ, Reverb, Mastering, Mixing and choosing the right plugins. But when writing music on a DAW you sometimes forget what music is all about: Creativity and emotions. That’s why I liked this conversation by successfull songwriters.

Global phrase transposer tool?
is there a tool or process for transposing all instrument phrases at once?
my aim is to have a simple loop playing but to be able to transpose all the instruments in real time using a master midi keyboard so I can experiment with chord changes, etc.
is this a rtfm situation?
thanks

Any tips for a small (digital) mixer?
I do all my song mixing in the computer and have had the same cheap behringer 2 stereo, 4 mono channel mixer since the early 2000’s and am thinking about an upgrade. Basically looking for a similar 2 stereo channel mixer for hooking up my computer, monitor speakers & headphones, so I can use this old one somewhere else.
Any tips on brands with good price to quality ratio? Everyone shitting on behringer, this one still works, but perhaps there are beter options out there right now?
As my soundcard has been acting up lately, perhaps these digital mixers that also act as a soundcard are worth investigating? Anyone here have experience with the mixer/soundcard options?
Currently reading through; Best home studio mixers 2023: analogue and digital options | MusicRadar
This one has caught my eye (Allen & Heath ZEDi 10FX);
Anyone have experience with the zedi in Renoise, I wonder how recording the mixer inputs through usb works. I figure any of the channels on the mixers have digital equivalents which can be chosen in Renoise recording window, but you can only record 1 channel at a time?
