Renoise Forum

Why is there no functional means to setup an external FX send/return pathway in Renoise? I’m genuinely frustrated to no end by this omission. I’ve used multiple other DAWs – Ableton, Bitwig, Logic, Reaper – which all have a native send/return insert device with latency compensation automatically handled, but Renoise has no such device.

I’m aware of how to set up a send channel in Renoise routed to the appropriate output on my interface, and an accompanying return channel with Line Input, but there is no way to compensate for the round-trip latency without manually adding a time delay plugin (e.g. Voxengo) to every single other channel. Track delays on the source & return track can be pushed into the negative enough to start to close the latency gap, but never 100%. And even if that worked, it would not enable external FX as inserts e.g. on the master channel.

I’d genuinely pay the license fee again to have this basic feature in Renoise. I don’t have a big hardware studio, but I do have a few high-quality pieces of outboard which are important to my sound and desired workflow. Will this ever be implemented?

I am trying to get renoise to work properly with pipewire. Currently the only way I can get audio to work in renoise is by using ALSA audio, which takes full priority over audio, meaning I cannot get audio from anything else on my PC while Renoise is running. I am able to use Bitwig perfectly by running as pulse audio, but there is no option for this in Renoise. Has anyone succesfully used pipewire with Renoise before? How would I go about setting this up?

Maybe in distant future, it would be a good idea to integrate Protoplug (LUA audio processing) into a native Renoise device. Protoplug is opensource and licensed with MIT, so this should be possible. The last available version suffered from native ARM support, but already uses LUA-Jit. Some people already did some research work. Might be a no brainer for developers which are very familiar integrating LUA.

Best approach actually might be the integration into the existing formula device, now providing meta and audio I/O at the same time, doing custom compressors, manglers, stranglers and what not. Next level stuff. Also very interesting for education purposes and a distant Redux FX.

A “proper” editor support then inside the formula device (i.e. support for separate script files, but somewhat saved inside the xrns) seems to be mandatory then.

I saw in search results that it was mentioned many times (and even ~decade ago), so it may be repetitive feature request now. But it would be cool to have an option to save preset of phrase bank, because sometimes the bank is large in amount of phrases and when you want to change instrument sound only it is a little pain to upload each individual phrase into its bank back.

Thank you.

It seems i cannot find it, pressing spacebar only restart the pattern from the beginning, and play current line (return) will just play the line and not resume playback. Could be useful, especially with autoseek samples

i have been using x[Knob] for easier findability for what feels like years.

unfortunately, i cannot see any of the results anymore because x[ cannot be searched for.

could this be addressed in a future update?

i.e. i’d expect to be able to find these:

but no luck.

Renoise have very nice LFO. Unlike many other DAWs, you can use points instead of lines, which is cool.
Problem is that points works the same as lines mode. If you trigger second LFO reset by first LFO points, it supposed to trigger that reset only at the moment when the point value is and do not trigger it between. Unfortunately - it triggers reset all the time, so second LFO is not moving then.

Description:

PrevTrack, NextTrack, and PlayPause keypresses elicit no response from Renoise in Ubuntu Studio.

Steps to reproduce look like this:

In Windows, bind Global>Transport>Pause/Continue (from cursor) to “PlayPause”
Export keybinds.xml file
Import keybinds.xml file to your Ubuntu Studio copy of Renoise using a thumb drive
Launch Renoise in Ubuntu Studio
Press “PlayPause”

Expected results:

The default song is played.

Actual results:

The playhead does not move.

The same goes for PrevTrack and NextTrack, which I have bound to Pattern Editor>Navigation>Jump to First/Last Row, respectively.

I can’t rebind anything to those multimedia keys in my Linux copy of Renoise or get any sign that the program is hearing the keypresses, whether I check “Override window manager shortcuts” or not.

The multimedia keys work as expected in VLC Media Player and Firefox, playing, pausing, and skipping through playlists.

I’m running Renoise 3.4 in Ubuntu Studio 24.10 on an Acer Nitro 17. I imported my keybinds (and my user library, etc) from Windows 11. Below are my media key shortcut settings in Ubuntu Studio (defaults). New linux user here, so be gentle!

Reaper sees Tyrell, but Resoise does not. Any advice?

The analyzer in Renoise works quite nicely while using it at 48kHz sample rate. Here is a shot:

But if you switch to 96kHz, now the low bass area seems to be flawed. Same song, similar area:

It’s like there is no analysis below 43,50 Hz anymore…

I also like the speed of the peak fall much much at 96kHz, maybe 48kHz could be the same?

Renoise version 3.4.4 is not quite functional in cooperation with VST3 Omnisphere II, from Spectrasonic. It does not work in automation import, nor does editing the name of the effect specified in automation. Which is a great pity. I contacted both parties, both Spectrasonic, which provided its Omnisphere II software set, and Renoise programmers. The answer was that it will work in the next update. I’ve been waiting for a year now, no feedback from Renoise yet.

Good evening people, I played a melody in a track. and I have a creative soundblaster AE-5 Plus, and the program asio4all with which I can also switch from master to other 5.1 speakers in Renoise Tracks when Routing, you have Master, Front L/R
, Rear LR and Center/Sub, now I come back to the one melody that I played and recorded, if I select that to another track, for example Front/L, I could then select all the notes at once and then make another sample, because as far as I know a sample cannot be used at the same time in 5 speakers and a subwoofer, is there a possibility in Renoise to record an entire song, for example what I have played, in a few steps with click 5.1 speaker set can make, I really hope to know a possibility, with making this intention,

Might be useful, if the sample editor had an additional toggle button for recording the live output of the master.

Perhaps it would be good if the sample editor also displayed the volume in dB, based on the y-position of the mouse cursor on the sample, right next to here:

The x-position could be displayed all the time, too.

This command doesn’t have a ton of documentation. Trying it out in Renoise, increasing values appear to start playing the sound ‘later’ into the envelope. So if the sound has a long attack, you can bypass it by using, say, E20, to start at the highest part of the envelope and bypass the ‘sloping up’ part. But a few things I’m unsure of.

1. How is the envelope divided up when using these command effects? Does E10 always play a particular part of the envelope, for example, or perhaps it’s always ‘slice’ 16/256? Is there a way to always hit the top of the attack?

2. Any plans to fix the playhead?The playhead visually always starts at the beginning of the envelope no matter what, so even though (for example) EC0 sounds like it immediately starts in the sustain portion of the envelope, the playhead cycles over the entire ADHSR curve.

Hello, I am currently trying to find ways to create small looping chops in rhythm with the song’s BPM, and I struggle with the ergonomy of it.

My current method to create a triplet loop from a long sample is the following:

1. set LPB to 3
2. in the waveform tab, set the bottom scale to “beats”
3. manually select a chunk as close as “1.1.1” as possible
4. manually put slice or loop markers on your selection, or right click > copy to new sample / instrument
5. set the LPB back to 4

step 4 can be finicky since any misclick makes you lose your selection and you have to start over from step 3.

Do you know a way to snap slice / loop markers to selection, or to show the position of slice / loop markers at the bottom of the waveform tab the same way the position of the current selection is shown?

I would love if there was a highlight lines command!
If not maybe the ability to automate the highlighted lines…

It would be super cool to have ability to reorder knobs via drag’n’drop in Doofer.

Sometimes I have to assign knobs from scratch (instead just to move some of them to keep customized and logical order for automation commands like 11xx, 12xx, 13xx, 1nxx).

Thank you.
