Renoise Forum

Hello, friends! Hope you’re all doing great.

In 2021, @AmaneOG + @Cubeinthebox and other few friends started a Discord server called “Renoise Breakcore”.

The server kept growing until, two years later (2023), we managed to organize a 15 track compilation (with over 40 submissions): Trackercorps Vol. 1

Now, after months of thought and a short rest, we decided to broaden up the server theme to include other trackers and music genres aside from Renoise and Breakcore. In other words, we’re now officially TRACKERCORPS.

The main goal of the community is to gather tracker aficionados in a friendly atmosphere, focusing on collaborative efforts:

• teaching and learning tracker and dsp techniques;
• running compilations and competitions;
• making collabs;
• exchanging mods and other files (samples, instruments, presets, etc);
• discussing other interests, such as films, books, series, games, etc.

We also have an under-construction database of tracker related content, including sample packs, tips and tricks, etc (just ask).

If you’re chill and interested in being part of our community, feel free to follow the invite link:

TRACKERCORPS: home of tracker music nerds and breakbeat chopping weirdos! | 223 members

By the way, we’re already planning Trackercorps Vol. 2 compilation.
Stay tuned (submissions NOT open yet). More info in this topic soon!

Disclaimer:
This is a very diverse server, with all kinds of people from different corners of the world, so avoid politics and other polemic/controversial topics, please! That said, we do not tolerate racism, homophobia or any other discrimination. Be nice to others, promote peace, discuss music and make some noise!

A stand-alone BPM tool I made.

Type in Ceiling Percentage of Desired Tempo Speed (25.000-97.5%)
Then it will show the results of base BPM for 4 lines per beat, next it will show also, Low-Mid BPM, Mid BPM and Max BPM related to the base BPM. Then it will tell you if you want to restart the process or quit. The source code is included and an executable for Linux. It’s just a simple calculator. I wish I knew the importance of Tempo sooner because I was always listening to Speedcore/Splitter/Extratone, but then I grew out of it and could actually FEEL music music that’s not too fast. 62.5 - 243.75 BPM is the minimum and max it will find.

As it seems like Duplex and GridPie are no longer maintained, I wanted to find a way to do live sequencing with no reliance on tools or scripts. What I came up with:

• Create a single, looped pattern, representing a 4 or 8 bar block, with a single note-on right at the top of each track (one per instrument)
• Create the actual sequences you want as 4 or 8 bar phrases within each instrument
• Set all instruments to program mode in the phrase controls
• In every instrument, include a “mute” phrase consisting of just a note off in every column

Press play, and use MIDI or OSC program change messages to change the active phrase for each instrument, and every time the pattern loops, all the currently active phrases will trigger, giving you live, synchronised sequence switching. Make sure you turn off autoseek inside each phrase, to stop it switching sequences mid-pattern as soon as you send a program change. Switch to the “mute pattern” for synchronised mutes; for instant mutes use OSC track mute messages or map MIDI CCs to the the track mute buttons (with Renoise in its default “soft mute” mode, this will mute by sending note off to all notes in a track, rather than immediately silencing it).

If you know how a Keystep sequencer works, the end result kind of behaves like that, just without pattern chaining abilities (you can only set the next active phrase, not queue up multiple phrases; though you could combine this technique with OSC pattern sequence messages if you want to get advanced).

I used TouchOSC on a Raspberry Pi to drive percussion and strings for this track using this technique. You can see it on screen in the second video (use chapters to skip to it).

Hello guys,

I start making some tools for fun and why not

Me and my friends are tested , so its work flawless for now.
It is a visual toolbar like in Reaper. But im not a programmer scripter, so i have some problems with my features to deal with. Maybe someone can help me a little if you have some time.

First i realise there is no way to use colored button images. Right ? its always based on the Theme colors.
I want the rollover state to be colored images. Thats looks awesome. Or maybe colored version all the time.
Is there any trick that can help me about that ? Maybe a bitmap and a button in overlay with alpha…

Another thin is is i can’t resize the Button images to fit smaller or bigger sizes. it would be awesome i can do that for smaller screen users.
here is the Tool itself so you can check them out., happy using…

com.hotelsinus.VisualToolbarNativeDSP_V1.xrnx (144.7 KB)

I also made a VST effect version, and Instrument versions. So its three Visual Browser, but the VST version is need to setup by users… but maybe i can create a workaround for that… but its too hard coz every artist has its own VST as u know…

Thank you for your time
have a Good ReNoisey day…

Hi - I read on this site that the Stream Deck does not work with Renoise (normal keypresses are reported as not being recognised)

I am thinking as an alternative solution, rather than sending keypresses, maybe send midi commands?

Perhaps Trevliga Spel’s free Stream Deck plugin could be setup to send the appropriate MIDI command instead via a custom profile? It looks very capable. Any Stream Deck users out there - would this work in theory, or has it been solved already?

Not exactly sure what I was doing, I tried processing a 1 minute sample in the sample editor using the fx button, Then previewed another model on top of the result if I remember correctly. It isn’t the latest version though, so I’ll try installing it and see if I can replicate (windows 10).

It seems after version 3.1 or so this tool no longer works. It’s incredible useful and I’m disheartened by the fact it doesn’t function anymore. Would love it if the original author bleego or someone else could get this working. It’s above my programming knowledge, which is pretty much none. HAHA

Hello,
Is it possible to somehow set an event that uses ‘tooltip’?
That is, if the mouse is over the widget, it creates a notifier.
Thanks

I’m dabbling with a Duplex integration for Allan & Heath Qu series mixers, but not making too much progress so far. I’ve no prior MIDI protocol knowledge so it’s a bit of learning curve

Firstly,
I typed out a whole load of stuff for my first question but I’ve rubber ducked that one (Need to generate the NRPN with (MSB<<7 | LSB) rather than <<8 by the looks of it.

Secondly,
The fader value is just a 0-127 in the data MSB, and the LSB is always 0. Is there currently a way to configure such a thing on a control. If I set mode abs_7 it will just send the MSB and no LSB packet. Else I may need to add a new PARAM_MODE to Duplex.

thanks

Alpha Juno What The v0_5.xrni (16.0 KB)

Roland Alpha Juno “What The?” patch, created by me.

8 Macro controls, wish we had more macro slots, but here we are. “PWM” rate and Depth, Pitch bend decay timing, Amp Env Attack, Combined Decay/Release, Sustain, HPF and Chorus Depth/Feedback. Set to mono with a slow glide time (change glide time from G01 which is VERY slow, to GFF which is instant in the instrument, next to where Mono button is, I’ve set it to G20) however I’m not sure how to recreate the mono legato style playback when playing the keys to the pattern editor, except to use lots of Gxx commands to glide to note - if anyone could help that would be good.

Included is a sub-osc square wave set to minus 24 Semitones.

Sounds sort-of, kind-of like it to me - to say we can’t PWM in the sampler in my humble opinion. Use a base to improve by all means, would be keen to see what people make with it.

Hi there,

i need to control multiple vst parameters at the same time with just one knob/macro in Renoise (im talking software only, no midi controller here), then i’ll automate this single knob.
I guess i have to use a combination of “instruments macros” and “instruments automation” but i cannot figure how to do it…
Thanks for your help !

Cheers

Hello brand new Renoise user here

I’m using X00 in a Send track. I was hoping it would stop the FX (in my case clear a reverb tail) but it’s not doing anything.

In this tutorial, the guy says to add the command to the “master effects column” but it’s unclear to me as a beginner if Send tracks even have a master effects column…

Effect Commands Part 7 - Panning & Other

Is there a way to stop effects on Send tracks? I know I can disable the effects, and the re-enable them, but I was hoping I could just leave them active on Send tracks, and just stop them when needed, to save a bit of fiddling about.

Cheers in advance

I have 2 year old Asus ROG gamer lappy, i7 with maxed out RAM. I realized the times I’ve tried to write or even play songs when it’s not plugged in (you know on flights or just wanting to be outside), Renoise playback stops and says CPU maxed out within seconds. Sometimes it will last a bit, but sound will start breaking up and playback usually always crashes. I was sad to see this would happen even on say, a very minimum project with only just one or two VSTi synths running such as an Arturia synth or NI Massive or something. Power profile allegedly is still on performance, but it’s responding vastly different.

Any thoughts? Insights? Insults?
