Key press immediately after PLAY is often ignored

February 3, 2025 - 14:01

Try this:
Press PLAY on your pc/mac keyboard and immediately after press STOP, if it does stop then repeat and eventually it won’t register your keypress and keeps playing.

BPM 125. LPB 8. This issue happens until line 3.

I often start playing a pattern and immediately jam a melody on the computer keyboard, but it’s like there’s a variable delay that has to be run in order for the next key to be registered.

I am creating a new thread because I feel it’s just slipping under the radar for over 10 years
Adjusting the attack phase with the slightest amount of 0.1 ms ,significantly alters the modulation Initial amount (shown by green line ) .
I would like to see this fixed over anything else in renoise .

Replace decrease/increase pattern number shortcut for faster navigation

February 2, 2025 - 16:05

Ctrl + updown is used to navigate sequencer vertically and I thought I’d be cool to not having to double click each slot in the matrix or moving to tab key.

I don’t like the default ctrl + left right to decrease/increase pattern number when editor is focused as I like having sight of all my patterns and sometimes I toggle unintentially, and it’s just a click in the sequencer anyway. I remapped tab and shift tab and woaa!

Neural Amp Modeler VST3 Support

February 1, 2025 - 20:03

Hi there, curious if anyone has used or might have some insight as to how to get this VST3 to be recognized in renoise. I have the latest version of the application. Other VST3 in the default folder are recognized and can load properly but this one is not even seen. Is this a limitation caused by how the vst was developed or is there something I can do on my end to get this working?

Best way to loop whole pattern when being in Pattern Editor

February 1, 2025 - 16:32

I’m very often looping a whole pattern and I want to activate the looping while being in the Pattern Editor. Usually I use the mouse to activate the loop in the Pattern Sequencer. Is there a better way to do this while being in the Pattern Editor. “Block Loop” only loop 1/2 of the pattern.

Phrases Key Tracking confusion

January 31, 2025 - 16:34

Not sure if this is a bug or expected behaviour (that I’m missunderstanding).

Process:

  • load a sample (three piano notes ascending sequentialy, starting at C)
  • slice the notes
  • render to phrase
  • in the phrase editor
    • select “Keymap”
    • drag phrase onto the keyboard and spresd across c4 to c5
    • set “Key Tracking” to “transpose”

(my) expected behaviour: in the main sequencer the prase should change the pitch of all slices as it progresses through the phrase (c-400, d-400 etc…)

The result is more like what I’d expect from “offset” the phrase plays from the position that corresponds to the key.

Attached an example:

Using a midi controller to make renoise function like a groovebox

January 31, 2025 - 09:57

I would like to use my launchkey to control the pattern peogramming functions of renoise.

I would like to be able to push a pad to select its corresponding step in renoise and then press some keys to input the notes and velocity into said step .

Also i would like yo have some kind of midi feedback so i can see which steps contain notes and whcih ones dont.

I thought of asking before embarking into it.

Im ok with lua. And i would appreciate any input.

Thanls in advance.

Add/remove note/effect columns key commands

January 31, 2025 - 09:47

If you use CTRL SHIFT Right or CTRL SHIFT Left commands, they only serve to open/close the 12 note columns. But it doesn’t work for effect columns, since they are already in use.

Perhaps to open/close the 8 effect columns, the command CTRL SHIFT ALT Right, CTRL SHIFT ALT Left should be used…

In any case, the same commands cannot be used for both!

Adjust click area of plugin window buttons (MacOS)

January 31, 2025 - 08:34

On MacOS the click area on the red, yellow, and green buttons in the top-left corner of every plugin window should be moved 3 pixels down.

While this seem minuscule it’s a relatively large difference.

Arpeggiated notes comply to Scale

January 30, 2025 - 23:50

The notes from the arpeggiate-command, (A47) for example, do not change when a certain scale is selected in the Instrument.
So if you have a phrase with C-A47 and set it to C-Major you can’t play A#, but if you play A you still get A-Major and not A-Minor. (Because the Arpeggiated command does not adjust to A37, etc.)

Hope this helps, cheers.

Renoise V3.0 = LUA API Version 4 Lua API version 3 to 4 changes - Renoise 3

Renoise V3.1 = LUA API Version 5 Renoise 3.1: Changes from Lua API version 4 to 5

Renoise V3.2 = LUA API Version 6 ► Lua API version 5 to 6 changes - Renoise 3.2

Renoise V3.?? = LUA API Version 6.1 ✒ Lua API version 6 to 6.1 changes

i found this kinda stuff but so what’s the version for lua api v6.1?

what is lua api version 2? where did lua api version 3 come from, what version is that for?
etc.

MIDI Preset Not Loading Correctly After Reloading a Renoise Project

January 30, 2025 - 00:03

Hi everyone,

I used Renoise about 15 years ago and have some experience with tracking modules, but I recently purchased Renoise and want to dive back into making music - this time using some external (and analog) gear. While setting things up, I ran into an issue with MIDI presets not being recalled properly after reloading a project.

I’m using an external hardware MIDI box that has a lot of MIDI in and MIDI out channels. I don’t think this is the issue, since everything works fine while setting up and playing notes - Renoise is clearly sending and receiving MIDI messages correctly during creation.

The problem occurs after saving and reopening the project. For example, if I set an instrument to MIDI Channel 4 and configure the MIDI Transmit settings with Bank 1 and Preset 21, the preset doesn’t play correctly upon reloading. The MIDI channel appears correct, but the preset isn’t properly recalled.

Through some experimentation, I found that if I manually adjust the preset - by clicking the back arrow (changing it to 20) and then forward again (back to 21) - it suddenly works. This suggests that Renoise isn’t correctly sending the preset change upon loading the project, but manually adjusting it forces the correct preset to be sent.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround to ensure Renoise properly sends the correct preset upon project load?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Sample Editor waveform does not update if modifying original sample while viewing slice

January 28, 2025 - 22:04

Steps to replicate:

  1. Open Sample Editor
  2. Have a Sample there that is Sliced
  3. Be in the Slice - viewing the Slice
  4. Run a script that modifies the original sample. (with prepare + finalize included, of course)

Expected: After modifying the original sample, the slice waveform is updated.
Currently: After modifying the original sample, the slice waveform is not updated. it requires me to go to a previous slice and return to the original slice, to see the waveform update.

A question about something samples in a track

January 28, 2025 - 21:50

good evening .

I have a question, I am tinkering with a song, I have extra tracks, and now my question is the samples at once from where it comes from, so you know where it comes from at the top right of the screen you see the red line, I hope you understand me, because I am converting it to 5.1 and 5.1 copy over 6 tracks, and that with that oactave (sample 0E call everything like that at once, for example by selecting and clicking somewhere press?

Seemingly random Renoise crashes on Windows 10

January 28, 2025 - 08:39

This is a symptom thats hard to describe.
Now I’ve owned Renoise for a couple of years, but since around version 3.3 it sometimes tends to act weirdly, no matter what machine, no matter what version or health of Windows I use it on.

It crashes to desktop every so often with absolutely no apparent reason. Mostly on loading another song after working on the current one, more rarely on loading an effect (using only native), or changing views.

My Windows version: 10.019045 Build 19045
CPU: Intel i5-4670K @3.40 GHz 4 Cores
Motherboard: Asus Z87 Extreme 3, Bios version P2.80 3/11/2018 (latest stable, afaik)
RAM 4x8 of Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8 GB DIMM 1333 MHz

I use a TASCAM US 20/20 audio card.
Renoise 64 bit v3.3.4 of May 4 2024
Renoise is set to always run as Administrator, with all VST’s and other folders with proper r/w permissions.

I only use native Renoise plugins, and if any other, only from Analog Obsessions legally free VST’s, but these bugs do happen even if only using the native ones.

Symptoms:

  • Renoise will never write the state of Last Saved, Last Loaded, or presets for any windows or editor views/states. It randomly crashes:
    most frequently
  • on loading another song after having worked on one. It will close the current one, and crash to desktop. (most frequent, likely in every 30 minutes or so.)

can also crash

  • on selecting a new Effect from the effect menu, adding a track, changing from one view to another. (Less frequent, can work even an hour or so, if the above didn’t happen)

All other applications work OK, there are no cracked apps or software on the machine.

Attached is:

  • log.txt: a recent crash log, a screenshot of tools installed, though these crashes happen even on a clean Windows machine, having installed all official system updates, system drivers and inf’s, and audio drivers. with a clean slate Renoise version, with no tools or any add-ons.

  • a “Report.wer” application crash log (renamed to .txt) from system folder called “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\AppCrash_Renoise.exe_121c384fc72233f296855a216fbfec7fe477cfaf_7ff3c4f3_f8ed9f1b-20c6-42bf-a866-b8470095b69a” - though not recent, but fairly from the time it already did this last year.

  • a screenshot of installed 3rd party Renoise tools

    Report.txt (17.3 KB)

I hope its exhaustive enough.
Thank you for anyone having a look - it would lighten up my life so much if I could properly work with Renoise- thats why I put the effort into this report.

Thanks!
