Released my first VST3 plugin / beta testers needed

January 23, 2023 - 00:02

Hi all!

Just released my first plugin, and since I’m mostly a Renoise user, and all of the demo material is in Renoise format, I thought I’d post it here. I’d be very grateful if anyone of you would be willing to test the plugin, just let me know all the wrinkles I’d have to fix. The project’s over here: GitHub - sjoerdvankreel/seven: An open source VST3 synthesizer and effect plugin.. Just to get an idea of what it can do, the demo track is made using only Renoise and this plugin, no external stuff required: seven/the_demo_track.mp3 at master · sjoerdvankreel/seven · GitHub or https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sjoerdvankreel/seven/master/render/the_demo_track.mp3.
I hope you’ll find it useful.

-regards, Sjoerd

Auto Gain enable for *.xm, *.it, *.mod

January 21, 2023 - 09:30

When I open a tracker file like *.xm, *.it, *.mod etc.
Is there any way to enable Auto Gain automatically?
As it is, the playback sound clips.

I have set and saved the auto-gain in Template Song, but it does not seem to be reflected in this case.
I could not find the relevant key bind target or Renoise Tool.

Preview notes when using commands

January 20, 2023 - 01:10

As I understood when using commands like (Reverse and Sample offset) there is no way to hear those effects combined with the notes when playing them by keyboard , other than playing the pattern .anyway to fix this ?

Reverse sample offset when using the reverse sample command?

January 19, 2023 - 19:34

Whenever I use the sample offset command (-S XX) while using the reverse command (-B or -B 00), why not have it so that the sample offset goes in reverse (from FF to 00) instead of treating it like it’s a different sample and have it from 00 to FF like it was going forwards?

It would be much more intuitive to have it like that because when you look in the sample editor while playing, the cursor position for the sample indicates the position of the sample offset command and when it was playing backwards, you see the markers stay the same. It would make more precise editing with the samples involving the reverse sample command a lot more easier than to guess where it’s going to be in reverse yourself or try to do some hexadecimal calculation.

If this way does get implemented and if there are some people who are used to this way of reversing samples or prefer it that way, maybe have an option so that it can be reverted to the classic way of dealing with sample offsets with the reverse command? I don’t know if there are people who got used to it this way and prefer it. Maybe it would certainly be helpful for better compatibility with older songs where if a newer version of Renoise implements the new way of dealing with sample offset and reverse sample commands, if it opens the song from the older version, it would have it set so that classic option in the song options for it so it doesn’t mess the song up if it uses the reverse and sample offset command at the same time.

Slow IDM/Breakcore, with Full XRNS

January 19, 2023 - 01:11

Hi All,

I go by the name of Felix Helix, and this is the most recent track I made, called Template 2.

I work mostly in Renoise, mixing and mastering in REAPER. Have done for years now.

I thought it would be interesting for the forum, because the XRNS prior to mixdown in reaper hasn’t got any VST instruments in it.

XRNS is here: WeTransfer - Send Large Files & Share Photos Online - Up to 2GB Free

The final product is here: Felix Helix- Template 2 - YouTube

Let me know what you think!

Neurodiversity, option-paralysis & procrastination (Personal post - seeking some wisdom - LONG POST)

January 18, 2023 - 22:35

Hello gang.

Personal post, I don’t really have too many friends - those I do have probably don’t have time or the inclination to hear me ramble on. Of course, nobody here might either - but at least anonymously through the screen I don’t need to see the boredom, or worse - pity, in people’s eyes.

I might be autistic, I’ve had a proper assessment via my employer - waiting for the NHS (UK resident here, the wait times are insane) to do the same tests etc. Of a possible “score” of 45/50 for likeliness of Autism Spectrum Disorder following interview. At almost 40 years old, it’s a little late in the day but explains a lot. I’m definitely Borderline Personality Disorder. Chronic depressive and anxiety sufferer.

I procrastinate a lot. Like, a lot. When I am presented with myriad options, my brain seizes up into paralysis and I just default to comforting activities or I shut down and stare at the wall until things settle down. I am also horrendous with money and I am in a good old chunk of debt. Close to £30k. I have nothing to show for it. I am very prone to deep obsessions and with a good credit rating, I buy things I don’t need to “participate” in said interests. I buy things, sell them for a loss, buy them again, sell for a loss, buy them again etc. The pattern extends, of course, to Audio software. I currently own three DAWs, I just bought Bitwig on credit. I haven’t even started to use it, like I’ve installed it and configured the audio and plugin paths - listened to a demo project.

I have already listed it on eBay.

Since May 2020 when I made the decision to get into this all again, I’ve owned Bitwig twice (third time now), Renoise twice, Reason 12 three times, Cubase twice, Reaper and Studio One once. This is just one hobby I treat like this. When it comes to consoles and console gaming, the pattern is identical. This is a deep shame.

I have been flipping between Windows 11 and Linux - no lie, in the last week I have wiped my system, installed Manjaro, set it all up, installed a VM, created a Windows 10 VM and created a bootable W11 memory stick, moved back to windows, set everything up and then wiped it, installed Manjaro… no lie 5 times. Since the start of THIS year I have done this 10 or 11 times. I’ve destroyed all my memory sticks, ordered new ones, done the cycle, had to explain all the memory sticks to my wife (lol) asked her to hide it - then in secret scoured the house and done the cycle anew. I’m on my 5th PC case of the last 6 months, chasing quite what I do not know, I just keep buying them to “upgrade”.

I have also got a bit paranoid about privacy, I’ve thrown money away by developing a sudden hatred of DRM like iLok - so I contacted all the companies whose software I have bought and insisted that they delete my accounts and licences. My £99 copy of Decapitator? Gone. A few Softube, Izotope plugins - like dust in the winds of history. I sent an awful email to iLok and now that account itself and all licences are gone. The privacy concerns drive me off Windows (even though it works wonderfully for me) and to Linux. I feel out of my depth with Linux and so back to Windows I go.

I’m pretty broken mentally right now. Signed off sick from work. Adrift in the limbo of the health system. My physical health is similarly poor, flared right up by the mental health - fibromyalgia (chronic joint pain, fatigue, memory issues etc.) - so it’s a shitty loop.

This is all so way off topic, what began as an idea to try to reduce option paralysis has devolved into an outpouring of mental shit. I had intended to narrow the option paralysis by seeking advice re: the best DAW to keep out of the options at hand. Maybe just give away my copy of Renoise to somebody for the hell of it, except the cycle of trying to discipline myself through harming myself financially as a deterrent hasn’t ever worked. I can’t hold myself accountable at all. When I came back to making music as a therapeutic solution to long, long-standing mental health issues it was supposed to be breezy and light and a creative outlet. Like so many hobbies, I have ruined it.

I should probably post this on a Neurodiversity support forum, but without a “formal” diagnosis I feel like a fraud - the impostor syndrome is real and I’d worry about being judged for the excessive nerdiness of my current manifestations of this issue.

I should probably delete this. Or ask the mods to permaban me for the shame of it. What the fuck am I even doing.

Time to install Manjaro (again).

OSC support for Pitchbend, Modulation, Channel Pressure macros?

January 18, 2023 - 19:16

I find it very convenient to set instrument macros via OSC using the paths in the form of /renoise/song/instrument/-1/macro1, and the 8 normal macros work with macro1-8 paths.

Is it possible in Renoise to set Pitchbend, Modulation, Channel Pressure macros via OSC as well?

Single wav into different scales of the same length

January 18, 2023 - 16:56

I want to create instruments of the same length with different scales.
How can I do this?
I read through the sampler section of the manual but could not figure it out, perhaps because of my poor reading comprehension.

[BUG] renoise.song():render() does not allow to render a pattern of a single line

January 18, 2023 - 14:17

With renoise.song():render() an unwanted situation occurs. Forces the start of pos line number to be less than the end of pos line number. This restriction causes that it is not possible to render a single line pattern, because the number_of_lines of the pattern is 1 (pattern_length), which coincides with the minimum number, therefore it cannot be less.

*** std::logic_error: 'invalid start_pos or end_pos 'line'. line must be [1 - pattern_length].' *** std::logic_error: 'invalid 'song_start' or 'song_end' render option. expected start_pos < end_pos.'

The possible solution would be for the condition to be less than or equal to startpos.line and endpos.line.

Renoise’s “Render Song To Disk” does allow rendering in this case, with “Save each pattern into a separate file”. It seems to be an API issue.

Renoise save file has no sound

January 18, 2023 - 08:44

hey guys, i just reinstalled windows and im trying to open a project i have saved on my hard drive, when i open it there is no sound at all, even when i try to preview samples there is no sound, all the mixer channels are on and when i start a brand new project the sound works no problem, any help?

update, seems changing every channel from master to primary sound driver makes it work, odd
not really a solution though because now the master channel has no control

I am unable to click drop down menus and right click in Redux

January 17, 2023 - 22:55

I have a weird problem: I will be using redux without any issues when all of a sudden none of the drop down menus will drop down when I click them. I also am unable to right click anything. So I can’t destructively render a sample, duplicate a phrase, change the mod and fx sets etc etc. The problem goes away eventually but I have not found any specific action I can take to fix it, it ends as mysteriously as it begins. this happens almost every time I use the plug in, and it really messes up my flow. Anyone else had this happen? Anything I can do? I am using redux in reaper, on a dell laptop running windows 11.
Thanks in advance!

Mosquito madnessss

January 17, 2023 - 05:28

Hello old and new friends, nice to see you still rocking with this amazing piece of software. Its been a while since i made some songs and shared with people so i decided to put together some of the stuff i´ve been working on and show it to you. This one is a bit noisy, a questionable mixing, also has some beatles samples and it´s constructed around some chops of an old brazilian singer called “isaura garcia” (heavily distorted of course), the song is entirely made in renoise. I intend to be more active from now on because i feel it is something thats lacking in my life and it used to bring me so much joy. hope you can enjoy it as it is. Anyway, im planning some more by the end of the week. hasta la future comrades!!!

Phil Collins drum sound.. but not in the air tonight

January 16, 2023 - 19:38

everybody automatically thinks of that sick drum fill from in the air tonight

but I’ve been obsessed with mimicing the sound from this song [Robert Plant - In the Mood (Official Video) [HD REMASTERED] - YouTube] using Martblek almost drums tool.

It’s great, I love it.

such a rich and dynamic snare sound and the finality of the kick is inexorable.

Here is my attempt… I blended in some r8 samples into the snare, too.
mood for a melody d.a.m.a.g.e…xrns (1.8 MB)

any thoughts on setting up DSP chains that would react to velocity sensitivity? I suppose with gates?
