Hi! I just wanna recommend a VST that still is unknown to most people:

Parawave Rapid is a beast of a synthesizer. I use it several years now. It’s a very versatile synth with a big bunch of awesome features.
In my opinion it’s better than Pigments, Massive X, Vital, Avenger 2, Serum, etc. I even would say better than Serum 2 because you can do things in Rapid that are not possible in Serum/Serum 2.
It’s even 8x multitimbral and very CPU friendly.

This VST is still quite unknown because the manufacturers don’t have good marketing strategies and do not advertise it much. But it’s one of the best VST synths i ever used. It’s even my go to synth for a long time now.

Hi,
is there a possibility of improving the following feature

~in following scenario:
having reverb tail cutoffs cause clicks and pops (messing with the plugin preference didn’t improve too much). Only mpreverb does not introduce clicks and pops when used.

Can we eliminate click/pop here (assumption: by using minimal fade in/out) when using generic reverb plugins? (sonnox reverb, relabdevelopment lx480, TC vss3, toneboosters reverb, you name it)

no daw has this feature this easy available. It’s awesome and i just recently discovered it

Thanks

Hi,
can we have automatic sync for light/dark theme which will follow OS settings? (eg, half of day it’s light theme, then it goes dark)?

user should specify which theme should represent default light, and another as default dark?

using mac, not sure if this makes sense for win/linux world

When editing a custom LFO shape, say a ramp down, I can drag a red square on the waveform to change if it’s straight, convex or concave. Is it possible to modulate that little square and allow me to change the convexity/concavity of the shape throughout my song? If not, how can I try and approach this? My main goal is to open a filter and close it back down, and I’m loving the sound of doing it through changing my LFO shape’s, well, shape.

Hi there,
just want to know if it`s still not implemented to have midi support in the effect vst section and only in the instrument vsts. and if so will there a renoise update fixing that?
thank you in advance

I was working on this track every day starting at 5 am up to 6 am. It took me a few days to finish this track.
I hope you can feel this atmosphere.
Of course this track has been made in Renoise + VST instruments like Acid, Serum 2, etc…

Scaler 3 works wonderfully in RENOISE.

Keep in mind that they’re still ironing out bugs… but you can do some cool things.

Here’s a mini orchestral example…

Hello everyone, i was wondering if someone can help with connecting (if possible) the Mpc One (running on mpc3 software) with Renoise? I cant get it working properly … no 2 way connection. Renoise can see the audio engine from the Mpc One. Is there a way i can get this working properly?

Thank you all in advance

Okay I have loaded a sample into renoise looped it set the length on Track 1 and its looping nicely . I have copied this for 4 times in total the sample is on track 1 and I now want to add at a drum loop for say on track 2 and then play both the original ambient loop and the drum beat loop but now BOTH play at the same time all the time …its doing my head in … why cant I just have an ambient loop say for four bars and then that loop and the loop with the drumbeat and the ambient pad for bar part block 5 etc.

Hi Taktik!
It’s been quite a while since the last update and I just wondering, how are you doing and your plans of upcoming Renoise releases.
Is it possible to share a bit of information around Renoise future?
Thanks a lot!

Is there a reason why not? I’m curious because I have a tool that respond to this selection so it would be nice with consistency. Maybe there’s some sort of workflow reason behind it?

hi, here are two import hooks.
One is for .REX - the legacy ReCycle format (no, not .RX2). We used to have this made by @mxb working on v2.8 - but it did not remove the headers before the slices, leading to manual work.

One is for .PTI - the Polyend Tracker Instrument format.

so Before:

You can download this tool in it’s current form from

Renoise is a digital audio workstation. It lets you compose, edit and record production-quality audio using a music tracker-based approach. It features a wide range of built-in audio processors, alongside support for all commonly used virtual...

These two Import hooks are also a part of Paketti ( Paketti | Renoise ), fully integrated into the mix.

1. Support for Loopmode detection (off, forward, reverse, pingpong)
2. PTIBreaks are now opened properly, i.e. if a wavefile has 50% audio and 50% silence - then the audio is clipped to half, and slices recalculated to match the actual wavefile content.
3. Wavetable support - will detect what the wavetable position + window is, assign 00-7F volume for that, and also extract every single other wavetable into the instrument, but muted (Keymapping 00 Velocity) + retains the original full-length sample too.

hi, does Renoise support FFI?

Since Renoise doesn’t share the functionality of many daws that can use audio inputs on various instrument plugins - such as Arturia’s Vocoder V - I’ve found a fairly simple workaround.

Element by Kushview. Available for free as a slightly older version, no strings, or get the new one and support further development as well. This is a vst/vsti that can route various signals, audio and midi, inside itself, and spit out the result. The design is quite simple, a node based screen, recognizable to many.

How it works:

You have a track with audio that you want vocoded. Could be vocals, drums, anything. As long as it’s audio, and in one track.

Add Element FX as a vst to the track and open the Element FX editor window.

On an empty area in the large node layout window on the right, right click and scroll down to either “vsti developer > vsti of choice” or “unverified > vst/vst3 > vsti of choice”.

For example’s sake, let’s say we’re adding Arturia’s Vocoder V.

Now create connections from the “audio in” node to the vocoder’s audio inputs, as well as from the “midi in” node to the vocoder’s midi input. Then create a connection from the vocoder’s audio outputs to the “audio out” node.

Open the editor for Vocoder V, to do this - right click the small vocoder node and select “display > embed”… you may need to adjust the window size of Element FX before you do this to see all of the interface properly.

Select a preset and set it to “voice” instead of “sample”. Close out of Element FX.

In the instrument section top right add a new instrument set to the vst/vst3 alias of your Element FX instance.
This is now your midi controlling instrument for the vocoder.

Then the setup is done… track some notes (in any channel) with the alias instrument, hit play, and you should hear the vocoder using your notes vocoding your audio from the channel Element FX is active on.

You don’t need to set any midi channels, the alias will automatically be controlling the vsti instance inside with the “all channels” setting. That being said you could probably cc most of the settings in the vocoder the regular renoise way, haven’t tried it…

GLHF!

I’ve encountered some strange behavior I don’t understand. I’m unsure if it’s a bug, or if I’m missing some subtlety about midi routing.
I’d like to control multiple instruments using a single midi track. To do this, I first set up an empty instrument, and set the output to a virtual midi port, like this:

I then set up target instruments to listen to a connected input port, like this:

The midi sent to the first instrument controls the second instrument, as expected. The oddity begins when i start playing.
In the below screenshot, I’ve positioned my cursor at the top of a blank pattern, and pressed “z” to insert a single c3 note. The c3 shows up as expected. However, a mysterious second note, an octave lower, also shows up, routed to the target instrument!

Now, I understand why a note shows up for the target instrument - from renoise’s perspective, I’ve just input a midi note via an external controller, and it’s dutifully recording it. An expected oddity. But why is it an octave lower? I’ve checked the midi monitor and confirmed that C-3 is received by the target instrument, however, I can also see the source instrument triggering both C-3 AND C-2 on the graphical keyboad, despite it not showing up in either the input or output midi log. When triggered this way, the target instrument will always play the note an octave lower, and never play the original note at all.
Midi Loopback is a pretty weird edge case so I’m not 100% convinced there’s a bug at play here. If anyone wants to try to reproduce this or if you have any input at all on how to work around it, i’d appreciate it.
Thanks!

EDIT: sorry the image previews don’t appear to be working, but if you click through you will see screenshots. I"ve tested this in both mac and linux, same behavior.

EDIT 2: The spurious note is not always an octave lower, it’s fairly inconsistent. Sometimes it’s two octaves lower, sometimes one.

EDIT 3: Another interesting observation: If I open two instances of renoise, and route midi from one instance to another via virtual port, The note will be wrong. Inconsistently, it will be the wrong octave. I triple checked to make sure the virtual input wasn’t set as master clock or as master keyboard.
Routing midi from Reaper to renoise doesn’t do this, the note is correct. I haven’t tried this using hardware midi ports yet. Here’s a screenshot. You can see the correct midi data being sent and received, and the wrong note triggered on the vitual keyboard below.

EDIT 4: I found another thread talking about how renoise treats octaves differently from many other DAWS, but I don’t believe that’s the issue here. Setting an octave offset does not work - the offset is not consistent and will change as a sequence plays.

I just bought Renoise, but I can’t seem to download anything. Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to purchase an upgrade as well? Please help me, I’m new!

Just as there is a multiband send, I thought it might be a cool idea to have a M/S send…where you can, for instance only send the sides to one channel.

This was just a random idea that popped up and figured it was worth dumping here.

I think I may have brought this up before but renoise does not remember to stop processing plugins when not being used sometimes.I come across this quite often.When ticked it will behave as normal but if I reopen the file,renoise does not remember the settings,so upon opening the CPU spikes to high levels.Lots of plugins this seems to happen but the two that affects me most personally is,Replika xt and 3d expanse both Vst3.
