Renoise Forum

I’ve always had an occasional problem with phrases not playing correctly. This time I thought it’s time to post on the forum since it’s degrading my quality of life!

Here is an example of a looping pattern with three chord voices triggered with Z02 Z03 Z04: Dropbox - phraseerror.mp3 - Simplify your life

1: ok
2: glitch
3: ok
4: almost ok… strange attack suggests something is happening with the envelopes?
5 glitch

I always thought it was due to my ‘soundcard stutters’ (buffers) that I’ve had a problem with, but it turns out this error is also audible when rendering to file. Perhaps even more so, as even the normal Gxx effect seems to get timing issues when rendering.

Is there some workaround or some mistake i’m making? I’m hoping to get to the bottom of this, finally.

The font of -Jxx and -Jx commands in the following Effect Command reference card is confusing with lower case l and upper case I. I think it should be corrected.

Hello

Can not understand. Is there a tool in renoise for tracking this or that parameter for subsequent transfer of values ​​to another tool?

Thnx

as an example: some note detectors have the ability to transmit midi data. the challenge is to use them.

Recently got most of my software installed on a new laptop, but I notice Renoise won’t display the full window for Korg plug-ins and a few Native Instrument VSTs. Others will display without issue, and these same plug-ins load fine in other DAWs. Anyone encountered this before?

Hello, I’m new to Renoise. Prefer it so far to other DAWs because I’ve messed about with trackers a bit back in the 90s. FWIW, I’m mostly interested in creating heavy rock / pop songs and want to make sure I can get the balance right (not sure if this is relevant, but it appears some electronic music genres are heavy on channels and effects than others and need every trick in the book - I’m glad with straightforward, clear and balanced).

My question concerns with mixing channels, specifically volume & panning. From what I can see there are a plethora of places where you can set the volume & panning of a track, or instruments in a track, especially when using VST instruments:

• Not counting key velocity, there are often volume and panning controls in the VST instrument itself (not to mention there can be multiple instruments in a channel, but I prefer to dedicate channels to instruments)
• You can set the volume for the channel in the pre mixer…
• And then again in the post-mixer before it goes to master / another bus
• You can set volume & panning in any bus, affecting whatever is routed through there
• You can set volume & panning in some of the effects, either native or 3rd-party plugin, that comes in between pre- and post mixers.

I’m utterly confused what the correct workflow should be when I get down to mixing, the sheer number of options feel like mixing could end up in a tweak without end.

I’m interested to know if there is a flow or if there are tips to keep things simple or manageable - like not bothering with volume and panning in certain places, or maxing out values in mixers.

Thanks for reading =)

Hi all,
Chris from GPU Audio here to tell you that the latest version of our FREE FIR Convolution Reverb now supports AMD! (along with some other updates). We’ve worked closely with AMD to make this happen, with some exceptionally complex technical challenges given the AMD architecture.

This means that in addition to the full support and partnership of NVIDIA, we can now bring highly tuned processing power of GPUs to millions of new audio workstations, producers and musicians.

Note this is still an early access release so for AMD users, it’s essential to follow the install steps provided in the readme file available here.

Supported AMD GPUs by Architecture:

Vega* Navi 1X Navi 2X
navi21 (gfx1030)
navi22 (gfx1031)
navi23 (gfx1032)
navi10 (gfx1010)
navi14 (gfx1012)
vega20 (gfx906)
vega10 (gfx900)

Jun 2017 Jul 2019 Nov 2020
Radeon RX Vega/Radeon VII(7nm)
Radeon RX 5000
Radeon RX 6000

*Vega isn’t “officially supported” yet, but can still be tested.

A Beta Suite of plugins is nearing completion and will be released in the coming weeks - with Apple support well on the way. Download the updated Early Access plugin for FREE here:

I tried this with 3.3.2 and 3.4.2. Mac 10.14.6
I haven’t gotten this bug with another plugin, but I haven’t used this feature much. With the few I’ve tested tho this doesn’t happen except with SampleTank.
I load a new blank song, and the SampleTank 4 ( or 3 ) AU or VST. Load a preset in the AU or VST, have tried many sounds, drums pianos etc, it does it with all.
I use the plugin grabber to get a few notes

There is a blank area at approx 163 samples in, lasting for approx 254 in every single sample that is grabbed. So unfortunately this feature is unusable with this plugin.

These blank areas do not happen if I, for example, play the notes as a pattern and then render. If anyone else has SampleTank on mac or windows and they could test to make sure its not just me that would be great, but I’m pretty sure I’m doing everything right and computer is working fine, licenses valid.

Hi

TLDR: scarlet 2i4 audio interface suddenly no longer being recognized by Linux Mint.

In depth:
I have a Focusrite Scarlet 2i4 Gen1 that was working fine on Linux Mint 19 this morning. But come this evening when I turned on the laptop again it’s no longer being seen by Mint’s sound devices. I didn’t update or change anything. It just disappeared from my available audio devices.

The thing is, I can still monitor incoming audio via the unit. And thus it’s still getting power via USB (with a little green light on the unit and all).

It’s also listed under the connected USB devices list via “$ lsusb”. But no matter what I try I can’t make it show up in my audio devices in the sound tab.

I’ve tried the usual things like switching out the USB cables and ports. Even tried it under a clean portable version of Mint 20.3 but that yields the same problem.

Unfortunately I don’t have access to another computer at the moment to try to connect the 2i4 to. To rule out the USB ports on my laptop. Though other USB devices work just fine, so the USB ports aren’t highly suspect.

Do you have any ideas on what I can try to get it work again?

Or do you have any ideas as to what might have failed on the unit that causes this behavior?

I’m not incredibly Linux savvy but I am willing to try things & learn.

Thank you for thinking along!

I am on MacOS Catalina 10.15.2 (19C57)
Renoise 3.4.2 (25th april built) basically
if i load a new track I can play it… but as soon as I stop it and press CMD to play again it keep retriggering on the first not.
Good to make glitch sounds, not for tracking

Is there any auto tuner plugin ?. I have some orchestral samples which I would like to map to keyboard.
Not sure I even need one to play a sample in different notes, if I tune it to A 440Hz will the other keys play correctly.
I’m just not sure what is the best solution.
Regards

I wanna buy a better keyboard so that i dont have to use my laptop keyboard all the time. So what sizes of keyboard do you guys use for renoise, do you use the numberpad etc. I’d be super interested to hear your opinions.

Here is a crude little formula for the seamless playback of an extended sample (e.g. a full acapella track) over multiple patterns.

It uses sliced or offset playback in 15 second chunks (other lengths will work as long too just change what you divide the BPM by).

It involves two steps:

1st: (Beats Per Pattern) = (Beats Per Minute) / 4

2nd: (Lines Per Pattern) = (BPP) x (Lines Per Beat)

Set the lines per pattern to the number calculated and enter the whole sample sequentially at the start of each pattern using offset FX or Slice Markers.

To get the formula to output a whole number bellow 512 for LPP you may have to adjust your BPM and LPB according how you divide the track.

There is probably a less clunky way of achieving this but I figured the above method may as well be posted.

This is probably a really dumb question. I’ve been trying to improve my music theory knowledge and feel like I’m making some good progress. But what happens when I trigger a C minor chord in a phrase with lets say a D#4 instead of a C4? It sounds like a rave stab when I trigger it with different notes, but not sure what’s happening to the actual triad of notes. So, if I write a chord progression within the phrase editor in the C minor scale I should trigger it with a C note right? And would it be in a different key otherwise? I’m starting to think of it as like an already rendered chord loop sample that’s being pitch shifted? but not sure if that’s right.

Thanks for running Renoise.

I have sketched out the jump command to be as simple and highly applicable as possible.
In particular, if combined with the Yx command, it will be possible to control with probability whether or not the line itself is executed, which I believe will enable a variety of new performances with simple expressions.
Please consider this.

Sorry if I am saying something strange.

1. Relative jump from current line to xx lines up

• Command example: “JUxx”
• xx=specify jump to xx lines up from current line

If the whole line is 00-31 (0x1F), then When current line is 15 (0x0F):

xx | line number to jump to and comment ---+----------------------------------- 00 | 15(0x0F) Loop the playback of 0x0F, `Y0`=Play 0x0F only once without looping, `YF`=Loop the playback of 0x0F 01 | 14(0x0E) Jump before playback 0F | 00(0x00) Jump before playback 10 | 31(0x1F) Jump before playback

• Yx command allows specifying the jump probability

2. Relative jump from current line to xx lines down

• Command example: “JDxx”
• xx=specify jump to xx lines down from current line

When the whole line is 00-31 (0x1F)
When the current line is 15 (0x0F):

xx | line number to jump to and comment ---+----------------------------------- 00 | 15(0x0F) Loop the playback of 0x0F, `Y0`=Play 0x0F only once without looping, `YF`=Loop the playback of 0x0F 01 | 16(0x10) Jump before playback 0F | 31(0x1F) Jump before playback 10 | 00(0x00) Jump before playback

• Yx command allows specifying the jump probability

3. Absolute jump from current line to line xx

• Command example: “JHxx”
• xx=Line number to jump to, specified in hexadecimal

When the whole line is 00-31 (0x1F)
If the current line is 15 (0x0F):

xx | line number to jump to and comment ---+----------------------------------- 00 | 00(0x00) Jump before playback 01 | 01(0x01) Jump before playback 0F | 15(0x0F) Jump before playback 10 | 16(0x10) Jump before playback

• Yx command allows specifying the jump probability

4. Relative jump from current pattern to xx pattern previous

• Command example: “JPxx”
• xx=specify jump to xx pattern previous from current pattern

When the overall pattern is 00-31 (0x1F)
When current pattern is 15 (0x0F):

xx | pattern number to jump to and comment ---+-------------------------------------- 00 | 15(0x0F) Play 0x0F again and loop 01 | 14(0x0E) Jump before playback 0F | 00(0x00) Jump before playback 10 | 31(0x1F) Jump before playback

• Yx command allows specifying the jump probability
• This command can also be used for phrases. In that case, it jumps to xx=relative phrase number instead of the pattern, or to the current phrase number if xx=00
• Consider the option to display the pattern number in hexadecimal
• Consider the option to display phrase numbers in hexadecimal

5. Relative jump from current pattern to xx pattern next

• Command example: “JNxx”
• xx=specify jump to xx pattern next from current pattern

When the overall pattern is 00-31 (0x1F)
When the current pattern is 15 (0x0F):

xx | pattern number to jump to and comment ---+-------------------------------------- 00 | 15(0x0F) Play 0x0F again and loop 01 | 16(0x10) Jump before playback 0F | 31(0x1F) Jump before playback 10 | 00(0x00) Jump before playback

• Yx command allows specifying the jump probability
• This command can also be used for phrases. In that case, it jumps to xx=relative phrase number instead of the pattern, or to the current phrase number if xx=00
• Consider the option to display the pattern number in hexadecimal
• Consider the option to display phrase numbers in hexadecimal

6. Absolute jump from current pattern to pattern xx

• command example: “JXxx”
• xx=pattern number to jump to, specified in hexadecimal

When the overall pattern is 00-31 (0x1F)
When the current pattern is 15 (0x0F):

xx | pattern number to jump to and comment ---+-------------------------------------- 00 | 00(0x00) Jump before playback 01 | 01(0x01) Jump before playback 0F | 15(0x0F) Jump before playback 10 | 16(0x10) Jump before playback

• Yx command allows specifying the jump probability
• This command can also be used for phrases, in which case it jumps to xx=absolute phrase number instead of the pattern, or to the maximum phrase number if xx=00
• Consider the option to display the pattern number in hexadecimal
• Consider the option to display phrase numbers in hexadecimal

The plugin odd sound mts for micro tuning,hasn’t been working properly since last update,it now shows a blank screen when plugin is loaded.Also a separate issue I’m having is that a lot of old tracks Made in the last version of renoise do not open in the new version,I have to load older version in order to work with them.

I have a unique issue which I wonder if anyone can provide some insight into. Certain VSTs I use in Renoise are doing something such as cycling a sequence of modulation at a certain rate. It seems like when I reload the Renoise track, the cycle does not reset to the same start point, and it kind of ‘endures’ over reloading the track or restarting Renoise, however will reset (I think) upon restart of PC.

Does anyone know if there is some kind of ‘flush cache’ function in Renoise or have any suggestions towards my described issue above. Thank you in advance for any replies.

Hi,
I’m not sure it’s easy to reproduce but I’ve never seen this behaviour in any VST host for the same plugin.
So I’m using Green Oak Crystal VST for Windows (freeware), on Linux (Manjaro) using Yabridge and Wine Staging (versions are irrelevant, the problem has been happening through many versions).

When loading Crystal in any Renoise project, it works perfectly. However, everytime I click the Renoise UI to select plugin programs, what happens is:

• Crystal UI quickly shows various values in its preset name box (parameters values)
• Would not be an issue if it did not take around 30 seconds to do this (every parameter for every preset)
• While it does this, Renoise is unresponsive. Also happens even if I hide Crystal’s UI.
• It happens everytime I click the Programs button in Renoise to show the presets.
• When it’s done, the list of programs appears as intended.

However, everything works normally if, instead of showing the Program selection popup, I click on the “Next program” and “Previous program” icons on the box.

Note that it’s probably not related to Yabridge since everything is normal in another Linux host like Carla.

Crystal can be found at this URL: Crystal VST Instrument

Worked out another way to do a similar sort of action as the other granulators I’ve been working on. This one is done using the delay module and two PDC modules, controlled via LFOs. Only have used them on microsound clicks, so you’ll want to figure out a way to add your own envelopes, etc. Added a slight pitch warble to the unit as well, just for fun - not a pitch shifter, just a mild vibrato.
