Please excuse me my ignorant question, but why as of 2020 there is still no port of OctaMED v4 on Windows? I’m not a programmer but the way I see it is it can’t be that difficult to do this, considering how primitive and small the program is in its essence, right?

I’ve done a little google search and it seems in order to use the old OctaMED (v1-v5) you still require an Amiga emulation which kinda sucks… I couldn’t find any in-depth tutorial which explains how to set this up and the few people that managed to do it are kind of secretive about it… As if it’s some kind of hidden knowledge that shouldn’t be passed on, OMG…

Anyone care to shed a light on this please? For the love of the community.

Hi.

I am developing a tool to midi map the Launch Control XL (I know it exist Duplex, but my aim is to learn how to do it).
I 've done the complicate thing, but I don’t know why, after creating the midi_callback with : renoise.Midi.create_input_device(device_name, IncomingMidi) I can receive incoming midi but only for a couple of second, then the device close itself (I see it on the Renoise message bar at the bottom of the main window), even no “midi_device_in:close()” instruction is present in my code.
I don’t know if it is the ‘garbage collector’ of lua or Renoise itself, but it my “midi_device_in” object is closed by something… Any Idea to figure out why (the hell) ?

Note that I am new with lua, but not new as a hobbist programmer.

My code:

local function IncomingMidi(message)
assert(#message == 3)
assert(message[1] >= 0 and message[1] <= 0xff)
assert(message[2] >= 0 and message[2] <= 0xff)
assert(message[3] >= 0 and message[3] <= 0xff)

if math.floor(message[1]/16) == 0x09 then
print(“Note - Y:”,IncomingNote(message[2])[1]," - X:", IncomingNote(message[2])[2])
midi_device_out:send {message[1], message[2], red_full}
end

if math.floor(message[1]/16) == 0x08 then
midi_device_out:send {message[1], message[2], off}
end

if math.floor(message[1]/16) == 0x0B then
print(“Pot:”,
IncomingPot(message[2], message[3])[1],
“\nvalue:”,
IncomingPot(message[2], message[3])[2])

if IncomingPot(message[2], message[3])[1] ~= 0 then SetValueToParameter(1, 1, IncomingPot(message[2], message[3])) end

end

end

local midi_device_out = renoise.Midi.create_output_device(device_name)
local midi_device_in = renoise.Midi.create_input_device(device_name, IncomingMidi)

Hello.

I’m trying to figure out a way of controlling the knobs in the combinator from renoise. This was possible when rewire was used. Have anyone managed this when used as plugin? I’m thinking of these (A):

I have found work-arounds by mapping any of pitchbend, mod-wheel to for example “filter frequency” of one of the combined instruments. But, it’s just not the same since mod-wheel and pitch already has functions that i will loose.

With rewire, the rotary knobs 1-4 was controllable with M0 + 47-4A, now the same command does nothing.

The values that seems to respond in reason may be the same that reason names “performance controllers” in the bottom of the combinator. (B in image)

Have anyone came across this and solved it? How?

Hey everyone,

I just downloaded Renoise for Ubuntu, and was excited to see that it’s one of the few DAWs that you can easily download for Ubuntu.

I have used Ubuntu for a while, but I know literally nothing about Linux. I use it because it’s faster and simpler and less annoying than windows, but I know virtually nothing about directories, editing files in the text editor, etc. Keep that in mind in your responses, I probably have little idea what you’re talking about but I can follow step by step instructions if they’re truly step by step.

I’m having two issues. One, I get the “Failed to create a RealTime priority thread for ALSA” message when opening Renoise.

Second issue, I load in some of the demo songs and play them, but 0 sound at all comes out. Renoise shows that there is audio playing, but I hear nothing. I can play audio otherwise. I have all of the files that downloaded when I downloaded Renoise in my home directory.

What can I do to get sound + RealTime priority for ALSA?

Thanks, excited to get started.

R3.2.2 Windows 10
It seems that Renoise has an error adjusting the values of the slices of a sample. I am attaching an empty song with an instrument with a single sample with 5 slices:
crash_when_move_slices.xrns (643.9 KB)

To reproduce the error:

1. Load the song.
2. Go to Waveform for Instrument 1, Sample 1.
3. Move with the mouse the Slice 02 slightly around Slice 01. Or move Slice 01 around Slice 02. The following window will appear:
   

All tools are disabled. It’s an internal Renoise error. It will reproduce the error when you release the mouse.

This also causes errors when using from the API:
renoise.song().instruments[].samples[]:move_slice_marker(old_marker_pos,new_marker_pos)

It would be appropriate for other users to try this bug to confirm…

In this earlier topic that’s now locked, there is a handy tool to change automation points from points to linear:
Wholesale change automation from points to linear Help, Support & Bugs So I’ve recorded some multi parameter automation for a whole track in one take, but as it defaulted to Points, I would like to change all the recorded automation to Linear. As far as I can tell, it is not possible to change this all in one go, as multiple patterns can’t be selected. I have 6 parameters and as you can probably imagine, that’s a lot of faff to change to Linear. Is there a simple way to do this (without re-recording it), or does it need to be done with a tool? cheers

However this tool fails to install to Renoise 3.2.2.

I wonder if it’s possible to get a working version for the newest Renoise. Or if someone can point to what needs to be changed in the script to get it working, would be appreciated!

There’s a special place in hell reserved for whoever invented metatables.

I’ve just spent the best part of two days tugging at my flaxen locks trying to work out why the table returned by the __index of a metatable was being updated by indirect access instead of throwing an ‘attempt to index nil’ error for the public table when setting a value like this:

-- this table has no value for index (nil), but a metatable -- with an '__index' method to return a default value table_with_metatable[index].value = something -- expect that it would complain of no field 'value', but instead -- sets the metatable[index][value] variable to 'something'

So, it’s fetching the table at __index and then the dot operator is just sugar for [ ] on the table that lives at the index of the metatable. How infuriating. It makes somewhat more sense as i write it out here, but maybe i’m just stupid and this is obvious to everyone else. Zeus strike me down if i don’t find C++ references and pointers much easier to deal with. Just give us a ‘read only’ flag to set already rather than having to bloat out the code with loads of guff to deal with this insanity!! I just want to shadow a table of default values by setting and removing them in the top level of the code, it’s not much to ask.

The ‘solution’ mentioned here is merely a workaround:
Linux: R3.2.1 (Nov.7.2019) empty instrument plugin list Help, Support & Bugs Hello! New to Renoise, glad to be learning! My build of Renoise seems to be unable to find (or at least, display…?) any VST instruments I have on my system. I have tried fixing my $VST_PATH variable to no avail. The plugin dropdown list remains purely blank, with no text displayed at all. I installed v3.1.1, and my instruments are displayed and working as expected. So, for now, I’ve began using 3.1.1. I’m running Manjaro Linux, with the 5.0.5-arch1-1-vfio kernel. Thanks for any help, and lov…

Has anyone found a solution to this, or, is one on the way?

So this is a weird one. TAL Chorus (the windows 64-bit vst2 version) doesn’t show up in my list of effects plugins in Renoise. I’ve rescanned, I’ve reinstalled, I’ve double-checked that it’s in the folder with all my other VST plugins. It shows up in Reaper no problem, but I can’t seem to find it in Renoise. Anyone else had this issue?

This was fun to make, and a bit darker than my usual stuff. I did want to record the drums all in on the fly for a proper east coast feel but chickened out in the end! Need to get a MPC style pad controller.

Hi!

I recently worked some tracks in 3/4 :

I wanted to know if there are an option about this? Maybe I missed something. Because I was quite lost into patterns this time (ok, ok, I’m sooo used of 4/4…) but maybe there are some tips?

Been really enjoying breaking away from traditional linear timeline DAWs and was inspired to create new music using Renoise.

I realise it’s probably not the kind of genre usually used for this kind of thing.

Amazing amazing software - thanks so much to the developers!

Hi Renoisers

I’ve had a Lenovo Thinkpad T520 i7-2670M Windows 7 Pro since 2013, and adore the heck out of it, turning in a whole album made on the thing as well as the occasional remix, but I’m hitting 100% CPU in Renoise more and more often these days (mainly due to my relentless piling-on of VSTs). I’m toying with the idea of upgrading my system to a super-fast modern PC laptop (preferably one with a numeric keypad, widescreen and an SSD) and wondering how painless a process this is.

Has anyone done this? Is it a case of just copying and pasting my VSTs folders, doing a fresh install of Renoise (and Reaper) and it all magically works on the new machine? Or is it a whole world of pain? I have years and years of various plugins, including creaky old 32-bit ones from obsolete programmers, so am hoping it’s a straightforward process. Obvs Windows 7 is RIP as well, so I’m wondering does everything just copy and paste into Windows 10 happily?

And what’s a super-duper PC folks are using that calmly powers through dense Renoise tracks without breaking a sweat?

Thanks all!

I love the way you can break up patterns in the sequence editor with headings… What would be awesome for me would be the ability to colour-code blocks of sequences. Say you have 8 patterns in a sequence that make up a chorus - it would be awesome to change the background on this block of patterns so that you can easily see which sequence blocks are similar.

In addition, it would be nice to have the means of duplicating part of a sequence to copy/paste a second chorus. Currently I do this via the Pattern Editor - I select all the tracks and pattern rows that I want and copy paste them further down in the sequence.

There can be up to twelve Note and eight Master FX columns in one track. It is very enough for common tracker use but if we need to use full power of hw/sw polyphony it is not enough, mainly for piano sounds. Today, if there are more notes in the same column, the previous note is stopped and the new one starts playing. It would be nice to have an option, if possible, to let the previous note play. Maybe someone has a workaround for doing that?

I was exploring the convolver and found some real interesting impulse responses over at seaweed factory. Renoise convolver is pretty amazing.

Sample packs.

Does anyone know of a nice free impulse response collection, specifically hardware impulse responses?

1] Group a track

2] Collapse your group

3] Run snippet and watch a strange thing happen. From the snippet you would expect to end up back at the top picture, but Group 3 has become like a normal sequencer track in appearance. Clicking the triangle on group 3 does fix things again though.

testpad snippet

--song local song = renoise.song() --loop backwards through tracks for track = #song.tracks,1,-1 do song:track(track).collapsed = false end

I’m trying to stream Renoise on Windows to Twitch using OBS or SLOBS. The problem I have is that there is no sound coming out to OBS (or slobs) at all.

I used to use Voxengo Recorder to create an audio route to my soundcard and managed to get sound into OBS that way. But now that one either creates a single echo or the sound stutter like crazy while playing. I’ve tried different all different kind of setting, but nothing sounds ok.

Is there another way to get audio to OBS from Renoise? Any plugin suggestions?
