1. if you have a .XRNI in a folder inside a tool, it is not shown. it should be. in fact, show all files! what is this filtering that we have no control over?
2. if the folder in the Tools folder does not have correct .xrnx extension at the end of the folder, highlight that that is what’s going on - and that’s why it can’t be loaded/run. or something.

alternatively if 2 is frowned upon, then:

3. show .xrnx here:

I love using IR’s but i noticed when using IR’s within renoises Convolver the quality is really abysmal - the sound is nasty and thin when compared to other IR loaders. Is this some bug?

Would be nice if there was an updated convolver device that is full high quality. In this age with the fast cpu’s i think a HQ native convolver would be a must have imho.

It sounds like there’s a ton of aliasing noise added to everything i put through it.
I compare it with Fog Convolver 2 or the native Bitwig convolver device and there is none of that noise added - it sounds pristine in there.

Hello,

First of all, I’m very grateful for any help, trying to figure this out before I buy the full version.

Set-up:

PC - I7 Dell laptop, 8Gs RAM, CPU load doesn’t budge from 3-4%
Digitakt connected by Midi USB → sound out to speakers
No audio processing through Renoise - solely using it as a sequencer and for CC control
Still on the Demo version - using DirectSound, but as mentioned, no audio processing going on in Renoise
Have set up a Instr Midi Control FX for the CCs

Problem:

When sending a fast chain of Note + Midi CC commands (in this case, 1/8th Notes at 155bpm), the Midi CC applies incredibly late - I have to set the Midi command a whole two steps early to get it to apply to the right note.
I can understand setting the Command a line early, as in the Midi screen you can see that note events are sent before CCs, but even a line above isn’t enough - it is still applied one note late.
The problem goes away if I run the sequencer at half speed.

Questions:
Firstly, is this something asio will fix? As I’ve mentioned, there’s no audio being processed by Renoise, and so I fail to see how reduced audio buffer size is going to improve Midi latency when I can’t even pair Note triggers with CC commands: then again, I’m no expert.
Secondly, is there a way, for convenience, to specify a Midi CC command and have it apply to the same step, despite Note events being apparently sent before CC’s?

If I can’t fix this, I’m not going to o be using Renoise, which is a shame because I really like tracker workflows…

Cheers.

I’m new to renoise, but seem to be getting the hang of it pretty quickly. I’ve composed a few synthwave tracks on the Pico-8 tracker and I’m looking to make things that are more complex, specifically 80s corporate music that you’d find on old training videos by the likes of John Manchester. I’m obsessed with this kind of music, I love to hate it, and I want to live long enough to see myself become the villain.

Here’s a few iconic tracks:
Power Thrust - YouTube
Zenith - YouTube

I have a feeling that music like this can be made with just the built-ins, because synthesizers were so much simpler then. Anyone got any tips on sensibilities, recommended instruments, recommended process for learning this style, or anything like that? Thanks!

Window functions seem to be somewhat broken or at least don’t work like other applications on OSX.
I dragged the Renoise window from the notebook screen to my large monitor but could not resize it with double klick on the title bar or pulling the edges (weird). So I maximized it. Now there is no way to un-maximize it (weird again). There is no green button, etc. How can I un-maximize it but still use the full screen real-estate?

How can i correctly reset the Stepper in instrument modulation at the beginning of each bar in the most simple way? So the first note starts the first step in the stepper.

I connected it to a macro, but when turning that macro it doesn’t reset to the first step on the stepper at the beginning of each bar or at a note of choosing. Must be overlooking something.

Thank you.

hi, i’m working on a shortcut that shows or hides a dialog. but i notice that if i click on the [X] at the top left corner, nothing happens. i.e. the “dialog has been closed” feature of my dialog is not shot.

how does one detect that [X] has been clicked on, dialog has been closed, and then revert to “dialog is not open”, so that the next time you run the shortcut, the dialog is opened? currently if i click on [X] to close, i need to run the shortcut two times - which means that on the first run, it seems the feature is broken.

I have this almost transparent, except for the [X]. any ideas?

hi, it would be appreciated very much if one could also bind shortcuts to modified clicks (left & right clicks). i.e. if you shift-click, ctrl-click, alt-click, cmd-click, (both left+right clicks), or use the scrollwheel, these can trigger shortcuts functions.

Hi everyone,

I have a Mac Mini with the latest version of Renoise installed. When I hold the down arrow key, it only moves one row and then stops. However, the script editor (or any other application) scrolls down normally.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I’ve tried changing the repeat interval in the settings, but it didn’t make any difference. When I press any key it fires exactly ones - it makes Renoise almost unusable. And I don’t have this problem on any other computer where Renoise is installed so I am not quite to sure where to look at.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I’m assuming that Renoise still runs on ticks per line??Its just been formulated with the LPB settings so that its easy for anyone to understand?

I’ve been using the Dirtywave M8 tracker a lot recently.It is pure hexadecimal and everything is based on the ticks per line old school way of doing things.What caught my attention is the groove control in the M8.

The M8 has a separate page that contains all tables for groove control.On this page you can have many tables, each with your own custom groove,the grooves are organised under a groove command,you can switch between the groove tables by changing the command, 01,02.03 e.t.c in the pattern editor.

The groove tables can do some really interesting things.Each table goes from 0-F (16 lines for each table),each line can contain a tick setting.You can also have a tick setting of 0 which will cause the table to stop running at that line and it will start again from the beginning, it will simultaneously affect the pattern in the same way that it is applied to,if you have nothing input for the line, the table skips this line and continues on,again this also affects the pattern that the groove is being applied to, in the same way.

So for example if you input no value for a particular line in a groove table, when you apply that groove to a pattern via groove command it will also skip the line in the pattern.

The results from using these tables are incredible.Rhythms start to bend and warp and change in all kinds of ways.By simply changing a groove table you can transform a whole song into something completely different.It really is very powerful.

I’m aware you can command BPM and LPB changes in Renoise however it is not quite the same thing.
For one thing these commands have to be input repeatedly, secondly its really hard to tell with multiple commands if you are in keeping with the overall bpm and time structure, this can quickly become a headache and you will need to do some calculations.On the M8 while editing a groove table it will automatically tell you how many ticks in total the table amounts to, so you always know how you are affecting the overall rhythm.

I bring this up because i would absolutely love for this to be implemented into Renoise in some way, shape or form.

I love Renoise but the groove control is woeful.Groove tables or even a single groove table would be amazing.I hope this is taken into consideration for the future.I can’t overstate how powerful the groove tables are,they really blow me away.

I would upload examples but the M8’s sound driver is not playing nice with my focusrite soundcard atm.

Anyone else have a M8?Or experience with groove tables?

Dear all,

I’m not really good at understanding certain things. Unfortunately, English is not my mother language either. I have a question about samples, it concerns the sample space piano that I received when purchasing the Renoise license. I like this sample, so that you can make your own melody, when I search for sample CDs or to download I always get a whole melody from someone else, and I don’t want that, I really want to make songs myself through Renoise music. from myself and not creations of other, can someone explain to me where I can buy a sample such as space piano somewhere else or download it for free.
and oh yes, when you press C-6, you can see in the photo that you also grab parts of other octaves, so the smaples sometimes sound better. that’s also the idea behind it,

kind regards, Marc De Zeeuw

Using latest version of both Renoise and Arturia Analog Lab V (VST3) on Windows 10.

Open a song and immediately render then Analog Lab V more likely than not won’t be rendered if its note is placed on the 1st line of the first pattern specifically. If the note is placed on the 2nd line or later it works.

So it’s easily reproduceable; make a new song and place a note with Analog Lab on 1st line, save the song and close Renoise, then open the song and render without pressing play first as it mostly render when played first but not always. If it does render then close Renoise and retry.

Come to think of it I got Arturia FX collection 5 a month ago and updated all my Arturia plugins, this bug may have begun back then.

It would be really cool if one could resize the height of the faders to make them 2x taller, because they’re really short right now.

Hello forum. I’ve looked around for some answers and can’t find anything definitive and I’m not sure if they cover what I’m after. I know the way renoise works with regards to pitching up and down notes, but I’m wondering if there’s a way I can make it a lot “snappier”. The only example I can think of is this omni trio song where the hits are pitched very sharply up and down. I can do this say, with reaper, adding ReaPitch to the FX in a track and then automating it myself by hand, but that’s not really what I want to do. I’d rather use renoise than anything else. Does anyone have any tips or techniques that they use themselves to achieve this effect? Is there something ridiculously obvious and simple that I’m overlooking? Is it something to do with the modulation section or are there any pre-made modulation sets that cover what I’m after?

If anyone can shed any light it would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I’m currently testing AVLinux which has Pipewire support and also pipewire-jack is installed. When I start Renoise and choose Jack I’m getting stuttering sound in Renoise and in any other application (e.g. Firefox).

When I initialize Jack in Renoise the sound is fine, but only for 1 or 2 seconds (until the initialize button becomes grey again). No such problem with SunVox or Reaper.

I can “fix it” when I open PulseAudioVolume controll and switch under Configuration from my Interface to ProAudio and back again. After reboot I have to repeat the same thing to get it working again. Any idea?

Hello! Currently working on a tool where I need to know which device is currently visible/selected, i.e. whether the tracks/mixer pane is currently visible or the sample DSP chain.

I’ve seen there are options to tell the corrent track and dsp chain selected device, but not which view is actually currently visible.

Looking for this, because I want to load data from an instrument to a specific device and back, so I need to know whether the user would want to trigger the command in track or sample effects chain.

Hi fellow Renoise fans.

I’ve used Renoise extensively with VSTs, but I would like to be able to play my SL88 Grand controller and hear my various external MIDI devices. Of course this is simply a step toward wanting to use the SL88 Grand to help me enter notes into Renoise.

Currently, though, I can’t hear my external MIDI devices, whether playing the SL88 live or during Renoise playback.

These external MIDI devices’ audio output is on separate channels of an aggregate audio device I made in OS X Audio MIDI Setup.

VSTs are working fine with the aggregate audio device. I see the MIDI input from the SL88 Grand and the MIDI output to the correct channels on the MIDI tab of Renoise. But again, the problem precedes MIDI. I can’t hear the MIDI keyboards when I play their own keyboards.

I grok how to do this in Logic Pro, where I simply specify which audio I would like to hear on a given track. But I can’t seem to find the equivalent in Renoise. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

dear people, renoise piano roll, an octave contains 12 piano keys.
7 white keys and 5 black keys. I am not very experienced at playing the piano, my intention is to open a track with 12 tracks and start with C, C# D D# E F F#
G G# A A# B
I notice with piano roll that all samples are mixed together, is there something in the settings that I can set so that I have octave tracks for a good overview?

Most VST plugins seem to decrease their own volume by about 6 dB to prevent clipping. Thus, Renoise’s sampler is usually a lot louder than plugins, which means that I have to set the instrument volume to -6 dB for most sample instruments. Also, the loudness of the sampler often results in clipping when playing chords.

So, in addition to the current track headroom option, I think Renoise ought to have an option to change the volume of all samples, and possibly another one to change the volume of plugins.

See: the “Synth Volume” and “Sample Volume” sliders in OpenMPT:

Hello, I have a problem with my Renoise software and the VST Thrill. I started working on a track, everything went well. I saved my work, no problem…However, when I tried to open my work again, I had a crash of my VST . Unable to find my configuration. If I start a new project, Thrill works well. It only crashes when my track loads. Thank you in advance for your help.
