Renoise Forum

I’ve already posted this in the longer thread, but I think it’s worth its own topic.

The graphical track automation has a very high resolution-- up to 256 points per line. However, if I do some live recording of an FX parameter, Renoise only records one point per line. In addition, it changes the interpolation type to points, which means I have to manually change it back to lines or curves (one pattern at a time) if I want any interpolation between points.

Is it possible to have a setting for the recording resolution? It could be tied to the quantization in the pattern editor, or it could be its own setting in the automation window. I also think it would make more sense if the recorded automation just kept the existing interpolation shape in each pattern.

Trying to see if there is any way of assigning the expand function in the advanced pattern operations to a hotkey when I have a selection made in the pattern editor.Cant seem to find it,I can see the Ctrl +f9 expand but that only acts upon the pattern as a whole,any help?

Hey y’all - I wanted to create a chain of effects to randomize the repeater when the snare is triggered and also only trigger the repeater occasionally so the repeater is only active sometimes. Here is how I came up with a way to accomplish this. It’s working and also seems like maybe there is a better way to achieve this?

• 2 LFOs controlling the mode and divisor of the Repeater with the random setting (in blue)
• 1 Velocity tracker making the repeater active when the snare is triggered (in pink)
• 1 Velocity tracker making the repeater bypass when the hi-hat is triggered (in pink)
• 1 LFO controlling when the Velocity tracker for the snare runs with the random setting (in pink)

Any thoughts for a better way to achieve this?

Is there a problem with Renoise regarding midi files?

When I import a midi file into FL Studio with only chords in it I get all the chords.

When loading that midi file into Renoise I get only 1 note per chord on screen.

Does anyone know a solution?

I’ve bumped into this every now and then, sometimes when I open Renoise, the keyboard looks like this

and only the white keys work as they should, the darker ones are pressed down and they play the sound, but they are pressed for like 2 seconds and only after that they get unpressed.

If I restart Renoise, it works correctly. Latest version, w11

I drug out all my old keyboards from the garage, hooked everything up to renoise and was excited…

One big problem I am having is many of these keyboards have like 500 or more patches.
Seems I can only access the first 128 patches even on the keyboards that have more.

One example is I have a DGX Yamaha portable grand. The drum kits are on 128-137.

I tried banks, channels nothing seems to work.
I got desperate enough to break out the manual, which just gave MSB 127 LSB 000 for those patches with midi program changes 001, 002, 009, 017, 026, 113, 033, 041, 049.
I don’t see any way to set midi program changes or the msb value…

Can anyone help or please point me in the right direction? I’d really love to get this working and not be stuck with just general midi patches for all these keyboards I have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I’m not sure what else to try!

Best regards,
Steven

So this is my LP Uncanny Valley, released today made solely using Renoise as DAW. - Spotify

I have used an plethora of VST-plugins in this project and I have found it challenging. The Instr. MIDI Control makes it bearable to work with VSTs, but still I feel it’s a challenge. Do you feel the same about VSTs or is it smooth sailing?

Since I’m not much of a musician, I usually program the rhythm part of an instrument first, sending gate signals only in C4 (or in C5, or C3, depends, if I intend to generate a bass or something similar to a flute or who knows what else), then I change some of those notes to create a melody. I could use the native Transpose section, but selecting one note at a time and clicking +1 or -1 until you find the right note is quite stressful… Within the piano roll I easily and quickly move the notes, also having a sort of graphic feedback of where I’m placing my notes, and being now used to piano rolls, this potentially allows me to build a melody even with the speakers turned off. I could definitely do it within the tracker interface, taking much longer and still drawing a piano roll in my head to choose the notes in the tracker… So, more convenient to have a piano roll, right? With this I absolutely don’t want to say “hey, I would like a native piano roll”, I don’t care, I have 4 piano rolls available, I don’t need any more…I just wanted to try to explain what I do with a piano roll in Renoise seen that some really struggle to imagine any use for it. Another alternative technique I use are VCV Rack sequencers, specifically things like Seq-3: I take the gate signals from Renoise but the pitch signals from Rack, then let my sequence play in Renoise and turn the knobs in Rack to find my melody…So my gates just say C4, C4, C4, C4, C4… But there’s a whole scale there.

So, nothing, sorry, useless discussion, if the moderators deem it appropriate they can also move it off topic, I wanted more to create a chat between friends than something really useful to the entire Renoise community…But in the end everything can be useful somehow.

Just messaged him on here but it said he had not been on here in 2 years… Wish to buy the last SVArTracker which was 1.30 in 32bits & also the Anti-Wave VSTi sampler. SVArSoft site has been gone since late 2019 but bringing in paypal links current they seem to be still alive so maybe…

So if anyone has any contact info or clues would be greatly appreciated>>>

Probably better to explain using a short video. As you can see, I want to use a master command to jump around all the samples collectively. I know you can use an SXX on one sample at a time but I’m wondering if there is a way to jump backwards in a track and then forwards again using FX commands. Right now, I am able to do it manually by using the mouse to rapidly jump to the start point of different patterns in the song.

Below is a demo I made to explain the situation. Sorry for the bad audio.

This would make an awesome glitch effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was looking through https://forum.renoise.com/u/bit_arts/summary and saw a bunch of files he made as tutorials that I had no idea he had made, but everything leads to broken links, could anyone by chance reup them?

What are the pros and cons of having drum samples (not drum breaks) contained in a single instrument, instead of just giving them all their own instrument slot?

Is it all down to personal preference, or are there benefits to doing each method?

I am aware that you can save instruments and can have your samples mapped across the keyboard, but are there any other benefits I am missing?

What is your preference?

Recently read in u-he’s changelogs:
“VST2 > VST3 migration support for hosts using the IPluginCompatibility interface”

So I guess VST3 offers such an interface, if provided by the plugin, but the host needs to use it, if detected. Or something…

P.S. Also JSON is involved, always a sign for superior design

Procedurally Generated Music - Part 1: Song Seeding

The Maybe Melodies tutorial song uses randomness to drive most of its music. I figure out how to replace this with procedural generation so different seed numbers create different versions of the song, but using the same seed always plays the same song.

I’ve installed a few versions of MidiConvert but not had any joy exporting MIDI . It doesn’t even output a MIDI file, even if I type a filename with extension.

Any tips?
