I’ve always avoided committing useful values in hexadecimal to memory, so I finally made this cheat sheet (with the help of Mixtral AI), and saved the most useful values as keystrokes that I can invoke in my trusty AlfredApp.com (for Mac). This uses the text replacement feature Snippets in Alfred, but of course you could adapt this approach to your favorite text expander for Windows, Linux, or Mac, like the FOSS Espanso.

This makes it so I can create easy to remember text shortcodes for values like 50% – I just write rhex 50 and that automatically gets replaced by 80, the hex code for 50%. I created keystrokes for multiples of 10 (10%,20%,30%…) as well as multiples of 25 (25%, 50%, 75%) and thirds values (33%, 66%). I figure these are the most useful integers for settings values like volume, pan, delay, etc. but of course you could make more granular keystrokes for anything you need.

If you have Alfred, you can download my mappings as a Snippet Collection. Otherwise, hopefully this post will empower you to create something similar for yourself.

Below is the breakdown of how the AI arrived at these values:

This is a cheat sheet translating between hexadecimal values and decimal percentages on a scale where 0% = 00 and 100% = FF:

Decimal Percentage Hexadecimal Value 10% 1A 20% 33 25% 40 30% 4D 33% 55 40% 66 50% 80 60% 99 66% A9 70% B3 75% C0 80% CC 90% E6 100% FF Explanation:

• The scale ranges from 00 (0%) to FF (100%).
• Each percentage is calculated by multiplying the percentage by 2.56 (since 256/100 = 2.56) and then converting the result to a hexadecimal value.

Calculation Examples:

• For 10%: ( 10 \times 2.56 = 25.6 ) which is approximately 26 in decimal, and 26 in hexadecimal is 1A.
• For 20%: ( 20 \times 2.56 = 51.2 ) which is approximately 51 in decimal, and 51 in hexadecimal is 33.
• For 25%: ( 25 \times 2.56 = 64 ) which is 64 in decimal, and 64 in hexadecimal is 40.
• For 30%: ( 30 \times 2.56 = 76.8 ) which is approximately 77 in decimal, and 77 in hexadecimal is 4D.
• For 33%: ( 33 \times 2.56 = 84.48 ) which is approximately 84 in decimal, and 84 in hexadecimal is 55.
• For 40%: ( 40 \times 2.56 = 102.4 ) which is approximately 102 in decimal, and 102 in hexadecimal is 66.
• For 50%: ( 50 \times 2.56 = 128 ) which is 128 in decimal, and 128 in hexadecimal is 80.
• For 60%: ( 60 \times 2.56 = 153.6 ) which is approximately 154 in decimal, and 154 in hexadecimal is 99.
• For 66%: ( 66 \times 2.56 = 169.76 ) which is approximately 170 in decimal, and 170 in hexadecimal is A9.
• For 70%: ( 70 \times 2.56 = 179.2 ) which is approximately 179 in decimal, and 179 in hexadecimal is B3.
• For 75%: ( 75 \times 2.56 = 192 ) which is 192 in decimal, and 192 in hexadecimal is C0.
• For 80%: ( 80 \times 2.56 = 204.8 ) which is approximately 205 in decimal, and 205 in hexadecimal is CC.
• For 90%: ( 90 \times 2.56 = 230.4 ) which is approximately 230 in decimal, and 230 in hexadecimal is E6.
• For 100%: ( 100 \times 2.56 = 256 ) which is 256 in decimal, and 256 in hexadecimal is FF.

AI Quote Prompt:

Here’s the prompt I used to get Mixtral AI to generate the above. You can modify it to your liking and/or use it in a different SkyNet of your choice.

Create a cheat sheet translating between hexadecimal values and decimal percentages. I want hex values for 10%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 33%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 66%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 90%, and 100% on a scale where 0%=00 and 256=100%=FF

I was plonking along on Renoise while visiting the inlaws and my baby niece wanted to try. I locked the sampler scale to a minor key, locked the step length to quarter notes and let her go crazy. She started spelling her friends’ names on the QWERTY and making some sick lead lines!

My son, who never wants me to teach him Renoise, was happy to snatch it and start playing it himself lol.

Expect to see them out on tour this summer…

Why is there no functional means to setup an external FX send/return pathway in Renoise? I’m genuinely frustrated to no end by this omission. I’ve used multiple other DAWs – Ableton, Bitwig, Logic, Reaper – which all have a native send/return insert device with latency compensation automatically handled, but Renoise has no such device.

I’m aware of how to set up a send channel in Renoise routed to the appropriate output on my interface, and an accompanying return channel with Line Input, but there is no way to compensate for the round-trip latency without manually adding a time delay plugin (e.g. Voxengo) to every single other channel. Track delays on the source & return track can be pushed into the negative enough to start to close the latency gap, but never 100%. And even if that worked, it would not enable external FX as inserts e.g. on the master channel.

I’d genuinely pay the license fee again to have this basic feature in Renoise. I don’t have a big hardware studio, but I do have a few high-quality pieces of outboard which are important to my sound and desired workflow. Will this ever be implemented?

I am trying to get renoise to work properly with pipewire. Currently the only way I can get audio to work in renoise is by using ALSA audio, which takes full priority over audio, meaning I cannot get audio from anything else on my PC while Renoise is running. I am able to use Bitwig perfectly by running as pulse audio, but there is no option for this in Renoise. Has anyone succesfully used pipewire with Renoise before? How would I go about setting this up?

-Linux Mint
-Renoise 3.4.4

Maybe in distant future, it would be a good idea to integrate Protoplug (LUA audio processing) into a native Renoise device. Protoplug is opensource and licensed with MIT, so this should be possible. The last available version suffered from native ARM support, but already uses LUA-Jit. Some people already did some research work. Might be a no brainer for developers which are very familiar integrating LUA.

Best approach actually might be the integration into the existing formula device, now providing meta and audio I/O at the same time, doing custom compressors, manglers, stranglers and what not. Next level stuff. Also very interesting for education purposes and a distant Redux FX.

A “proper” editor support then inside the formula device (i.e. support for separate script files, but somewhat saved inside the xrns) seems to be mandatory then.

I saw in search results that it was mentioned many times (and even ~decade ago), so it may be repetitive feature request now. But it would be cool to have an option to save preset of phrase bank, because sometimes the bank is large in amount of phrases and when you want to change instrument sound only it is a little pain to upload each individual phrase into its bank back.

Thank you.

It seems i cannot find it, pressing spacebar only restart the pattern from the beginning, and play current line (return) will just play the line and not resume playback. Could be useful, especially with autoseek samples

i have been using x[Knob] for easier findability for what feels like years.

unfortunately, i cannot see any of the results anymore because x[ cannot be searched for.

could this be addressed in a future update?

i.e. i’d expect to be able to find these:

but no luck.

Renoise have very nice LFO. Unlike many other DAWs, you can use points instead of lines, which is cool.
Problem is that points works the same as lines mode. If you trigger second LFO reset by first LFO points, it supposed to trigger that reset only at the moment when the point value is and do not trigger it between. Unfortunately - it triggers reset all the time, so second LFO is not moving then.

Description:

PrevTrack, NextTrack, and PlayPause keypresses elicit no response from Renoise in Ubuntu Studio.

Steps to reproduce look like this:

In Windows, bind Global>Transport>Pause/Continue (from cursor) to “PlayPause”
Export keybinds.xml file
Import keybinds.xml file to your Ubuntu Studio copy of Renoise using a thumb drive
Launch Renoise in Ubuntu Studio
Press “PlayPause”

Expected results:

The default song is played.

Actual results:

The playhead does not move.

The same goes for PrevTrack and NextTrack, which I have bound to Pattern Editor>Navigation>Jump to First/Last Row, respectively.

I can’t rebind anything to those multimedia keys in my Linux copy of Renoise or get any sign that the program is hearing the keypresses, whether I check “Override window manager shortcuts” or not.

The multimedia keys work as expected in VLC Media Player and Firefox, playing, pausing, and skipping through playlists.

I’m running Renoise 3.4 in Ubuntu Studio 24.10 on an Acer Nitro 17. I imported my keybinds (and my user library, etc) from Windows 11. Below are my media key shortcut settings in Ubuntu Studio (defaults). New linux user here, so be gentle!

Reaper sees Tyrell, but Resoise does not. Any advice?

The analyzer in Renoise works quite nicely while using it at 48kHz sample rate. Here is a shot:

But if you switch to 96kHz, now the low bass area seems to be flawed. Same song, similar area:

It’s like there is no analysis below 43,50 Hz anymore…

I also like the speed of the peak fall much much at 96kHz, maybe 48kHz could be the same?

Renoise version 3.4.4 is not quite functional in cooperation with VST3 Omnisphere II, from Spectrasonic. It does not work in automation import, nor does editing the name of the effect specified in automation. Which is a great pity. I contacted both parties, both Spectrasonic, which provided its Omnisphere II software set, and Renoise programmers. The answer was that it will work in the next update. I’ve been waiting for a year now, no feedback from Renoise yet.

Good evening people, I played a melody in a track. and I have a creative soundblaster AE-5 Plus, and the program asio4all with which I can also switch from master to other 5.1 speakers in Renoise Tracks when Routing, you have Master, Front L/R
, Rear LR and Center/Sub, now I come back to the one melody that I played and recorded, if I select that to another track, for example Front/L, I could then select all the notes at once and then make another sample, because as far as I know a sample cannot be used at the same time in 5 speakers and a subwoofer, is there a possibility in Renoise to record an entire song, for example what I have played, in a few steps with click 5.1 speaker set can make, I really hope to know a possibility, with making this intention,

Might be useful, if the sample editor had an additional toggle button for recording the live output of the master.

Perhaps it would be good if the sample editor also displayed the volume in dB, based on the y-position of the mouse cursor on the sample, right next to here:

The x-position could be displayed all the time, too.
