Renoise Forum

I was having a bug in one of my tools that took a while to pinpoint. Either I was stupid or the API behavior is a bit unexpected:

It seems that renoise.Song.selected_pattern_index_observable is always banging before renoise.Song.patterns_observable (e g, when inserting a new pattern and both are banging). This is a bit unexpected to me, as I would expect a list to be updated before the “active position” is changed.

(In practice, this was bugging me since I have an internal Document that is updating to reflect the current pattern list - while my GUI is updating on any changes of selected_pattern_index. Hence, I’ll get “attempt to index a nil value” when trying to access my Document in the brief time between those bangs.)

An ugly and non-failsafe workaround would be to wrap the index bang in a timer. But maybe the order of banging should/could be changed here, @taktik?

-- NB: the order of the two calls below does not matter renoise.song().patterns_observable:add_notifier( function() print("pattern list bang") end ) renoise.song().selected_pattern_index_observable:add_notifier( function() print("pattern index bang") end ) -- seems to always bang first. possible lack of integrity :)

I was just testing this rather new loudmax plugin which is available as a LADSPA plugin for Linux

https://www.kvraudio.com/product/loudmax-by-thomas-mundt

When I put this on the master bus or on any other track (which produces audio) there’s crackling when saving the Renoise project (and possibly also sporadically … needs to be tested).

First I thought it’s a bug in the plugin, but this happens with all LADSPA plugins.

I tested Renoise 3.0.1 and it does the same.

It happens with Jack and with ALSA. Tested on MX Linux MX-21.3_x64.

Who’s looking for a good True Peak limiter in Linux I just found these two new and great LADSPA plugins:

https://luveler.blogspot.com/
https://loudmax.blogspot.com/

The leveller even as a LUFS target setting.

Just copy the .so files (e.g. la_LUveler64.so) into your /home/…/.ladspa folder (if it doesn’t exit make such a folder). Rescan plugins and have fun!

I really like this one! I forgot that I made this until I heard it a few minutes ago. I did this in 2019 with Renoise. I am kind of in awe that I did it, which alleviates the tension of working on a current track and hoping my that laptop doesn’t get hit by a meteorite or something before I get to finish it. I used VSTs for bass such as FM8, Sugar Bytes Cyclop, Sugar Bytes Factory (those are the ones I can remember clearly)—but I remember a lot of using Renoise’s sampler to compile metal pluck sounds for that kind of melodic bass, metallic sounds originally from NI Prism. Try it out!

Edit: I forgot the link

Hi all, hope you’re doing well,
I’m trying to send OSC messages in real time as a track is being played, I couldn’t find it in the doc but I was wondering if there was an observable that would listen for when the currently selected line changes.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, have a good one!

Here I am, puzzling why I can’t get the legato work on my synth using the sequencer.

When playing the keyboard and playing legato, the envelope of the synth isn’t retriggered.
But I can’t achieve that with Renoise.

Thinking it was a dark setting in the synth at first, I start looking everywhere…
But then I analysed the MIDI sent out by Renoise, and it seems it automatically sends a note-off command right before sending a new note, which causes to always retrigger the envelope.

Usually this is great… unless where I don’t want it.

I’m staring at the FX commands, hoping to find the right one to tie the notes and not send that note-off.
But I don’t see it…
Gx doesn’t seem to work…

Anyone can point me to the right FX command, or setting in Renoise?

Hi there folks, hope you’re all having a good time and are enjoying your holidays!

I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while now and decided that I’ll do something related to Renoise and Trackers in general so I’m currently doing some research, do you guys have any cool art concepts to suggest? I’d be really down to check them out.

Finally back on this forum because I started producing again!!! I made this years ago and it has escaped my drive because I think someone could find it cool or maybe even helpful in life. The chops at the end help me in my day.

Also, are any of you on TikTok? I love pulling out my phone to watch little tracker videos and I record them too in order to log transient ideas in the creative process. I’m @eettee_ on there.

Time for another Mutant Break Competition? Why not, life is short and they are fun!

Save The Space:
Back in the day computer memory and storage space were at a premium. It has been said that limitation breeds creativity. Let’s put that to the test and make a track with limited sample memory available. In honor of the mighty floppy disk HD, that limit has been set at 147456.000 bytes. Use Martblek free Low Resource Tool to measure your sample usage. See both the rules and instructions down below for more details.

Competition starts: Saturday January 6th, 2024 Hawaii Standard Time.
Competition ends: Sunday February 4th, 2024 Hawaii Standard Time.

Voting starts: Monday February 5th, 2024 Hawaii Standard Time.
Voting ends: Monday February 19th, 2024 Hawaii Standard Time.

Prizes:
Free custom t-shirt for the winner. Shipped wherever it can be legally shipped to, free of charge. Winner is responsible for any import duties and custom fees.

Design to be confirmed.

Rules:

• Use Martblek’s free Low Resource Tool to measure your sample usage.
• Set your sample limit to 147456.000 bytes.
• No external effects. If you want that sound, bake into your sample.
• Samples only, no VST instruments. Yes, you are allowed sample VSTs or external gear.
• Must be between 3 and 6 minutes long.
• Your XRNS file must be shared publicly.

Your sample usages cannot exceed more than 100% of 147456.000 bytes as measured by Marblek’s Low Resource tool. That tool’s measurement is judge, jury & executioner.

Judging Criteria:
Will be announced January 6th, 2024.

Instructions:
Download Martblek’s free Low Resource Tool here.
Install it by dragging and dropping into Renoise. It should then be available in the Tools menu.
Once opened, set the limit in bytes to: 1474560.000
Use the toggle button to display your current sample usage. Shown in the left hand corner, next to the Hide/Show Track DSP pane and Hide/Show Track automation editor pane.

Special thanks:
@martblek for making the low resource tool. Without it this competition would not be possible.
@onyme your thread sparked the idea for this competition.
@slujr for the encouragement to set up this competition.

The manual reads: “The MIDI Clock master sends a series of 24 ppqn (pulses per quarter note) beat clock messages to all slaves.”

But one of my slaves can only be set at settings between 48 and 960 PPQN.

What is the problem?
My triplets are not triplets anymore but something irregular.

Is there a reason there is no way to manually set the PPQN for the Renoise MIDI Clock master?
Or is it just not implemented (yet)?

I’m not sure the problem would be solved, if it could be set so both have the same PPQN, but I wonder why it is a fixed PPQN, knowing that a mismatch can cause problems.

Hello,
So I have two sliced up breaks in two individual instruments.

I have one drum pattern in a track and I want to trigger both instruments. I need the exact same notes for both instruments, because the slices are the same timing wise, the second break is a layer.

The only solution I found right now is to make another track, copy paste the notes and then swap the notes to the new instrument using advanced edit… This seems redundant. Is there a way to trigger more than one instrument with one note?

I really like the memory limitation on my polyend tracker, I would like to have such limitation in renoise, can it be organized through scripts or some other way?
It’s very inspiring and disciplining to use less samples.

What’s up Renoise Gang!! Just wanting to know everyone’s opinion on A.I for sample generation. I’m pretty big on the vocals and whatnot and Output has a pretty cool A.I. for other instruments as well.

I was thinking maybe a tool(I’m a Renoise Tool enthusiast too ) that could access an online A.I. and chuck those samples in the Renoise Sampler(which is the best thing since sliced bread btw)

Here’s a pretty neat vid by DJ Pain1 covering a few things.
I’m pretty intrigued by this new wave of A.I. But what do you guys think?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to export a whole song but I noticed that the tonality of one of my instrument changes completely when it’s rendered, both in the .wav file and during playback in the renoise session. If I reload the instrument the instrument I retrieve my original sound but each time I render the song or the instrument the sound is again altered.
It is supposed to be a soft and mellow pad sound before switching to a much harsher sound which doesn’t fit my track…

I did some experimentation on a new and blank session and the problem is still here. I even tried to record the original sound straight from Renoise just after loading the instrument with third party plugin such as Silverspike TapeIt but again this doesn’t work…

I uploaded the instrument on wetransfer, if it’s any help and if someone can test it and tell me if they find the same problem as me : WeTransfer - Send Large Files & Share Photos Online - Up to 2GB Free

Thanks for your help
