Renoise Forum

Hello forum.

Just purchased Renoise and made song #1.

After trying the demo a few times and feeling befuddled, I decided to enter the Renoise universe.

Enjoy the simplicity and minimalism of the application.

Rock On!

I can’t find it for the life of me in the assign shortcuts section in preferences. It’s driving me kinda bonkers that you can assign show/hide short cuts for every little thing EXCEPT this panel. Please tell me it’s just hidden somewhere other than where it should be in the global>view section, because I’ve been looking for it for an hour now haha. Thanks!

Hey all ! sorry for this kind of “listen to my life” post, but I’ve been reading Renoise forums for a few days now and it brought back some memories from my younger days.

I didn’t find an Introduction section or topic so this post will also contain some context about me.

First of all, even though I speak about my younger days, I’m only 26, but started music production when I was around 12, spending most of my times between my DAW (ableton live / logic at the time) and some french forums about music production.
I mostly produce electronic music, but I explored different kind of sounds over that time, mostly club-oriented: electro-trash, fidget-house, house, hip-hop, techno, rave, trance, breakbeat, drum n bass, minimal… I may forgot some. (I had different alias depending on the period, maybe some soundcloud/beatport/itunes links are still out there)

Growing up, I became a Software Engineer and, spending already a lot of time on my computer for work, stopped music production slowly.

Every now and then, I felt like I had to start again and tried, but it didn’t last long for different reasons: with all that time without producing anything, I lost my habits and I feel my level is a bit lower than it used to on some points, and have to re-learn basic features of my DAWs.

My last attempt at getting back at music production was focused on breaks music with techno sonorities and a touch of idm, but was a failed attempt because I felt pretty limited with drum programming. Actually not limited, but it took ages and what not that enjoyable.

A few days ago, I bought a new laptop and decided it could be time to start doing some music production again. For the reasons above, I wanted to try out Renoise, mostly to make my drum programming process more enjoyable since this is one of my favorite parts of the electronic music I listen to and can add a lot. The first few hours, I understood nothing and could barely place a note on the grid, when reading the forum, I understood nothing about vocabulary. I almost gave up, but decided to watch the beginner tutorial series of the youtube channel, which are amazing!

When I finally felt I grasped the feel of Renoise, I realized that this workflow what was I was always looking for, but without knowing it: with classic DAWs, I was stuck in some kind of “way to do”, really really conventional, even though it’s been years I’ve been looking to leave this aspect of my music to go to a more rough and natural form art, putting some of the “codes” in the trash.
With renoise, I finally feel that I can focus on what I like the most, and make what I used to find boring in my production process enjoyable, so I bought it after 1 day of experimentations, and it’s been 2 days I’ve been working on different ideas.

I now have a pretty advanced track ongoing, and hope that Renoise will also help me finish tracks, since I was always bored with adding details, but I feel it will be different now !

Also, it happens often in my life that I focus a lot on something I like for a few weeks and then leave it forever. It happens a lot with music production, so we’ll see if Renoise will finally make me stick to it again, and meet back with my passion…

Sorry for that long message, you can take it both as some love toward renoise, and my introduction post to this beautiful community.

Hi Folks,
Could someone point me in the direction of comprehensive videos to help me learn Renoise?
The ones out there are pretty basic; any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

A while back I created a device chain that partly used the gate device and 1.400ms of track delay to get nearly sample perfect instant attack, which overall seemed like a bit of a hack. The purpose was to be able to generate very percussive sounds out of just about any sample, where the instant attack is imperative.

It isn’t a situation where I can use the instrument AHDSR since my purpose requires track based fx, not instrument chain. (this is where most users realize instant changes aren’t possible with the LFO device since there’s always a one-tick ramp at the beginning).

I was reading a thread recently about the signal follower device and its “lookahead” setting, so I’ll be trying that next, but what are some other solutions for track based native fx that can create instant changes that aren’t uncontrollably ramped?

I have never built a tool and have no background in coding.

Wondering if anyone has thought to build a formula device that would allow the trackpad to manipulate the cursor to speed up/slowdown/pause playback…?

I saw Nags built a tutorial for scratching in '07 but got some 404 responses when I attempted to click through.

I’d like to step up and teach myself how to build tools for Renoise using LUA this year. I know that the first thing you need is a “proper use case”.

anyhow, peace to all Renoise users on a global scale

I thought that there was a way to turn Effects on and off and use sliders and have those recorded into the Edit track? I thought it was right click or something similar, and turn things on and off as the track is being played; do I have to add something else for that to work?

Thanks in advance.

I spent a bunch of time reading through the forum trying to find a good solution for having a classic kickstart/lfotool style doofer to get simple ducking/side chaining.

I found a few options but all of them are relatively awkward because you cannot easily reset the lfo via a doofer parameter and I didn’t want to go for a key trigger approach where I need to have a dummy track.

So instead I hacked together a slightly different option where rather than trying to carefully control resetting back to the start, I use a formula device to control the position in the LFO fully. This also has the advantage that it automatically synchronizes if you change your LBP.

Hello!
I have a problem with Renoise and my Uno Synth Pro:
The synth is midi-slave of Renoise and it works, but I can’t choose the program number 129 and +.

In the output device menu of Renoise, the program number is 0 → 128. I try to modify the bank, the mode, the midi cable / usb cable, but nothing changes. I can’t select the program 129 and beyond.

Can you help me?
Thanks a lot!

Would it be possible, if i have a pattern playing which uses a multitude of different samples, single samples and samples from within different instrument kits,to build a tool which locates all the different samples playing in that pattern, to pick them out and generate a new instrument kit which contains all the samples playing within that pattern?

Any help would be appreciated. I am running Sierra 10.12 on Renoise 3.2.
I have tried going thru all the possible errors listed in the install pdf (using .wav files, checked that the hidden files for cdp and soundloom, deactivated gatekeeper) and… still… I get this error message. I also read that if you open an empty sample in the samples or instruments that could also help (a possible glitch) but I am still getting no results…

Any suggestions out there? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

I vaguely remember an old Renoise tool that did this(?)…but in Ableton or Fl Studio (can’t find the youtube video real quick) there is a way to extract the shape of your waveform into the automation editor, so you can for example invert it to have a wet parameter ramp up when the amplitude of a sound goes down and/or apply further manipulation.

Very crude example , extract the valleys and peaks from;

And have it look something like this in the automation editor, either being visual for the exact time length of the sample or stretched all across ;

Someone remember the Renoise script which could do this, or an able scripter can help out?

ps; I know about the signal follower, but need a more hardcoded, visual approach for cool editing options this can offer.

Some plugins do not save their state (or restore) when fx chain is saved and then load again.
For example 2B Warble. It saves parameters good with project, but not as part of fx chain if I want to save it and load into another project.

(Speed Beach | second heat (Synthwave, Retrowave, Retroheat) - YouTube)

so after learning more about mixing i definetly can tell how badly mixed my last track was, open to more discussion on what is wrong and needs to addressed in the new track, hope you like it, its a bit different from the last two songs i made in renoise

Ok so this is a bit cheeky but can anyone out there build a simple tool for me,basically what im looking for is a little tool that lets me select a range in the instrument list for example 10 - 2F and when i have a sample or samples selected in the pattern editor and load the tool i can just press a button and it shifts all selected samples incrementally between this range starting from 10 and finishes at 2F. Maybe there is already a way to do this other than manually typing each instrument hex number in?

So basically when multiple samples are selected,i can just set a range and each time i press the button it changes all the samples to the first hex number in the range i set,press again and they shift to the second hex number and so on.

The attack on the evelope-signal follower is NEVER instant ,even when set to 0ms
And for some reason the lookahead is greyed out

Howdy there

Perhaps you might find this useful. Input is compared against Threshold, Output is 1.0 when Input is greater than or equal to Threshold, Output is 0.0 when Input is less than Threshold
