OSC /renoise/trigger/midi
Hi, everybody! Can anybody explain me how to use “/renoise/trigger/midi” command through OSC?
According to docs, it expects number, so I tried, for example, 0x903C64 as integer (which is note-on message on channel 1, note 60, velocity 100), but nothing happens. Ideally, I would like to send CC messages, as it seems there is no endpoint for them in protocol.

CPU questions (panic and startup state)
I’m just curious. sorry
I’d like to ask why when you load a project the song appears to use relatively very high CPU usage (in my test case 70%) when merely just loaded, a reset/panic by right-click the stop button makes it fall back to ~3%. Why isn’t Renoise started in this panicked/low CPU usage state?
I have a song that reaches max-CPU threshold and Renoise are supposedly doing a panic reset automatically but when it happens it stays high and only fall to around 60%, isn’t it supposed to go to ~3%? is it doing some form of mild panic?
Lastly we all know Renoise CPU usage percentage does not correspond very precisely to the numbers in Win10/Resource Monitor, I wish it made sense because looking at all the CPU cores make you think it’s currently a very inefficient state of affairs for multithreaded applications… Can I ask how Renoise calculate the CPU usage number?

Empty render - again
From time to time (rarely but happens) Renoise renders… silence. Just silence, all zero bytes result. When I render song again - it render ok.
I wonder - what is upgrade plan for Renoise? More often bugfixes or cumulative update every x years? Becuase despite many suggestions, bug reports I’ve read on this forum, I don’t see any new versions informations or even answers with any information that anyone work on 3.3.3. So maybe all that bug reporting and sharing new ideas is just unnecessary?

PadSynth Update - Slider Randomizer?
So, I may have commented on the PadSynth module before, not sure if anybody saw it. Also, I can’t find “drakmaniso”, the maker of this synth. He’s not been on the forum for years, nor in the various places on the Internet that I could find him, and there were several. Could use an update with a ‘random’ button to adjust the various sliders in random ways for even greater tonal output.
PadSynth is an extremely important sample generator. The types of sounds it produces are based on the Paul Nasca synthesis techniques (PaulStretch is his amazing sample-stretcher) and the sounds that PadSynth can make are just stupendous. Absolutely beautiful.
I have used a VST3 by a fella named Ryukau off of GitHub that makes sounds that are based off of this synthesis method; again, the sounds are just out-of-this-world. Watch and listen to this!
So, the PadSynth Tool can make these sounds, but they are not easy to do, because the sliders have to be dragged and there’s 256 of them. Very handy for being tidy, but not for exploring new sounds. Would anybody be up for the challenge of adding a random button for the sliders? “drakmaniso” is nowhere to be found, and an adjustment for something so useful can’t be stepping on any toes.

Glide to a note in a given number of steps
Hi. I’ve read as many articles as I can find but no answers, so posting here. I want to glide a note a full octave in 64 steps. I could do this in Octamed but 25 years later can’t figure out how to do it in Renoise! I’ve tried G and U commands but there’s no interpolate option and I’m giving up on trial and error now. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Copy Bug in Automation Envelope?
Hi,
it seems I’m encountering a bug in Automation Envelopes when I copy envelopes.
When using Envelope Type “Lines” selecting, copying and pasting works fine:
But when I use Envelope Type “Points” the last point is missing after paste:
So I have to make the selection area one step further/behind the last point in the grid to get all points till the last one copied/pasted:
Could someone please explain this behaviour to me or is this a bug?
Many thanks

New tune from I.D. Crisis
Hey, folks - 'bout time we had a new one from me…been lacking in motivation a bit lately.
Actually it’s a completely re-worked old one (different instruments and some differences in composition). Uses Synthmaster 2.9 and a couple of old sci-fi samples.
Let me know what you think; what would you have done differently?

Render Slices to Phrase Pattern Length Half the Number of Expected Beats
Hi there, I’m having possibly quite a noobish problem in Renoise 3.2.1. I have a sliced sample of a break that consists of 2 bars (8 beats) at 12 LPB. I have the beatsync value set to 96 lines and everything is fine when I playback the whole sample. However, after slicing the sample and clicking “Render slices to phrase” I always get a phrase that only lasts 1 bar, so that the whole 2 bar sample is effectively played twice as quickly. I see that expand seems to (almost) correct this, but I don’t think the offsets are calculated correctly as it sounds like there are gaps between the samples.
I’m sure it’s something obvious that I’ve missed but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Something to put up before going out of town
Hey guys.
Since I’m going to be out of town in a couple of days i, I’m just focused on getting as much music just out the door before leaving. So i thought I’d finish up this file that i stopped working on last month or so.
My mouse up and died on me, so I’ve gotten a little more comfortable with really taking advantage of the keyboard shortcuts in Renoise. Honestly, i think it’s made me a little more efficient and faster when it comes to actual workflow in the program.
Since I’m just trying to get tracks out the door, I’ve really been trying to take to heart fast decision making, and really trying not to obsess over really small details and instead, focus on simply getting a tune out as fast as possible.
Just like with the other post i put up about a month ago, I’m sticking to 4 tracks only, I’m really starting to dig the limitation. It honestly feels like producing with rule has made working on a track more intuitive and simple, but in a good way.
As always, any feedback you feel like you’d want to share, feel free to, composition, mixing, a specific section, anything like that.
Well, thanks for reading this little rambling, thanks for giving a listen and i hope you enjoy.

Renoise Freezing
Description of the problem:
So, I’ve recently purchased and downloaded Renoise (last month I think). And it was working fine until it started to have bugs almost everytime I tried to used it (I have some screenshots here: Captura-de-Tela-195 — ImgBB, Captura-de-Tela-196 — ImgBB but overall there were so many bugs that I just gave up, anyways)
So I had enough and wanted to report about this new bug that won’t let me work, for some reason Renoise is presenting random freezes (example: 2021-06-29 16-53-59-1 in the video you can see it has nothing to do with a vst or cpu/ram consumption) it just freezes the grid, it doesn’t let me scroll/play/pause.
Steps to reproduce look like this:
I dont have a clue, it’s random, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t think there’s a constant (not that I’m aware of), it just happens. A few minutes ago I tried opening and closening it 3 times to no avail (when I decided to record the video above). The other DAWs I work (Reaper and Live, use the same audio settings in every DAW) are working just fine. I’m on Windows 20H2 (if that matters). I’m going to reinstall it again (I’d made a clean reinstall when the bugs first started). I’m kinda disappointed since it prevents me from working but this is a bug report and I’m aware it’s besides the point so I apologize if I talked too much.
EDIT: restarted my pc and its working fine for now, didn’t have to go through the reinstall

Difficulty dragging VST3 effects to track
Hi, Windows 10 Enterprise Edition… 10th gen Core i7, 16 megs ram, ssd… Renoise 3.3.2
Dragging VST3 effects to the track can be done, but it doesn’t seem to be smooth, and sometimes it doesn’t work, and I have to select the track in the mixer and double click on the effect

Carla 2 VST not working on Windows?
Hi there.
I have been trying to use Carla v2.3.0 VST on Renoise for windows (on Windows 10) but it seems it is not detecting it correctly. Instead of showing the different list of carla plugins in the list, it shows just the shell file (it uses a shell vst file system, similar to Waves plugins). If I try to load it it just crashes Renoise.
It shows and loads fine in any other DAW or VST host I have tried (for instance, Kushview Element or Waveform 9 and 11.5).
Carla by the way is a very interesting and useful open source plugin host with both rack and modular functionality. So it could be a really useful “addon” to use in combination with Renoise.
The thing is I have been reading here in the forum about people talking in relation to it working through wine in the linux version of Renoise.
So I would like to know if this is something that is not working only for me or is it something that needs to be fixed in Renoise for windows ?
Thank you very much.
