I just made this here: It’s not my usual genre but as I rediscovered the magic of Renoise recently and as I am actually now really planning to produce a full album, you might want to listen to this.

I don’t know where I get these weird names from but this one of the last songs made before making the plunge into quitting dope (I was high). That day I was finishing it up I woke up on the floor with tourniquet still on my arm and a needle in my hand. That was a relapse. I felt fine that day because I tapered off in a very smooth controlled way. I ruined it and made myself feel more sick 2 days later then I any other day. The song was inspired by all the fighting, suicidal depression, the stupid girl I was involved in who first let me have a threesome with her and her other friend and ended with her putting a knife to my throat after she once again extorted money out of my stupid ass and I threatened to crash the car and kill both of us if she didn’t give me my money back. I realized most people who I thought were friends were there to just use me… It’s amazing how clear the world looks now. So much detail. Everything was a low-rez blur past year or so.

Hello good people!

I’m picking up my old Renoise addiction and all that misses is a good midi keyboard (with extra pads would be nice).
Any suggestions? Budget doesn’t matter to much.

Drop your knowledge and experiences.

Thanks!

Hi. All of a sudden when I hit record the track I’m recording into starts populating with loads of delay, panning and instrument numbers. Even if I hit record and don’t touch anything on my keyboard but just let the song play it keeps adding in all this stuff.

Hi guys!

I’m recording a hiphop album with some friends for fun and would love to have a Renoise built track on it. Also to learn how to make hiphop in Renoise in the future. I started out using trackers and Renoise in the early 2000’s for hardstyle mostly but want to pick it up again. If someone can make me (or has) a great hiphop beat I would love to buy it!. Name a price! I would like the xrns file so I can learn and adjust things while making the song. I would like a old skool type beat (bit jazzy or funky is nice as well). I’m not lazy but just out of the producing game for a while and don’t want to go to the regular websites for a track.

Hope someone can help!

MONO / POLY INPUT A GLOBAL CONTROL.

Is there a solution ,

how come this is not an option ?

plenty of space on the transport bar to fit the controls options:

Mono / on off .

Poly / on off . toggle ^

and 0 to 8 - up down . i.e restrict Mono Poly to No change 0 , 1 lane to 8 lanes aka notes to be played / recorded.

Fixes most of the issues , using a midi keyboards / computer keyboard while recording notes, monophonic lines or chords. or chords limited to an amount of lanes or polyphonic notes . 2 or 3 etc.
If this is not an option in 2021 , can someone forward it to the bods upstairs .

dont tell me theres a plugin to do this??

——————————

From the manuals WITH EDITS ,

Polyphonic vs. Monophonic Recording

Sequential (monophonic) recording can often be better when recording drums or monophonic instruments. The Mono button allows you to toggle between recording a single note at a time or multiple notes simultaneously (chords). This is located in the Instrument Properties panel, found at the top right of the interface in Redux and near the top right while in the Sampler, Plugin and MIDI tabs of Renoise.

When entering notes step by step with the computer keyboard, they will by default be placed sequentially. If you want to quickly insert chords without live recording, you can do this by holding down “Left Shift” *WHY WHY WHY CRAZY LOL * …. while entering the notes. This will automatically create new note columns to the right and enter the new notes there. THE MONO POLY BUTTON WOULD FIX THAT Holding shift why why why…

Note that MIDI keyboards will always record chords when pressing more than one key at a time. <— REALLY!! To quote " (monophonic) recording can often be better when recording drums or “ , then why is there no MONO / POLY option globally ??

^^^ exactly why there needs to be a GLOBAL CONTROL FOR MONO POLY INPUT .

Tip , put it in the transport bar.

PLEASE

I came back to my computer after leaving Renoise open for a few days and the Log.txt file had bloated to 60GB and filled up the rest of my hard drive space. It seems Renoise had been writing the following error message over and over:

I would expect there to be some guard to stop a repeating error message from filling up all hard drive space.

I want to experiment with the Formula Device but I don’t know how to begin.

I understand the premise of the device. It’s take inputs, runs formulas, and generates an output based on those formulas that can be mapped to a desired location. No problems there.

My issue is with the actual creation of the formulas themselves. I have no idea how to write them or how to get started writing them. I’ve read the “help” menu details in the device with all the listed “variables” “math constants” “musical variables” & “functions” and I can grasp their purpose in that they are what is used to create the formulas, but again, I have no idea how to actually write my own formulas using them.

What do I need to study so I can get started with this?

Do I need to learn a specific type of math used for DSP math like trigonometry? Do I need to learn the LUA programming language to write formulas? And if so there any specific resources like websites, books, etc, that I should refer to learn from?

Thanks

Not really sure this is a Renoise thing, so I posted this in this category.

I recently got myself a GoXLR Mini mostly to be able to mix audio when I’m streaming easier. The problem I have now (which I didn’t have pre GoXLR) is that when any audio is played outside Renoise I can see the VU-meter (in Renoise) react to that audio. Doesn’t matter if I use the GoXLR Asio Driver or DirectSound using different audio devices. The GoXLR creates a bunch of devices so you can control audio with the faders on the devide.

Before I used an old Focusrite Scarlet Solo audio interface and didn’t have this problem.

Anyone had any similar experience?

Was messing around with a snare drum sound, and suddenly this thing appears!

In hindsight some bass plucks would really amp up the sneak, how could I forget?

Hi all,

Still embarrassingly new to Renoise, and specifically to mixing & mastering. I recently learned about ISO 226:2003 and the concept of equal loudness contours; specifically, that not only do different parts of the frequency spectrum need to be played at different sound pressures (“physical” volumes) in order to be perceived as being equally loud (same “subjective” volume), but that this contour varies slightly (flattens off) as the reference volume increases. I’m also starting to develop the habit of using my eyes as well as my ears: for example, I only recently noticed that when viewing the spectrum in Renoise as a curve (rather than spectrogram), the frequency contribution of the currently highlighted track is actually overlaid on the total curve in the current track’s colour!

I get that there’s no such thing as a magical ISO 226:2003 mastering plugin, that it’s all subjective, and that it can even vary by genre - mids get a perceptual boost at higher volumes, so to a certain extent, mastering for a “target listening volume” is a thing, and explains why plugins like Fletchy-Muncher exist. Also that you shouldn’t just target full loudness across the spectrum across a whole track; again of course norms & expectations vary across genres, but dynamic variation is definitely a good thing!

That said, there does seem to be an obvious gap in Renoise’s built-in visualisation tools here. Anyone know of any tools that visually overlay one or more target equal loudness contours over the spectrum? Any monitoring VSTs that do something like this? Is it something that could be written in Lua as a Renoise script? (I haven’t played with scripting at all yet, I have no idea whether scripts have the ability to draw on the UI.) I recently laid down half a track, thought it was really well balanced, when when I went back the next day, realised the mix was all over the place: far too prominent snare, and the lead just completely drowned out the vocals. I know the concept of “tired ears” or “losing your ear” for a track is a thing, but maybe being able to see it better might help combat this.

My tracks may not be musical masterpieces, but I am trying to at least get the “best sounding” versions of my tracks out there, preferably without spending a ton of money on studio monitors I already had one bad experience releasing a track only to discover later that the bass completely swamps the mix in listening conditions other than my “studio” (AKA the spare bedroom at home), and I feel like being able to get a visual feel for this rather than relying purely on my ears & listening on a variety of headphones/speakers would help to reign in problem frequencies, or understand why something sounds muddy.

I remixed a trance-track by Vincent Lee, who is some sort of famous youtuber/twitch-Streamer here in germany. His channel deals about music production with primary ableton but in this case he tested to work with FLStudio. As he could not finish his track, he uploaded the stems and asked the community to remix this track.

I did it.

With Renoise in Linux. Here’s the Result.

Strange behaviour - pluigns (like Vital for example) drains CPU before they start to be using. I mean - I have for example 10 Vital instruments and after I load song, CPU is instantly go to 99.9% and song plays choppy. BUT - when I play them one by one - CPU usage decreasing (every instrument/plugin activation - when it starts playing) and remains at lower level after instruments ends playing.

Why is it 99.9% anyway if I see in system that IDLE process is about 70% at the same time?

CPU: i7-8700k @ 4.7 GHz

Not sure if this is possible but is there a way to sync a wave to another wave’s pitch inside the sampler?
I think its called oscillator sync

For more information on what I’m referring to to:
(I skipped to the part where he shows what it sounds like)

Oscillator sync is a feature in some synthesizers with two or more VCOs, DCOs, or "virtual" oscillators. As one oscillator finishes a cycle, it resets the period of another oscillator, forcing the latter to have the same base frequency. This can produce a harmonically rich sound, the timbre of which can be altered by varying the synced oscillator's frequency. A synced oscillator that resets other oscillator(s) is called the master; the oscillators which it resets are called slaves. There are two ...

Hi all,

I am wondering if there is a way to quantize live automation events. For instance, say I am using a repeater on my percussion bus and want my repeater mode and divisor events to only trigger/register every X number of lines. Do we have a way to do this? Via tool or natively?

Much thanks for any help!

Bear with me

I’m working on a song which source derives from a midi score generated in another program. Unfortunately, for some reason the first note event of the imported midi file doesn’t start at line number 0 in the pattern editor in Renoise, but at line number 16. To make matters ‘worse’ there are different time signatures in the midi structure and the complete song is spread over 64 length patterns, so pattern starts don’t necessarily equal the start of so say bridge, chorus, verses etc. Sections can start in the beginning, middle or end of a pattern.

In this particular song I’d like to emphasize certain notes from the beat track, doubling the kick with another sound in another track. So for every time the kick sounds, on the same line on another track I’d like to layer it with another sample. Being that the song structure is all jumbled, I can’t just manually do 1 pattern myself and simply copy this all throughout, it will go out of sync eventually, to much labor to fix everything .

Ideally I’d like a tool in which you can set a ‘reference’ instrument, track and note event key in the tool gui, for example; F#302 in track 2 and set the desired other instruments note event key & destination track, lets say C-407 in track 1. Bonus points if you could also set a pattern range. E.g; find & layer between pattern 4-8, this so you have more flexibility layering stuff across sections.

Pretty sure I’ve asked for something similar before, not sure any more if a tool came out or something like this already exists? If so please let me know!

edit;

@vvoois once made an Instrument Chainer tool ( New Tool: Instrument Chainer (Experimental) ), but it looks obsolete after the old forum migration and also was a realtime solution handy when creating, not something which scans a song file and offline generates the new input like I propose above.
