Dealing with "CC Pairs" and hardwired midi mapping
since i use a novation summit with renoise, following questions have risen:
Prerequisites: Renoise 3.3.1, Novation Summit connected via USB, no active midi mappings
-
when tweaking Summit’s “OSC1 Course”, Midi CC 14 is being sent to renoise which is happily received by the instrument editor’s Key-Scale option and therefore cycles through its various key options. this happens unintentionally and i have not found a way to stop the instrument editor from receiving this and other CC (CC15 & CC9 will also change scaling / quantization stuff). please let me know if i’m missing something here.
-
Summit supports 255 unique values for single parameters like “Frequency Cutoff” and sends CC29 from 0-127 and CC61 toggling between 0 and 64 for every CC29 increment, to end up with 255 different values. afaik it’s called “CC Pairing” and it seems that renoise will always receive the secondary “on/off” portion (CC61) of the pair, which in return ends up in a switch-like behaviour of the learned target parameter, which is of course not what i am looking for. is there a way to edit the CC61 to CC29 afterwards?
thanks in advance.

( 3.3.1) No prompt to load autosaved file after crash on startup?
if I remember well, 3.2.2 asked me to load my crashed song i’ve been working when I started renoise again?
or am i completely wrong and maybe confused with an other daw?

Beatsync / Time Stretch adjustment from Pattern Editor
I don’t think this is something the end-user can do. I was fiddling around with a loop, and found that I can adjust its length of playback time in the ‘Beatsync’ area, along with keeping same pitch. Then I was looking at the actual number of lines it’s syncing to, and I then wondered -
Is there a way to adjust this number from the Pattern Editor?
Nothing apparent. It would be handy to be able to take a loop and stretch it from the Pattern Editor, could make all sorts of neat loop adjustments.
Maybe I’m missing something?

What and why do you use for mastering in Renoise
Hi there,
I was just curious how you are dealing with mastering in Renoise.
Are you using Renoise devices, plugins? Or do you prefer mastering outside Renoise?
By myself I do both. I have two default mastering chaines made up of Renoise devices. But also many times I prefer to export multitrack and mix and master in a Linair DAW.
How is yours?

Controlling a VST's program or bank via MIDI controller
Could anyone help me understand how I can use my MIDI controller keyboard’s buttons to shuttle through available sound banks and presets in a VST? The closest I can get is to use Prg-Change slider in MIDI control that corresponds to the patch number of the VST. But when I assign it to a button it goes from 1 to 127. What I want is to assign one button to increase the pPrg-Change each time I press it, and another button to decrease it each time I press that.

A couple of suggestions for future updates!
I know how much the dev(s) work on Renoise, and I love it so much. However, it would be super nice if there were options in Renoise to:
- Assign an instrument to a particular track and hide all instrument columns
- Move the pattern editor further to the left side, such that the only thing showing on it is the orange boxes
- Double click to select a track
- Ctrl + Mousewheel to change pitch when a note is selected
- Have the delete key delete everything in a selection
These are just very minor nitpicks, but honestly they would speed up a lot of people’s workflow in my opinion, especially because these
are common options in other popular trackers, such as Fasttracker and Famitracker. Thanks!

MIDI Monitor to show mapped features
Hi. It’s easy to forget wich Button, Slider & POT is mapped to wich function.
I think it would be nice to see in the MIDI monitor, a column showing “Mapping”
When you move a controller or press a button you will se in the monitor if you have mapped it or not.
The MIDI mapping window is small and it takes time to figure out which CC or note represent what on your MIDI Controller

Is there plugin delay compensation on the line-in device?
Hi,
This is a topic I’m struggling with for years and I’ve finally come to a plausible conclusion. Other will probably say it’s obvious, but it wasn’t for me.
I can’t get my TR909 or any other drummachine or x0x0bx to play in pace with Renoise. When I use the line-in device and pass the audio from my TR909 through, the 909 is always a half a beat late.
I always thought it had something to do with the clocks of my midi card and the 909 that were not in sync, but now I finally realized that it is the audio latency that causes the gap between Renoise and my outboard gear. The latency is so big, that I can’t fix it with setting the clock out delay to negative or positive values anymore.
When I have no vst’s or plugins or whatsoever on my tacks, the latency is much less, and when I add more plugins, the PDC compensates the delay for all the plugins so in the box all my vsts and audio runs smoothly in sync and pace with each other. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with the line-input device.
Is pdc also working on the line input device? And if not, why not? I think the line-in device deserves the same compensation as other devices have. Or am I missing the point?
Thanks for your time!
(I almost bought a 400,- hardware clock, but I don’t think it will solve my problems)

Full stop via midi
Somehow I can stop my synths running via Stop mouse click (2 times sometimes). Though via midi command Renoise pattern head stops, but (AU) synths still running.
Anyone experience same behaviour?

Zebra 2 discussion
Hi,
I would like to discuss in here about Zebra 2 usage. I think it is still one of the best sounding VSTis and has so many possiblities I yet didn’t fully explore.
I start with a question: Can I transfer a waveform from Geomorph to Spectroblend mode and vice versa? Is it possible to somehow “autoconvert” it forth and back?

Tal vocoder help
Hi! I’m trying to get the tal vocoder up and running and I’m hitting a snag. I’m as of yet unable to use the vst synth sounds to robot the voice track. If someone could describe the track setup for how to do this that would be great.
I figured out how to use my own instrument sounds to effect the vocal track using a track group and panning the voice one way and the synth the other way. But no luck yet on using the vocoders built in synth sounds. Any advice? Thanks!

Short circuit is now open source
The short circuit sampler by vember audio was set free back in 2007 and now it’s finally now open source .
I wonder since it’s opens source , could the developers take any of the features/dsp algo’s of short circuit into renoise or would it mean an extra hassle to add these in a commercial product ?

GridPie Alternative Duplex app idea
Hi programmers of Renoise, I need your help.
As I really want to use renoise in live situations I need a tool to trigger tracks nonlinear with my midi controller. The Duplex Gridpie has some flaws.
1 running jack on linux, when renoise is jack transport master and gridpie is enabled the transport just breaks. Violently flashes start/stop etc.
2when in record mode and sequencing patterns, gridpie wants to create new patterns to record the mixing and mashing of tracks. however this is also broken and just randomly creates new patterns.
So I was trying to look at it but damn it has like 3000+ lines of code and I wouldnt know where to begin looking for whats causing trouble.
Instead I was thinking about simple functionality that would even make Gridpie better. Let me try to put this into words:
Instead only working in the pattern at the bottom, you can be anywhere in the pattern matrix. no restrictions, no mutes.
the basic concept
when a track from another sequence is triggered, this track will be aliased to the one in the pattern that is playing.
issues
as we dont want to loose the contend of the track that is being overwritten with the alias, it might be stored in a table (thats how i imagine it as a none programmer) so that it can be restored when the button for the aliased track is released again.
further fuctionality
1 copy instead of alias.
When a button of a track is held and during that another button is pressed, the content of the first track is copied to the second, without using an alias
1.1 if that second track is out of range, create new patterns
2 mute
when the button of the track in the active pattern is pressed, the track gets muted
3 simple record
when in record mode activating a pattern will result in another copy action. But this time only the pattern below the cursor is copied.
implementation
there needs to be a navigator of course for when the grid of the midi controller is smaller than the number of tracks and patterns.
to jump around patterns it needs pattern trigger/looper like found on the matrix duplex application (without the short delay when switching patterns)
In my imagination of a non programmer this seems reasonably easy to implement. but of course im missing the big picture. but these are all functions that renoise lua api should include without too much hacking.
Please let me know what you think about this. If and why it actually isnt that easy. If you would like to help me with it. If you could point me in the right direction or give me a headstart on how i would approach a concept of writing that program.
I really am in need of a reliable tool for live playing and using bitwig with redux just isnt enough of renoise.
Thanks for your help!

Any programmers capable and willing to fix GridPie?
I would really love to use this tool but it is giving me such a headache @danoise seems like he doesnt have the time to look at it but Id even be willing to pay something if I could just finally use renoise in live situations

How do you play live?
As tools like lauflicht, gridpie, cells etc. aren’t supported by newer versions of renoise I fell like this question might be of interest to many of us here.
How do you guys integrate renoise in a live setup?
