Memory leak when scanning VST3
As per title:
- Launch Renoise 3.3
- Scans for plugins
- Hits Waves Shell 9.92 x64 VST3.
- Sits there using more and more memory until it runs out
Renoise may be incorrectly detecting it as a 32 bit plugin, as it scans the plugin twice, once with ->32 bit appended. (it’s NOT the 32 bit Waves Shell).

VST3 instruments/effects not appearing
[Edit: originally noticed with Reason 11 but it’s apparent for other VST3 plugins also]
Description:
I’ve just installed Renoise 3.3 and several VST3 instruments/effects (including: Reason 11, Dexed, and Ozone9 Elements) aren’t appearing in VST instruments nor effects.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to plugin view (or DSP pane)
- Open list of instruments (or DSP effects)
- Search for Reason/Dexed/Ozone
Expected results:
Listed VST3 plugins appear.
Actual results:
Listed VST3 plugins VST3 plugins do not appear.
Extras:
Due diligence:
- confirmed VSTs in correct directory
- rescanned VST directory
- removed/re-added VST directory
- ensured that Enable VST3 plugins is ticked
- tested that instruments/effects work in another DAW (Reaper)
- definitely in Renoise 3.3 (just in case)
Possibly useful:
- after re-scanning, status bar indicates “Found ‘1’ VST3 effects and ‘0’ VST instruments”
- the detected VST3 effect is Izotope Vocal Doubler

Renoise 3.3 & Redux 1.2 released

See full changelog and announcement at the Renoise Forum

Category: Releases⮚ Renoise 3.3 and Redux 1.2 release
Download
- Registered users can download the update at the Renoise Backstage
- Demo versions are going to be uploaded later today.
What’s new
In summary:
- VST3 plugin support
- Audio Sidechain support for VST2/3 and AU plugins and for some native Renoise FX devices
- a few little other tweaks and fixes
In detail:
-
(Renoise only) VST3 support: The VST2 protocol was deprecated by Steinberg a while ago and replaced with the VST3 protocol. More and more plugins will be available in the new VST3 format only.
VST3 support is by default enabled on Windows and Linux. On OSX it can be enabled in the Renoise Plugin/Misc preferences. Feature-wise, VST3 behaves similar to VST2, but sidechaining is a lot easier to realize in VST3 (see below) and external VST3 editors can more easily be resized - when supported by the plugin. -
(Renoise and Redux) New #Sidechain device (in the Native/Routing sections in Renoise’s Track FX browser), to send audio in tracks or instrument chains to sidechain ports of plugins (VST2/3, AU) and the following native devices: Compressor, Bus Compressor, Gate.
Please note that the sidechain support in VST2s is a bit wonky: The VST2 protocol never had an official way to support side-chains, so the support in hosts and plugins is problematic. The VST3 protocol simplifies this, so it’s preferred to use a VST3 version of a plugin, if available, for side-chaining. -
(Renoise, Linux only): Timing fixes for ALSA MIDI: previous version of Renoise may not have applied note delays in MIDI events correctly.
-
(Renoise and Redux) Alt-Tabbing to Renoise sometimes could have frozen the Renoise GUI for a few seconds when a lot of sub folders were visible in the Renoise Disk Browser.
-
(Renoise and Redux, Linux only): Use XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_DATA_HOME paths on Linux (defaulting to “~/.config/Renoise” and “~/.local/share/Renoise”) to get rid of the Renoise folder in your home directory. The old “~/.renoise” and “~/Renoise” folders are symlinked to the new paths, so older versions of Renoise, when installed, can still use the old paths. If you don’t have older versions of Renoise installed you can remove them.
-
(Renoise and Redux) Various compatibility tweaks and fixes for OSX - but most of them got released in the Renoise 3.2 bug fix updates already: All builds are notarized now, a few drawing fixes for OSX Big Sur, replaced Renoise’s “custom” full screen mode with the standard OSX’ full screen mode for better compatibility in newer versions of OSX.
-
(Renoise only) Lua API changes (new API version is 6.1 - this is a minor, fully backwards compatible update - so all old tools will auto-upgrade). See here for the complete list of changes.
A big thanks for the alpha and beta tester crews who helped to make this happen.
Happy tracking!

M-Audio 192|4 Air - failed to initialize
Hi,
I’m new here and I could not find anything about external soundcard problems. When I start renoise i get the error:
Failed to initialize audio buffers for device ‘primary sound device’. When I try to change it to M-Audio in the preferences I get another error: Failed to initialize audio buffers for device M-Audio… Audio is disabled. I run win10.
Thanks.
Edit: No problems with other software, only renoise.

VSTi: phrase first note gets stuck?
bug-1-1-2021.xrns (8.0 KB)
Attached XRNS is the smallest example of this behavior I could devise in v3.2.4 Windows. The plugin is Synth1 x64, but I also saw the same behavior in PortaFM, SynthMasterOne, Sampletank 4, and IL Harmless.
Basically, the pattern plays as expected within the phrase editor. But once you play it from the pattern view, a stuck note occurs. Then, partway through the phrase, it goes away! It also goes away after MIDI panic, and then resuming the pattern again plays it normally. But once the song loops, the behavior reappears.

Xy device , linked .no indication of recorded automation
Not sure if this is a bug , but can’t recall this behaviour in previous ve rsions
Assign xy controller to a dsp effect , record x (or Y ) parameter in automation lane ( not hex lane )
Altough the automation is recorded , there is no indication on the dsp device itself

Linux VSTi does NOT save plugin options
Renoise v3.2.2, VSTi (VST seems to be fine) doesn’t save chosen plugin options.
For example, i have some problematic plugin like IK Multimedia MODO BASS, which by default uses:
[x] Use static processing buffers [ ] Auto suspend plugin when silent [x] Can run in multi processor environmentsFor this plugin to work properly and be actually usable best options would be:
[ ] Use static processing buffers [x] Auto suspend plugin when silent [x] Can run in multi processor environmentsBut when you set it and reload plugin - they will reset back to defaults above.
@taktik please take a look at that, this is a big problem.
