Wonk by cybrcvltx
I purchased Renoise probably like 8 years ago but didn’t really use it. I used to makes tunes on my Amiga using Protracker & OctaMED when I was a kid. Anyway, I recently have a go at making tunes with Renoise and that old spirit has come back to me a little. This tune is very unfinished but I’m extrememly happy that I’m able to make music quite similar and to the standard (nearly) of the music that I actually listen to. Also all of the other recent tunes on my soundcloud are made with Renoise. All of them works in progress.

Best Trackers for Old Netbooks >>>
Got an Acer Aspire One Netbook WinXP 32bit I sport around…Probably the worst audio system & drivers ever as it seemed like they added an actual sound system as an afterthought…
Decided to try different Trackers to see if one would actually work…RAM & Speed not an issue but getting ASIO to function without massive buffer or just locking up no good…
Being able to use VSTs a must OR a very intense sampler…
Dislike MODplug-Psycle so didn’t test…
Tried every version of Renoise I could grab but all no luck no matter what the audio out used…
But there were also surprises too…IoNeo Aero Studio worked great just hooking direct like it does and loading up still no issue…
MED Soundstudio 2.1 also worked great but unstable though…Like some of the quirks like saving song as an EXE with the animated song banner pretty cool…
MADtracker was good but not great as well as Aodix 4.2 which is one of the best for organic composing as you simply plug in your notes via controller or keyboard into pattern then use the vertical piano roll to adjust even placing notes underneath others & adjusting lengths…
Big surprise was SVArTracker which was super easy on audio system but also sounded great. Takes a bit to learn as it is developed to the ‘tune of a different drummer’ but is very capable. There is a thread on here from a long time ago where renoisers pretty much shit mouthing SVArTracker and the DEV (Who is Russian) had a professional & non-combative response…
But I’m using the only released free version (1.22) and don’t see any of those supposed flaws. Uses VSTs but is not a ‘scanner’ (like Aero Studio) you just pick your DLL (Thank God) and so far always works…
You can link to audio editor and the internal AntiMatter Sampler is quite good & can load up soundfonts & such…
Hooking up in machine view is more complex but still like this way no matter what But still works great on crappy audio system…
Dev is gone since last year so no luck buying new…Version 1.22 was the only free one…From 1.23 to 1.30 was commercial again with a 64 bit added too…
You can get the freeware off wayback here-

Dev has some vids on Youtube from 2 years ago-
YouTube Va ArЭволюция, программирование, лайфхаки, музыка и смысл жизни.
Great Tracker but you’ll have to spend more than 2 minutes attempting to discount it…
And certainly more than capable of the ‘PlaySkool’ syncopations with filter sweeps that are everywhere (and always have been)…

Best way to separate EastWest instruments
Hi,
I am interested in automatically creating a separate (logically named) xrni file for each of the east west .ewi instruments I own.
The way EastWest Play works is that it is a single plugin, but there’s a keyboard shortcut within the plugin editor to choose a specific ewi instrument (e.g. tremolo strings, distortion guitar) based on its filename. Unfortunately, the parameters in the Instruments.xml of an xrni of an ewi instrument are encrypted, so I can’t just change the filename there.
I have a list of all of the ewi instruments I own. How can I use lua scripting or some other method to repeatedly create an instrument instance, open the plugin editor, use the keyboard shortcut to select an ewi, and then save and rename the instrument as an xrni? In particular, all of these seem straightforward except using the keyboard inside the plugin editor.

Stop pattern moving around when scrolling?
how to stop pattern scrolling around when moving the cursor?
This behaviour is annoying, because I lose track where I am in the pattern.
Any ideas?

Redux Sampler Questions
This is my first time here, and first time using any Renoise products, so I am about to install Redux Sampler demo to try it out, as I’ve only just discovered this from some Youtube tutorials that I fell upon!
It looks very good…
As a Serato Sample user, how does it compare with the timestretching and key shifting?
Can you record audio directly and destructively like an audio editor within Redux? or does it have to be imported and cut elsewhere?
Also does Redux work on MacOS 10.13.6?
Are there any Serato Sample users here, that also use Redux, as i’d like to see the differences between the two
Thank you for any help

Are Renoise songs loaded entirely in RAM?
Something I’ve been curious about. I think maybe so because Renoise doesn’t do disk streaming, but I’m not sure (maybe it does stream samples from inside its packed folder). Basically I’m wondering if the computer’s RAM is the limiting factor for how much sample data you can have in a song.

Native Instruments VSTs unresponsive behaviour
Hi everyone!
As previously said by few of the members,NI plugins are not really responsive, and I have faced this (like trying to swim in the pool of honey), but yesterday I have tried to manipulate with the sound in Massive X and not been capable to move an axon of the line (see attachment)
I’ve tried to switch colour profile (workaround for UI lag) shrink the window…
Doesn’t help anything

Redux 1.1.4 fails to scan in Bitwig 3.3 (OSX Mojave)
I just updated to Redux 1.1.4, and Bitwig (v3.3) fails to scan it successfully. The following pop-up warning appears in bitwig, and if you do not hit ‘skip’, it goes on forever.
I’ve had to revert to 1.1.2 as a result. This system is on OSX Mojave.

⮚ Renoise 3.2.4 and Redux 1.1.4 betas released (fixing blank window issue with OSX Big Sur)
… the builds are tagged as betas in the Backstage at https://backstage.renoise.com but will be released as they are as final versions.
They only do fix compatibility issues with OSX Big Sur which got released yesterday.
There’s no need to update on Windows and Linux.
The “missing” Renoise 3.2.3 release never was released, as it only contained a fix for a ASIO driver issue in Renoise which didn’t affect many users. Sorry for the confusion.
We actually didn’t planed to release yet another bug fix release, but wanted to go ahead with Renoise 3.3, which still in the making and to be announced soon
