I used string harmonics to make an almost medieval organ sound which sets the mood quite nicely in the opening, and the rest just sorta happened…

I wrote this track to be less like a menace (for now!), though it does poke through cheekily. Whatcha think?

Imagine when adding an FX that your search query already highlight the best match so you can just press enter and have it inserted. Keep the textfield in focus so you can quickly add in a chain of effects.

I tend to use a MIDI keyboard to record musical chords, typically with a piano instrument.

Lately I’ve been interested in learning what chords I’ve played so I can try to recreate them on guitar.

I wrote a short Ruby program that reads an XML file and prints the note data.

You need to have the Nokogiri gem installed.

To use it, select a pattern, copy it (e.g. ctrl-c on Windows), then create a text file named pattern.xml and paste into it (ctrl+v).

Run the script in the same folder as this pattern XML file.

require 'nokogiri' @doc = Nokogiri::XML(open "pattern.xml") @lines_data = {} @doc.xpath("//Line[@index]").each do |line| note = line.xpath("NoteColumns/NoteColumn/Note").text @lines_data[ line[:index].to_i ] ||= [] @lines_data[line[:index].to_i] << note end @lines_data.keys.sort.each do |line| puts "Line #{line}: #{@lines_data[line] }" end

The usual caveats: Works for James, “tested” via practical usage, useful hack to solve a simple problem.

Hey everyone,

Simple question: I’ve seen people do this in screenshots but cannot find the commands for it. I want to group patterns in the pattern editor together, i.e. “intro” “ambient section”, etc. so I can find stuff more easily. How is this done? Thanks!

I was just searching the internet for this, but could not find anything.

Why is there no such thing as a single-file music album format? That is, a single file with the album cover as the icon, that contains all songs (in lossy or lossless format), and can be played by a music player. Basically something like a digital Audio-CD. I think a self-contained single file would make much more sense than having a folder with the single songs.

Does anyone know if there is something like this and I just missed it?

Hi everybody,

I wanted to use Reason Rack Plugin within Renoise, but I was having trouble getting it to work.

Problems

1. Reason Rack Plugin is a VST3 (Not currently supported).
2. The Reason Players didn’t work.

Fixes

1. I could get the RRP working using the vstwrappers. (See : Support Vst 3???).

2. The Renoise Players didn’t work still when sending midi out and I really wanted to use the players (probably because the wrapper didn’t support it?).

So what I did for this was download and install Kushview Elements (https://kushview.net/). This cost $2, although it’s free is you build it yourself - I can’t personally!

a. Once installed, load up the standalone version of Elements and scan your VST plugins. Close Elements.
b. Then go to Renoise, and scan for VSTs.
c. Now load up the plugin KV_Elements into Renoise.
d. Open the plugin KV_Elements and select Reason Rack Plugin.
e. Choose the Reason player of your choice (I have only tested Scales & Chords).
f. Ensure MIDI Out is there in your Reason Rack, if not, drag it in place.

g. Go back to Reason and on the next instrument down (01 in my case), choose your INSTRUMENT VST you want to use.

h. Go back again to Renoise. select the instrument KV_Element VST, go to the plugin tab in Renoise and under MIDI Routing on the left, choose the VST Instrument you chose in point g (01). (This should route all midi you play as INSTRUMENT 00 through to this VST)

i. Open up the KV_Element VST again and connect the orange dots on the panel (see attached image).

Now when you play instrument 00, it will send the midi from the Reason Rack Plugin through to the 01 VST correctly.

!! Remember to match the scale you choose in the Scales & Chords to the Scale in Renoise (Instrument 00), else it sends a “bum” note and doesn’t auto-transpose it.

I think that made sense, but I hope it helps someone. Was longer than I expected it to be, but it is quite simple (I did it!)

If there’s an easier way, let me know, but until we get VST3 support this was the only way I could find that worked for me.

Edit:

1. Also, on the KV_Element VST, press the [EXT] in the top left for it to match your tempo in Renoise, etc.
2. Changed the instructions above as I mistyped Reason and Renoise twice

Heya, I’m wondering if there’s a hidden setting or a config file I can edit to hide my license name when I boot Renoise up. I wanna stream my music production once in awhile, but I don’t want my full name to show up publicly haha. Thanks!

So, i bought it and it have strange behavior.
Don’t know how to describe this.
Video: https://youtu.be/RZwymZkUuC4

Can’t capture this laggy things with OBS because of observer effect and Renoise works just perfect.
And i saw thing that don’t relay on this particular edit/mix windows effect: sometimes it freezes for a moment just on pattern switch.

ASIO4ALL works perfectly well. DirectSound are totally boken, but i don’t care about it.

Hello everyone, first post in a long, long time.

Two things that I still struggle with in my mixes, especially since I tread in mostly aggressive house music, are depth and movement.
Depth in the sense of a track having a ‘3D’ feel so to speak, with elements in the back- and foreground and a large sound stage overall.
So far I’ve been using panning, volume automation and stereo processing to do this, though my tracks still feel pretty flat compared to professional productions.

Movement as in the track ‘breathing’, not sounding static, keeping a dynamic feel in spite of being mixed loud and aggressive.
For this I’ve been also using a lot of automation as well as selective sidechain compression, yet things end up feeling too tight still.
Here is a current demo where these problems still bother me for reference.

What are your techniques to achieve these two elements in your music?
What VST Plugins, Renoise tricks and tweaks do you use to let your tracks live and breathe?

Tomorrow is 15 september. The temperature will be 35°c in north of France.
Me and my imaginary swedish cousin made a song and video about this.
Composition is 100% made in Renoise using reaktor serenade ensemble for main violin.

Thanks for listening / watching.

Hi! I’m a noob so this is probably geared towards other noobs like me. Sometimes it’s difficult to get a wobbly envelope just how you want it. Here’s my trick. Sample your voice doing the modulation you want. It will sound silly. Throw a signal follower and a gainer on it. Route the signal follower to your desired effect (wet/dry knob on comb filter etc) and turn the gainer all the way down so everything after the signal follower is silent. Super fun!
Cheers!

Hello fellow kids!
During the last two weeks I bought a Traktor F1, an X1 and a Z1 controller for my DJing.

I’m just getting into Renoise currently. Since I’m new to the production side of things for now my main focus is on creating remix set loops for Traktor (possibly stems too). I feel like that a goal that will lead to actual results instead of tons of unfinished “songs” and being overwhelmed by the learning curve. (I’m focusing on the genres of 80s electronic (library) music, and musically-not-boring “synthwave”. Recently discovering @mitch_murder’s completely Renoise-based work (and writing him on SoundCloud) really spurred my will to get creative in and with those genres. Renoise immediately, finally, looked like a tool I could actually like to use. So far it didn’t disappoint.)

So I was wondering whether those controllers could also be useful for working with Renoise. I don’t have any midi maps yet and only tried some extremely simple stuff. In fact I only started looking into the topic of setting up controllers yesterday, because I’m also trying to decide whether a really simple master keyboard (M-Audio Mini32 Mk3, #1 choice, laptop-sized vs. Akai MPK Mini Mk2, a bit larger but has some knobs and pads) could be enough, since I should be able to repurpose my three Traktor controllers, at least for now. (I’m currently using an inherited Behringer UMX40 keyboard, but it’s wayyy too big, the keys are loud(!), and the knobs are all sticky and yucky.)

I was very intrigued by a user’s mention of controlling the pattern sequencer with the X1. Unfortunately that post is 10 years old. @empolo, if you’re still here please raise your hand. I haven’t looked in-depth into the pattern sequencer yet, so it still is a bit of a mystery to me. Sounds like this setup might also possibly serve in a live situation? Other than that do people even use external controllers (except keyboards) with Renoise? And what for, maybe to record some automations?

In short, if someone has any midi maps to share for those controllers and if/how you use them with Renoise that could be very helpful for me (and hopefully others too). Also I’d appreciate some tips for my general scenario and choice of minimal master keyboard controller.

Be well, all of you. Thank you.

2. can you change time
   signature?

3. has anyone made a good turorial on vocal recording in renoise

I can slice drum loop to phrase but I want it in the track instead. Basically I want “Slice audio to midi track” like in Ableton Live. What is the workflow?
