Renoise 3.1.1 release notes

Renoise Forum - January 14, 2019 - 01:02

Hi!

I just wonder if there're any release notes available for the new 3.1.1 update? Didn't find anything on the release notes page.

 

Thanks!

Renoise Forum - January 14, 2019 - 00:42

I'll post my tracks in this thread from now on:

___________________________________

 

 

 

Not the most exiting stuff i have made, but this time i focused more on trying to get a well balanced mix, an attempt to mix properly for a change. Not sure how well i succeeded with that?

I appreciate any feedback on the production quality, is it balanced well? Is there anything that doesn't fit well with the mix? Does the bass sound allright? How far from a professional mix is it? Does it sound dynamic enough? Any suggestion for improvements?

Secret Place

Renoise Forum - January 13, 2019 - 23:31

Hi!

 

Here is a new future bass track I'm working on. 100% Renoise of course.

I'm not completely sure if the intro is really catchy... but this is still in progress.

Some kind of Techno - Improving the mix. How to?

Renoise Forum - January 13, 2019 - 20:28

Here's a track i'm working on since some days and I'm stuck with improving the mix. Do you think it sounds good (ok is not good enough  ) or do you see some deficits here? 

If you know of something that sounds similar that would be great. I even have problems with the style... guess it's techno?

New tool (3.1.1): Piano Roll Editor v2.0 build 124 (December 2018)

Renoise Forum - January 13, 2019 - 19:38

The second version is here! Merry Christmas!

 

What is the "Piano Roll Editor"?

The "Piano Roll Editor" or also called "PRE" as an abbreviation is a tool for the representation and advanced editing of notes for the DAW Renoise (current version 3.1.1 of 64 bit). It is a piano roll arranged vertically with a top control bar, an intermediate grid for the roll and another bottom panel that represents a horizontal virtual piano, along with another smaller mirror piano on the top of the roll.

 

Piano Roll Editor 64bit v2.0 build 124... a original tool by ulneiz

 

The PRE program is distributed in 64-bit XRNX format through a "Demo Version", free, so that anyone can try it and through another "Full Version", not free, which requires a personalized use license. Please, contact the author to get your personal license for use. This additional software demonstrates another of Renoise's not-so-well-known capabilities: programming and the use of advanced editing tools. Expand Renoise's capabilities with the Piano Roll Editor!

 

Piano Roll Editor. Download the Basic User Guide.

The Basic User Guide contains all the necessary information to know the tool, how to install it and use it properly. The Basic User Guide is available in English and Spanish. To read the basic user guide, you can follow the following links:

Piano Roll Editor 64bit v2.0 build 124. Chord Builder.

   

Piano Roll Editor. Download the Demo version 64bit (XRNX format). How to install it?

The "Demo Version" includes all the capabilities of this tool, but includes a time limitation and an informative pop-up window. Please read the User's Basic Guide first before downloading this tool.

 

To install: install the tool just like any other, by double clicking on the XRNX file or dragging it over the Renoise window. Remember that it is only compatible with the 64bit version of Renoise. The 32-bit version requires a different packaging that at the moment I'm not willing to build...

 

You can download the demo version here:

 

Demo Version v2.0.124 (recent)

Demo Version v1.0.117 (old)

 

Piano Roll Editor. Support the developer. How to get the Full Version?

The "Full Version" comes with all the capabilities of this tool and without any restriction. Please read the Basic User's Guide carefully for more information.

 

This "Full Version" requires a "Personalized Use License", through a "Registration File" valued at 10€ (euros). If you are interested in getting the Full Version and thus support the developer, send me a private message and I will inform you of the details. Please, consider supporting the development and maintenance of this kind of tools. Keep in mind that it takes a lot of time and effort to build!

 

Enjoy the Demo Version of this jewel!

How to Get Roland D50 type sounds (Renoise/Linux)

Renoise Forum - January 13, 2019 - 19:08

I'm really interested in Roland D50 sounds:

 

www.synthmania.com/d-50.htm

 

How can I get similar sounds in Renoise?

 

Roland has the new D05 module of course, but I'd rather avoid the hardware integration issues.

 

Munt is an emulator of the MT-32, which is like a little brother of the D50, but the MT-32 doesn't sound as good. In fact it seems to have a stereotyped "video game" sound - although maybe clever processing could fix that. So I haven't even tried Munt.

 

Can some of the D50-type sounds be made directly in Renoise? I know that two of the biggest ingredients in the "Linear Arithmetic" synthesis are 1) Ring Modulation and 2) Sampled attack, synthesized body.

 

Renoise has a Ringmod but it seems to only multiply by fixed waveforms. True? In the D50 sounds, of course, both inputs to the Ringmod were configurable.

 

For sampled attack, synthesized body, I guess I could glue them together in Audacity, then import and let Renoise pitch-shift the whole thing - but the attack timing would change up and down the keyboard, probably wrong. I could use two Renoise instruments in parallel, one playing the sampled attack and one the synth-pad sound.

 

Has anyone made rich, D50-ish instruments in Renoise?

I cant press play (space) and midi keyboard key at the same time

Renoise Forum - January 13, 2019 - 16:47

Hello!

 

It constantly bothers me. When i want to record or play midi live i usually press play and some key on my midi keyboard. But nothing happens. Workaround is to use metronome precount, but its not always suitable.Is it bug?

What would Renoise ‘rebooted’ look like?

Renoise Forum - January 13, 2019 - 13:52

So in the spirit of movie reboots (e.g. Star Trek) which are largely done to free future directions from previous concepts. What would a ‘reboot’ look like for Renoise?

 

Lets say Taktik and co decide to create a new version of Renoise that’s is (gasp!) incompatible with the old version (lets call this Renoise Classic). With a redesign from the ground up, what direction could it go in? What would could be done different in terms of the fundamental codebase and overall design?

 

Perhaps there is a logic to this when terms such as ‘old and bloated codebase’ are used when software has reached a certain age and further development loses its appeal.

 

Given trends in the audio world right now I think the following could possibly feature in some way and baked in at a core fundamental level.

 

  • Scripting / Customisability / Modularity – While already baked into Renoise with lua scripting it has limitations with refresh rates, lack of audio processing, GUI design etc. See also Reaktor, Max, VCV Rack, Max for Live, Bitwig, PD, Loomer Architect for inspiration.
     
  • Flexible audio and Midi routing – Route anything anywhere.
     
  • Granular sample playback / Time Stretching / FFT Processing – Trackers have always been about sample manipulation so this kind of functionality would be essential I think.
     
  • Live Performance and Hardware integration – See Ableton Push and updates to the MIDI specification such as MPE. Also things like the Elektron Machines and their integration into a DAW via Overbridge, also consider Renoise tools such as Guru.
     
  • UI / Workflow – Appealing to the musicians as well as the prosumers, but then maybe you can’t have it all and being niche is inevitable.
     
  • AI and Machine Learning – Only in here because its the current buzz, not sure how useful it could be... but then… Sononym..

 

Legacy concepts that could probably be left behind

  • Tick based timing in favour of Sample Rate processing
  • Sample based player commands in favour of Parameter Locking
  • Self contained modules in favour of folder based file structures

 

I’m not saying this is the direction Renoise should go in but simply curious about what a fundamental redesign could enable. What would you add to these lists?

Coloring sequence numbers

Renoise Forum - January 13, 2019 - 03:11

If you could set a color on each sequence number / row, for example via context menu "set color", a color from a predefined set of 10 colors or so, it could be helpful for organisation. Similar die colored tags in macos.

Bug or missuse ?

Renoise Forum - January 13, 2019 - 00:28

Hi. I am new to Renoise and some weird things happen when I try to make a song. Example : I create a  pattern for a VST and  that pattern gets swapped randomly with another instrument or a sample. It happens randomly , sometimes when I close and re-open the song.

Also I somehow managed to make Renoise to move ALL of my vst filters cutoff to 0. All of them. If I switch each synth filter back , Renoise will bring the cutoff values down to 0 again when I press PLAY. I did not create any automation to this track. I use Tyrell N6. Could this be a bug ? Please help. This is so frustrating. Thanks !

 

EDIT : I managed to find the problem with Tyrell n6 filters. Its related to the stop button in Renoise. If I press it  the filters will jump down to 0. Im sure this is not normal.

V-Spacing and H-Spacing (Vertical and Horizontal spacing) smaller than

Renoise Forum - January 12, 2019 - 23:44

Need to change V-Spacing and H-Spacing if GUI (Vertical and Horizontal spacing) smaller than Zero. How i can do that? Need to capture video to fit as much information as possible into the pattern.

I found how change font size whatever you want in *:\Program Files\Renoise 3.1.0\Resources\Skin\Fonts\Config.xml by change strings with "<Size>10,10</Size>".

Is it possible to change the same method v-spacing and h-spacing?

Bug while dragging w/ sections in sequence?

Renoise Forum - January 12, 2019 - 17:00

Hi,

 

if I have this sequence structure:

 

and now am duplicating pattern 22 by "+"-dragging it after position 21, before the section label "start", I will get this result

 

Shouldn't it look similar to this instead?

 

Also I would like to suggest to write the sections always in the way it is shown above. Currently, if you expand the pattern comments, the section names will move to the column of the pattern comments, and these are so short that almost all section names will be shortened then til unreadability, at least here. Or am I doing it not in the way it is meant to be used?

Hey, I try to use a VST FX that can recieve midi notes and MPE messages. Problem : these midi messages don't seem to go throught the instrument and never reach the effect

 

Is there a way to route the midi messages to a VST effect ?
