When I have the 'follow playhead' turned off, and the playhead is somewhere off screen, is there a hotkey or so I can press to jump the cursor/screen to the current playhead position?

Thanks!
 

Hello and happy new year to all !

 

I am recording a monophonic melody on the fly from a MIDI keyboard, and I have 3 questions, of which the 1st is my main issue :

 

1.

Is there a way of preventing Renoise to create additional columns within my track when notes (almost inevitably) overlap ? And if not, then is there an easy way to merge all columns after recodring ?

 

2.

Is there a way of quantizing on the fly, instead of adding tick offset for almost every note ?

 

3.

Is there a way of recording (say) aftertouch directly to the curve editor (the panel behind the effects panel) instead of the effect column, in order to get a smoother rendering of it?

 

Thanks in advance

When I bring in a sample for chopping up, I like to slice it up with different sample start points and have each slice spread over 4-5 keys so that I can play it from different pitches.

 

I find it difficult to do in redux:

- If I use slices, I can easily and non-destructively edit the start and end points of the slices, but am limited to one key and one pitch for the slice

- If I use separate samples, I can spread each one over a range of keys (with each at a different pitch), but the sample start point is not settable dynamically, I have to cut off the start of the sample to play it from a different start point. This really kills the experimentation aspect and fun of simply moving a marker around to set the start point.

 

I know people have requested the ability to set the start point of a sample with a marker, this would solve this problem. But if there is some major architectural reason that this is difficult to do without messing up a lot of things, perhaps the ability to spread slices over a range of keys would be a good alternative (also more elegant as you don't need multiple copies of a sample).

Hi there, I'm reading on some places about a scripting and editing terminal for Renoise but I can't find anything like it on the tool page, nor on the Renoise site itself about it. Where and how do I get it?

Hi, I'm ramming my head against this:

 

I use iCloud Drive to save KeyBindings.xml and Tools. Before you throw a "I can't understand", replace iCloud Drive with OneDrive, or DropBox, or Google Drive or whatever. Cloud-based backup of Tools / KeyBindings.

 

I've tried making symbolic links to KeyBindings.xml from 

~/Library/Application Support/Renoise/V3.1.1/Library

 

yet they seem to be ignored (I make the symbolic link while Renoise is closed, then open Renoise, the shortcuts are not updated.)

 

I copy KeyBindings.xml to that folder (giving up, basically), and seems to work. but that is now a static copy - I need these to be updated from the Cloud.

 

Now, where is the default location for Renoise Tools though? ~/Documents/Renoise/Tools or some ~/Library?

Basically am trying to figure out how to use iCloud Drive (or Dropbox or whatever) so that Renoise KeyBindings + Tools are _always_ in sync.

 

How do I do this, please? Does Renoise prefer accessing ~/Documents/Renoise folders? Why am I finding it troublesome to even figure out where KeyBindings.xml is supposed to go? Where are the link / folder details in Renoise Preferences?

And.. If I have the Tools in ~/Documents/Renoise/Tools - how come none of the tools show in Renoise?

hey feedback would be appreciated

 

 

 

One of those end of year threads, because it`s December and why not?
 
The best production tip/ concept you learnt in 2018?.. I finally understood the value of Mid-Side compression on buses and master bus!
 
I`ve had MS compressors on my hard drive for years but never really utilised them properly; just tinkering then defaulting back to stereo.  However I started demoing and ended up buying Cylone Compressor after trying on the master bus and it finally clicked.
 
Basically If you want to add significant compression to a bus with heavy kicks and bass (content that should mostly be centred), you`re going to collapse your stereo field as the compressor pulls excessively on higher frequency stereo stuff -> frustration and misery!
 
Use mid side compression and you can keep your stereo info in tact  ...Yay Pro soundz 2019!!!!!
 
Of course it doesn`t mean you should never use stereo processing on the bus, just that if you want to maintain stereo width, it`s worth playing with some ms processing too-- particularly if you want to do more than a couple of dB compression, as in typical SSL bus-comp style.
 
 
 
--------------------
Some mid-side freebies (I`ve only tested HBC recently though)
 
Density Compressor
 
MS EQ COMP - which seems to require registration manager / app
 
Not full m/s control, but has m/s slider so you can reduce the compression happening at the sides.  One of my favourite freeware compressors aswell (scroll halfway down page):
Hybrid bus Compressor-2

Cheapware: (Cyclone currently going for under $10 on sale)
Cyclone compressor

Hi guys, I have a new HP laptop and a very strange problem - insert key doesn't work as its supposed to.

Its shared with the 0 key on the numpad but no matter if numlock is on or off, renoise is always registering it as 0 and opens the instrument editor.

I checked in wordpad and insert key works as it should so seems like its renoise not recognising it.

Any idea why ?

Thanks very much

 

*** update ***

 

Just checked and in Sunvox it works as it should.

Hi !

 

Sorry to be the one to bring that topic back. Just so you know : i'm very happy with 3.1 and have no probleme with it…

 

but still I'm curious. How are thing's going with renoise ? Can you make plans for future versions… or is it not quite possible yet ?

 

Thanks

Happy new year friends!!So basically i still haven't managed to get a good workflow in Renoise but i will get there eventually.I thought it would be very interesting to know your workflow and maybe try some different approach.

Steps to recreate:

1) Put an effect on a track

2) Turn effect off

3) Put a 1001 command in the middle of a pattern

4) Put a 1000 somewhere after it

5) Set the pattern to loop

6) Press play

 

What I expected to happen: Effect stays off until the 1001 where it turns on, turns off at the 1000, stays off until it loops round to the 1001 again.

 

What actually happens: Effect stays off until the 1001 where it turns on, turns off at the 1000, then turns itself on again when it loops to line 00.

 

Not sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour that I'm just not understanding.

On chorus especially it would make so much sense to have a tougher filter for pure utility. The current highpass are kinda wimpy when it comes to keeping stereo out of my bass. 

 

Is there a was to do this or a reason it can't be implemented? 

 

To be fair, having any chorus filter at all makes chorus way more viable for bass sounds, so I'm thankful for that. But Chebyshev filter (best filter   ) would take the idea all the way

Is there a sub forum for memes related to Renoise? I kinda wanna make some but I don't know where I'd post lol

Steps to reproduce:

 

1. Download and install Rob Papen RAW synth demo (VST/AU 64 bit): https://www.robpapen.com/download/RAW_Demo.dmg |  https://www.robpapen.com/raw-demo.html

 

2. Open Renoise 3.11 64bit (plugin bridge disabled) on macos 10.13 or later

 

3. Try to open the VST version's GUI. It should be empty.

 

4. Open the VST plugins GUI in another DAW like Bitwig or S1, it should be normal

 

 

Notes:

- I think this already happens since 10.12 and Renoise only

- I remember the AU version did work, at least in 10.12

 

 

Hi,

Can anyone confirm that current Renoise version is compatible with latest MacOS version (10.14, Mojave)?

Regards,

Adam

I think there hasn't been made a topic yet where fellow Renoisers can tell what they're listening at the moment.

Give the usual info; artist, title and album.

I just listened to the latest album of wAgAwAgA 'Jinjanoon Bus'. I loved it, such an amazing sound that guy creates. Beeg Spenda track was a brilliant finish.

Thanks to us scripters now being able to select the automation parameters in our scripts    I have been upgrading a tool that I`ve had on the backburner:
Automation Single Slider:
 
On tools site:

http://www.renoise.com/tools/automation-single-slider 


 


 
 

 

Menu entries : 
 
Tools menu:Ledger`s scripts:   Automation Single Slider
Automation List:                       Automation Single Slider
AutomationLane:                      Automation Single Slider
---------------------------------------------------------------
 
MIDI mapping:
 
Large Rotary is MIDI mappable to a rotary/ slider with 0-127 range.  Search "rotary" in midi assignments: (Ctrl + M in renoise will open the Mapping selector)
 
----------------------------------------------------------------
 
Renoise shortcuts:
 
Open the tool gui with:
~`AUS` Automation Single Slider"
 
Add a new automation device with:
~`AUS` Add Inst. Auto Device To Track"

 

Add a renoise Instrument Automation Device to the current track (same as [+] button on gui):

~`AUS` Add Inst. Auto Device To Track"

 

Cycle through already automated parameters with (same as lower popup):

They will open the automation lane if it isn`t already.  Unlike the tools gui selection method, you don`t have to choose the next device manually, these shortcuts just take you up and down the renoise automations list.
`~AUS` Next Automated Parameter
`~AUS` Previous Automated Parameter

 

When in the automation editor, duplicate the selection with:
`~AUS` Duplicate Automation Selection"

 
----------------------------------------------------------------
 
It should be fairly straightforward to use.  It syncs the selected automation parameter with the selected device in renoise.  Both can be chosen from the GUI.  You get a second parameter dropdown showing you your already automated parameters, selectable too.

 

Note:

Pattern Follow needs to be enabled in renoise for the tool to work as expected i.e. drawing the envelope as you go along, otherwise you will be just changing the value of the current line.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------
 

GUI OVERVIEW:

 

 
 

[+] button adds an `Instrument Automation Device` to the current track in renoise  (or selects an already present one).
 
[Selected DSP Device] Choose DSP device to automate, it is synced with selected device in renoise.

 

En. Checkbox  Enable/ bypass selected device.

 

EXT. Ed. Opens Gui of plugin if it has one.

 

 
[G] button to grab a moved slider of a vst effect or instrument (instruments need renoise`s native *Inst. Automation Device to be loaded first, this can be achieved simply via the [+] button)
 
1) Select a VSTfx and the G button appears along side the Ext. Editor button
2) Press it with the song not playing* and it will turn red.  If the VST GUI is not already open it will open too.
3) Move the gui element in the vst that you want selected.
The parameter should now be selected in the "Selected Param:" popup of the tool, the G button will turn green for a short while to confirm it worked, then grey.
 
If you want to select a different parameter then repeat 2) and 3) 
 
*If the song is playing the button is disabled, as the feature would not work properly if the device is already automated.  When a plugin is already automated the parameters are moving when the song plays and the grab function would just select the first one of those moving parameters it comes across. 

 

----------------

 

[ ~ parameter name ~  ]  ` ~`  symbols added in popup lists mean that a parameter is automated.  These only appear in the Automated parameter list once more than one parameter is automated as visual freedback that there are more entries in that popup to select.
 
[X] button --shows green when parameter is automated (also pattern automation),
press to delete current pattern graph-automation for selected parameter,
press again to delete for whole track
if yellow, press to set parameter to its default value

Lock Button  means slider will set whole pattern automation to single value --still  controlled by the rotary

 

Checkbox (next to [view] button) means the view will change automatically to the automation lane when rotary is used, switch off if want to control the view manually (state only remembered per session but will be pref in future) 
 

Large rotary starts recording automation as soon as used

 

When enabled the the Latch mode button has two colours; red and orange.  When orange it means it is armed so the next time you use the large rotary the overdubbing will occur.  When the overdubbing is occuring it remains red.  It automatically goes back to orange (armed) when the transport stops or you change parameters.  You can also toggle it off again by re-pressing the button.
 
Bottom Slider  is just a readout, interacting with it will be fruitless!

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
--AVOID HAVING THE "ONLY" AUTOMATED BUTTON IN THE PARAMETER LIST ON while the tool is open, it will cause problems. Also using the search feature in that list can have a similar effect.  The tool gui will go blank to warn you in these situations that no parameter could be selected.

 
 
note: thanks to danoise for a snippet pointing me in the direction of rawequal() function and to taktik for implementing the new selection stuff!   
 
Updates:
Spoiler
Latest Version 0.82



-Added a [+] button that adds an "Instrument Automation Device" if one is not present on the track. If one is already present will just select that one, ready for automating.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

version 0.8

Shortcuts now prefixed with `AUS` so will need updating if already set

`AUS` Automation Single Slider",

(NEW shortcut) --adds an instrument automation device to the current track
`AUS` Add Inst. Auto Device To Track"


(NEW) Now the [G] (grab) button works on Plugin (VSTi etc.) instruments: (As with fx-grab renoise needs to be stopped to use this feature)

Simply add your `Instr. automation device` to your track and with it selected and **THE CORRECT TARGET INSTRUMENT SELECTED IN THE INSTRUMENT LIST, press the [g] button. It will turn red, and open the selected instrument gui. Move the parameter you want to grab and it will be selected in the automation list and shown as selected in the tool.

The `Instr. automation device` only has about 35 parameters that can be active, so if the newly selected parameter is not already included, then the first unautomated parameter popup will be changed to accomodate it.

**As the API/ script can`t see which is the target instrument in the `Instr. automation device` you will need to make sure that the selected instrument in the renoise instrument list (above the renoise browser) is the correct one. If for some reason this goes wrong a warning will fire with some explaination to try again.






v0.82
-Added a [+] button that selects the last Instrument Automation Device present on the track.  If none are present then a new one is added
 
v0.8
-[G] grab button works for instruments aswell as fx
-New shortcut to load an *Inst. Automation device, to speed up workflow-
-bug fixes, code tidying
 
v0.78
--Bug gone on selecting mixer device error
--NEW parameter readout underneath minislider
 
v0.77 --gui more efficient when updating parameters, update timer more efficient, general small bugs squashed
 
v0.74 --bug gone where timer wouldn`t be released if top right [x] was used to exit the tool
 
v0.73 --left an active print in the tool so minor update removing it

v0.72
--menu entry for tool added
--large rotary midi mappable
--[G] Grab button added to select Plugin fx parameters via their gui

Hi Renoisers,

 

I've recently started recording interviews with all sorts of music industry folk, hoping to span a broad range of subjects and people working within the musical world. Please give me  shout if you know anyone I can speak to.

 

First up is bass godess Cheryl Pinero:

 

 

Each episode is out at the beginning of the month.
