There are numerous reasons to send MIDI data between Renoise and another program, merge MIDI data or even send MIDI data to a different computer.

In this tutorial I will try to cover every possible scenario.

This article focuses on PCs running Windows. However, the guidelines may also apply to other platforms.

The testing of Renoise 1.9 betas continue. We all hope you're doing your very best to hunt out those bugs. Right now we need a little creativity for a project - we need effect chains in the XRNT format. If you have made some interesting FX combinations, let the world hear them and let us include them into the final release. Please use only internal Renoise FX for the device chains, so that they always work out of the box without having this or that VST installed. Have a look at some of the examples here and submit your own: http://forum.renoise.com/index.php?showtopic=13319

We are sad to hear that Arguru has died in a car accident on 3 June 2007.  He was a very talented programmer and creator of a lot of great software, including NoiseTrekker, which formed the basis for the very first version of Renoise.
