I am a flash developer by trade and have been a little bored at work lately. So I built my own flavor of the Renoise track generator entirely in flash. This version allows for chords and has a preview of the generated track.

Next project is multi instrument velocity switching.

Enjoy.

Wow, that's fantastic. The preview option is killer!

[Conner_Bw]

I've been playing with this for a half hour. I think it's quite cool. The horizontal interface is interesting. I think the higher-ups in the Renoise development hierarchy should be looking at it, at least for ideas.

I have a three suggestions if you are interested in working for free, i'll even throw in some ingratitude at no extra cost!

1) Reset Button: I know I can reload the page. But a reset button is more intuitive.

2) Tweak option: Let's say I generate a good melody but there are a few errors I would like to correct by adding a few extra orange slots, removing a few orange slots, or I want only 3 or 4 of the orange slots randomized but want to keep the rest. To do this without destroying the entire track I need a [Freeze] button. When I press the freeze button all notes turn blue. I can then click on the notes I want to tweak. Blue notes don't change, the rest works as expected.

3) Stand-alone version: I used curl and already downloaded it. However, in order to play with it I need to drag it into a browser window. It would be nice if you could package the swf into an executable. And by executable I mean something that plays on my OS X machine, too.

Thanks!

Very easy to use, thanks to the preview.

Good work!

[Luxveritas]

I have made some of the changes you have requested. You can download the standalone versions and reset the workspace. I am afraid the tweak option would confuse the heck out of most people and I cannot figure out how to add it gracefully.

I think the mac version will work, but I haven't used a mac in 5 years. The application and the sample folder have to be in the same parent folder.

Both links on the page lead to trackgenPC.zip, is that right?

[Luxveritas]

Haha... That must have been my subconscious dislike of macs manifesting itself. The link is fixed.

looks nice,will try this out tommorow

I have created the playback feature as a separate swf. If anyone wants to use it in their project feel free.

This is a very simple example showing how to control the playback using javascript.

Very cool, liking the preview feature of your app. Cheers!

[ryanmca]

nice job!

[Transcender]

Thank you very much Luxveritas for publishing your excellent application. I see a lot of potential in this one. A LOT.

Now THIS is a really cool and useful feature as well, with lots of applications. Awesome!

@Renoise devs: You should really have a serious talk with this guy!

Interesting, I will have a look. Thanks for your time and effort!

[notorius]

cool stuff. However, the timing is kinda strange sometimes. I guess its the midi timing or something.

[Luxveritas]

The timing is strange because flash will not fire events at precise intervals. It will only fire an event on frame refresh. If you have a slow computer with low frame rates the timing is much worse.

[FranciscooC]

Luxveritas, thank you for sharing this utility with us. This appeals to me since I'm a bit heavy with randomization schemes in my compositions. I sort of wish it could support patterns longer than 64 rows.

Added to http://www.renoise.com/download/tools/. Sorry for the long delay.

[Livälskare]

This is amazing.

Thanks a million.

[Ashkan Asgary]

Very interesting and valuable. Thanks a lot.

[cubedecibel]

This was cool. Dont know if I ever will use it, but It was fun to play around with it

[esaruoho]

this is v. v. interesting!
thanks

[lo res skyline]

A downloadable standalone would really make my day.
It's too useful a tool to only be able to use near internet!
