Renoise Tools

What are Tools?

Renoise Tools are scripts (XRNX files) that can be plugged into Renoise 2.6 and higher to add new features. To install a Tool, drag and drop the downloaded XRNX file onto a Renoise window.

Create your own Tools

Renoise Tools are built upon the Renoise Scripting API. If you want to know how to create your own Tools, please visit the Renoise Scripting mini-site and download the XrnxStarterPack.

Automatic Updates

Installed Tools can be automatically updated with the Tool Updater, which is pre-installed in Renoise 2.8 or later versions. To update your tools click on the Help/Find Tool Updates... menu in Renoise.

Featured Tools

Automasher

Automasher is a tool to create complex automation curves. It works by assembling basic shapes, which you can combine using flexible parameters. There's also an option to make the curve match the notes in the corresponding track.

Grid Pie

Renoise cut and pastry. Live sequence recombination.

Grid Pie is a performance interface. It lets the user combine different parts of a linear song, non-linearly, in real time, using a special looping pattern as a live drafting area. It does so by taking over the Pattern Matrix.

Video demo: here.

GridPie is also available as an application in Duplex Beta. This stand alone version will eventually be deprecated in favour of the Duplex app.

Step Sequencer

A Step Sequencer is an intuitive, fast and fun possibility of editing a song. It is especially for live purposes and beat creation an excellent tool.
The "Lauflicht Step Sequencer" is a moving light, multitrack and multitimbral step sequencer. You can either begin to create a new pattern on scratch or even load the notes of a given pattern into the sequencer automatically. It has some additional functions like a keyboard mode for creating melodies or chords, or a controller matrix, to control up to eight automation parameter, note value or pattern command of your choice per step for every track in real time.

Freeze Track

The Freeze Track tool adds 'track freezing' functionality to Renoise.
The tool will render down a single instrument track into audio files either on a pattern by pattern basis or as a single linear sample.
