Recrueling (Electronic Breakbeat+EDM)

"Master/Slave" -> "Primary/Secondary" or "Server/Client"
Recently it has come to the attention of many technologists that the word “master” is problematic in nearly all contexts, and most especially when it stands next to the word “slave”
While it may seem pedantic to some, this is important especially for Renoise, not only for racial equality, but also in the interest of UI/UX clarity and being as intuitive as possible, wherever possible.
In many cases, these words have been changed to Primary and Secondary, which seem more descriptive of the relationship and tend to not to conjure images of whips/chains in people’s minds. Another term I’ve seen used for directional synchronizations is Source and Client. In the case of Renoise’s use, it may be even clearer to say Sender and Receiver, as this directional data relationship is somewhat unclear in the places it appears anyhow, in spite of their use in MIDI-specific contexts.
(I, for one, had a difficult time understanding which one is sending the MIDI clock to whom and what direction the data is flowing at all, having to discover through trial and error. I still have to go through this if it’s been more than a week since last using Renoise.)
While these words are still “standard” in terms of MIDI, software dev as a whole has changed to Primary/Secondary or Client/Server. MIDI itself is changing to keep up with the times, specifically to allow two-way communication and I’m confident that when MIDI 2.0 is finally released “master/slave” will be all but officially deprecated terminology. It just doesn’t seem like a relationship we want to highlight anymore, right? …Many people are working to change the terms “mastering” and “master track”, too, for the same reasons. No reason to sound like a racist in 2021
Thank you for considering this important social and usability issue!

Found a bug with the Phrase Editor
Seems there’s a bug in the phrase editor when playing notes with the computer keyboard. I programmed a chord with it for playing it by pressing one single note. If i’m on the main pattern editor, then press a note, the chord plays as expected. But when i now switch to the phrase editor tab, the chord doesn’t play as expected, it plays just one single note. Switching back to the main pattern editor and play a note, the chord plays again as expected. Playing notes on a MIDI keyboard or playing notes with the mouse on the virtual keyboard in the phrase editor works fine in all situations. This just happens when playing notes with the computer keyboard.
Thanks.
Renoise PC version 3.3.2, 64 bit (i don’t know if this also happens with the Mac version)
Steps to reproduce:
1.) load a sample or a VST instrument
2.) program a chord in the phrase editor
3.) press a note on the computer keyboard, just one note plays
4.) press a note on the virtual keyboard on the bottom with the mouse, the whole chord plays as expected
5.) press a note on the MIDI keyboard, the whole chord plays as expected
6.) switch to the main pattern sequencer
7.) play a note on the computer keyboard, the whole chord plays as expected
8.) switch back to the phrase editor
9.) play a note on the computer keyboard, just one single note plays

Duplex - Akai APC-40 - Assigning controllers with midi learn
HI,
I’ve just bought an APC40 and want to use it with Duplex - Grid Pie. Everything runs fine, the grid matrix and the faders work as I hoped it would, excellent!
Now I have 16 rotary controllers on my apc40, they are all automapped by Duplex/Grid Pie; The top 8 are assigned to track control (panning and such) and the lower eight are assigned to effects on the track I have selected.
Can I decouple the 16 rotary controllers from the automapping? I just want to use them with midi learn, and not per track, but just global. So I would just like a rotary controller to control a filter, and when I selected a different track, I just want to control that same filter, so no different setups per selected track.
I also noticed that when I enter midi learn, the I can’t assign the track controls (the upper 8 rotaries) to anything, only the lower 8 controls are assignable.
I hope somebody can help me out here, Thanks people!

Plugins not displaying properly
Everytime I open a plugin the screen does not display properly as shown in pic. Whilst the plugin work, the cursor is not in the correct place. It happens every plugin I use. I have previously managed to fix it so that it displays properly and the mouse cursor is in the correct position on the screen but I can’t remember how i’ve done it - although it’s something simple like closing the screen and re-opening. ANy ideas? thanks

mpReverb seems deviating waveform on short-looped samples
Hi there!
I like mpReverb as I find it really smart and convenient, but recently I had this issue on a track:
You can see that the waveform deviate on the top.
if I go with only with a chiptune super-short handdrawed sample and use mpReverb with “cavern warm” preset, I have this extrem result:
I first tough that was my synths or another setting, but after some tries, I remplace mpReverb by the old Ambience reverb vst ans then:
Also I’ve tried with samples a bit more long and VST, then this is ok, no issues with that, seems only to be on shorty samples like this (when click on “draw” on an empty slot in sample editor:
In Renoise 3.3.1 (and tried also in 3.2.1)

Digitakt via Renoise makes boom bap
Newbie here with a few questions
Been messing around in the Renoise demo for the past couple of weeks and I’m really enjoying (I’m still quite new to music production). I have a few questions and would appreciate if you guys could help me.
-
Is there an arpeggiator?
-
Is glide only available though FX command?
-
Anyone using a 60% keyboard? Any useful keybinds you would recommend?
-
Does anyone favour the trigger slice command rather than actually slicing samples? Any reason why you prefer to do this, and do you do this with all types of samples (drum loops, vocals, jazzy samples etc.)

Serato Sampler issue
I installed Serato Sampler and it shows up in Reaper but not in Renoise, I had this before with a few samplers not showing up in Renoise.
Is this a known issue or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

I think I forgot to upload this link when I recorded this tune a couple of months ago. It’s a dark ambient number.
Let me know what you think. Cheers.

Sample alias slice options menu?
Hi, Can someone direct me to where to find/how to get to these Sample Slice options with transpose etc mentioned in this post.
I have a sliced sample prepared, and am triggering the slice with the Sxx command successfully, but now can’t seem to see where these other options appear (with hang up, transpose etc) the posts says "If you now open the Instrument Settings tab and choose the Sample subsection, you’ll see that there’s an entry in the sample list for each slice. "

Some 909 from my roland R8M
Here are some samples from my roland R8m dance card ( 909)
Calling the R8m just a sample based machine wouldn’t do it justice since the samples have a low and high parameter ( for transient attack and body ) and a whole bunch of others features to taylor adjust you samples .
It was the techno machine from the 90,s …YUY
I tweaked the parameters to get some additional snares and kicks ,and ploink stuff
R8m 909.xrni (2.9 MB)
Anyway , these samples will give you a taste of the R8M-dance card

Problems with not found Waves Plugins after restarting Renoise
Since Renoise supports VST3, i reinstalled all my Waves plugin just in VST3 format. After rescanning the plugins they all work fine. But after i close and reopen Renoise, it can’t find all the Waves plugins anymore when loading a VST inside a project or after loading a project where these plugins are used. But they are still shown in the effects plugin choosers in Renoise. Everytime after closing and restarting Renoise i have to rescan the plugins folders again to make them working again. In all other DAWs i use they all work fine without the need of rescanning the plugins again. This problem just happens with Renoise. So i think it’s a possible bug in Renoise. In VST2 format they all worked without problems in Renoise. This just happens with the VST3 versions. This just happens with the automatic rescanning on startup disabled, even when the plugin already were scanned and working before closing and restarting Renoise. I had to enable this option again to make them work again after every restart of Renoise.
latest Renoise PC version 3.3.2, 64 bit (installed on a Samsung SSD 860 EVO 250 GB).
latest Waves versions 12.7 (64 bit VST3)
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
32 GB Ram
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8-Core CPU (8 Cores/16 Threads)
Roland TR-8S used as USB audio interface (ASIO)
all drivers are up to date

"Render slices to phrase" different in Renoise and Redux
The Redux version sounds more quantized and the numbers look rounded compared to Renoise. Am I missing some setting in the plugin?

Redux bug ( shift for chords )
When holding shift to enter chords , when the first note is entered it will advance to the next step , only then it will enter the notes on the current line .
This bug is only present when notes are entered from left to right
Example , hold shift and press Q,E,T ( note c,e,g on qwerty ) , when q is pressed it will advance to the next step >the it will enter the notes on the same line ( E,T )
Doing it in the reverse order T,E ,Q it behaves as expected ( all notes are entered on the same l
Edit ;only happens when Q (c on qwerty ) is first note ; just hold shift and press q several times , it will always avance to the next step
