The LFO and the formula device delay the input signal by some milliseconds, even if the LFO is using a line as transfer function and the formula device is using y=A.

Both devices should introduce the exact PDC instead.

Steps to reproduce:

• Use a hydra to control two signals/parameters of a later effect device, using the same settings.
• Now insert a LFO and later the formula device into the signal chain of the second signal
• The second slider now is a bit delayed.

Correct behaviour:

Hi,

I’ve made a doofer which is some kind of dynamics module. It uses a signal follower which controls a bus compressor. Now I would like to get the signal followers input from another track/sidechain instead. So I have to move the signal follower out of the doofer, or maybe even unwrap all chidren modules to the parent layer.

I am already using all 8 doofer knob slots, so I also can’t send the signal followers output into a macro knob… Any idea for quickly resolve this problem? Thanks.

EDIT: Oh damn, I also cannot target the master track from a send track…

Will it be the exact same signal, if I move the signal follower to the parent level, and then use a marco knob for the sf’s output? Or are the macro knob somehow more limited in time frame resolution?

I’m a total noob when it comes to renoise and music production for the most part and I’ve never used plugins. I’m making hardcore/breakcore and I would like to make hard hitting kicks for my songs. I would like to know how to use a VST with renoise basically, in case I use other synth VSTs. Plz help

Hello Folks,

is there any possibility ( Option or plugin) for Renoise to see what Note is Played when tip with mouse on Renoise virtuall Keyboard???

The background is, my Style of Record. I try some melody with mouse on virtual keyboard and then i switch from SampleEdit Window to track/colums Window to record. (where i no see the virtual Keyboard. Then my record stuck because of searching the right note/key for the Tip on the virtual Keyboard in Samplewindow.

Good Solution would be an undock floating Virtual Keyboard, which i can see in trackwindow as overlay for instance. Or at least see the note Value when tipping a virtual key in samplewindow which i can memory.

Hope i explain my wants/needs clearly. Any Advices are welcome.

happy tracking

I have collected songs old and new into two releases on Spotify after being pestered to do so by friends.

Escapism was written, recorded and compiled about 18 months ago, but never released as an album because I didn’t have a distributor (using Distrokid now, but I don’t know if it’s any better or worse than other distributors). All these songs are also on Soundcloud.

MKLBST · Album · 2021 · 11 songs.

The more recent album consists of songs made during lockdown, as the title suggests. I guess these songs are on Soundcloud too, but I have made some alterations to them, for a variety of reasons.

I just made this here: It’s not my usual genre but as I rediscovered the magic of Renoise recently and as I am actually now really planning to produce a full album, you might want to listen to this.

I don’t know where I get these weird names from but this one of the last songs made before making the plunge into quitting dope (I was high). That day I was finishing it up I woke up on the floor with tourniquet still on my arm and a needle in my hand. That was a relapse. I felt fine that day because I tapered off in a very smooth controlled way. I ruined it and made myself feel more sick 2 days later then I any other day. The song was inspired by all the fighting, suicidal depression, the stupid girl I was involved in who first let me have a threesome with her and her other friend and ended with her putting a knife to my throat after she once again extorted money out of my stupid ass and I threatened to crash the car and kill both of us if she didn’t give me my money back. I realized most people who I thought were friends were there to just use me… It’s amazing how clear the world looks now. So much detail. Everything was a low-rez blur past year or so.

Hello good people!

I’m picking up my old Renoise addiction and all that misses is a good midi keyboard (with extra pads would be nice).
Any suggestions? Budget doesn’t matter to much.

Drop your knowledge and experiences.

Thanks!

Hi. All of a sudden when I hit record the track I’m recording into starts populating with loads of delay, panning and instrument numbers. Even if I hit record and don’t touch anything on my keyboard but just let the song play it keeps adding in all this stuff.

Hi guys!

I’m recording a hiphop album with some friends for fun and would love to have a Renoise built track on it. Also to learn how to make hiphop in Renoise in the future. I started out using trackers and Renoise in the early 2000’s for hardstyle mostly but want to pick it up again. If someone can make me (or has) a great hiphop beat I would love to buy it!. Name a price! I would like the xrns file so I can learn and adjust things while making the song. I would like a old skool type beat (bit jazzy or funky is nice as well). I’m not lazy but just out of the producing game for a while and don’t want to go to the regular websites for a track.

Hope someone can help!

MONO / POLY INPUT A GLOBAL CONTROL.

Is there a solution ,

how come this is not an option ?

plenty of space on the transport bar to fit the controls options:

Mono / on off .

Poly / on off . toggle ^

and 0 to 8 - up down . i.e restrict Mono Poly to No change 0 , 1 lane to 8 lanes aka notes to be played / recorded.

Fixes most of the issues , using a midi keyboards / computer keyboard while recording notes, monophonic lines or chords. or chords limited to an amount of lanes or polyphonic notes . 2 or 3 etc.
If this is not an option in 2021 , can someone forward it to the bods upstairs .

dont tell me theres a plugin to do this??

——————————

From the manuals WITH EDITS ,

Polyphonic vs. Monophonic Recording

Sequential (monophonic) recording can often be better when recording drums or monophonic instruments. The Mono button allows you to toggle between recording a single note at a time or multiple notes simultaneously (chords). This is located in the Instrument Properties panel, found at the top right of the interface in Redux and near the top right while in the Sampler, Plugin and MIDI tabs of Renoise.

When entering notes step by step with the computer keyboard, they will by default be placed sequentially. If you want to quickly insert chords without live recording, you can do this by holding down “Left Shift” *WHY WHY WHY CRAZY LOL * …. while entering the notes. This will automatically create new note columns to the right and enter the new notes there. THE MONO POLY BUTTON WOULD FIX THAT Holding shift why why why…

Note that MIDI keyboards will always record chords when pressing more than one key at a time. <— REALLY!! To quote " (monophonic) recording can often be better when recording drums or “ , then why is there no MONO / POLY option globally ??

^^^ exactly why there needs to be a GLOBAL CONTROL FOR MONO POLY INPUT .

Tip , put it in the transport bar.

PLEASE

I came back to my computer after leaving Renoise open for a few days and the Log.txt file had bloated to 60GB and filled up the rest of my hard drive space. It seems Renoise had been writing the following error message over and over:

I would expect there to be some guard to stop a repeating error message from filling up all hard drive space.

I want to experiment with the Formula Device but I don’t know how to begin.

I understand the premise of the device. It’s take inputs, runs formulas, and generates an output based on those formulas that can be mapped to a desired location. No problems there.

My issue is with the actual creation of the formulas themselves. I have no idea how to write them or how to get started writing them. I’ve read the “help” menu details in the device with all the listed “variables” “math constants” “musical variables” & “functions” and I can grasp their purpose in that they are what is used to create the formulas, but again, I have no idea how to actually write my own formulas using them.

What do I need to study so I can get started with this?

Do I need to learn a specific type of math used for DSP math like trigonometry? Do I need to learn the LUA programming language to write formulas? And if so there any specific resources like websites, books, etc, that I should refer to learn from?

Thanks

Not really sure this is a Renoise thing, so I posted this in this category.

I recently got myself a GoXLR Mini mostly to be able to mix audio when I’m streaming easier. The problem I have now (which I didn’t have pre GoXLR) is that when any audio is played outside Renoise I can see the VU-meter (in Renoise) react to that audio. Doesn’t matter if I use the GoXLR Asio Driver or DirectSound using different audio devices. The GoXLR creates a bunch of devices so you can control audio with the faders on the devide.

Before I used an old Focusrite Scarlet Solo audio interface and didn’t have this problem.

Anyone had any similar experience?

Was messing around with a snare drum sound, and suddenly this thing appears!

In hindsight some bass plucks would really amp up the sneak, how could I forget?

Hi all,

Still embarrassingly new to Renoise, and specifically to mixing & mastering. I recently learned about ISO 226:2003 and the concept of equal loudness contours; specifically, that not only do different parts of the frequency spectrum need to be played at different sound pressures (“physical” volumes) in order to be perceived as being equally loud (same “subjective” volume), but that this contour varies slightly (flattens off) as the reference volume increases. I’m also starting to develop the habit of using my eyes as well as my ears: for example, I only recently noticed that when viewing the spectrum in Renoise as a curve (rather than spectrogram), the frequency contribution of the currently highlighted track is actually overlaid on the total curve in the current track’s colour!

I get that there’s no such thing as a magical ISO 226:2003 mastering plugin, that it’s all subjective, and that it can even vary by genre - mids get a perceptual boost at higher volumes, so to a certain extent, mastering for a “target listening volume” is a thing, and explains why plugins like Fletchy-Muncher exist. Also that you shouldn’t just target full loudness across the spectrum across a whole track; again of course norms & expectations vary across genres, but dynamic variation is definitely a good thing!

That said, there does seem to be an obvious gap in Renoise’s built-in visualisation tools here. Anyone know of any tools that visually overlay one or more target equal loudness contours over the spectrum? Any monitoring VSTs that do something like this? Is it something that could be written in Lua as a Renoise script? (I haven’t played with scripting at all yet, I have no idea whether scripts have the ability to draw on the UI.) I recently laid down half a track, thought it was really well balanced, when when I went back the next day, realised the mix was all over the place: far too prominent snare, and the lead just completely drowned out the vocals. I know the concept of “tired ears” or “losing your ear” for a track is a thing, but maybe being able to see it better might help combat this.

My tracks may not be musical masterpieces, but I am trying to at least get the “best sounding” versions of my tracks out there, preferably without spending a ton of money on studio monitors I already had one bad experience releasing a track only to discover later that the bass completely swamps the mix in listening conditions other than my “studio” (AKA the spare bedroom at home), and I feel like being able to get a visual feel for this rather than relying purely on my ears & listening on a variety of headphones/speakers would help to reign in problem frequencies, or understand why something sounds muddy.

I remixed a trance-track by Vincent Lee, who is some sort of famous youtuber/twitch-Streamer here in germany. His channel deals about music production with primary ableton but in this case he tested to work with FLStudio. As he could not finish his track, he uploaded the stems and asked the community to remix this track.

I did it.

With Renoise in Linux. Here’s the Result.

Strange behaviour - pluigns (like Vital for example) drains CPU before they start to be using. I mean - I have for example 10 Vital instruments and after I load song, CPU is instantly go to 99.9% and song plays choppy. BUT - when I play them one by one - CPU usage decreasing (every instrument/plugin activation - when it starts playing) and remains at lower level after instruments ends playing.

Why is it 99.9% anyway if I see in system that IDLE process is about 70% at the same time?

CPU: i7-8700k @ 4.7 GHz

Not sure if this is possible but is there a way to sync a wave to another wave’s pitch inside the sampler?
I think its called oscillator sync

For more information on what I’m referring to to:
(I skipped to the part where he shows what it sounds like)

Oscillator sync is a feature in some synthesizers with two or more VCOs, DCOs, or "virtual" oscillators. As one oscillator finishes a cycle, it resets the period of another oscillator, forcing the latter to have the same base frequency. This can produce a harmonically rich sound, the timbre of which can be altered by varying the synced oscillator's frequency. A synced oscillator that resets other oscillator(s) is called the master; the oscillators which it resets are called slaves. There are two ...
