I was wondering, is there a way to do this without deleting the track?

A friend and i are working on a cover of an old rock song from the 1970’s, i’m doing the drums and synths in Renoise. We recorded our tracks (guitar, vocals, bass) against the original recording, but the tempo fluctuates by 2 or 3 bpm over the course of the song, probably because the band was using analog metronomes that weren’t so accurate. So instead of redoing all our takes, i added a track in my renoise module with ZTxx commands which adjust the tempo to match the original song.

What i’m wondering is, what if i wanted to completely disable this tempo fluctuation, but without scrapping it or keeping a bunch of backup xrns files, kind of like “commenting out” the track? Global commands are still executed even if the track is muted. Changing this would certainly break compatibility with existing rns/xrns modules, and adding an extra flag per track would be confusing and probably not the best way to do it. Maybe a “do global commands on muted tracks” flag in each song/module’s properties…?

On Windows 10:
Windows+R (run command): Control (enter) to open Classic Control Panel.
Choose Sound
Choose the 2nd tab, Recording Devices
Enable the Stereo Mix or Sum
not found? right-click in the list, mark “Show Disabled Devices” and “Show Hidden Devices”
still not found? download the latest Realtek codec at
https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/advanced-search/499?Itemid=276
https://www.realtek.com/en/downloads
or download a High Definition Audio Codec for your soundcard. See the bottom of this post on how to find the vendor and the subsys to find the correct drivers.

On MacOS:
Finder, choose Go > Utilities. Open the Audio MIDI Setup.
Control-click the device (Built-In Output),
or select the device to be used, (Built-In Output)
and click the Action menu gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar.
Choose “use this device for sound input”.

If you want to connect multiple sound cards to one input, read https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202000

On Linux via PulseAudio:
add PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) to your system. This is usually available in the distribution’s repository.
Ensure that PulseAudio is running.
Open PulseAudio Volume Control and choose the “Recording” tab.
In the "Capture from " dropdown, select the “Monitor” option of the playback device to record.
Then you can select the ALSA / pulse recording input in Renoise.

On Linux via JACK:
Jack may be started using QjackCtl or from the command-line.
Any Jack-compatible applications that are running will have their ports available in Device Toolbar (or rescan the devices).
Applications that do not directly support Jack may also be used with Jack on a system that uses PulseAudio (such as Ubuntu and Debian based distributions) by installing “pulseaudio-module-jack”. This provides the modules “Jack Source” and “Jack Sink” that allow PulseAudio to use Jack.

On Linux via ALSA:
Use alsamixer, type alsamixer in a terminal window. If a Mix device is shown as a capture device, set this as the active device to enable recording sounds that are playing on the computer.

Have fun!

It seems that the selection does not appear in the pattern editor despite defining the entire table in selection_in_pattern, if the user does not make a first selection with the mouse pointer first (or some selection keyboard command).

So the table may exist but the selection in the pattern editor is missing.

Steps to reproduce it:

1. Create a tool with an X function that correctly defines the entire table:

   renoise.song().selection_in_pattern = { a=b, c=d, bla bla = bla }

2. Create a button to execute that function.

3. Create a new song (File/New Song). In the new song the table selection_in_pattern is “nil”. Do not touch anything in the pattern editor with the mouse!

4. Execute the X function.

What happens

Function X will define the table (the table exist), but Renoise will not be able to display the selection in the pattern editor.

The problem is that first it will be necessary for the user to make a selection with the mouse pointer (or some selection keyboard command) and that is not desirable. The selection should appear from the beginning.

Do any of the Roland cloud VST instruments work with Renoise? I tried some supposed fixes that were supposed to make it work but I can’t get it to run inside of renoise, which is a total shame, is it possible? If so how? Using windows 10.

If you have made a song template with tracks and groups colored, these will be replaced with default colors when you switch to a new theme.

In my song template I use up to 4 groups nested.

You have to reload the song template to get the colors back, so don’t save your song template after changing theme or you’ll have overwritten your colors.

These functions could also be useful as FX modulators.

Switch
Outputs a digital “1” when the input level is greater than “0”.

Absolute Value
This function inverts negative values presented to it and leaves positive values alone. This device outputs only positive values.

Diode
This function only allows positive values to pass and blocks negative values.

Flip-Flop
The output of this processor alternates between a digital “1” and digital “0” each time the input goes positive from zero or a negative value. If an LFO wave were input, the output would be a square wave of half the input frequency.

Quantizer
If waveform = sawtooth, then output = staircase. The value steps controls the number of steps. The value of size controls the size of the steps.
Options: Waveform, Steps, Size.

Lag Processors
Slows down rapid changes in the input signal. The output “lags” behind the input at a programmed rate.
Option: Rate

I’m not sure if the word discriminator is correct, but the function is simple.

This function merges two or more samples together in a way that frequencies common to both sounds are accentuated while uncommon frequencies are discarded.

This function is very interesting for creating new sounds, it could also be useful to have the possibility to keep the old samples in order to make different combinations.

After the death of my beloved EMU e6400, I am missing some functions that could be developed in Renoise, or at least I would be happy to have them .

The first: Auto Correlation

Auto correlation simply means automatic correlation or comparison. The computer analyzes the signal around the loop points you have specified and then moves the end point of the loop until it finds a section of the wave that closely matches the section around the start point (phase and gain).

To be clearer:

Not this:

I think this happens with all iZotope plugins but for sure with both Neutron 3 adv and Ozone 9 adv.

Try make a basic kick track and a snare track, add Ozone or Neutron on the snare track, start playing the song, open the plugin and start clicking next preset from within the plugin and notice it’s out of sync by quite a lot. It also goes out of sync when muting the individual modules.

When you stop the song and start play it’s playing in sync.

I use latest versions of 64bit Renoise and iZotope plugs on Win 10.

Hi guys,

So my CookBook 002 is out on PRSPCT Records and as usual it relies heavily on Renoise. It summarises 20 years of music production, anchored in the early tracker scene on Amiga, FT2 and of course - Renoise. In fact there’s some really rare glimpses into Renoise builds that existed 18 years ago some of you might enjoy

Check it out and if you like it, share more some love and support and I’ll make more !

Cheers!

Neil

Playback Loop Selection

Playback Loop Selection or PLS play in loop the selection in the pattern editor from a key command (suggestion: [CTRL + ALT + L]).

Go to Renoise/Edit/Preferences/Keys: “Pattern Editor:Selection:Playback Loop Selection” to link it.

Warning!

This tool is not highly accurate at very high speeds (BPM and LPB very high). In this extreme case, you can play some line after the selection. It won’t happen with reasonable use of Renoise.

Related link: Playback loop selection Ideas & suggestions I know this idea has been discussed since 2010, but can we implement a Ctrl+L to play loop a selection in the pattern? i know about the block loops 1/16 to 1/2 but i am producing radio gingles, fx etc that do not follow a straight grid, i am convinced that it s nothing to implement, or at least to code a new tool for that! Thanks lovely team <3

Thanks to @mat-weasel for suggesting this tool…

Enjoy it!

Hello there,

I am trying to figure out how to trigger different phrases using the keyboard while the phrases are in program mode. I have multiple phrases setup which are triggered by the main editor but I like to choose them at will rather than have them preset. I want to be able to quickly select different phrases using the computer keyboard. I have tried setting up a instrument midi control along with a keytracker to see if I could set it up to trigger different patterns using the keyboard but I haven’t had success.

I am sure there is an easier way to do this but it has escaped me so far. I don’t think keymap is what I am looking for because it stops playing once I let go of the key.

The pop up window for both the help and the menus remains blank in Logic pro 10.5.1 until you move the mouse over it. Problem is the help windows disappear too fast to move the mouse over. This does not occur in FL Studio 20.7.

This is on Catalina 10.15.5.
