A lot of times when I practice chords or other things on the Midi controller, I want to use Renoise to play something, as it’s my main music software currently.

Many of the instruments and samples are great for the kind of music Renoise is known for, but sometimes too wacky to practice chords or melodies on. I often just want a boring piano, flute, organ, sax, or strings sound. These traditional instrument sounds are also good for me to brainstorm song ideas with or record the tracks in a “rough draft” manner.

On a Yamaha keyboard or whatever this is easy, as many have 128 General Midi intruments, and if not that then they at least have the basics. In Renoise this takes extra time and can be frustrating.

Here’s some options I noticed…

1. Take the Renoise default instruments and remove a lot of the vibrato, flanger, delays, etc, all the effects, and you maybe end up with something that sounds like a regular piano, or a regular flute, etc

2. Try to find premade Renoise instruments in the backstage area that are more normal or traditional sounding.

3. Use ReWire in some manner, but I’m on Linux so that won’t work.

4. Use VSTs, but again many don’t work on Linux and I’m in the process of finding out a few that do. I like Dexed and Helm for synth tracks but I haven’t found one I want yet (hopefully FOSS, not proprietary) which would create General Midi type instruments.

The VST route from what I read isn’t as “native” and some Renoise effect commands and such would not work. Is this correct?

That leaves the Soundfonts and other files, but again I am not familiar with these.

So which of these would be better for normal, boring instruments that are more “native” or closer to the Renoise workflow, but also sound good and have some variety?

If I can’t figure this out, I’ll either need some standalone software to practice chords and melodies, or I’ll have to use an old Yamaha keyboard that has GM instruments.

Thanks.

The verse needs re-recording perhaps, but this is work in progress :))

Really anxious of hearing what you people think of it!

Hi all,

this is my very first post here. So it is guaranteed to be stupid

I wonder if it is possible to record a sample from Chrome or other application outputing some audio on the same PC.

Cheers,

Took me a while to get going with it, but with a bit of work, and learning how to do this without a piano-roll. Creates excellent tracks of all sorts in the electronic genre.

Hello,
I cant delete any file from Renoise internal filebrowser.
Using Manjaro and Gnome Desktop.

Error Message: Failed to send the file ‘/home/martin/Renoise/User Library/Samples/MyGuitar/2_e3.xrni’ to the Recycle Bin (unknown error).

This is because used “gvfs-trash” is deprecated. Use gio-trash instead.

It would also be a good function to make checkbutton to enable/disable hidden directories.
Thanks for your good work on this tracker

Hi,

is there a tool or built-in functionality, which lets me select a range of notes and then octaves down the highest note in the selection, or vice versa?

Hello I’m trying to get Renoise running on a Chromebook. I’m not sure if it’s possible, and to be honest i don’t have much experience with Linux through the terminal sandboxed on my chromebook.

I managed to get a download into usr/local and then ran the install.sh

I got a message saying installation of renoise SUCCEEDED and also one that says PAM seems not to be installed or configured for audio applications.

It added a renoise app icon into the chromebook menu, but this doesn’t open the app, so I’m assuming I’m missing something.

I’m on an acer chromebook 14 4gb. Linux 9 (stretch)

Like I say, I’m not sure if it’s even possible to run.

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi all
Just thought I’d share the first jungle tune I wrote on Renoise. Did it about 6 months ago. Mix is terrible, I am using 30 quid pc speakers that dont even register anything under like 47-48 hz :rollseyes: So it may be a bit rumbly. Possibly.
Cheers!

It’d be nice to be able to toggle track visibility in the pattern matrix, either manually or ideally automatically based on whether they contain pattern data or not.

Personally I don’t typically have pattern data in group or return tracks, and they end up needlessly taking up screen real estate in the pattern matrix. Example below where it’s showing a full 7 tracks that I don’t need to see.
