Issue selecting correct program from my Casio keyboard

Renoise Forum - March 22, 2025 - 16:14

Hello,

I’m trying to use Renoise to control a CASIO keyboard. I’m having trouble getting access to all the sounds in the keyboard using the MIDI tab with the output controls. For example, if I look at the tone list in the manual for the keyboard, I see these two options:

Tone 342 (WARM PAD) is program 89, MSB bank 1, LSB bank 0
Tone 343 (FAT SAW PAD) is program 89, MSB bank 2, LSB bank 0

In the MIDI output control, if I select the right program (for some reason I have to select 90, not 89), I will get the WARM PAD sound. But no matter how I manipulate the bank setting or the LSB/MSB setting, I can never get the FAT SAW PAD sound. Changing the bank makes no difference. Therefore, the FAT SAW PAD tone is not accessible to me, which is frustrating!

If I send MIDI date from the keyboard to Renoise, the settings in the MIDI output controls will change in real time when I turn the knob. But when I switch between these two tones, the program just stays at 90 and nothing in the bank setting changes.

Can anyone offer any guidance? How can I make Renoise send the bank change so I can access all my sounds?

Thanks!

Amiga tuning file

Renoise Forum - March 22, 2025 - 09:43

Does somebody has a Amiga tracker tuning file? I think this was in Soundtracker and Protracker, pitches were rounded to integer values or something…? Ah maybe that doesn’t work with a tuning file?

Drag And Drop Samples from Instrument List to Convolver DSP

Renoise Forum - March 18, 2025 - 12:24

Hello again!

It would be helpful to add the ability to send samples from the browser (instrument box) to the convolver, making it easier and faster to work with impulse responses. Additionally, it would be great to have the option to transfer samples created or loaded in VST instruments directly to the browser (instrument box) for better organization and workflow efficiency.

Thank you!

Windows: Strange ROLAND ZENOLOGY VST issue I've had for the longest time now

Renoise Forum - March 17, 2025 - 19:14

Whenever I open the Zenology VST window and move my mouse cursor onto it while the song is playing, Renoise starts to lag like crazy, and when I move my mouse cursor away from the Zenology window and back to Renoise, the lag completely stops.

I almost didn’t make this post because it feels like such a super obscure issue, but I’d appreciate any help or suggestions.

Here’s a short video of what it looks like: FbShare - View uploads

This doesn’t happen with NI Kontakt, UVI Workstation, Arturia Analog Lab or any other VST “portal”. It’s just Zenology.

I’m running the latest version of Renoise and Zenology on up to date Windows 11. 4090 / i9 / 64gb.

Can current Song.xml be accessed without saving & unzipping?

Renoise Forum - March 16, 2025 - 19:14

I have a track open in Renoise. It’s got bunches of samples.
Is the Song.xml “available somewhere”, or is it only available after saving, which, then, requires you to unzip the .xrns for Song.xml and then do something with it?

Tool Idea: export track names and instruments/effects to text

Renoise Forum - March 16, 2025 - 13:34

Hi
I wonder if this is possible to program…a text file which lists all track names, with instrument names used on the track and effects/devices used for each track.

eg.

Track 1: Bongo Rhythmn

Instruments: C6 SAMP Bongo.wav, F9 INST Serum

Effects: NATIVE Filter, PLUGIN D16 Frontier

Track 2: Bass Line

etc

I don’t need any parameter information. This would really help rebuild old tracks with missing plugins and effects.

Is it possible?

Thanks
Chris [midierror]

MIDI Mappings not loaded with Effect Chain

Renoise Forum - March 14, 2025 - 04:32

Hi,

In Renoise Sampler, MIDI Mappings are not restored when loading an Effect Chain preset.

Steps to reproduce bug:

  1. Start with a new song and create a Sampler Effect Chain
  2. Add any Effect (I tried Native, VST and VST3)
  3. Open the MIDI Mapping dialog
  4. Map a few parameters to MIDI controls (I tried encoders with 0-127 output)
  5. Save Preset As… using the drop-down menu
  6. Load your new preset using the drop-down menu
  7. MIDI Mappings are gone

However, repeating basically the same steps with a Modulation Set (instead of an Effect Chain) works as expected: MIDI Mappings are loaded with the preset.

Tested in Renoise 3.4.4 Linux x86_64

Add midi mapping for deleting at cursor position and insterting note-offs

Renoise Forum - March 13, 2025 - 22:37

Is there any way to create a midi mapping for the functions of the delete key and the caps lock key? I’ve spent some time looking through the api documentation but it is very possible I just missed it.

Linux+JACK: renoise sometimes crashes when outputting MIDI to ardour+drumgizmo

Renoise Forum - March 13, 2025 - 12:38

Linux Mint 22.1 using JACK, renoise 3.4.4 crashed twice today while i was working on a hard rock/metal track with a simple synth (1 sample through a few effects) and a midi instrument sending midi to ardour with drumgizmo loaded. Also a bunch of other drum samples were loaded but not used. Just suddenly without reason, the audio becmoes a loud buzzing sound for a few seconds during which JACK registers hundreds of xruns, then renoise just segfaults and terminates. I can resume work by restarting renoise, the JACK session itself and other apps don’t seem affected.

Automatic Phrase Distribution in Redux

It would be really handy to have an option in redux to distribute phrases by individual keys in keymap mode (like “Drum Kit” button in keyzones editor)

Buy a cheap M4 Mac Mini as pc desktop replacement / audio workstation?

Renoise Forum - March 12, 2025 - 19:41

Some of you already did, how is your experience with Renoise and heavy projects on a M4 Mac Mini?

I would like to retire my old and rusty i7 4770 Hackintosh desktop, and as far as I can interpret the benchmarks, that tiny m4 Mac Mini is about 3x as fast as that i7, and also takes 1/5 of the energy only. And it costs about 615 EUR now…

I also read and seen reports that you now can buy 3rd party ssd replacements for it, 2tb for around 300 EUR. Still expensive, but already way better than before in Apple world. Also it can simply boot from an external TB4 ssd, too. So even if the internal SSD dies, you can actually replace it very easily.

Here are my questions:

  1. What is your experience as an (audio) workstation and in Renoise?

  2. Can the m4 also boot into the recent version of macos 14? (macos downgrade)

  3. Did you already disable Apple Intelligence system daemons? (seems to be useless, memory hog and a data privacy leak)

  4. Is there still Spotlight in macos 15, or did the AI stuff replace it completely?

  5. Any idea how it compares to an m1 pro machine, regarding audio performance in heavy projects? The plain benchmark seem to indicate that the basic m4 even is faster, but it lacks of performance cores, too…

  6. Any idea for a 4x 2,5 hdd usb-c housing or so?

  7. I am not 100% sure if I read the Apple specs correctly, so the HDMI port on the M4 can output 4k with 240Hz?

Thanks for help and insights.

Phrase Line 2 Is Blank After Raising Length From 1

Renoise Forum - March 11, 2025 - 19:27


Lower the phrase length to 1 then raise it to 2. The second line will be completely blank until you so something else with the phrase. Only happens if the UI Scaling is >100%.

Perfectly sync sample notes with audio output

Renoise Forum - March 10, 2025 - 19:54

Pulled Renoise onto a laptop with no plugins or anything else installed, just wanted to throw down quick things with the included samples and instruments.

First noticed this when I loaded the Bass AM Talk.xrni with the phrase looper … when I click play, I don’t hear the audio until 2 beats have passed visually. What?

So threw a kick on another channel in the main view. Doesn’t seem to matter what samples I load, visuals are off by 2 beats.

I’m not doing anything crazy here. Latency is set to 20ms, but it doesn’t seem to matter what settings I’m tweaking, I can’t seem to get the audio output to align visually with Renoise steps. The Sync offset setting does nothing, +/- 100ms or at 0.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get the audio and visual aligned? I don’t care about VST MIDI or external routing, etc. I just want basic sample audio aligned with the track notes.

Thanks
