Ever considered doing some type of pulse width “modulation” natively in Renoise? It got the tools to do it…just don’t expect exact ratio/percentile control.
Pretty simple process:

• Within an instrument you’ll lay down 3 FX chains
• “Input” chain sends the same audio to two other FX chains.
  
• “Inverse” chain inverts the audio signal and uses the delay DSP to modulate the delayed audio signal. A Hydra DSP or Macro is recommended for controlling the delay L/R offset parameters. Note that you’ll need to mute the source to not amplify the original signal. The Send parameter can be modulate to act as a “Dry/Wet” parameter. Be sure you place a gainer FX on the track to invert the audio.
  
  -Lastly the “Mixdown” chain to mix both audio signals into one.

As I said earlier, it’s not precise due to the fact ever note operates at a different frequency. You’re modulating the time it takes for a signal to invert and play instead. So technically speaking this is more of a “pulse width time modulation method” but it gets to the point. Beyond that caveat it’s a nifty trick for certain applications if you find you need it.

Demonstrating a saw wave applying this concept.

I’m having trouble linking the plugin Bassynth by Wave Alchemy to Renoise. I watched the plugin tutorial and everything seems to be set up correctly in the plugin preferences and I’m pretty sure I made the file pathways correct. My setup is in the attached photo to further convey my problem. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

So I bought an app called Velocity Keyboard, which apparently has MPE support. Though I connected my iPad Air 3 to my gaming desktop, the app doesn’t recognize it as a Bluetooth MIDI destination, so doesn’t Audiobus. Do I need to install a driver. I just want to try out the MPE features of Newfangled Audio’s Generate without having to buy a Linnstrument.

Please ask me to make a website for you.

I can make a (artist) website for you.

I need (links to) music or videos on SoundCloud, Bandcamp, YouTube,
links to your online profiles,
a descriptive about text
and your email for display at contact.

I can then make a website with http://eatme.pro/sitemaker
reserve backup website mirror: https://ietmie.neocities.org/sitemaker

• you can also try it yourself for free.

On my recent projects I’ve been making use of an old MIDI module that relies on program change commands to initialize and switch patches on MIDI channels. I do this via the M2 pattern command. For certain channels (which I’ve assigned to individual instruments), I like to create phrases when I need to do something that’s not feasible in the regular pattern mode, and switch to keymap mode and assign the phrases to notes that I know I won’t use for melodic purposes.

Now the problem. Since I use the M2 command at the start to initialize patches on every channel, this also causes the corresponding instruments that contain phrase data to switch to using that phrase (or the closest one to it) in program mode, which makes it affect every note. This is undesirable behavior, so does anyone know how to disable it?

In the case that it’s not possible, does anyone know an efficient workaround? Currently I’ve thought of two, but I can’t use them for one reason or another:

1. Place Z7F commands on every note I don’t want a phrase to activate on (way too time consuming)

2. Insert a series of system exclusive messages in the beginning of the song to disable program change message receiving on all necessary channels on the module, then place M2 7F commands after that (hypothetical, as Renoise doesn’t natively support sysex insertions and I don’t yet have a method of doing this in real time)

Hello,

Are there cool websites to find cool musical contests?

I would prefer:

• free contests
• free choice of the daw
• free choice of the style

I don’t care about prices. My goal is just to find some cool contests to have fun. Something with stems or sample packs. And deadlines around 1 or 2 months. Does it exist?

Thanks.

Hey guys. Using latest MacOS, M1 MacBook and latest Renoise versions.
In ‘Activity Monitor’ I noticed that even when only a blank Renoise project is opened and nothing is playing Renoise is still eating ~15 on energy impact (while also taking 300Mb memory and around 10% CPU). Is this an expected behavior? And if not, can I provide any details to help you resolve this thing?
This seems to drain the battery, slowly but steadily.

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but it would be very helpful to have a quick way to adjust volume and pan for each FX lane in the instrument FX. That is, without having to click on each lane and move the mouse down into the device lane.
For instance, using the mouse wheel on the little meter at the end of each FX chain would be an option for changing volume (and holding down a keyboard modifier while using the mouse wheel for pan)?

I’ve been starting to enjoy reimagining a couple of songs, without just being a straight up cover. Here’s a couple below (who’d have thought Mariah Carey would end up sounding like a stalker?)

Hi there,

Is it possible merge two songs (including instruments and VSTs) or import a part of a song (few patterns) into another one?

Thanks!

Hello,

I’m relatively new to Redux – I’ve only been using it for a few months. After updating to Redux 1.2.2, I get this error message whenever I open an Ableton file that had an instance of Redux in it:

After hitting ok, the Redux instance is set to init and demo version – I deleted the demo version from my computer though. If I open a new instance of Redux, it shows the correct registration, etc.

I tried deleting the temp files referenced, and I tried restarting Ableton and my computer, but nothing seems to be solving the issue.

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. It really sucks because I programmed out some (what I thought were) pretty cool and intricate breakbeats that now seem lost due to this error.

Thanks

Hehe. I just installed Protracker in my Amiga Emulator. Damn, I’ll never say anything bad about UIs today. I mean, I was quite good on Protracker in the early days but now I almost forgot everything. Lol.

Hey y’all! A new user to Renoise here, making the switch after 10 years of using 0cc-FamiTracker.

Is there any shot for adding a toggle for flats instead of sharps? For me, it makes a lot more sense reading music in flats instead of sharps and it kinda hinders my progress if things aren’t “correct” for me. Would love to see this option added if possible!

Another unrelated question considering that I’m a newbie to this program, but is there a way to reassign how the piano is laid out on my computer keyboard? I want to remove some keys in order to reassign keys such as the “=” and “]” keys. Thanks!

As the title says, I don’t really get the difference between wavetable synthesis and granular synthesis with only one grain, like in the polyend tracker - which has both wavetable and granular (with one grain).
I think that granular shines when you use multiple grains all over the sample and automate their positions, that makes for some intriguing pads. But what if its limited to one grain? Isn’t it basically the same as wavetable synthesis with automated wavetable position?
