No way to hide all FX columns with keys?

May 19, 2025 - 18:04

Every other column can be easily hidden with a keyboard shortcut, but it seems you need to use the mouse to get rid of the very last FX column (i.e. when there is only one). Maybe it would make sense for the “Decrease Number of Columns” shortcut to do this.

I could be missing something, as I vaguely remember some obscure key shortcut that hides all unused columns?

[new tool] Industrializer

May 18, 2025 - 11:15

Hello,
So, on the impulse of Achenar after watching his video about creating industrial sound (thanks),
I sat down and added some information to my tool and I am also releasing it.
Tool is based on “IXA” synthesis, but since this technology is patented,
it is just my attempt to get closer to it (I’m kidding, I modified it again according to how it suits me).
I try to create industrial and other technical sounds from the field of electrosmog.

Tool: Industrializer
Thanks for your support.

AI can create Renoise Tools from scratch

May 17, 2025 - 09:52

I’m developing a tool right now using Grok, X’s AI. ChatGPT and Grok both seem capable of creating full-fledged Renoise Tools from scratch if you tell them what you want them to do and how they should work.

I got a lot of errors at first, but I fed those back into the AI, and it was able to figure out its own mistakes and eventually make working tools for me. I was about to give up on Grok programming my tool when I fed its script to ChatGPT, and ChatGPT immediately identified the problem, which I then sent back to Grok.

By no means a seamless process, but it does work.

There is a lot of flexibility—you can even ask it, “Do you have any ideas to improve my tool?” and it will offer all sorts of suggestions.

Worth checking out. You don’t need to know anything about coding at all.

5s max delay time

May 16, 2025 - 03:21

Hey folks,

I’m working on a live looper made out of native devices, and the 5 second max delay time in Multitap Delay isn’t enough time for the applications I have in mind. Anybody know a workaround?

Midi Mapping fails because of pitch bend

May 15, 2025 - 16:53

I have the midi controller M-VAVE SMC-Mixer.

Midimapping works great - except the sliders!.

They are delivering pitch wheel values instead of control messages.
Is there any way to get this working in Renoise?

Hi, I'm new. Would like some feedback on my Renoise tracks

May 15, 2025 - 09:31

I’ve been working on music solely in Renoise for around 5 months now in my spare time. I’ve also recently picked up TouchDesigner to try and add audio-reactive visuals. If any of you could give my youtube playlist a listen and give me some feedback. Perhaps there are Renoise features that I should start using or maybe my mixing feels off in certain tracks. Just let me know. I just want to get better at making music in Renoise and in general. I also want to further develop my own style. Maybe there are even some techniques you all could inform me about. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to listen and give feedback/advice.

Any Free General Midi VST or equivalent Synth?

May 14, 2025 - 22:16

I want the General Midi sounds, like in some Dungeon Synth or Ambient BM. I do not expect full concert hall quality fidelity - if it sounds like 2000s Casio it’s ok. I can throw some Chorus, Reverb and filter stuff.

Early 00's in Renoise / Ps1 aesthetics made in Blender

May 14, 2025 - 05:16

zolyosfx - put everything else aside

Hello everyone
2nd track made in Renoise, which I’m proud of. It gives me a vibe of early 00s electronica and I was inspired to make this little loop to illustrate it. (Yes I played too much Racing Lagoon)

Hope you enjoy it !! Thanks for listening

How to have "Draw" always on in External Editor of Stepper device?

May 11, 2025 - 14:58

Hi, I use a multitude of Stepper tools in Instruments. such as
Volume Stepper, Pitch Stepper, Pan Stepper, Drive Stepper, Cutoff Stepper, Resonance Stepper.

but, when i switch between the Steppers, the “DRAW” mode is always OFF. how do i force the “DRAW” mode to always be ON?

as regards shortcuts, these are the only things that reference Draw. one is for drawing in Automation, one is for i guess drawing in sample. i tried the Toggle Draw Mode in Sample Editor, while in Pitch Stepper External Editor, and nothing happened.

how do i proceed?

[new tool] RotoOSC

May 11, 2025 - 11:26

Hello,
I just released this experimental sample creation tool.

The oscillator simulates harmonic oscillations with different frequencies, phases,
and frequency ratios for the X, Y, and Z axes.

How Does It Work?

  1. The oscillator has three “axes” (X, Y, Z), each oscillating at different frequencies (speeds of oscillation).
  2. Users can set:
  • Frequency: How fast the oscillator oscillates (e.g., higher frequency = higher pitch).
  • Frequency Ratios: How the oscillation speeds differ between axes (e.g., the Y-axis can oscillate twice as fast as the X-axis).
  • Phase: The starting position of the oscillation (e.g., whether the wave starts at its peak or zero).
  • Feedback: How much the previous signal “feeds back” to influence the new one (this can create interesting effects like distorted sound).
  • Attack and Decay: How quickly the signal rises (gets louder) and falls (gets quieter).
  • further settings for my experimental FX section where I try out stereo echo and Helmholtz resonator

Xfer Serum2 VST3 UI stutter in Renoise

May 10, 2025 - 20:28

Whenever the Serum2 UI is open and there are animated elements, the Renoise UI starts to stutter and the Serum2 UI stutters as well. I know that Reason 13 had similar issues and they’re currently tweaking their VST3 implementation in the latest beta because of that. Apparently, the Xfer developer is in touch with the Reason Studios devs about it. There’s a demo version of Serum2 available, so it should be reproducible with that. Not sure if this is just happening on my end or if it might be a more general issue.

Vital envelope resets when trying to render song to disc

May 10, 2025 - 14:48

I noticed that something sounded off about the song when I exported it. I found that the Vital envelope gets reset when I click the Start button. Any ideas on why this is happening?

You can see a video of this happening here

Feature request: focus track DSP pane from editor

May 7, 2025 - 17:14

Hey,
I’d like to be able to hit CMD+F in the editor and focus on track DSP pane for following combo:

  1. enter some notes
  2. hit cmd+f
  3. type eq, use arrows + tab + enter to add fx to track

additional: can we remove need to have to press ‘tab’ after typing fx name to switch from search bar focus to the actual fx?
what would i expect:

  1. type name in search bar
  2. (skip tab part)
  3. use arrow to go down and select plugin

I hope i was clear. if not, let me know. Thanks

Tech Step commencing

May 7, 2025 - 13:36

I think I am going to make a Tech Step track.

Some comments before. I think it would be better to have an 18dB filter only, to simplify things. (One does not need confusion in choice here.) Also the old school hex command input, should be replaced by automation curves. A general tightening up of the tracker interface possibly. Not so many Oscilloscopes, two (stereo) is enough.

Tech Step also is a tightening up of Trance. One grew tired of phasey trackeq+mastereq+multiband sound a long time ago. This tries for a subband saturation only, over Low ratio compression if any, to clip sound.

Anyone else into Tech Step?

4 track live looper Doofer (prototype)

May 6, 2025 - 15:52

Hey all,

Here is a doofer I made inspired by a renoise student’s lesson. It is an LPC synced 4 track live looping doofer that allows for line input (microphone) or looping of any audio stream that you insert it into.

Macros are as follows:

Macro 1: input select “ø,1,2,3,4” determines which tap of the mtdelay unit is being used for audio buffering. ø is no input to the looper. This honestly isn’t super useful in this iteration of the looper, but in a future version I will allow for more creative control of individual inputs/“tracks”
But it does allow you to bypass looper recording when set to ø, so you can jam over your loops

Macro 2:“on>mute” This mutes the output of the looper without clearing the recording buffer

Macro 3: “clear/kill” this clears the recording buffer whenever this macro is moved. All recorded audio is deleted, never to return

Macro 4: “sync LPC” This controls the loop rate in multiples of 2 LPC. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 255 LPC are all available. 255 may not be that useful lol

Macro 5: “FB” controls the feedback level on all delay taps/buffers simultaneously. Allows for negative feedback values as well. Perhaps you don’t want a true looper, but only a long delay. Use this one. Otherwise set and forget at max value for 100% FB

Macro 6: “LP freq” The taps all have LP filtering enabled. this sets the cutoff frequency for all taps simultaneously. Offering further sound sculpting possibility if used as a long delay unit. Otherwise set and forget at max value.

Macro 7: “line input” This is a simple switch which enables a line input device for recording from external audio input into the looper. Of course, you will need to set up your recording preferences accordingly

Hope this is useful to some of you out there. Let me know if it gets some use, and I’d love to hear any live looping renoise jams you come up with.

I will probably make an improved version of this sometime. Or maybe not. Life is full
