Through that link you can listen via any streaming service of your choice. This is a beast of an album; One hour of music, with the idea that there has to be something new coming at the listener at all times. I was heavily inspired by classic electronic music (Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk), more modern electronica/idm (Röyksopp, Boards of Canada) and also the MS-DOS games of my youth. It’s all very experimental.

Hope you have a listen and enjoy! All comments welcome too!

Thanks,

Hey guys

So this track was originally meant to be the outro to another song that i was working on. But, i just decided to make it is own song.

So in my earlier childhood in the late 00s to early 2010s, when me and my family were on pretty hard times, up until 2016. There was this kids channel on antenna TV that i used to watch, it actually ceased airing year a couple months ago.

It was called “Qubo”; and it aired for 2006 - 2021, for me, the period where i was watching was about 2010 - 2014, around that time period, give or take.

And Qubo, was really one of the things that i really looked forward to when i came home from school. I remember i used to watch it heavily throughout those earlier years.

So this song is basically just a remix or flip of a theme song of a show that used to air own the channel. That theme song being Babar, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG3y04Xc2Uw

Matter of fact, it used to air on Qubo’s nighttime block, “Qubo : Night Owl”

That was one of the shows that came on that block, in the event that i was up that late.

So that’s pretty much the sort of inspiration for this track.

As always, if you have any feedback, general composition, mixing, things of that nature, feel free to speak your mind,

Thanks for reading and taking the time to listen and i hope you enjoy.

I’ve made a plugin called Oversample that allows you to quickly set a parameter of a VST effect device to a specific value (used for turning “Oversample”, “High Quality”, etc., on and off).

This plugin therefore needs to enumerate all devices and their parameters in a song. When enumerating the parameters of VST2 devices, I get the full list of parameters, but when doing the same for VST3 devices, some parameters are missing. For the plugin Fabfilter Pro-C 2, the parameters start to differ at index 41. See the table below:

Index VST2 Parameter VST3 Parameter 1 Style Style 2 Threshold Threshold 3 Ratio Ratio 4 Knee Knee 5 Range Range 6 Attack Attack 7 Release Release 8 Auto Release Auto Release 9 Lookahead Lookahead 10 Hold Hold 11 Wet Gain Wet Gain 12 Wet Pan Wet Pan 13 Dry Gain Dry Gain 14 Dry Pan Dry Pan 15 Auto Gain Auto Gain 16 Side Chain Expert Mode Side Chain Expert Mode 17 Side Chain Input Side Chain Input 18 Side Chain Level Side Chain Level 19 Stereo Link Stereo Link 20 Stereo Link Mode Stereo Link Mode 21 Side Chain Low Enabled Side Chain Low Enabled 22 Side Chain Low Frequency Side Chain Low Frequency 23 Side Chain Low Slope Side Chain Low Slope 24 Side Chain Mid Auto Side Chain Mid Auto 25 Side Chain Mid Enabled Side Chain Mid Enabled 26 Side Chain Mid Frequency Side Chain Mid Frequency 27 Side Chain Mid Gain Side Chain Mid Gain 28 Side Chain Mid Q Side Chain Mid Q 29 Side Chain Mid Shape Side Chain Mid Shape 30 Side Chain High Enabled Side Chain High Enabled 31 Side Chain High Frequency Side Chain High Frequency 32 Side Chain High Slope Side Chain High Slope 33 Audition Side Chain Audition Side Chain 34 Audition Triggering Audition Triggering 35 Mix Mix 36 Input Level Input Level 37 Input Pan Input Pan 38 Output Level Output Level 39 Output Pan Output Pan 40 Bypass Bypass 41 Midi State Oversampling 42 Lookahead Enabled 43 Midi State 44 Meter Scale 45 Display Enabled 46 Knee Display Enabled

The (essential part of the) loop enumerating the parameters looks like this:

local parameters = {} for p = 1, table.getn(device.parameters) do local parameter = device:parameter(p) parameters[p] = parameter.name end

Does anyone have an idea why the parameter list is different between VST2 and VST3 versions of the same plugin?

Plugins are all scaled way small, and this does seem to be the inverse of the UI scale setting. Sadly, setting my global UI scaling to 100% is not an option. I’ll explain:

So there was a solution accepted here in this thread: Plugins not displaying properly

Sadly this solution will not work for me since using 100% UI scaling on my built-in HiDPI display makes everything else far too tiny to use. I only have this one display.

Is there another possible solution, please? Super unfortunately, this is preventing me from using Renoise as my primary DAW. I can pretty much only use it for sample slicing and patterning right now. I would love for this to work again. At least now the problem is more consistently happening. Most especially with Vital.audio plugin and with Roland’s plugins.

Thank you!!

Hi,

I bought renoise years ago, and life kept me away from making music during this time. Now I want to do it again, and I have questions about live performance :

in the past, there was some plugins for this, now it seems they disappeared : are they included in the latest version of renoise, or maybe it was just abandonned ?

I plan to use it with a mpc clone and launchpad. Is renoise ready for live performance, or should I buy Bitwig ?

thank you for your help.

When using the + and - buttons to insert a new pattern into the matrix, for sufficiently complex tracks, it can take several seconds of a completely locked Renoise before anything happens.

The weird thing is that using the shortcut keys to do the same operations make them complete without any waiting time at all. Why would using the buttons to trigger the same action as the hotkeys cause such a massive slowdown and locking of the Renoise UI?

Hi,

Before I start trying to script a tool, is it possible to use lua for mapping a midi cc to the groove settings?

Is it even possible to map midi to sliders in tools? I tried to midi map the slider in the tool below.

https://www.renoise.com/tools/groove-control

But when I open any tool, and hit midi map, the sliders on my tools are not available for mapping.

I hope someone can help me out.

So I’m unable to get the VSTi plugin Bassynth to work with my copy of renoise. Bassynth is correctly downloaded into the Kontakt library and works fine independently of renoise. However, I would like to use both of them in conjunction. When I search under plugins in renoise it displays my other plugins that work fine, but when I navigate directly towards the Kontakt library or Bassynth it shows my folders are blank.

When I search for Bassynth via the file explorer on Windows 10, it shows an .nki extension. I tried to convert it with Awave, but my version of Kontakt was too new.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue. Thanks.

Hi troops, I’m not in front of my laptop so just trying to visualise how to do something.

In the past (in other DAWs), I used to sidechain a master bus compressor using the main signal through a HPF so that low frequencies don’t trigger it. Just sounded a lot better that way to my ears

In Renoise, am I right in thinking this could be achieved using the signal follower (with HPF enabled) set to affect ‘active / bypassed’ → bus compressor in a simple signal chain?

I’m using Linux and currently just have Airwindows Recurve and Airwindows Safety Clipper on the master out.

Recently it has come to the attention of many technologists that the word “master” is problematic in nearly all contexts, and most especially when it stands next to the word “slave”

While it may seem pedantic to some, this is important especially for Renoise, not only for racial equality, but also in the interest of UI/UX clarity and being as intuitive as possible, wherever possible.

In many cases, these words have been changed to Primary and Secondary, which seem more descriptive of the relationship and tend to not to conjure images of whips/chains in people’s minds. Another term I’ve seen used for directional synchronizations is Source and Client. In the case of Renoise’s use, it may be even clearer to say Sender and Receiver, as this directional data relationship is somewhat unclear in the places it appears anyhow, in spite of their use in MIDI-specific contexts.

(I, for one, had a difficult time understanding which one is sending the MIDI clock to whom and what direction the data is flowing at all, having to discover through trial and error. I still have to go through this if it’s been more than a week since last using Renoise.)

While these words are still “standard” in terms of MIDI, software dev as a whole has changed to Primary/Secondary or Client/Server. MIDI itself is changing to keep up with the times, specifically to allow two-way communication and I’m confident that when MIDI 2.0 is finally released “master/slave” will be all but officially deprecated terminology. It just doesn’t seem like a relationship we want to highlight anymore, right? …Many people are working to change the terms “mastering” and “master track”, too, for the same reasons. No reason to sound like a racist in 2021

Thank you for considering this important social and usability issue!

Seems there’s a bug in the phrase editor when playing notes with the computer keyboard. I programmed a chord with it for playing it by pressing one single note. If i’m on the main pattern editor, then press a note, the chord plays as expected. But when i now switch to the phrase editor tab, the chord doesn’t play as expected, it plays just one single note. Switching back to the main pattern editor and play a note, the chord plays again as expected. Playing notes on a MIDI keyboard or playing notes with the mouse on the virtual keyboard in the phrase editor works fine in all situations. This just happens when playing notes with the computer keyboard.
Thanks.

Renoise PC version 3.3.2, 64 bit (i don’t know if this also happens with the Mac version)

Steps to reproduce:
1.) load a sample or a VST instrument
2.) program a chord in the phrase editor
3.) press a note on the computer keyboard, just one note plays
4.) press a note on the virtual keyboard on the bottom with the mouse, the whole chord plays as expected
5.) press a note on the MIDI keyboard, the whole chord plays as expected
6.) switch to the main pattern sequencer
7.) play a note on the computer keyboard, the whole chord plays as expected
8.) switch back to the phrase editor
9.) play a note on the computer keyboard, just one single note plays

HI,

I’ve just bought an APC40 and want to use it with Duplex - Grid Pie. Everything runs fine, the grid matrix and the faders work as I hoped it would, excellent!

Now I have 16 rotary controllers on my apc40, they are all automapped by Duplex/Grid Pie; The top 8 are assigned to track control (panning and such) and the lower eight are assigned to effects on the track I have selected.

Can I decouple the 16 rotary controllers from the automapping? I just want to use them with midi learn, and not per track, but just global. So I would just like a rotary controller to control a filter, and when I selected a different track, I just want to control that same filter, so no different setups per selected track.

I also noticed that when I enter midi learn, the I can’t assign the track controls (the upper 8 rotaries) to anything, only the lower 8 controls are assignable.

I hope somebody can help me out here, Thanks people!

Everytime I open a plugin the screen does not display properly as shown in pic. Whilst the plugin work, the cursor is not in the correct place. It happens every plugin I use. I have previously managed to fix it so that it displays properly and the mouse cursor is in the correct position on the screen but I can’t remember how i’ve done it - although it’s something simple like closing the screen and re-opening. ANy ideas? thanks

Hi there!

I like mpReverb as I find it really smart and convenient, but recently I had this issue on a track:

You can see that the waveform deviate on the top.

if I go with only with a chiptune super-short handdrawed sample and use mpReverb with “cavern warm” preset, I have this extrem result:

I first tough that was my synths or another setting, but after some tries, I remplace mpReverb by the old Ambience reverb vst ans then:

Also I’ve tried with samples a bit more long and VST, then this is ok, no issues with that, seems only to be on shorty samples like this (when click on “draw” on an empty slot in sample editor:

In Renoise 3.3.1 (and tried also in 3.2.1)

Been messing around in the Renoise demo for the past couple of weeks and I’m really enjoying (I’m still quite new to music production). I have a few questions and would appreciate if you guys could help me.

1. Is there an arpeggiator?

2. Is glide only available though FX command?

3. Anyone using a 60% keyboard? Any useful keybinds you would recommend?

4. Does anyone favour the trigger slice command rather than actually slicing samples? Any reason why you prefer to do this, and do you do this with all types of samples (drum loops, vocals, jazzy samples etc.)
