Renoise Forum
Customize the names of notes in the pattern editor, and save them as presets (would be useful for microtonal music)
One basic feature that Renoise lacks that a lot of other trackers (e.g. FamiTracker and OpenMPT) have is the ability to toggle between sharps and flats.
I think an even better idea would be to have 3 modes: sharp, flat, and custom. The toggle to switch between them would be in the transport panel to the right of the octave selector. When you select custom, there will be a menu where you can select, create, edit, or load a preset.
Each preset would contain a 3-character string for the name of each note. Or, an alternative would be to specify how many notes per octave, and a 2-character string for each note in an octave. The preset would also be saved in the .xrns file.
The most useful use for this feature would be microtonal music. For example, for 31edo, you could rename the 17th note of the 5th octave to either ‘175’ or ‘H-5’, depending on what you think is easier to read.
Of course, Renoise would need the ability to load .scl files (another feature OpenMPT has) for this feature to be useful. Together, these 2 features would make Renoise the best DAW for composing microtonal music.
Another use case would be renaming the notes to use solfege (perhaps this could be included as a default option).

SAve dialogue of a vst after renoise clese
I am a big fan of the wonderfull vst synth called tranzistow .
In the latest update there is a bug that is beyond the scope of the developer
WHenever a new patch is loaded a save dialogue pops up for confirmation , but when ignoring this dialogue and closing renoise ,the dialogue closes with renoise but is still active , and thus windows desktop becomes unresponsive …here’s a quote from the developer about the issue
quote
Yes, weird, I agree. I noticed this with Renoise only - “Save Yes/No” dialog was hanging after closing the DAW for the reasons which are out of my scope (because I cannot debug the DAW). I reworked them to use standard Windows MessageBox function in the latest version and now Renoise just closes/ignores them on exit. Still weird but at least they are not hanging anymore.
Are you saying that you have the same problem with the latest version (2024-04-03) too?

How to get "warm sounding" saturation and reverb with the native effects?
I have my own ways of achieving this but it’s mostly by trial and error and doesn’t get the best results, so I was wondering what other people here do.
-
How do I get a “warm” sounding saturation effect or tape saturation effect with the native effects? I try to use distortion for this (haven’t experimented with cabinet simulator that much) but for either of those two native effects which parameters should I avoid or use to get this effect? Or if there’s another way to do it easily in Renoise, let me know.
-
Similarly, I find the native mpreverb is often too metallic, harsh, cold, or “ping”-y. How should I change the parameters to get a more warm reverb? I’m especially interested in the kind of warm, spacey, and long style of reverb that something like an Empress reverb pedal can produce.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Calling vV, or anyone who knows how to copy sample from Note-On Layer to Note-Off Layer?
Is there a way of copying a sample from the Note-On Layer to the Note-Off Layer using LUA API, or has that been misplaced by the API altogether?
I used to have a functioning script that would let me copy samples from note-on layer to note-off layer and even change the pitch, which was amazing. @vvoois wrote it i think. i tried to modify it to work with Renoise 3 but it doesn’t seem to.
here’s what i’m working with

How do I make Renoise send a wavefile (selected_sample_index) to an external app? I know how to boot up os.execute("appname") and i could send it a path to a sample, but how does one create a stable sample path?
How do I make Renoise send a wavefile (selected_sample_index) to an external app? I know how to boot up os.execute(“appname”) and i could send it a path to a sample, but how does one create a stable sample path?
So I wanna make Renoise send a sample directly to Ableton Live by referencing file with something? does the Renoise LUA API allow for referencing the selected_sample_index and delivering it as a wavefile “safely” (not talkin /tmp/blaablaa.wav - which would then consistently keep getting overwritten)

How do I set a shortcut for "Insert a new sample"?
i’m wondering what the shortcut for this is? if there’s no shortcut, is there a way of doing it from the LUA API?

Is there a way of saving Screensets so that the Disk Browser size would be taken into consideration?
hi, is it possible to save screensets so that they also have the specific Disk Browser width and content in the Disk Browser (i.e. not modules, but Samples)?

How to load a Device preset by name instead of number slot?
this is also about XRNT…
So I have this stuff
and i’d like to load the #SendPakettiInit of this #send device. but i don’t want to load it by saying “2”, because maybe the slot “2” is not that at all.
How do i make sure that instead of loading “some” preset that happens to be in preset slot, i always load “#SendPakettiInit”, please?
also, how can I load a XRNT? I have no way of changing the Send device settings since i can’t control “Keep Source” / “Mute Source”, only the Amount, Panning and Receiver. Need better control. my solution was to create a preset, but i need to be able to load it. but answering both quetsions would be amazing.

Dr4 Instruments
Renewing my apologies to the forum for the misunderstandings, I make a proposal for the future, it’s just a proposal, feel free to ignore it.
Why rather than creating continuous discussions for each instrument we create, which will then get lost in the labyrinth of the forum (and those with slow brains like mine take a while to understand the situation) let’s not start creating a sort of "user topic "?
For example I’ll open Dr4 Instruments and post all my instruments here.
I think of people like @slujr who create a lot of things, but for months I only saw the ReGranulizer, only now I’m finding everything else, if something like Zensphere Instruments existed, everything would be easier to find.
Let’s move on to the instruments.
Taking inspiration from “303 Clone-ish” and making a few changes to my taste, I tried to recreate a “perfect” emulation that is not perfect, of the TB-303.
The Accent control is something of a strange thing, not having figured out how to replicate it really faithfully, I replicated it quite creatively. The Decay is simply replicated to my taste. The rest should be faithful enough. To use the instrument you need to download NA Black
Obviously nothing prevents you from using the native distortion, but you won’t get the same result (and nothing stops you from replacing the pedal with your favorite one, if you have it)
Furthermore, nothing stops you from making changes and sharing again, in fact, I would be rather curious to see where a tool starts and where it ends up.

How to sort Menu Entries for Tools -> Toolname -> subcontent
hi, I’m wondering how to sort the Menu_Entry content for Tools → Paketti → content
EDIT: well it helps to have the right screenshot
I have a bunch of menu_entries all over the place, should i isolate them to a specific .lua file and tweak the order there, or…?

Can GitHub Actions be used to roll a xrnx?
Hi, I’ve got Paketti as a GitHub repository. I sometimes update it.
But rolling it into a shareable xrnx file is very confusing to me. I mean, doing it manually from the folder, i don’t know how.
but are there GitHub Actions methods of rolling the package into an installable xrnx directly?

Set note length on VST Instruments... how?
Hello,
can I set the length of a note on a VST instrument individually?
Like in FL Studio: There you can set the note length from 1 ms to 1 hour…

Any Redux workflow examples?
Hey!
So I’m trying to use Bitwig+Redux for vocal-heavy tracks, which is quite harder than plain Renoise obviously. My main gripe so far is that I can’t move stuff between instruments as easily as I can in Renoise.
I was looking for YouTube videos of Redux workflows, because the Renoise workflow videos (primarily those of Groovin in G and Lil Kevo 303) helped my tremendously to get real shit done, so I was wondering if I could use this cheat code for Redux as well?
If not, then I’d love you to spill your secret sauce for Redux here;)
Thanks and happy April Fools’, although this is obviously not a joke, well not a funny one at last

Using Phrases and Aliases to reduce note inputs
I have explained how I use Phrases when I make my arrangements in Renoise to a few people.
As an example, I have created a small track for them to inspect, to be able to show what I mean. It’s actually an attempt to cover some parts of Todd Terje’s Inspector Norse.
The reason for choosing this track, is that I feel this gives a very simple view of whats going on.
If anyone is curious, I’ve attached the Renoise file here.
Sinatra_-_Inspector_Norse_Reprise.xrns (2.3 MB)
Note: It’s very basic. For people who have not really touched phrases too much.
