Renoise Forum

I am influenced by drum-machines like Korg ER and ESX. This somewhat recreates that workflow feel for me.

Put a small 4 line pattern in front to get all stuff synced up and initiated properly, or have some necessary commands there, like jump to pattern etc.

Since I bought this plugin, which isn’t expensive:

Snap Heap, Snap Heap plugin, buy Snap Heap, download Snap Heap trial, (pluginboutique.com)

It has revolutionised using Renoise for me, as somebody who has really wanted parallel processing natively inside Renoise for as long as I’ve been using it really. In terms of electronic music production (which is my focus) it has made sound design so much fun and really helps get creative. It’s effectively a six slot FX processor, with heavy modulation possibilities. In terms of parallel processing, you can tie slots together and make them process in parallel rather than serial - if you leave one slot free (i.e. uneffected) and then put FX in the other slot set to fully wet, you can then blend them back together with the built in per-slot volumes.

Another benefit is the free “snaps” can be used as VST3 FX and because they’re all relatively simple, they look very much like Native FX in the track FX slots. I can’t recommend it enough, I will probably go on to buy some of the paid Snap-ins but haven’t done so yet. It’s very, very good (and no, I’m not sponsored lol).

Just wanted to share, I know a lot of people want this and until we get it natively, it’s an inexpensive way to plug one of Renoise’s (IMO) major gaps.

I have an arpeggio going and feeding it into my hardware synth via MIDI, so far so good. Now I want to spice it up a little without having to re-enter all the notes. For example, I want it to play every 3rd note an octave higher than what I entered in the pattern.

If this was audio in the sampler it would be super easy with the stepper tool on the pitch parameter. But is there a way to do this to VST/MIDI inside of Renoise?

I haven’t tried this yet, but I suppose I could rig an LFO device to the Pitchbend in the Instr. Midi Control. And program a pattern that way. Which I expect to be quite a hassle when working with other note values than octaves.

So is there a more elegant way to do this?

Hello everyone,

I recently started using Renoise’s Cabinet Simulator with my guitar much more than other software amp sims or real hardware, mostly because it sounds really good and is simple at the same time - also already well integrated into my DAW of choice.

I’m, however, curious what real life amps/cabinets are being simulated (i.e. what IRs are being used by the cab sim).

Some are of course easier to figure out than others (Marsh being Marshall obviously, Black Twin/Deluxe probably Fender).

Here’s the full list of available cabinets in Renoise:
All Classic
Black Deluxe
Black Twin
Boro Jazz
Del DG-10
Event Off-Axis
Tweed Deluxe
Graft Bass
Highway 100
Lin Vintage
Pod 4x12
Flextone Crunch
Mans Deluxe
Marsh Off-Axis
Marsh ST 70
Rand Clean
Amp Direct
Breakdown

I couldn’t find any further information on this, so I guess there is no comprehensive list. The reason why renoise uses made-up names is probably a trademark issue or something. Any good guesses by some of you who are more knowledgeable than me in the world of guitar amps and cabinets what’s behind those names?

So I consider myself new to renoise though I have had it for awhile. I’m trying to make chiptune inside of it but I run into problems.

First problem is that I can’t use all effect commands when I use a VST, so I guess most people use samples or make the sounds native?

Second is I can’t make a slow arpeggio at all, like the arpeggio command just goes sorta crazy. Sure I can make it a little bit slower but nothing that sounds like a pleasant chord. More something that would work on a crazy lead or some cool effect.

Would also be cool to learn how people create those chiptune sounds, be it a sample from another tracker etc.

I can’t get Antares Choir vst3 plugin to show in Renoise, It’s in the same folder as my other Antares plugins (the default vst3 folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3), and it shows just fine with Studio One 5 Artist. I did rescan plugins and even checked the rescan previously failed plugins but still I get nothing. Anyone else having the same problem? Anything else I could try? I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it for a few times.

Super stupid question:

We have the instrument loading window just under the spectrum analyzer, while we can also use the instrument selection on the right side. Is there any difference between those and how can I add different folders in the first one? There is only bundled content and user library.

I often have a sample or automated sequence in vst instrument that I’d like to extract as precise Renoise pattern data. Getting note pitch right manually is easier, but when it comes to timings and volume I find it really hard. Obvious struggle is with short notes because Renoise doesn’t support ending notes before second line. Luckily you can make phrases with double tempo.

What is your workflow for this kind of situation?

It is a very simple song so far, just a few tracks but I’d rather not redo the whole thing. I opened a different song, copied a track, loaded this one and pasted it. I hit play, and realized I didn’t have a sample for the new track, so I loaded one and then… nothing. I thought it was my computer so I saved and rebooted, now when I load that song, and only that song, there’s no audio at all. Even clicking on the sample or instrument on the right where you can preview the sounds by clicking them makes no sound at all. Hitting the keyboard to play notes, nothing, no sound. What happened?

Hello together!

I do hear some Renoise Competition Songs at the moment and i get aware that my Renoise Programmwindow changed the window status from maximized to normal. (what is very smal, aprox. half of the screen)
When i Renoise startet over the Desktop icon it start always with Window maximized. (with Taskbar visible)

The unwanted behaviour only occurs sporadically when i doubleclick to load a songfile or themefile on an external explorerwindow.

Anyone has the similar problem maybe?

I’m on Windows 7 last patchstand. I know it’s not supported officially anymore, but maybe it can be an problem on later windows versions too.

happy tracking

I just edited a long sequence with a rising filter using my modwheel on the synth.
it works ok, but if we hace C---------------- F------------, then when it reaches the F and if it write a M on that line, and the 2-3 lines before the F and 2-3 lines after the F, the F note will start triggering on every line after that. yes i can reproduce it. i worked my way out of it, by manking sure not to “ride over” the notes that came longer down. i only changed modwheel direct on the note, or on empty space

Some Question to the “Vol”, “Pan”,“Dly” FX Rows. I thought till now that each of this named FX Row’s is exclusiv for the respective effect. Vol Row for Volume Fx, Pan Row for Pan FX, Dly Row for Delay FX. But now i see, that i can do a Vol FX on Pan FX Row and an Envenlope FX on Vol FX Row and a PlaySample BackwardFX on Vol Row and many many other combinations. Why is this so? Is that a bug, or bad design, or what is the reason for this. I ask because Colorcoded FX markings can turn into a Mess with this and the readability for entire songFX information goes down.

happy tracking

PS: I search the mostly using upfucked PatternFX Renoise song for theme testing!!! The more FX and the more wild mixed the FX is the better!

I was working on a tool to randomly choose parameters from a given instrument’s modulation sets and device chains as the instrument macros, and then stumbled into this block:

renoise.song().instruments[].macros[].mappings[].parameter
→ [read-only, renoise.DeviceParameter]

Why is this read-only? Is there any workaround?

Hi! So I have this weird problem where I can’t set, for example, “FF” in any of the effects columns (vol/pan/delay/fx). It just insert a note if possible, otherwise it does nothing. Have a look:

I tried disabling “override window manager shortcuts”, to no avail. However, it does work when I switch to X11!
I’m on KDE 5.27.4, Ubuntu Studio 23.04.

I quite like Wayland, is there any way around this? Thanks!

Description:

Midi file with chords when importing to renoise 3.4.2 it importing only first note from chord.
I also have version 3.3.1. In this version midi import works fine.

Steps to reproduce look like this:

1. Launch Renoise
2. Drag and drop midi file (with chords) to renoise

Expected results:

Importing all notes from chordes

Actual results:

Importing olny 1st note of every chord

Extras:
How it should be imported (screen from 3.3.1)

But it imports like this in version 3.4.2

Phrase Selection Dropdown Closes Randomly
Expected:
Click on the phrase selection dropdown menu at the upper-right corner of the phrase window, and the dropdown window will remain open until you’ve selected a phrase, or clicked out of the menu.

Actual:
The window closes randomly. This actually happens for that dropdown menu in any of the tabs (Phrases, Keyzones, Waveform, Modulation and Effects). Open it, perhaps navigate to one of the submenus…at some arbitrary point it will close. No mouse or keyboard input.
