Renoise Forum

OK, I read somewhere, on some post here in the forum, that adjusting the API value would quite often resuscitate ‘dead’ plugins. So I did - figured out how to update the manifest.xml, from 2.0 to 6.0. Now the ZynZilla plugin appears! Neato-beato.

But, Zynzilla does not produce any sound, nor does it generate any waveforms.

While I do not code in any language, I was able to figure out where to find the issue is, by viewing the Terminal feedback from the plugin. Here’s the message I got:

*** std::logic_error: ‘invalid sample index ‘0’. valid values are (1 to 1).’
*** stack traceback:
*** [C]: in function ‘insert_sample_at’
*** main.lua:537: in function ‘generate’
*** ./gui.lua:861: in function <./gui.lua:860>

Would anybody have any idea what I could copy/paste into the plugin, so we could all get this neat sound generator back?

The answer may be what I already know, but I tried moving (yes… rather than copying) amy projects over and I accidentally delted projects tghat I ahv e been working on almost a year… I used iobit to undelete a file and I have recovered documents that are .xrns but as soon as they get opend they are corrupt.

Anyone? I have the project files if anyone has any ideas here

No joke, this brouight me to tears.

Hello community !

I’m a beginner in music and Renoise. As a way to improve my skills I would like to propose a monthly challenge. The idea behind that is to (try to) make a track with a given set of constraints. People willing to participate can then post their .xrns and we can learn from each other, comparing various techniques. This is not a contest for the best song, no winner, no loser, just experimentation and creativity for fun !

Here are some possible constraints for a song, a challenge would be a mix of them

• only one track
• no effects
• only effects (no notes)
• ridiculous bpm
• hand drawn sound
• only use a given single sample
• all the lines
• all notes are arpaggiated
• use a particular instrument
• only one pattern of fixed length
• must be a canon
• use a particular key
• use a particular chord progression
• a cover of a song
• remake of a song
• a themed song
• fork an existing .xrns
• only mix an exiting .xrns
• each notes triggered randomly
• use only your voice
• less than xx kb .xrns file
• forbid some frequencies
• make a synthesizer in renoise
• use a specific beat pattern
• make a beat out of effects

The more people join the challenge, the more material and ideas we would come up with.

Who’s in ? Please post crazy ideas you have !

How to determine renoise.App().window height ?

I want my tool to automatically become (just a little less higher) than the Renoise screen and stay within screen boundaries.

I can not find it here

Hi,

I do not often use Renoise intruments for harmonic parts, but now I have a chord and would like to pan the notes per column, so I don’t have to add a panning command to each single note… Is that possible? Or could it be done in the instrument already, e.g. keymapping to panning (but with a huge step width, and is that then working polyphonically)? Thanks.

I would like the Scroll function to bind with the Mouse. How do I catch Mouse scroll wheel events on my tool and connect that to the scroll box?

OK, maybe this is a bit of a niche feature, but I’m going for it anyway.

Renoise is a crazy cool sound engine, and lately I’ve been trying to use it a backend to Tidal Cycles.

It kind of works, but I faced one major block. In renoise, like in MIDI, there is one event to trigger a note (note_on), and one event to release a note (note_off). From the point of view of a keyboard player, it makes sense: when you press a key to play a note, you don’t necessarily know for how long you will play it.

Things are a bit different in Tidal (and maybe other live coding environments). There, the note’s length is known from the start, so the event triggering the note contains the note’s duration, so the note_off event is moot. It may look like a minor difference, but it has quite a few implications (for example in Tidal each note is independant and “stateless”, which is not the case with note_on/off).

Anyway, here is the idea:

/renoise/trigger/note(instrument, track, note, velocity, duration)

That OSC endpoint would trigger a note like note_on, and attach a scheduled note_off event to that specific note.

I’ve tried to do it in lua, but I had some ugly lags. I guess there is a reason for /renoise/trigger/note_(on|off) to be hardcoded in renoise …

I came across this meta plugin thing on the White Sea Audio channel and thought it might actually be Renoise’s best friend:
(Basically it’s a plugin to load plugins with a whole bunch of perks)
it’s a VST2 that can load VST3
you can have multiple chains in parralel
and it brings oversampling to everything.

The swiss army knife when it comes to VST/AU/RTAS/AAX plugins. Plugin wrapper,plugin chainer, life saver. Click here to learn more!

(On a side note @taktik , I think that the renoise team might benefit from partnerinq up with such companies to offer bundles. That could free up some development time while offering missing features… And renoise being super cheap for a DAW, I think it would be fair to offer premium bundles with extra plugins for an aditionnal fee )

Hi lovely Renoise community,

I have been using Renoise for the past 12 years, started to use it when I got into electronic music (Venetian Snares… of course. ), was instantly hooked and have been using it as my sole DAW ever since.
Love it for its freedom - I still find it very inspiring to work with.

I released my first album a little bit over 2 years ago but never shared it here. I have always been a little bit (too) shy when it came to showing my stuff to other people.

Anyway, the LP is available on bandcamp and soundcloud.

Here is my (probably) favourite tune of the release.

Thank you for listening, have a good one and try to stay sane in times like these.

Love,
~HNull

This tool fires chords into the Pattern Editor when record mode is on, and previews chords using OSC server when record mode is off.

com.eatme.ChordGun.xrnx (11.9 KB)

Drap the tool into Renoise version 3.1 or higher (currently: Renoise 3.2.4) to install the tool.
You can then find it via menu Tools… ChordGun.

You may also want to try pattern loop mode (numpad Enter) and play cursor following turned off (Scroll Lock button) when experimenting with the chords with Record mode on.

Version History:
*Update v1.1 from v1.0: Up to the 10th chords, add2 and add4 variations
*Minor fix: capital M for Majadd2
*Minor fix: version bumped up to 1.1, name changed to com.eatme.ChordGun.xrnx
*to do: scrollbar on All Chords, not possible yet via the Renoise LUA ViewBuilder Api.
@taktik plz make scrollbars.

…without each module containing its own entire copy of these instruments and all their samples. ie, the xrns would simply refer to the files on disk instead.

Another approach is to “combine” several songs into one module, but that becomes pretty cumbersome for orderlist arrangements and rendering to wav output + remembering where everything is. Currently it’s either that, or a huge waste of disk space when each xrns file could easily be under a megabyte.

(before anyone answers “buy a bigger hdd” i’ll say it right away: i don’t use windows and i don’t adhere to microsoft mentality at all)
