Renoise Forum

Hi,

I have an AudioDevice object and want to find its track. How to do that? Seems like I can’t compare the object with a trackDevice object directly…

This seems to be too few comparison then:

function EQHelper:findDeviceInTracks(device) for _, track in pairs(sng.tracks) do if (track.type ~= renoise.Track.TRACK_TYPE_GROUP) then for _, trackDevice in pairs(track.devices) do if (device.display_name == trackDevice.display_name and device.device_path == trackDevice.device_path) then local isSame = true for x = 1, #device.parameters do if (device.parameters[x].value ~= trackDevice.parameters[x].value) then isSame = false break end end if (isSame == true) then return track end end end end end return nil end

Would like to compare the object memory pointers directly or something… Maybe I already did that, but I forgot how.

When the pattern editor is armed, Renoise seems to be entering commands randomly. I thought it may be a faulty keyboard hooked up to my laptop, so I unplugged and just using the laptop keyboard but still happening.

Those: 02 M0 470E

They just show up when armed at random places in the pattern. Tried a reboot, still happening.
I also have an Axiom 61 plugged in I use to enter notes…maybe something is funky with that?
Any ideas?

Mac OS 10.14.6
Renoise 3.3.2

Hi,

Let’s say you are using FL or Ableton. You create a track and load it with an audio sample. Then, you click the play button. Your track start playing. Now, can I do that in Renoise without assigning a note in the track?

Cheers

Hi,

I am looking for all the translation functions of the cutoff parameters of all the Renoise filter devices. I think @OopsIFly did that? Can you help me? 8)

Also for melda eqs, I had the following working formula, but it’s expecting key number, can’t wrap my brain around it converting it to frequency offset. freq_start is 20, freq_end is 20000:

function func(a,b,freq_start,freq_end) local keynum = b * 119 local keyoffset = a * 119-60 local C5 = 1391.915051294 local retval = C5 * pow(2.0, ((keynum + keyoffset) - (12 * 5)) * (1.0 / 12.0)) if (retval < 0) then retval = 0; end retval = (log10(retval) - log10(freq_start)) / (log10(freq_end) - log10(freq_start)) if (retval > 1) then retval = 1; end return retval end

I am writing a little tool “EQ helper” which provides transpose for EQ devices. So far it only works correctly for EQ5/EQ10:
ffx.tools.EQHelper.xrnx (7.2 KB)

Have a look into the “pluginRegistry” inside the main.lua.

Is it possible now that you can use an external editor for tool coding, so Renoise auto-detects file changes and then will recompile? I remember that there was something changed lately…

Hei,

First week using Renoise and I’m still strong

One thing I noted is that in the pattern editor, the note and the instrument are written like C-400. Would be more UX friendly if it was written like C4-00? I think A2, C3, D1 are very common way to name notes, specially when you study music theory or piano. At least, this is my thought.

As I still didn’t figure out why notes are named like that, any enlightenment would be great.

Cheers

R3.3.2, W10 x64
There has probably been some change under the hood in the latest versions of Renoise that prevents you from using the slider bar fine-tuning (CTRL + mouse pointer dragging the slider bar). This only happens on normal sliders and probably small ones. In the knobs it works correctly. This happens in Renoise (all platforms) and in the tools.

I think I remember there was a last change in API 6.1 that maybe has something to do with this.

@taktik., could you bring back the fine adjustment on the sliders with CTRL + mouse drag?

Hi,

A friend of mine recommend Renoise. At first, as most of the users, I cursed the interface (my friend laugh till today). But bit by bit I’m getting used to it. However, I work heavily with MIDI files, from creating chords progression to drum patterns. So, my thoughts are:

1. Renoise is not MIDI “friendly”, is that correct?
2. If the above is correct, how do you write your chords? How do you overcome the use of MIDIs?
3. If #1 is correct, it means that Renoise is more sample based and MIDI is not its thing. Is that correct?
4. I’m into synthwave production. Is that a style that Renoise can do?

Sorry, if those questions are dumb, but trackers are new to me and I still don’t know what they can do, and how they do things. So, any help here will be very appreciated.

Cheers,
Castle

Hi all, hope you good.

When writing in automation for filters, I have no problem creating smooth sweeps and such but is there a way to set the quantise or settings so that I can have the filter step up or down evenly on every 4th or 16th beat without having to draw in points connecting the filter steps? Basically like a stepfilter VST would do.

I hope I explained that well. If not, 10000 apologies.

Thanks in advance.

On Redirecting... I will be talking about Protracker 2 on the Amiga which is the ancestor of our fellow Renoise.

The talk itself will generally be in german, but on the other hand you will see on original Amiga Hardware how difficult it was, making music in those days.

The Setup is: Amiga 500, Protracker 2.13, ST-01-Sampledisk.

It seems that renoise does not have the renoise.song() function/object ready at startup, while tools that could access it are already being loaded. Executing that function before the startup/template song is loaded results in an error.

If a tool uses the function in it’s startup code the tool will fail loading, breaking the tool. However once renoise has successfully loaded, and tools are reloaded manually, the function works as expected, even when used in the startup code of the tool.

Expected behavior: either tools to be loaded once the renoise.song() function is ready for use, or the function passing a value like nil to indicate that the system is not ready yet.

I have created a little testing tool to demonstrate the error. Install the xrnx - it will print a message dialog stating success while being installed. Now shut down renoise. Start renoise again - the tool will execute renoise.song() and trigger the error message, the tool will not be loaded. Reloading the tools once renoise has finished startup will not trigger the error, but successfully load the tool and print the success message.

Tested with Renoise 3.3.2 on Linux.

Simple as that really, I find the font style a little easier on the eyes in Redux as compared to Renoise.

Thanks.

Hello you guys i hope all is well.So i am looking for a standalone unit to get away from the Pc because i am really tired of the mouse and keyboard and the Pc- Daw environment is killing my creativity.I really want to go for a more hands on approach so i am interested in your opinions on this.Do you have any of this hardware Akai Mpcs,Akai force or Ni Maschine Plus?I have watched like a million videos about them and i am closer to the Akai force,i find that the Mpcs and the Maschine is more aimed at beat makers although i ve seen people make other genres on them.What are your thought on this?Please I need opinions from people who already own or had in the past some kind of a standalone unit like the ones i mentioned above

I was using ElementFX VST3 plugin (somehow VST2 in this case works bad / crashes). And I saved some chains contains this plugin.

Now is funny part - I don’t see this plugin on list anymore! I see VST2 version only, BUT when I load chain with that plugin (VST3 version) - it works and it’s visible!

I was trying to rename file in Common Files\VST3 folder (or even duplicate it) but no luck there. Still VST3 version is missing for no reason (was visible before).

Hello.

When using Renoise 2.8 on a 2009 windows XP machine (dual core 2 GHz)
13 msec latency - no crackles
11 msec latency - crackles

When using Renoise 3.1+ on a 2021 windows 10 (latest) machine (12 core/6 core 3.5Ghz in Turbo, 2.9 Ghz normal)
under 30 msec latency - crackles

I only use 1 plugin and my MIDI keyboard.

I need under 20 msec response time.

I always use DirectSound and my onboard RealTek sound card.

Computer: windows 10 64bit, i7-7500U, 16gb ram

I’m using the vst2 version (for the most part unless there’s no vst2 version, vst2 usually works better for me), of unfiltered audio’s lion synth plugin which I got from plugin-alliance.com. Not sure if that makes a difference in this case but I only have a license for that one, not the one explicitly from unfiltered audio’s site since I got it on sale at plugin-alliance.

For whatever reason I keep having to click on the auto-scale gui compatibility option when using lion. It works 99% right if I don’t do that but… the modulation cables don’t line up properly in lion unless I use that option. I’ve checked it then cleared the plugin and loaded it back up, works right but even on a project I’ve saved it with I still have to set that option for it to go into effect.

So far this is the only plugin I have which I’ve had this issue with, I’ve had to use the option on other plugins but it would always be set and not act up. I don’t seem to have this issue with unfiltered audio’s BYOME, which I also purchased from plugin-alliance.
