I’m a big fan doing automated things. One thing that’s been bugging me for the past years is how to do randomize phase offsets. With my research and scientific approach to this problem I figured out two methods that can work:

1. Randomize phrases
2. Randomize samples

(1) was discussed in a different topic but I have a different approach for the doofer which makes it more efficient and lowers CPU usage.

So that being said let’s hop into it:

(1) Randomize phrases
The approach as mentioned is similar as mentioned above. You have one/set of sample(s) that you want to execute at the same time per key press. What you do is recreate multiple phrases where each input shows as follows:

C-4 | S00

The next phrase the input will show as:

C-4 | S02

So why the jump to S02? You’re only allow to have up to 126 phrases.
In order to randomize the phrases within an instrument you’ll have to create a doofer that contains a key tracker that triggers the reset of an LFO. This LFO is using the “random” waveform. Previously I set the LFO to run at 1LPB but this is just absurd. It’s better to set the LPC to Infinity. From there the LFO attaches to a hydra dsp which is used to define specific phrase range on the instrument macro DSP.

The result shows as follow:

Of course why would I make you go through the effort of creating this when I can just give you the RANDOM OFFSET.xrni (7.4 KB) file?

(2) Randomize Samples
This IMO is more interesting to me and provides a new perspective on how Renoise instruments works. Let say you have a predefine set of samples that are the same tune waveform…but phased differently and want to use them in one instrument. What you can do is overlap all the audio samples and change this specific settings:

You officially have an RANDOM_SAMPLES.xrni (28.1 KB) instrument that can do random offsets.

…

Did I mention you can combine these two concepts and create even some crazier shit?

Not a big issue, I don’t think the LPB line highlighting within the phrase pattern is refreshing enough in 3.2.

Should be relatively simple to see. Load in attached xrns. Contains 4 phrases in instrument 0. Each phrase has a different LPB setting. Just click around the phrase selector to change phrases and look at the line highlighting. Forcing a full refresh corrects the problem (i.e. min/max the Renoise window, switch away and then back again to Renoise, or switch to the pattern editor and back etc.)

I think Redux 1.1 also suffers from a similar redrawing problem.

Hey so if I make a panning or volume envelope on a sample in the modulation section, it works fine in there but as soon as I go into the edit screen and sequence the sound, it ignores what I’ve done. Is this a bug or is there some new way to engage what you’ve done as far as modulation?

Looking over some of the threads I see it’s an issue for some but I couldn’t find a solid solution for it…maybe I overlooked it, idk…this is a similar to an issue I had on Windows with the ASIO driver. It locks up the sound card…My solution on Windows was just abandon ASIO and use Direct Sound. I’m a hobbyist so for my purposes it worked fine and I never missed ASIO.

But how do I do this on Linux? I need to be able to listen to other audio apps w/o closing Renoise.

Hello everyone,

my name is Nicola, I am new to renoise and also new to Midi mapping.
I am trying to use a zoom R8 controller as a midi input device. I read the article about midi mapping and tried to follow the instructions.
It was quite easy to map the buttons on the R8, but it seems impossible to map any faders. Whenever I try to assign a fader nothing happens: I click on the value to be mapped, move the corresponding fader on the R8, nada.
If I switch to the midi in/output view in renoise, I can see the pitch bending signals send by the faders on the R8, so the device must be connected correctly to renoise.

Can anyone please explain to me how to map the faders? Do I have to change the fader signals to something else?

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Nicola

Hi.

Im in the process of learning how to use Renoise, and im having trouble with note-off commands not working when using a VST, and i can’t seem to figure out why that is right now.

All columns have a note off command at the end of the pattern, but they keep on playing in the next pattern anyway. When i open a new song and put in a note of the same VST, and a note off command, it does work, so there must be something going on im not seeing.

I took a picture with my phone, because i also don’t know how to take screenshot in renoise yet.

Note off?

Anyone got any idea’s? Maybe it has something to do with the effect commands in the last column? (I haven’t figured out what these are yet, but they appear when i use the pedal while recording with my digital piano)

polyrythm.xrns (42.5 KB)

Hi,

on another topic, some people asked about how to achieve polyrhythm (like TRUE polyrhythm, not polymeters). Which means having any type of tuplets over a straight 4/4

Which means that when a straight plays 4 quarter notes, you can have 3, 5, 7, 11 23 or any number of beats evenly distributed during the same bar

It gives a weird feeling of being on time and completely off.

It’s very easily done in renoise by creating a phrase and setting the LPB (line per beat) parameter to the desired subdivision. Be careful : the LPB is located right above the modwheel/pitchwheel of the virtual keyboard, NOT TO BE CONFUSED with “step length” on the lower left corner.

On my example:
Track 1 plays a straight 4/4 (to contrast with the polyrhythm)
Track 2 has 5 phrases :
1 : 3/4 (3:4 over 4:4 is extremely common in pop music, can be achieved with any DAW),
2 : 5:4,
3 : 7:4
4: 11:4
5: 21:4 (yeah, that means that when a standard bar plays 4 quarter notes… this one plays 21 even notes)

Of course, this works exactly the same in redux

Have fun

It is my understanding that the “snappy” adjustment on drum machines represents the adjustments present on an actual snare drum. I see this adjustment on all drum machines. I am in the process of building some drum machine instruments within Renoise and am wondering if anybody has any ideas as how to recreate this within Renoise. or is snappy even a feture that needt to be included. I am looking forward to see other’s thoughts on this. Has anybody else created drum machine style instruments? If so what are your must includes.

Many Thanks to all Renoisers!

I’ve been working on this song for weeks and weeks. I’m finally just about happy with it. I’d really like to know if I’m making mistakes with the mastering, as it sounds ‘good’ but there’s always room for improvement. Also if you heard the previous version, do you like the direction I took it in? It’s pretty out there, even by my standards…

I looked around the Renoise forums for a tools that would allow me to jump custom line amounts on the page up and down control and was super happy when i found the custom pattern navigator plugin. But sadly after installing 3.2 it throws an error whenever it gets to the bottom of a row.

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but is there anyway to try and fix it myself or is such source code only available for the owner? … or is there a way to report the bug to him so he might fix it or ? … well like i said im kinda new here so not sure this is the right place to ask.

Brings support for the X-Touch in native mode (XCtl) to Renoise.

It should be considered alpha, because the features, API, and default bindings are not final yet.

This tool has two parts, a driver and a default set of bindings (“program”). The driver supports multiple programs, so anyone can code their own logic in addition. It might ship with more programs by default in the future, who knows. The driver provides a fully observable model of the X-Touch, as well as an event system to easily register callbacks to events such as a button press, a fader move, or an encoder delta. I’m not detailing it more here as the API is going to slightly change soon.

Configure your X-Touch in XCtl mode over MIDI, open the dialog from the Tools menu, select the proper MIDI devices in the dialog and press RESET. Your X-Touch should come to life. A click on the ? button next to a program name in the dialog displays the bindings that it defines. A click on the gear icon shows the configurable stuff for this program.

There are a couple ways in which the tool hacks the current song. One of them is changing the track color blend to hilight the tracks that are currently mapped to the X-Touch in the Mix page (see details below). The other one is to support the VU LEDs, which are off by default. To be able to tap a signal to send to the VU LEDs, the driver will automatically add 8 send tracks, and one send device where the signal should be tapped. The tracks and devices generated by the driver are filtered out from the mappings. This allows to easily tap signals anywhere, including for instance tapping between each device in a chain to monitor the gain structure (see Devices page).

You should refer to the bindings dialog for details. Here is an overview of what each page does in the default program:

(these bindings apply everywhere)
The ENCODER ASSIGN buttons select the current page. The row below the LCD select the middle frame view in Renoise. GLOBAL VIEW toggles the VU LEDs. The TRANSPORT section mostly does what is expected. FADER BANK and CHANNEL buttons move the X-Touch frame around.

ENCODER ASSIGN / PAN/SURROUND (default)

Maps 8 tracks to the 8 X-Touch channels. Select/Mute/Solo buttons, encoders, and faders all do what’s expected. The track name (and parent group name) is displayed on each scribble strip using the track color. FLIP toggles Pre/Post. A “popup” will display volume changes in the second row and panning changes in the first row of the strips.

ENCODER ASSIGN / PLUG-IN
This is like “enter the selected track”. X-Touch channel #1 edits PreFX vol and pan/width (if SHIFT is pressed), channel #8 edits PostFX vol and pan, and channels #2-7 map up to six devices in the device chain. If VU LEDs are enabled, the output volume of each mapped device is shown. Encoders select parameters and faders edit them. A click on an encoder in turn “enters the device” and switches to the Params page. LEFT and RIGHT buttons change the selected track. Popups appear on the strips to display the value changes.

(Encoder click on a device in the Devices page)
Maps up to 8 parameters of the selected device to the X-Touch channels. Scribble strips display the parameter name and value at all times. Encoders and faders edit the mapped parameter. LEFT and RIGHT change the selected track and UP and DOWN change the selected device.

ENCODER ASSIGN / SEND
Makes using sends a breeze (no MB send support yet… It’s coming! Someday.) Maps each send (except sends spawned for the VU LEDs support) on a track to an X-Touch channel. Fader edits send amount, encoder edits panning, SHIFT-encoder edits the receiver. A press on an encoder where there is no send will spawn one. A long press on an encoder where there is a send will delete it. With CONTROL pressed, encoders move the sends around. The device index and receiver are shown where there is a send. LEFT and RIGHT change the selected track.

(I’ll add the device shuffling logic to the Devices view also. It’s just not here yet.)

There’s a lot more that can be done with this controller. If you have any needs or suggestions, let’s talk about it! The right side is mostly still available, more pages can be added, and more renoise can be automated.

Get the tool here dev.bl0b.X-Touch_0.1.xrnx (55.1 KB)

Please report issues on the git repo si I can keep better track.
