Renoise Forum

For everyone still surviving the pandemic, and hoping to get off this infested planet, you might want to check out my EP “Music For Spaceport Departure Lounges”…it’s ambient mostly, weird in places and a little bit like Boards of Canada, Biosphere and Jean Michel Jarre fighting in a sack. With aliens and nihilists. I hope you get something out of it. Cheers, folks!

and one vid on YouTube:

Hi everyone! Say I reverse a sample in the waveform editor, and then i right click ‘save sample’ it just literally saves the sample in its original form with no changes, anyway I can save it with all vst fx / processing without having to manually enter it into the editor and render it out? Thanks!

Hey all. First post! I believe I’ve found other posts somewhat addressing this, but can’t seem to find the solution.

I’d like to have several loops prepared, perhaps phrases or as audio, and be able to switch between them, only hearing one at a time. The trick that I’d like to figure out is how to do this in a live fashion without the loops starting from the beginning every time they’re triggered. They would just start from whatever point in the loop they would be at had they been triggered at the beginning of a pattern. I know how to program this with the S commands but I’d like to have a more live way to do this with the computer or midi keyboard.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

When I click browse in the Render to Disk window, and I’m in a song folder (which is inside a music tracks folder with over 100 song folders), I can’t get the browser to display all the folders in the music folder.

To get all folders showing, I will have to click the music folder, click ok, click browse again, and then all the subfolders will be shown, but if I’m already in a subfolder when I click browse, I can’t get all the other subfolders to be shown by selecting or closing/opening the music folder. It worked fine previously but I think the more song folders I added, the less it worked correctly. The dialog looks like a basic windows browsing dialog, so I wonder if it might it be a windows problem and not a Renoise problem? Anyone bumped into this one?

Hey there ! I’m currently experimenting with bridging Renoise with Tidal Cycles. The goal is to do the sequencing with Tidal and the sound generation with Renoise.

I’ve tried two approaches: make Tidal send OSC messages that Renoise can understand out of the box, or make Renoise understand the messages Tidal sends to the regular audio backend.

The first approach works quite well, but introduces some warts in Tidal usage.

The second approach looks promising, but I have some timing issues. Basically I tried this in the TestPad:

1. tidal sends a message to port 57120
2. my “redirt” script listens on 57120 and receive the message
3. the message is analysed, (instrument, track, note, velocity) are extracted, and a /renoise/trigger/note_on message is sent back to renoise on port 8000 (note triggering is not exposed to the lua API).

Now, when I do this the timing sucks. Like very very much. And I have questions:

• Is it unavoidable?
• Is it because the TestPad does not have some form of optimization?
• My OSC messages have timetags, so you can send a message in advance and have the target schedule it exactly at the right moment. Does renoise do that?

Here is my proof of concept, for reference.

local OscMessage = renoise.Osc.Message local OscBundle = renoise.Osc.Bundle -- open a socket connection to the server local server, socket_error = renoise.Socket.create_server( "localhost", 57120, renoise.Socket.PROTOCOL_UDP) if (socket_error) then renoise.app():show_warning(("Failed to start the " .. "OSC server. Error: '%s'"):format(socket_error)) return end -- open a socket connection to the client local client, socket_error = renoise.Socket.create_client( "localhost", 8000, renoise.Socket.PROTOCOL_UDP) if (socket_error) then renoise.app():show_warning(("Failed to open the osc loopback with error: '%s'"):format(socket_error)) return end function linlin(input, srclo, srchi, dstlo, dsthi) -- clamp input if input < srclo then input = srclo end if input > srchi then input = srchi end -- normalize over [0,1] local norm = (input - srclo) / srchi -- transpose to [dstlo,dsthi] return dstlo + norm * (dsthi-dstlo) end -- parse a tidal bundle and return a list of messages function parseTidal(bundle) local msgs = {} for _,element in ipairs(bundle.elements) do if element.pattern == "/play2" then local msg = {} local name = "" for i,argument in ipairs(element.arguments) do if i%2 == 1 then name = argument.value else msg[name] = argument.value end end msgs[#msgs+1] = msg end end return msgs end function runTidal(msg) -- rprint(msg) -- track number local track = msg.orbit+1 -- should we trigger a sound ? if msg.s then -- select instrument by number (or the first one if something is wrong) local instr = (tonumber(msg.s) or 0) + 1 -- default octave is 4 local octave = msg.octave or 4 local note = octave * 12 + msg.note -- rescale velocity from [0,1] to [0,127] local velocity = linlin(msg.gain or 1 , 0, 1, 0, 127) client:send(OscMessage("/renoise/trigger/note_on", { {tag="i", value=instr}, {tag="i", value=track}, {tag="i", value=note}, {tag="i", value=velocity} })) end end server:run { socket_message = function(socket, data) -- decode the data to Osc local mob, osc_error = renoise.Osc.from_binary_data(data) -- show what we've got if (mob) then local msgs = parseTidal(mob) for _,msg in ipairs(msgs) do runTidal(msg) end else print(("Got invalid OSC data, or data which is not " .. "OSC data at all. Error: '%s'"):format(osc_error)) end end }

Hello Trackers, this is my first Renoise module.

Wanted to learn about these new ‘devices’ I’ve never used them before,
and am very interested in the concept.

Would normally use single-cycles waveforms to create synth sounds but
decided here to try to learn the way these powerful new tools operate.

The music style is, umm experimental i guess, not my usual gabber timbre for sure.
The unmastered version is attached below, it is 139Kb.

Jek_deviceTest_01.xrns (139.5 KB)

I’d like to thank the community here for providing tips and tricks and videos
and all sorts of guidance which has helped me to learn Renoise.

Hello!

I’ve been using Renoise for about a year, perhaps, now, and it’s going really well - really liking it a lot.

I have a quick question - I have a VST that was converted to a XRNI pack (the VSCO2 orchestral suite), and while it sounds great, adding the UprightPiano instrument makes Renoise take longer to save the song because it has to package a large number of sample files in with the song. Is it possible to link to the samples on disk, instead, much like a VST?

That way, Renoise wouldn’t have to package the samples inside the song file and saving wouldn’t take so long (though loading wouldn’t be impacted by this, of course).

Hi, I am not sure this title is suitable as a topic here but write it anyway.
My book of Renoise in Japanese was published on 24 Oct. 2020. This is the step by step learning course book for tracker newbies. This book is 170 pages only so it does not cover all the functions of Renoise but I hope it would be a nice starting guide for Japanese Renoise first-time users. Of course, I checked tutorials at renoise.com and Japanese Renoise manual on the web, it helped me very much and really appreciated.
The title of this book is “Let’s start music tracker with Renoise” in Japanese.

Tried this one without samples (other than the dude yelling). Any feedback is appreciated - still trying to figure out mixing/mastering. Hope you enjoy
