There’s a special place in hell reserved for whoever invented metatables.

I’ve just spent the best part of two days tugging at my flaxen locks trying to work out why the table returned by the __index of a metatable was being updated by indirect access instead of throwing an ‘attempt to index nil’ error for the public table when setting a value like this:

-- this table has no value for index (nil), but a metatable -- with an '__index' method to return a default value table_with_metatable[index].value = something -- expect that it would complain of no field 'value', but instead -- sets the metatable[index][value] variable to 'something'

So, it’s fetching the table at __index and then the dot operator is just sugar for [ ] on the table that lives at the index of the metatable. How infuriating. It makes somewhat more sense as i write it out here, but maybe i’m just stupid and this is obvious to everyone else. Zeus strike me down if i don’t find C++ references and pointers much easier to deal with. Just give us a ‘read only’ flag to set already rather than having to bloat out the code with loads of guff to deal with this insanity!! I just want to shadow a table of default values by setting and removing them in the top level of the code, it’s not much to ask.

The ‘solution’ mentioned here is merely a workaround:
Linux: R3.2.1 (Nov.7.2019) empty instrument plugin list Help, Support & Bugs Hello! New to Renoise, glad to be learning! My build of Renoise seems to be unable to find (or at least, display…?) any VST instruments I have on my system. I have tried fixing my $VST_PATH variable to no avail. The plugin dropdown list remains purely blank, with no text displayed at all. I installed v3.1.1, and my instruments are displayed and working as expected. So, for now, I’ve began using 3.1.1. I’m running Manjaro Linux, with the 5.0.5-arch1-1-vfio kernel. Thanks for any help, and lov…

Has anyone found a solution to this, or, is one on the way?

So this is a weird one. TAL Chorus (the windows 64-bit vst2 version) doesn’t show up in my list of effects plugins in Renoise. I’ve rescanned, I’ve reinstalled, I’ve double-checked that it’s in the folder with all my other VST plugins. It shows up in Reaper no problem, but I can’t seem to find it in Renoise. Anyone else had this issue?

This was fun to make, and a bit darker than my usual stuff. I did want to record the drums all in on the fly for a proper east coast feel but chickened out in the end! Need to get a MPC style pad controller.

Hi!

I recently worked some tracks in 3/4 :

I wanted to know if there are an option about this? Maybe I missed something. Because I was quite lost into patterns this time (ok, ok, I’m sooo used of 4/4…) but maybe there are some tips?

Been really enjoying breaking away from traditional linear timeline DAWs and was inspired to create new music using Renoise.

I realise it’s probably not the kind of genre usually used for this kind of thing.

Amazing amazing software - thanks so much to the developers!

Hi Renoisers

I’ve had a Lenovo Thinkpad T520 i7-2670M Windows 7 Pro since 2013, and adore the heck out of it, turning in a whole album made on the thing as well as the occasional remix, but I’m hitting 100% CPU in Renoise more and more often these days (mainly due to my relentless piling-on of VSTs). I’m toying with the idea of upgrading my system to a super-fast modern PC laptop (preferably one with a numeric keypad, widescreen and an SSD) and wondering how painless a process this is.

Has anyone done this? Is it a case of just copying and pasting my VSTs folders, doing a fresh install of Renoise (and Reaper) and it all magically works on the new machine? Or is it a whole world of pain? I have years and years of various plugins, including creaky old 32-bit ones from obsolete programmers, so am hoping it’s a straightforward process. Obvs Windows 7 is RIP as well, so I’m wondering does everything just copy and paste into Windows 10 happily?

And what’s a super-duper PC folks are using that calmly powers through dense Renoise tracks without breaking a sweat?

Thanks all!

I love the way you can break up patterns in the sequence editor with headings… What would be awesome for me would be the ability to colour-code blocks of sequences. Say you have 8 patterns in a sequence that make up a chorus - it would be awesome to change the background on this block of patterns so that you can easily see which sequence blocks are similar.

In addition, it would be nice to have the means of duplicating part of a sequence to copy/paste a second chorus. Currently I do this via the Pattern Editor - I select all the tracks and pattern rows that I want and copy paste them further down in the sequence.

There can be up to twelve Note and eight Master FX columns in one track. It is very enough for common tracker use but if we need to use full power of hw/sw polyphony it is not enough, mainly for piano sounds. Today, if there are more notes in the same column, the previous note is stopped and the new one starts playing. It would be nice to have an option, if possible, to let the previous note play. Maybe someone has a workaround for doing that?

I was exploring the convolver and found some real interesting impulse responses over at seaweed factory. Renoise convolver is pretty amazing.

Sample packs.

Does anyone know of a nice free impulse response collection, specifically hardware impulse responses?

1] Group a track

2] Collapse your group

3] Run snippet and watch a strange thing happen. From the snippet you would expect to end up back at the top picture, but Group 3 has become like a normal sequencer track in appearance. Clicking the triangle on group 3 does fix things again though.

testpad snippet

--song local song = renoise.song() --loop backwards through tracks for track = #song.tracks,1,-1 do song:track(track).collapsed = false end

I’m trying to stream Renoise on Windows to Twitch using OBS or SLOBS. The problem I have is that there is no sound coming out to OBS (or slobs) at all.

I used to use Voxengo Recorder to create an audio route to my soundcard and managed to get sound into OBS that way. But now that one either creates a single echo or the sound stutter like crazy while playing. I’ve tried different all different kind of setting, but nothing sounds ok.

Is there another way to get audio to OBS from Renoise? Any plugin suggestions?

The BPM, LPB and TPL automations in the Master track only update once per line and so do not show sub-lines in the GUI. But the GUI only correctly updates between this and the regular version when switching either to or from an active automation.

Hello all. I’m getting some weird behaviour with sysex callbacks on long sysex messages. I wanted to code up a way to detect a Push by getting the standard MIDI sysex id request reply, then parsing it to check it matches a pattern.

The problem i am running into is that a message longer than 24 bytes seems to get split in two and the callback fires twice, with the first 24 bytes then the remainder (11 more bytes in the case of Push 1 which sends a 35 byte id reply).

The really annoying thing about Push is that it has two MIDI ports, but when you send an id request to either one, both respond to it! Madness. Anyway, i have it working ok, not perfectly, but it detects that Push has responded. I’m just capturing the 24 byte table and parsing that, but i would love to know whether i’m doing anything wrong.

Code is q ugly, but i just pulled out the function as it was when i discovered what was going on. I have rewritten it now to be a bit nicer.

function Push:findDeviceBySysex() local id, result, t_input, t_output = {}, {}, {} for i, device in ipairs(renoise.Midi.available_input_devices()) do t_input[i] = renoise.Midi.create_input_device(device, nil, function (reply) id[device] = reply print(t_input[i].name, id, os.clock()) rprint(id[i]) -- Close the port after callback gets fired so lose the last 11 bytes. -- If the close() is commented out, then the reply is set to the last message response only (remaining 11 bytes) as callback is fired twice. t_input[i]:close() end ) end for _, device in ipairs(renoise.Midi.available_output_devices()) do t_output = renoise.Midi.create_output_device(device) t_output:send(Midi.sysex.id_request) t_output:close() end print("hello", id) rprint(id) -- parse reply and set stuff here, blah blah blah, etc. nothing to do with the MIDI part. end

I’m thinking i could just find a way to join the two tables. But maybe there is an answer? I started printing the clock time to see if it was anything to do with sending and receiving MIDI too fast, but it seems it gets buffered so that was not the problem. Thankfully, as i had plans to start using coroutines and all sorts of nonsense to sleep the call to close until the message was definitely sent…!

Edit: still on V3.2.1 as i have an old Mac running osx10.11.6.

I have recently started using the plugin Valhalla Supermassive with Renoise and have noticed a very strange issue. I know it’s 3rd party software, but I don’t experience the issue when using the VST with other DAWs (tested in Cakewalk) and was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on what’s going on. I have Googled the issue and am coming up empty.

Description: reverb will suddenly cut out after a few seconds if no sample is playing on that track. The amount of time this takes is seemingly random (different results when playing the same pattern a few times). Then, if I set the volume on the track to -inf and trigger another sample, the reverb suddenly comes back in. It happens both when I playback in Renoise and in rendered wav files.

This is quite difficult to explain and reproduce (even for me, as I said it’s seemingly random) and so I have uploaded an example file where this happens here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tbird0t5k04q7a2/valhalla-supermassive-test.xrns?dl=1

In pattern 1 a sample plays and Supermassive builds up some reverb. In pattern 2, the sample has ended and the reverb slowly dies down until at some point it suddenly cuts out. This happens for me anywhere between line 20 and 35. In pattern 3, the volume of the track is set to -inf and a sample is triggered, and the reverb suddenly reappears.

If anyone has any idea what might be happening, or if anyone wants to download that file and confirm whether or not the issue happens for them, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Renoise use the currently selected phrase as default phrase. Sometimes, when i editing my phrases, i forget to set it back to my preferred default one. Would be better, when this is an extra option, so i dont need set it back.
