Renoise 2.8 Gets More Usable, 64-bit; Trackers 4ever

Mar 19, 2012

"Will everyone drop everything and use Renoise? Odds are, no: this tool remains an acquired taste (though don’t dismiss until you’ve given its unique workflow a try). But, then, that’s part of the joy of this: it’s not an “industry standard.” It’s just an incredibly terrific music making tool that proves that not all music making tools need to look identical."

Nov 5th, 2010

"Ever wish your music software could do something your way, something it can’t do now? Wish you could just get in there and change it yourself? That’s some of the ambition of Renoise 2.6, the multi-platform music creation tool. By opening up the entire music tracker to scripting, users can create custom functionality and control surface."

Renoise 2.1.0 smacks Macworld's tracker veterans

Oct 1st, 2009

"As veterans of the 80s tracking scene, our gobs were suitably smacked at the level of integration Renoise manages to achieve between old-school tracker tropes (the archaic HEX notation, the deceptively uncomplicated process of pattern editing) and contemporary frills (VST integration, realtime filters, huge track capacity, ReWire)."

"2.1 you can sum up pretty easily: now you can integrate Renoise with other stuff easily. There's ReWire support. And if you're on Linux, you can pipe control and audio through the ultra-elegant, ultra-powerful JACK."

Create Digital Music glances over Renoise 2 Beta and interviews main developer Taktik

Sep 16th, 2008

"As a tracker, the pattern editing in Renoise allows a “granular” level of control, for quick editing in textual views instead of visual blocks as in a piano roll. Whereas some retro-styled trackers don’t support modern features, Renoise has multi-core support, MIDI, VST instruments and effects, ASIO, audio recording, built-in effects, and flexible routing and mixing. It also has a built-in sampler and sample editing, so you can do audio manipulation from within Renoise as well as make use of your suite of instruments and effects. And the whole thing costs EUR49.99."


Renoise 1.9.1 - Release notes


Linux Journal

Linux Journal gives a workshop about Renoise 1.9.1

Feb 4th, 2008

"As far as I can tell they haven't rushed the production of the Linux version of Renoise, and their diligence shows in the overall polish to the package. The program installed easily, configures itself, and runs beautifully on both my 32-bit JAD system and my 64 Studio box."
