We're doing little work on Renoise right now, mainly small clean-ups and bug fixing and have started some other project a while ago too. That we're doing something else doesn't mean that Renoise is dead. I think it will benefit Renoise and Co in the long term.

I like to use the flexible mark shortcuts for selection. In a track's fx column, I'd press the shortcut 2 times (y,a,q,t) in order to select the upper/lower/block/whole fx-column. This doesn't work in the individual fx columns for notes though. There it's just either half of the column or the whole column with notes selected. 

Also if you could readd shortcuts for the old ctrl-b, ctrl-e behaviour that would be awesome.

There is a surprisingly simple and repetitive way to build a perfect virtual piano just by using buttons with Viewbuilder. I share it because I have not seen any tool that uses this method.

Main elements:

1. button (id, height, width, color, bitmap or text, pressed & released or notifier, tooltip... )
2. row
3. row with negative spacing
4. space with width

    vb:row { --row(0)
      margin = 5, -- general margin for all piano.
      spacing = -2, -- space between octaves ( 12 keys ! space ! 12 keys... )
      
      --- --- OCTAVE 0 (0-11)
      vb:row { spacing = -131, --row(1)
        vb:row { spacing = -3, --row(2)
          vb:button { id = "KEY_0",  height = 66, width = 23, color = { 255,255,255 } },
          vb:button { id = "KEY_2",  height = 66, width = 23, color = { 255,255,255 } },
          vb:button { id = "KEY_4",  height = 66, width = 23, color = { 255,255,255 } },

    }

1. Create a general row(1) for each octave. Then insert two rows, row (2) and row (3).
2. Group the 7 white buttons in row(2) (the buttons must be sorted in scale: C-, D-, E-, F-, G-, A-, B-. color = { 255,255,255 } for pure white.
3. Group the 5 black buttons in other row(3) (the buttons must be sorted in scale: C#, D#, F#, G#, A# ) . color = { 0,0,0 } according with your theme of Renoise or color = { 1,0,0 } for pure black.
4. Without using spacing, the white and black buttons are placed on the same line. Use negative spacing to overlap the row (3) above the row (2), for example: vb:row { spacing = -131,  . Then, all black overlap with white.
5. Finally, inside the row(3), uses rows with a given width to separate the black buttons correctly, for example: vb:space { width = 7 }

Repeat steps to create up to 10 octaves. You can group all octaves in another row and use a concrete spacing among them.

 

The crude result (with 5 octaves. The black keys use color = { 0,0,0 } to respect the theme):

 

With the properties of each button (pressed, released, notifier), key_handler, midi and mouse is possible to control this virtual piano and build very interesting tools, with a more pro look.

 

Notes 1:

1. It is possible to modify the size of the buttons and accompanying the spacing.
2. Is possible to modify the colors of the buttons grouped in octaves or groups of octaves.
3. You can add the right and left scroll buttons to display only the desired octaves (a tool that takes up little space, using only the negative or positive spacing.
4. Use "spacing" inside the "row" (horizontal scroll) and "spacing" inside the "column" (vertical scroll).
5. You can build a virtual piano vertically, using "column" and "spacing", with the same results...

Notes 2:

1. Another trick is to call the id of each button as well: id = "KEY_0", id = "KEY_1", id = "KEY_2"... id = "KEY_10", id = "KEY_11", id = "KEY_12"... In this way, we can call a group of buttons as well:

function change_color_octave_0()
  for k = 0, 11 do
    vb.views["KEY_"..k..""].color = {x70,x00,x00} --red
  end
end

function change_color_octave_1()
  for k = 12, 23 do
    vb.views["KEY_"..k..""].color = {x00,x70,x00} --green
  end
end 

Using this trick you can modify properties of each button in a group. For example, offer the user 2 or 3 different virtual piano sizes, adding an id to each row to resize it as needed. In my GT16-Colors tool, I was able to add a button that returns the last note pressed, to remember it. Pressing this button points the corresponding key back on the piano. With a little creativity, you can build wonderful things...

 

Enjoy and build your tools!!!

Hello,

This is my last compo, cool, before holidays : )

VST : Synthmaster One and Spire. Voice and Sax, samples from looperman.

Enjoy !

New tool: 

---------------------------------

Gives you a mixer to control all your send levels:

1) Choose target send track from switcher on top left.

2) Move sliders and send devices are automatically added if not already present

3) Navigate tracks by pressing the blank square buttons (left of `S` buttons). They light up green when a track is selected

4) solo tracks with the `S` buttons

Also has a MON button (toggle) which lets you hear the audio from the sends only.  In renoise if you solo a send you still hear the output from the tracks pointing to it.  The MONitor function adds Silent Gainers (-INFdB) to each track so that all you hear is the audio flowing through the send tracks.  While Autosolo is checked and MON enabled,  simply click each individual send track button to hear it`s true solo output.  To hear all sends together, disable Autosolo.

Note: Autosolo option only becomes visible when MON is engaged.

If you get in a muddle with solo/ mon states just press the RESET button and all goes back to default.  You can rename tracks in the textfields and a special renaming textfield is provided to rename the target send track.

Bug reports and feedback as always welcome though I`m not looking to start making this one much more complicated.  It is meant to be used in combination with the renoise GUI as an aid to it.

Hello! I am pseudo coding my first tool which makes all your samples 8 bit. Basically, if you want it to sound lo-fi or maybe sound more like a very old sampler, it could be one way to do it. Anyways, here is m y code. 

local function make_8bitize()
--for renoise.song():instrument(index) do
--renoise.song().instruments[].samples[].sample_buffer.bit_depth
--  -> [read-only, 8]

It is my first one, and I am new to Lua, but I have some programming experience. I need the program to iterate through all the instrument slots and see if there is a sample, if there is, change it to 8 bit. 

Can I have some advice on how to go about doing this? Is there a keyword for the maximum amount of instruments in the project?

for i = 0 and i < renoise.song():instrumet(maximum) do ?

i love to crossbreed metal with breakcore and such sick ass musick

do you know some good guitar metal renoise instrument ?

i don't want to use vsti

It's too repetitive, but its okay IMHO. (work in progress)

Been a stranger in these parts for sometime, lots happening. Anyways, I finally finished another track....

(Check edit date bottom of this post for latest update to list).

Recently I have been experimenting with glitch art. This was a progression from glitching images to produce sound. I often import images into audio software (Mostly audacity, however as renoise can open any file, i do use it too), sometimes apply effects or just save/export the audio file. This can produce interesting results which can vary depending on file format and other factors. As I am moving more towards creating my own samples, I have begun to create more glitched sounds rather than rely on others. I also find satisfaction in creating or capturing a "real glitch" as opposed to something controlled. There is art in the mistakes created when pushing technology beyond it's intended use too and I am really enjoying exploring this.

As I have also been searching for art to complement my sound, it seemed natural to seek methods of visual glitching. I found a few helpful resources and started experimenting with data bending using a hex editor (Hexedit) and Wordpad. Results varied from different file formats (raw,jpg,bmp,tiff,psd) and processes. The possibility of manipulating image layers in a psd (phtoshop file) seems really interesting to me too.

For those unfamiliar with glitch art, here is a brief description on Wikipedia:

"Glitch art is the aestheticization of digital or analog errors, such as artifacts and other "bugs", by either corrupting digital code/data or by physically manipulating electronic devices (for example by circuit bending)." (read full article here).

Some resources i have found helpful:

http://blog.animalswithinanimals.com/2008/08/databending-and-glitch-art-primer-part.html

http://blog.animalswithinanimals.com/2008/09/databending-and-glitch-art-primer-part.html

http://blog.animalswithinanimals.com/2014/10/databending-and-glitch-art-primer-part.html

http://www.glitchet.com/resources

I have only been experimenting with databending for a week, though I am enjoying the process and will continue. There is much to explore.

Some of you may already be quite familiar with glitch art, using hex editors etc. Please share your art

Some examples of my images:

I set up a kit in Battery 4 that I'm now trying to render to an instrument. It sounds terrible, and looking at the waveform I can see something seriously wrong with the sample. If I render to sample from the pattern editor, it looks fine. It's just the render plugin to instrument where it's messed up:

Fooling around with the C700 vst tonight, came up with this in about an hour. Uses samples from FFVI, so sounds familiar. More of an experiment than anything else.

I just want to make sure I'm understanding something correctly before starting to mix my stems from renoise in reaper.

When I select the "save each track as a separate file" option, I noticed that I have what appears to be individual stems of each track from all my groups, as well as a composite "group track".  

1) Am I right in assuming there is no processing differences between the two and that this is essentially done to give users more control (i.e., they are sonically identical...just together or separate)?  

2) If #1 is accurate, to hear the accurate master gain of the stems once in reaper, I would either mute the individual tracks or mute the group composite, correct? That way I'm not accidentally doubling anything. (?) 

Thanks for any help you can offer!   

Hi, I am a complete beginner to the world of DAWs. I have used LMMS a bit, but mainly stick to my go to notation editor - MuseScore. I find in my workflow that I sometimes work better entering notes for the individual instruments, but when I am stuck, working from a pattern in a DAW helps me to search for the right notes, tone, atmosphere that I need for a song. Importing and exporting between a notation editor and a DAW is a bit of a pain, so I am hoping to be able to cut out the notation editor for most of my workflow. I have been looking at a number of video tutorials and postings in the forum , but I still am not sure if Renoise can do what I want. Here is what I need to know - how do I do the following?

1. Enter notes of varying length on a per track basis by using key command shortcuts? In MuseScore, I can press "4" for a quarter note, press "c" for a C note and then press ctrl arrow (up-down) to switch octave. Is anything like this possible either out of the box or to set up in Renoise?
2. Both MuseScore and LMMS can use soundfonts, so I would need a simple, good quality and cheap alternative to soundfonts for Renoise. Orchestral and classic rock instruments.
3. There will be times when I will need to import and export from Renoise - either as tracks or full songs. There appears to be some .mid support in Renoise, but I am unsure if the XML that Renoise uses is what MuseScore and other programs refer to as MusicXML (either compressed or uncompressed).
4. Can the value (tone and length) of individual notes be changed in a way similar to a piano roll view?

Renoise looks really great, I hope it is possible to get it to work the way I need. I mainly use Linux, but also have a Mac and Windows machines, so the only alternative to Renoise that I can think of for my needs is Overture 5 or Reaper.

Sorry for the clickbait title.    I'm a trackerboy; last one I used seriously was Fasttracker II back in the 90's.  I've always been yearning to get back into making music, but the workflow of DAWs like Ableton with their piano roll sequencing never really jived with me.  I love the precision and speed of working with tracker-based notation and just couldn't get into piano rolls.

Renoise looks like the perfect DAW for me: tracker-based, able to use VST plugins and control MIDI.  No longer am I a slave to just samples.

However, looking through the forums, I am sensing that Renoise is in a bit of a state of flux.  It appears that development has been paused on it, with no real idea of when the next update will come about.  As a new user, this seems OK to me, as I've also been reading that Renoise is actually being used as people's main DAW at the moment.  I reckon that the software must be in a pretty solid state for people to consider it their main tool for music creation.

But there is still a bit of doubt in my mind about Renoise, so I pose the question to the experienced users: what exactly needs updating in Renoise?  During my research in the forums, I've found a couple of concerns users have, namely, lack of sidechaining, as well as the GUI needs major revamping.

Are there other things about the software that a new user should be aware of?  I am not super-experienced with music creation, so maybe some issues are things that will not really concern me.  

I am asking this question, not to incite argument or bad vibes, but, being a geezer, I am trying to choose software so that I don't have to keep moving to other tools because of deficiencies, thus, needing to re-learn a bunch of stuff.

Is Renoise the only tracker-based DAW out there for Mac?

Thanks for any response.
