Just started using renoise this week. And I’m kinda stuck on this. I’m using an external midi device and I need it to sync the timing with renoise when i hit play. That seems to be working ok, but renoise keeps following the position pointers and starts at a point that I don’t want it to. I can’t seem to find a way to have it “ignore” that midi message. Any helpful hints?
Correct, external device is sending clock pulse, and when I hit play it sends a song position pointer. The reason it’s an issue is because the external device acts as a recorder/midi hybrid. So I choose to record separate loops at different points in the recording area. I treat them as separate “songs” but the device just sees it as one recording, and uses the pointers accordingly. It’s a huge pain to change recording files on the external device due to device limitations.
It would be a huge help to be able to filter out those messages, that’s what i was looking for. I assumed that it could be added to “Ignore specific controllers” in midi prefs, but doesn’t seem to work.
Additionally it seems kind of an odd function: When your renoise song is only one pattern it just re-loops when a higher position pointer is given then what exists in the renoise song. (<—if that makes sense)
Any suggestion on how one would go about using external software in a situation like this?
