I am having a problem with Renoise where many things stop responding. Pressing the space bar won’t play the song, pressing the play button won’t play the song. I can’t scroll up and down using the mouse wheel or by grabbing the scroll bar. I can do some things like change instruments and turn specific tracks on and off. Pressing record or escape both seem to work in that I get the red outline. But no sounds come out when I press on the keyboard and notes aren’t recorded either. Loading another song doesn’t fix it I have to shut down Renoise and open it back up again. I don’t know what makes this happen but after being away from my computer for awhile I will return to find it in this state.
What OS do you use? What renoise version?
Maybe you’re using a buggy plugin which is causing memory leaks.
I’m on Max OS X 10.10.4 and Renoise 64 bit V3.1.0. I tested your idea about a buggy plugin last night. Before I went to bed I started up Renoise fresh and with just an empty new song with no plugins loaded and when I woke up this morning it was in the condition I described in my first post.
So your issue happens when renoise is running a long time? Does the memory usage increase during this time? Does this happen with the 32bit version, too?
Maybe renoise itself have a memory leak on osx.
I’ve witnessed something similar on windows if I’d have another (music)program opened at the same time, locking the soundcard, I think this is only the case with asio drivers. What are your soundcard settings?

I only notice this happening after I come back to my computer after being away for awhile. I checked the memory used by Renoise before I went to bed and after I woke up (and Renoise was all messed up) and it had increased by only a couple mb so I don’t think it is a memory problem. My computer also had plenty of memory available. I haven’t used the 32 bit version and would rather stick with the 64 bit version but I guess it is something to consider testing.

Hmm, I’m not sure what soundcard settings you are referring to. Things configured within Renoise or some settings in OS X?
I discovered what causes it; when I turn off my monitor and back on it does it. That is why it seemed like it happens after awhile, because at night I turn the monitor off and turn it back on in the morning. But I can open Renoise, turn off my monitor, and turn it back on a few seconds later and Renoise will be messed up so I can make it happen any time I want.

Huh - what is so special about that monitor? Seems like a very strange issue to me.

Do you have your system set to enter sleep/hiberation mode when it’s idle, or when the display is turned off?

Well maybe it is because the monitor is also the audio out; I am running the audio from the computer to the monitor through the hdmi cable.

No I have those modes disabled.
