Hey, I finally got the chance to test v3 (beta 3) on my desktop dualscreen system,
and I simply love that I now can use both screens more efficiently. Superb.
However - there is ONE LITTLE THING I hope is possible to change/add/make optional:
I use my left monitor for editing patterns, and my right monitor for instruments and samples. Works great.
And while playing back a pattern, I can choose to view, let’s say a long vocal sample, in the sampler (right monitor).
This way, I can pay attention to the waveform’s transients and at the same time compare what’s happening in the pattern (on a desired track),
by following the vertical indication line moving through the vocal sample. But when i stop playback, the indication bar dissapears, naturally, because it’s no longer playing.
How about an option for enabling this indication also during editing - for samples that have autoseek enabled? More precisely: when I stop playback, and scroll up and down in the pattern, the indication line in the sampler will still follow, IF autoseek is enabled.
This way I could work so much closer and precise on everything, and suddenly my need for the infamous “audio tracks” is not so important any more, i basically just need the visualization.
I’m no software coder, but I assume that a function like this could be fairly quick to implement/realize?
Would be interesting to hear from the devs on this, for all I know it might not be possible at all
+INF, YESYESYES
very good idea.
The visual feedback is actually where Renoise is behind on about any traditional DAW - seeing notes in timeline is alright (delay column is not very visual though), but seeing the samples/waves that come out of them, let alone manage multiple lanes of automation by the side of the sound?? Nearly impossible in Renoise.
+42 Fantastic idea. Another easy addition that would work well with this would be modifying the beats labeling for the sample ruler to include rows, beats, and patterns.
+1! Brilliant use of what’s given in renoise 3 - sample and pattern editor visible simultaneously.
This should be thought further still - it’s not yet clear how exactly it should be implemented. (For example delt has mentioned some important points that should be considered.)
I also have a strange tingly feel of this behavior being possible to emulate via scripting… How about an updating sample selection covering the active row in pattern editor…?
