Request:
It would be useful if the tooltips in Renoise could contain hyperlinks that point directly to explanation videos for the specific device being hovered.
Explanation:
When hovering over a device in Renoise, a tooltip already appears with a short textual description. Expanding this tooltip with a clickable hyperlink to an official explanation video would improve usability and learning speed, especially for users who are not yet familiar with certain devices or parameters.
The link could redirect to the corresponding tutorial video on the Renoise YouTube Channel where the device is explained in detail.
Example Workflow:
-
User hovers the mouse over a device in the DSP chain.
-
The tooltip appears with the normal short description.
-
The tooltip also includes a hyperlink such as:
“Watch device explanation video”.
Clicking the link opens the official Renoise tutorial video for that specific device.
Advantages:
-
Faster learning for new users.
-
Direct access to official explanations without needing to search manually.
-
Keeps documentation connected to the interface itself.
-
Reduces friction when learning complex DSP devices.
Optional Implementation Idea:
The tooltip could contain a small icon or text link that opens the relevant video in a browser.
Summary:
Embedding direct video hyperlinks in device tooltips would integrate documentation and tutorials more tightly into the Renoise interface and make device learning significantly more efficient.
