Bad Ideas Thread

Renoise 4WD Version. For driving over and killing rare species of song.

An automatic silent Cubase/FL/Buzz/Ableton/whateverdaw uninstaller. As soon as Renoise detects any of the competition, it gets automatically and silently deinstalled.

Each time you insert a white-noise sample and an automated cutoff filter on the same track, renoise should understand you are aiming for the for party-woosh effect, and
tanned women in hotpants should appear on the screen, preferrably several women, as animated GIFS, raising their arms up and down, miami-style, and they take out their glittered phones, access our webcams, takes 8 identical pictures, and automatically e-mails them to Rowan Atkinson. Yay!

Default setting in preferences that every time the audio engine stops from using too much CPU, your CPU-most intensive tracks will be deleted.
Another default setting that the first time you get clipping from the Master it will restart your song creation to default 8 empty tracks, delete all your samples, remove all VSTi and settings and also delete all previously saved versions of the song “For you to not dare clipping again and mix with MORE HEADROOM!” (also it can occasionally even restart your PC)
Something that will measure what VSTi you use and send them to developer brands to send you tons of SPAM of similar VSTi to your Email.
Randomise song - all data, all tracks, all notes, all settings will be changed without any apparent order.
Renoise to switch off without saving if you don’t do any meaningful action for a period of time.
Renoise 8-bit version.
Score meter that will measure which program features you are allowed to use.
Renoise operating system with Windows DAW running on it. (with rewire to Mac or Linux)
Native Renoise web browser that you can use instead of Pattern Editor view if you get bored and sometimes the data on webpage can be used as pattern data.
And, finally, I would recommend to do, instead of 1 Renoise version, at least Renoise Lite, Renoise Basic, Renoise Producer, Renoise Studio and Renoise Studio Suite…

Renoise should come with swastika’s.

  • The Hexadecimal display mode could be replaced by the Hexavigesimal mode(Base 26).
  • The sample editor draw mode should have a turtle graphics mode.
  • The master spectrum analyser could displays new HQ frequencies ranges i.e. 48Hz to 96Hz
  • Interpolate track names, section names, labels , pattern names : with a linear scale, or with 2 exponential scales and 2 logarythmic scales.
  • Renoise should also be able to automatically sort notes by default.
  • You could MIDIMap each keyboard shortcut, and use the MIDI pitch bend to perform sweet transitions between MIDIMapped shortcuts.
  • In addition to the decoupled playback mode, and pattern triggering, Renoise should allow to decouple scopes views from tracks, and trigger scopes views the same way.
  • Renoise could render songs with looped sequences in such a way that infinite loops should create unlimited WAV files.
  • Drag and drop the song length information to the right side of the CPU usage, very important.
  • In addition to the plugin freeze and the track freeze tool, Renoise could allow users to freeze the pattern sequencer itself.
  • The MIDI clock should be able to ring when it’s lunchtime.

Man you gotta be a fan of some of my latest tools ;D

Anyway I got a lil bit of a bad idea.
How bout every note lane get its own pre-fx fader?

some renoise bad ideas are too good… fl studio GROOVE MACHINE. shhhh… they are listening…

Introduce a new command to the API that crashes Renoise when used.

Yeah : an “auto-crash” option ! :lol:
With a “countdown” that can be defined in the “Preferences” menu.

Print song… you never know when you need a paper copy.

auto-crash? brilliant. now buzz users can finally feel at home in renoise!

Everytime you save, automatically post to Renoise Song Forum with topic title “Check out my new BANGER!!!”

Make the demo a 30-day trial instead of the “unlimited time but limited features” model currently in use.

Add a piano roll… and remove the Pattern Editor

In the Track Scopes view, if there is an empty space (used in the lower-right if there is an odd number of tracks), that space will, instead of being blank, have alternating black and white frames.

Release a new version without bug-testing or even beta-testing it because it saves time and time is money and who needs software testing anyway.

Add an annoying MS Word-style assistant with full voice acting 'cause it’s next gen.

Horizontal automation.

I thought this was meant to be for bad ideas Renoise hasn’t as yet incorporated…

A new kind of pattern that plays from bottom to top

And horizontal patterns, too.

Wasn’t there a Tool (just for proof of concept) that played patterns backwards?

Renoise online:

-a forum window
-save and post to songs forum

I dont know if these are bad or good ideas. It would certainly help me waste a lot more time on the forum.

The forum should also be renamed to “Rebook”

I guess this is just one that renoise already has.
