Hi,
Let’s say you are using FL or Ableton. You create a track and load it with an audio sample. Then, you click the play button. Your track start playing. Now, can I do that in Renoise without assigning a note in the track?
Cheers
no, you can’t.
here’s why:
in other DAWs you have audio and midi tracks.
in renoise you only have midi (sortof) tracks.
that’s why there has to be a note event which triggers an instrument to become audible.
imagine other DAWs would only have midi tracks. you wouldn’t hear a thing without entering a note beforehand as well.

Oh ok. I didn’t know that.
So, now I’m thinking. How do I know which note I need to use to trigger an audio sample? I mean, I don’ t want to play my sample out of tune. I want to play it in the way it is.

Usually the note “C4” is the one, maybe somebody else has something to add?

nothing more to add.
the original pitch is always triggered with C-4 by default.

And if I’m not wrong, this is where the magic happens:

Yep, any sampler in any DAW or piece of hardware needs to know the root note of the sample - better sample libraries tell you the note of the sample for precisely this reason.
