Colours : Samples/instruments Vs Vsti Plugins

Hi all,

Dear Renoise Team, in the next version of Renoise, please could you add one different colour between “Samples” & “VSTi Plugins” ? Why ? Because when I compose a music, I need know what instruments are samples and VSTi Plugins…

Thank you & Greetings,

Sorry, but what do you mean exactly?

VST instruments are already prefixed with “VST:” and they get displayed in a different colour in the list:

Are you talking about something else?

Once again: the more details you provide, the easier it is for us to understand you.

I would have guessed the note in the pattern editor. You don’t always want to be referencing between the two areas to work out which tracks are using what type of instrument.

I would have guessed this also, if I really sat and thought about it.

But I’m trying to prove a point here…

Forcing us, the developers, to guess what you’re talking about is a pretty terrible way to work. When people make feature requests or suggestions, they should be 100% clear about what it is they’re asking for. We’re not mind readers, after all. :)

Help us to help you!

Hi,

I speak “VSTi” & “Samples” colors in :

1°) “See Dblue’s picture” : Colors don’t run correctly changing color from “Value_Box Font”.
2°) In the pattern editor for a different color between “VSTi Plugins” & “Samples”.

In general, I think that color settings in Renoise 2 from “Theme Files” don’t run correctly… Sorry ! For me, since the beginning of Renoise 2, the color settings should be configure by block :

  • Disk Brower
  • Track Scopes
  • Master Scopes
  • Master Spectrum
  • Pattern Editor
  • Mixer
  • Sample Keyzones
  • Sample Editor
  • Pattern Sequence
  • Track Colors : OK
  • Track DSPs
  • Automation
  • Instrument Settings
  • Song Settings

In each block, we could change the color settings in : text, button back, button font, selection back, selection font, fader, etc.

Do you understand ?

Greetings,
