I know you can set volume and panning with effects commands, but is it also possible to draw volume envelopes over tracks, or draw lines to specify panning?
Let’s say I make a tune with a piano playing over a drum beat. Normally I would set the drum beat first, then play the piano over it, so the two are more or less perfectly synched, and I can make slight adjustments to the piano. But what if I’d recorded the piano first and then wanted to merge it with a rhythmical drum beat that uses a completely different temp. Can Renoise let me select part of a track and change its speed - changing the notes and delays, without changing the tune’s tempo?

- Yes, Reniose has an “Automation Editor Panel” in the lower area.Any parameter of any effect added in the effects chain for each track can be automated from the Automation Editor, using point curves.This is magnificent. However, many customers have already protested that the Automation Editor needs to be drastically improved! This editor is too simple, very basic, and slows down the speed of composition each time it is used.But with a little patience and learning, you can automate virtually everything.I recommend automating at the end of the composition.
- I think it is not possible.Perhaps there is a shared a tool to help with this work.It is best to be able to play live to record a new tune, synchronized with the definitive tempo. For that, You can proceed in 2 ways, for example:
-
In Options Menu, activate “Metronome Precount Enabled” preference. This Metroneme start before the play.
-
Or you can create 4 new patterns initially, for play a rhythm of percussion, and start live recording on pattern number 5.So take the pace mentally to start.
To change the individual tempo per track, you have no choice but to do it manually, moving note by note.I think I remembered that this was discussed in the forums. I do not know if there is a tool.However, given my knowledge with LUA, I think it is possible to build a simple tool with a bit of math, copy, paste, and create news patterns.But I’m sure adding a lot of delay parameters for each note in the modified track and I do not like that.
You have not bought a license from Renoise yet? What are you waiting for?

In the next version is possible the addition of GUI for hight resolutions, and maybe a new version of Automation Editor Panel, This topic has been much discussed in the forums lately, and would be a very logical step:
- GUI for hight resolutions (this is a “half confirmed topic” for the next important version).
- Best Automation Editor Panel (this should be considered an obligation! But there is nothing confirmed).
ThisAutomation Editor Panel, could use layer overlay or several windows stacked to be able to contrast different curves of automations.With regard to pianorroll, I prefer not to comment any more, I think it could be a more integrated tool within the pattern editor, for the display of blocks of notes, a visual aid with basic editing capability, rather than a complete note editor (pianorroll).
