I’m a professional music producer and mixing/mastering engineer from Finland. I started making music in '94 with Fast Tracker 2 and have used several sequencers & grooveboxes since. I was happily suprised to find Renoise, and purchased it immediately. Now I can even open my old FT2 beats with it. Nice.
However, after playing around with Renoise, I’ve started to miss a feature commonly available in other samplers: Start and End markers in the Sample Editor.
I realize you can cut/crop your samples easily in the Sample Editor, or use a command in the Pattern Editor, but this way it’s a hassle if you want to make a sample start earlier. You have to load the sample again if you have cut away too much from the beginning (or press undo several times, since you’ve probably made some other changes elsewhere after the cropping).
That is why I would like to have Start and End markers in the Sample Editor. I think it would make Renoise even better for people coming from other soft/hardware samplers/sequencers.
It would be nice if the Start and End markers would behave in the same way as the selection does in the Sample Editor, snap to zero etc. And make the markers a different colour, like green or red, to distinguish between them and the loop markers.
Welcome to the club bro…
another +1 from me, that will makes probably +9 in the complete collection i’ve submitted so far
The more times these topics bump back, the better the chance we will have it one day…
What if you could do a sort of keytracking thing with this? For example: C-4 has a certain start/end point. C#-4 has a completely different one and so on. Could make some mad crazy sample glitching.
