Hi all,
I’ve been using Renoise for a long time now, and recently switched to version 3. I have some issues which are making my workflow less fluid now, and maybe there are some options which I’ve not found which could help me out, so I thought I’d put this to you guys.
Firstly, I sometimes use my computer keyboard to play vst instruments, previewing presets etc, but I’ve found that if the window focus is on the actual vst then my keyboard no longer plays the synth, I have to click back into Renoise to enable the keyboard again. This makes scrolling through presets in a vst instrument tedious as after every change I now need to click back on an actual Renoise window to be able to play it. I never noticed this behaviour in previous versions of Renoise at all. Any ideas how to get this back?
The second one is a similar focus issue (I think). I’m trying to remember this correctly as I’m not able to get to Renoise right now but I think it has something to do with auto capturing instruments (Which again, is something I’ve always had switched on). When clicking on different tracks in Renoise, the newly captured instrument seems to take focus, meaning that when I key in a note, nothing happens because I need to click again on the pattern window (Even though I’ve already clicked where I want to key in a note). This never used to happen in version 2. Anyone got a work around for that? The whole auto capturing of instruments seems more clunky in version 3… perhaps this is because it’s always opening the actual vst when detecting, but I’m not entirely sure.
Anyway, any help with these issues would be massively appreciated. I know they may seem trivial but I’ve really noticed a disruption in what was a very fluid process for me.
Thanks!
