Freeze

[gemini]

i’ve noticed that when you work with renoise on machines with limited cpu power (in this case, my ibook g4/800mhz) renoise tends to eat up alot of the cpu power… therefor, wouldnt it be a good idea to implement a ‘freeze’ function like the one in logic and cubase?

if implemented, this feature needs to be entirely integrated with the interface and very straightforward. for instance: just an option in the dsp-area of the gui that just says ‘freeze’ and ‘unfreeze’ if track is already frozen.

anyone got ideas regarding this?
reactions from dev-people?

Rendering to sample slots could be automated with one command.

Maybe like this :

mark up to 16 patterns,
render each pattern separately to each sample slot,
assign keys to each sample,
insert triggering notes for all patterns in currently selected track,
reverse muted tracks

To turn the ‘freeze’ off, delete instrument or mute tracks with triggering notes.

That should be quite transparent and easy to use.

but still really far from how straightforward it works with sequencers…
