General ADSR mapping?

Help, Support & Bugs
1

How do I map a rotary knob of my keyboard to e.g. a general attack, such that it affects the attack of the modulation set of the last played sample? I only seem to be able to map it to a specific one, but then I would need to make lots of redundant mappings (one for each modulation set). Usually you want to have one ADSR mapped that works dynamically, based on context. How do I do this in Renoise (or Redux)?

assign the same modulation with adsr set-up set to all your samples?

But wouldn’t that also affect all samples at the same time then when turning the knob?

Yup it would.
I don’t think what you’re after is possible really, sounds extremely complex, even with scripting.
A rotary knob can’t “know” what sample is played last, it’s either assigned to something or not…

yep, I guess so. In scenario’s where I wan’t different volume envelopes per sound I often use pattern commands and/or the automation editor if spread across tracks and use a global adsr in the instrument editor as bonus option :slight_smile: .

If you only want to use the instrument editor, maybe you can design some more flexibility creating a few modulation sets and having the adsr parameters linked to a macro using different scale / min & max settings? Anywho, I wouldn’t mind more macro knobs.

Basically, I want to do this, just with attack and release:

See how you only map them once and they will dynamically affect the last touched pad only?

Better make a feature request or workaround using modulations sets per sample in a multi-sample instrument?

Wait a minute, haven’t tried it myself, but doesn’t this tool help out?https://forum.renoise.com/t/new-tool-3-0-quick-vol-ahdsr/43997

Yes that tool looks promising. However, it works with multiple instruments. I cannot do this in my case since then mute groups won’t work.

But maybe that code can be adjusted to do what I (and probably a lot of other people) want. I’ll have a look. Thanks for pointing me to it!
