hi… i’m not really familiar with ft2 instrument list, instrument keymapping or the lot. or renoise for that matter.
how do i copy current note-on keymappings to note-off keymappings? etc?
You can’t natively in Renoise…
However you can use scripting for that.
This script gives you two extra context-menu entries and functions to copy all keyzones from either note-on to note-off or vice versa:
2455 com.vvoois.Layer_exchange_Rns270_V1.2.xrnx
(Fixed target deletion, forgot to set step -1 for count down, also forgot to copy the map_velocity_to_volume and use_envelopes switch states to the new mappings)

Attachment 2453 not found.
thank you. what do you think are my chances at looking at that and being able to make it so that the note-off keyzones are at a different pitch to the original sample? 
ahh, i see this doesn’t work if one has created slices in a drumkit. I’ll try with one sample
Okay, kind of got it working:
minor alteration:
local oct_base_note=nil
oct_base_note=base_note-12
renoise.song().instruments[instrument]:insert_sample_mapping(target_layer, sample_index,oct_base_note,note_range,velocity_range)
however, seems to result in a hung note…
thank you so much vV!! with the octave-up modification this is exactly what I was hoping to accomplish but lacked the resources and wits required to crack the two table thing that you seemed to knock out at a moment’s notice!!
I have removed one error in my script but i don’t think it has got any much to do with it.
A “hung note” probably means that the base_note for the note-off is probably wrong or perhaps need to be base_note-11. Just look what note-mapping the indicator is pointing at when releasing the key, you might see the note-off layer may not be referring to the note that you have set.
Or something different is going on.(Like the “use_envelopes” value should perhaps be different)
the actual pitch is correct (+12 transpose). but i guess the point is to use an envelope that kills the noteoff sample from playing. it works anyway, and it’s awesome. thank you very much.
Well, I guess my next question is: how to make the same thing happen with drumslices?
or are drumslices only available in the note-on layer?
im doing a modification to this that gives two context menu entries, one for ntoe-off +12 and one for note-off -12. 
Don’t think you can do any kind of manual mapping of sliced sample at all!
The note-off layer isn’t used for slices, neither during playing the instrument, this is the reason i didn’t added keybindings because this would probably generate errors.
Fixed another forgotten object copy btw. so we’re now at version 1.2
im going at this in a really wack way, but it seems to work.

Simply expand the function parameters?
local function copy_note_layers(source_layer,target_layer, offset)
local instrument = renoise.song().selected_instrument_index
--delete target layers prior to copying (to prevent overlays)
if #renoise.song().instruments[instrument].sample_mappings[target_layer] > 0 then
--Note that when using the delete_sample_mapping, the index is changing on-the-fly
--So you have to remove the mappings from the last to the first entry instead of vice versa.
--Else you get errors half-way.
for i = #renoise.song().instruments[instrument].sample_mappings[target_layer],1,-1 do
renoise.song().instruments[instrument]:delete_sample_mapping_at(target_layer, i)
end
end
for i = 1,#renoise.song().instruments[instrument].sample_mappings[source_layer] do
local base_note = renoise.song().instruments[instrument].sample_mappings[source_layer][i].base_note
local map_velocity_to_volume = renoise.song().instruments[instrument].sample_mappings[source_layer][i].map_velocity_to_volume

local use_envelopes = renoise.song().instruments[instrument].sample_mappings[source_layer][i].use_envelopes
local velocity_range = renoise.song().instruments[instrument].sample_mappings[source_layer][i].velocity_range
local oct_base_note=nil
oct_base_note= base_note + offset
renoise.song().instruments[instrument]:insert_sample_mapping(target_layer, sample_index,oct_base_note,note_range,velocity_range)
end

copy_note_layers(NOTE_ON, NOTE_OFF, 12)
end
local function note_off_to_note_on()
copy_note_layers(NOTE_OFF, NOTE_ON, -12)
end
You can also simply generate some GUI element that simply calls these functions for you.
local function octdn()
copy_note_layers(NOTE_ON, NOTE_OFF, 12)
end
local function octup()
copy_note_layers(NOTE_ON, NOTE_OFF, -12)
end
local function octdntwo()
copy_note_layers(NOTE_ON, NOTE_OFF, 24)
end
local function octuptwo()
copy_note_layers(NOTE_ON, NOTE_OFF, -24)
end
