I would like to map midi controllers to edit the start and end point of samples in the sample editor. Is this possible?
It is not possible through the MIDI mapping of Renoise (does not go so far).
But it is very likely that it is possible to build a tool:
Terminal: oprint(renoise.song().selected_sample)
class: Sample
properties:
autofade
autofade_observable
autoseek
autoseek_observable
beat_sync_enabled
beat_sync_enabled_observable
beat_sync_lines

device_chain_index

is_slice_alias
loop_end

â Loops.
renoise.song().instruments.samples.loop_mode, _observable â [enum = LOOP_MODE]
renoise.song().instruments.samples.loop_release, _observable â [boolean]
renoise.song().instruments.samples.loop_start, _observable â [number, 1-num_sample_frames]
renoise.song().instruments.samples.loop_end, _observable â [number, 1-num_sample_frames]â The sample frame count (number of samples per channel)
renoise.song().instruments.samples.sample_buffer.number_of_frames â [read-only, number]
The last three lines serve to control both extremes (start / end), which in any case cannot be crossed.
â Returns true when the given mapping already exists, otherwise false.
renoise.tool():has_midi_mapping(midi_mapping_name) â [boolean]â Add a new midi_mapping entry as described above.
renoise.tool():add_midi_mapping(midi_mapping_definition_table)â Remove a previously added midi mapping by specifying its name.
renoise.tool():remove_midi_mapping(midi_mapping_name)
And with this you will have access to the control of the functions in charge of modifying the start / end points. The access would be inside the Midi Mapping window of Renoise (CTRL+M).
It would be possible to do so with a LUA tool.
It might not be sample perfect in all cirurcumstances, but works quite well imo.
Thank you. It is possible to install the tool, but it seems, that it is no possible to âadd loop controlâ from the sample list in renoise 3.21.
Thank you Raul. But I am not a programmer. I will read the lua documentation and check if I can try this.
You sure?
There is an entry in the context menu of the sample list here (inside the instrument. Donât confuse it with the main instrument list). It will add the device to an instrument dsp chain (again, inside the instrument).
Do you mean this menu?
Nope.

Right click, select âAdd Loop Controlâ far down, then go to the âEffectsâ tab in the instrument to find the device to control loop points.
(Donât add it to an empty sample of zero length. I noticed it made the tool crash.)
Thanks, this works for me.
