Idea: Midi Drag

[majjam]

Dear Renoise community,
pasting multiple midi files into one single Renoise project is a hard task as it can be done only via second Renoise instance.(as far as i know)
Please refer following forum post for this: Importing Midi+Xrns Into Patterns/Session

As know LUA scripting offers a lot of nice ADDONS i feel like to show you my idea of a MIDI-DRAG-Tool:

Track and Postion shall be a get/set function:
Settings will be read from actual position pointer, but can be changed by values.

Extend Pattern is for adding more lines to the pattern if needed
Overlap into next pattern means cutting the midi data and seperate
There is only 1 option selectable Extend or Overlap !

DRAG BUTTON is for dragging midi files/snippets from file manager or e.g EZplayer
if you press this button with mouse1 it will paste loaded midi data into selected Track/Position

Open MIDI is for opening systems open file dialog
(DRAG BUTTON must be pressed afterwards)

Create Midi Control Data and create instruments is like the typical import option of Renoise.
Pattern length is obsolete because of overlap or extend function
Lines per beat is imported from project settings

Please anybody who likes this idea can work on a tool like described ?
Maybe there are some other good solutions for this. Please tell me if yes
Thanks for reading
Max

If Taktik would create a reroute routine in his import facility (importing various samples and other mod and mid formats) to pass through a script API first and if it isn’t being used, then pass it to the default internal import mechanism, this could work out.
That would also give the scripter a chance to write a midisnippet importer for e.g. plugins from which you can drag and drop midi snippets.

That would be exactly what i need.
If this happens i promise to dig into LUA myself, to write it on my own

is it even possible to make this in a tool?

Using Scaler 2 Midi Drag by Plugin Boutique in Renoise 3

Hello, Does anyone in here use Plugin Boutique’s Scaler 2 in Renoise 3? What’s the easiest way to drag perfomances or chords midi data from Scaler into Renoise for you? It would be nice if you could just drag midi data onto the same selected track and then select the instrument from there using hexadecimal than having a whole new track, pattern and empty instrument slot be created for each set of chords.

Drag MIDI into Pattern (and/or Matrix)

Hello. I’d like to be able to drag & MIDI clips to import them at specific points in a pattern, to ease the workflow of the EZDrummer VSTi (see vid & annotation) [2015 10 13 212403438] Considerations: What if the pattern matrix cell is not empty? - Paste over ? Warn with ok/cancel ? What if the clip is longer then the remainder of the pattern (they’re not all 1 bar, though examples were by chance) Cut clip at end of pattern ? Overwrite following patterns ? Pop up choice ? (…

Dragging midi file into renoise

Hi all, it will be wonderful if when you drag a midi file into renoise sequencer you can choose if create a new file or put the midi data into the current track/pattern. it is the case of some plugins that can drag midi data into the sequencer (mt power drum kit)… thanks

Drag/Drop midi snippet from plugin to pattern/track

i know it’s been around a while but it would be nice to support some extras VST functions like the midi pattern drop in stylux rmx, it makes life so easier. some vst add a little bit of extra that works in all the major daw, renoise is a major daw now so [:)]… seems like a lot of drum vst use this drop midi to pattern stuff, another one to add to the list, addictive drums, a top choice at KVR audio, a tracker should be able to do better than any other pianoroll host when it comes to drum vst !…

Drag 'n Drop Midi To Track

im still having problems with importing midi to a different track,as i see it a easy way to work around this,is to be able to drag n drop a midi file to the instrument-tracks in the right upper corner would this be an option???

track import MIDI files (maybe with a tool?)

Hi, I’d like to propose an improvement to how MIDI import is handled. Instead of creating a new song when importing a MIDI file, it would be great to be able to drop MIDI data directly onto a track. One use case for this is with Stylus RMX, where you can select a groove and modify it with chaos and time designer, and then export the MIDI to the sequencer. There are plenty of other plugins out there that have similar capability. This seems to be a common request: Stylus Rmx And Renoise Stylus …

Stylus Rmx Midi Drag And Drop

Hi there, a very cool feature in stylus is the ability to drag and drop midi data from the grooves into your DAW. i thought it was cool that i could also drag and drop this data into a renoise track. the only thing that i find a little strange in this regard is that i’m forced to close and then reopen stylus rmx to succesfully do this. it’s not a big deal, just a little hickup in workflow… any thoughts?

it’s 2021 , we need this!
