I was too tempted to read your reply forward… Won’t happen again, I promise.
What is your complex melody?
Imagine a chord progression that changes keys 6 times in 8 seconds and is in a fast 13/8 time signature.
2 hand recording in renoise results in an uneditable, unreadable mess.
A melody spanning more than 3 note columns is very hard to edit even if you inserted everything neatly note by note.
Also, WHY have you not moved to a piano roll orsheet writing directly?
I. Write. By. Ear.
I write by ear. I need to hear what it is that I’m adding to so I know what to add to it. It’s live, it’s often improv, usually only half the time is it ever something meticulously planned except for the rhythm pattern and whether I want the flow of the melody to go up or down–often when I get to the chord in the song, I want to play something that’s CLOSE to the note I want and then correct it to the right note on the fly.
A piano roll doesn’t cover this. Sheet music is the complete absence of writing by ear, it’s completely the opposite.
They have paste-continuously and whatmore from renoise midi editing wise do you need, because you’ve seemed to just discover the edit step function.
Where do you get that impression? It’s actually not possible to write some things without the editstep function.
If the reasonmay besticking to Linux and not finding other options you like, address that problem instead.
??? I was making a comparison. I don’t use Linux because the CLI is far too often still required. If there’s such a thing as an “evil” interface, it would be the CLI. It requires you memorize phrases that make no rational or logical or even emotional sense, syntax for those phrases (you can’t tinker with a CLI, it’s impossible, you have to read the man page or the help file first before you can even start working with it so you can see the usage), and usually makes you type out a long directory tree if it’s something that writes any sort of file.
Take M.A.M.E. for instance, the versions from 2004 and earlier: Try adjusting any sort of complex options while just using the CLI. It’s hell. You end up typing a 30 word phrase with lots of -l -d -g -c -d -e -g -d -d in them. The third party GUIs written for MAME during those periods made MAME a usable program. Without them, it just wasn’t worth trying to mess with.
If you want fast guaranteed changes
You mean less than 10 years?
, get a million euro or 5, buy Renoise and hire 15 more developers.
Or do the same with tool developers, should be 500 times cheeper.
Well, when it’s laid out to me in 2003 that the Renoise team listens to the people on the forums, and they actually care, and yet not one simple-to-implement option I’ve been asking for since then has even slightly been considered. It took someone winning an EDM contest for the live record option to even make it’s way half-assed into the program.
Or switch to a piano roll/sheet, will be … you get the point… cheeper and much faster.
Again, I write by ear.
Try a bucket of ice water, dunk your head and scream for a second or 2. Very efficient, I’m not joking.
If you knew a lot about mental issues, you’d know that’s a joke.
