Loading .mid files

Help, Support & Bugs

Sorry guys, posted this to the wrong forum at first

Hey, say you are using NI Battery, recycle and renoise. So you get a nice few loops, load them into recycle and chop em up, export each beat into slices in a nice folder along with the midi files to contro each of these. Then you load NI Battery and insert the 3 beats. Next in a normal sequencer such as cakewalk sonar or cubase you load the 3 midi files into seperate tracks and hey presto, you have your 3 beats in 3 instances of battery all controlled within the sequencer so you can properly layer your beats.

Well the above scenario doesnt seem possible in renoise as when you try to insert a second midi file to control the second instance of Ni battery it thinks your loading another song. So you can only ever have one .mid file in a song.

Is it possible to insert a midi track just like in other sequencers?

if this gets added than i think being able to add tracks from rns/xrns should be added too

This is the only thing i really miss from Cubase (well, that and the mixer)

I dont actually think it is possible in Renoise to do this. In cubase it is great. You can render the break as audio and visually line up your layered hits with the break to make it utterly tight.

You cant do this in renoise. I know you can use the sample offset 09xx thing, but if you are using a loop you cant actually see exactly where the layers are supposed to go. If this could somehow be implemented in renoise i would be loving it.

I think in the sample editor we should have an option to see which tick the pattern is at in relation to the sample as it actually plays. This would be great

does this mean that you think Cubase’s mixes is better, or that you don’t know that Renoise 1.8 has a mixer? :rolleyes:

Haha!

Yeah I think that Cubase has a better mixer.

Dont get me wrong; i LOVE the implementation of a mixer in Renoise and I know it will only get better. Also the way you can drag and drop and copy and clone and reposition plugins in renoise is FANTASTIC.

I just love the metering in Cubase and the way you can customise it more (like you can set up massive level meters on all strips for the mix down etc…)

If renoise had this flexibility I would be in heaven
