Hello my friends !
I have a little question about the whole thing : Why do we need an integrated synth while we have Morphsynth and Padsynth instruments << TOOLS >> *?
They are good enough to generate thousands of samples and Renoise can romple them as well.There is a lot of Renoise tools that can be added on as an extra built-in synth.For me, i use Morphsynth in all of my Soundwave Sculpting instruments .
T/Mangle use a standalone process thread beside the program’s thread itself , witch will make Renoise act slower. They will still be like a vst based synths. It can slow down the whole Renoise process thread when integrated.
Btw, i liked the Tangle module synth ! It is very simple to use.
I’m not a programmer, but I believe that when implemented correctly, the signal path could be “turned off” at will. If there is no processing to be done, a proper integration shouldn’t waste any resources. Of course the processing itself will use about as much as the plugin, but I’d say any effect on the DAW when these instrument sections are not in use can be called negligible.
The tools we have so far are nice to have, but far from sophisticated enough. I’ve just tried MorphSynth, and while cool, I find it very hard to “design” sounds with it. It generates a lot of different waveforms, but they’re all quite simple. With a modular rack, you have just so much more possibilities of shaping the sound, modulating it from different sources, do parallel processing to it, etc.
And granular synthesis is a completely different beast, and vastly useful in combination with a sampler, which Renoise already has at its core.
To give you an idea of what I mean, Propellerhead Reason will add a granular synth this month. If you’re interested: they’re showing what it can do in this stream:
