Hi.
I’ve only just descovered Renoise. It looks like it could be just the upgrade from Modplug that I’ve been waiting for. I only had about 20 mins to play with it last night, so it could be in there somewhere but…how do I change the preferences so that when I left click on a channel or row the cursor jumps straight there and centers? It used to be called Mouse 2 in OctaMED. I fully intend to register if this program does the things I want, and so I guess I could request this feature, but it’s essential to my happiness. There’s no better way to move around the block/channels IMO.
Also, I’m well up for running FM7 alongside this baby. Anyone had any joy/problems with this? Can you use controllers to modify stuff in FM7. I ask all this cos I’m at work and I cant find out for myself for about 4 hours!
press with the right mouse on a track and the track will be selected
vsti’s can currently be automated via the *midiccdevice (you’ll find it in the dspeffectlist), but 1.2 will have a more comfortable *vstiautomatedevice where you can select the parameters directly (not via cc’s)
Thanks for the info, but right-clicking doesn’t move the cursor at all, does it?
The line numbers being in hex is a bit of a shame too, as I use ‘blocks’ of 256 lines. Also I can’t seem to ‘Range’ (highlight) notes for dragging/copying/deleting. Don’t tell me I have to sacrifice this functionallity for the nice VSTI support?
I didn’t mean to come on here and moan about it, in fact I’ve hardly even played with it yet. I’ll come back later…
I can’t seem to copy and paste info from track to track. Is that possible?
I tried Control C and Control V, doesn’t seem to work?
Cutting/copying/pasting is assigned to KEY+F3/F4/F5 respectively,
where KEY=ctrl for patterns, KEY=alt for blocks and KEY=shift for tracks.
So the answer to 1) is: shift+f4 to copy a track, shift+f5 to paste a track.
In addition, ctrl+C/V/X works on blocks, ie the highlighted selection.
To select a block, move the edit cursor to where you want to select from,
press ctrl+B to begin the selection, move the cursor and press ctrl+E to
end the selection. Version 1.2 will also have mouse selection.
Is there any difference between the demo and the regular program?
See the registration page. Most important ASIO support and wav rendering.
Can you automate a range of notes in a track, other than by coding it?
I don’t understand your question? Can you explain more?
Can Envelopes work with a range of notes, not the whole track.
No.
And please read through the manual for more details.
indeed. this will take a bit longer. there is still a lot of work to do to support that kind of skinning. but when we are finished, you should be able to define a free-form skins… still brainstorming about how to handle it best.
Is it possible to copy the first 20 lines in a track, and paste it into the same track, further down in the track? I can get it to copy from track to track, but not within the same track. You don’t have to enter in all notes for 60 lines do you?
I still agree with myself. It’s been six months now and I haven’t touched renoise since that day. I’m gona download it again tonight. I like to be able to click a cell in a track, have the cursor jump to that position and center the screen, then (WITH THE MOUSE) range (highlight) down a few lines, press ctrl-c, scroll down to line 224ish with the mouse wheel, click line 224 and have cursor sit right in it, ctrl-v to paste. That’s how i currently work, and i luv it.
OK, if the copy/paste has been assign to f-keys, fair enough, i cud get used to that. And how about dragging ranges about? Will I have patterns of 256 lines in lenght? Will they be numbered in HEX?! Or will I be using MPT for another 6 months? I’m just stubbon innit it. Either, I like fuilly customisable keyboard shortcuts, or for a program to work according to my logic. Can Renoise accommodate me? I will stop typing now and get on with some work…
I can hardly wait!
Whups! Sorry guys I didn’t mean to upset. I’m at work, you see. And bored…
I’ll be testing all these things and more when I get home. I will be flexible in my working methods because modplug IS dead and this prog has the most to offer of all that I’ve looked at. I know I shouldn’t have bothered posting prior to trying it. Forgive me.
One thing I have noticed since reading this forum is the close relationship between the developers & the users, which is great. Prompt responses too. Nice one.
I’m interested in the lines per pattern issue you mentioned. Will there be 256 available in future releases?
