New guy here. I’ve been messing with Renoise for quite some time now and there are a few things I may have missed while using it.
Is there a way to set it to auto-focus on normal left-click without alt-clicking or wheel-clicking? Alt-clicking isn’t bad, but the wheel-click sometimes ends up hitting a slider or something. Unintentionally, that is.
Is there a way to change the pitch of a sample without changing its time? I used to use other DAWs and this was possible there. I assume Renoise can as well, but IDK how I can achieve this.
Lastly, is there a way to use midi files in a pre-existing project without Renoise opening an entirely new one?
I await your responses and thank you in advance~! :3
-I see. At least I know now that I didn’t overlook it in the preferences menu.
-Thank you very much for those links! That was actually the most important of the three questions. I’ll be putting that to use as soon as I read up on how to use scripts.
-Alright, sounds simple enough. I didn’t know Renoise allowed multiple instances. Good to know!
It’s nice to know I can expect rather prompt replies on the Renoise Forums. :3
Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, taktik. :3
I would’ve never thought to look under View as I thought it was more of a Preferences>UI kinda thing.
I think you can also paste pattern data into notepad, so that you can open a new song and copy paste it back in without needing multiple instances of Renoise open. Having multiple instances open is probably way easier though, but if you’re using an audio interface the second instance won’t be able to go through it. Or if you’re using ASIO4ALL the second instance can’t also use that.
As far as using tools go, it’s fairly simple. Download, double click to install (or drag the icon onto Renoise), select tool from Tools menu. Some tools will only show up as context menus when you right click somewhere, like if it’s a sample altering tool right click in the sampler.
Thanks again to everyone who replied to this thread. I have one more question, though!
Is there any way to blur samples? I would really like to know how specifically for vocals, if that makes a difference.
Other names for the technique are reverse reverb and backverb.
I think reverse reverb is probably the more common name for it, sorry. I thought it would be blur.
I think I may have figured it out, but if you want an example of what I mean. Skip to 1:02 to get to the sound I’m looking for:
OH, then just slap on a reverb dsp, record the sample in the pattern editor, highlight, right click, render to sample, reverse it, basically you can do it the same way as it shows in the cubase video.
You can also add some silence to the end of the sample in the sampler, choose process track fx:
I’ve seen that video, but it didn’t really have what I was looking for. It was kinda halfway there.
And, I figured that I could go about it the same way as in the Cubase video, as you said. I’ll give that a try and see if I can emulate that effect.
