bump

Ey, was playing around with this magic tool today and thought to myself how cool it would be, if you could auto update the generate button?

Similar to the custom wave generator tool, so…while you adjust a slider, the points are automatically attenuated!

How weird… I was literally just reading this thread a moment ago… are you spying on me, Jonas? :)

Nifty idea. Shouldn’t be too insanely CPU intensive I guess. I’ll have to give it a try.

Anyway… I really hope I manage to find some inspiration/focus to work on some of my tools soon. There have been a few feature requests piling up - mainly from you - haha. :P

'How does this currently respond to note offs?

11

heh not at all! Purely coincidental, or… meant to be :ph34r:

Cool! :drummer:

lol, yeah…I guess that’s my creativity at work, always seeing options. Anyways, don’t put to much pressure on it incorporating high standards, that’s detrimental to any fun. Something, I’ve learned from writers-block a few years ago :) , i.o.w put the emphasis on play and inspiration will come, believe me!

12

tbh, took quite some time before i understood what this tool does. will try it now that i do though (=

13

Thanks so much for this!

I just spent the last hour or so trying to figure out how to do exactly this for myself… The closest I got was using a hi hat in a separate track to trigger automation with the signal follower where the right hits were - then re-sampling without the hat line…

I could have saved a whole lotta time if I’d just googled it sooner :) Definitely something I’ll use a LOT… much appreciated!

14

So, have you tried it out? Is it too cpu intensive?

15

had a bug:

‘C:\Users\plugexpert\AppData\Roaming\Renoise\V2.7.2\Scripts\Tools\org.illformed.AutomationFromNotes.xrnx\main.lua’ failed in one of its notifiers.

Please contact the author (Kieran Foster) for assistance…

main.lua:93: attempt to index local ‘this_note’ (a nil value)
stack traceback:
main.lua:93: in function ‘automation_from_notes’
main.lua:232: in function main.lua:231

edit:

happened when having found the to be automated parameter through the search field in the automation editor. In this case the ‘trim’ parameter in Ohmicide, than I tried to apply your tool and got this message.

I also have noticed, double clicking a parameter which is found in the little search box doesn’t initialize an envelope in the automation editor, like double clicking a parameter does normally. Is this a bug or wanted behavior?

Eyyo Dblue,

any possibility you can update this tool so it optionally applies to selection in the automation editor? So for example, you could have yer manually drawn envelopes for the first half of the window and the automation from notes envelopes in the second half!

17

Had a bug running the script while having the name of a track dsp device (native ringmod) selected:

18

Kieran, this is dope!

19

What I would really love to have for this tool, or the automation editor in general, mentioned it before in this thread already, but doesn’t hurt to repeat again :wink: ; is the optional ability to only adjust the curve rate, amount of decay, for uneven ‘dots’ of automation.

This so you can quickly make comb like modulations between automation points and have control of the slope rate, imo very handy stuff. Doing this shit by hand is getting tiring! :drummer:

20

This tool is properly awesome!

FR, use selection in track, that way you could use the notes from a different track to create curves on the current.

Thanks

21

Ability to just create single points to where notes are instead of curves would be really useful.

22

I think the reason dblue hasn’t bumped this with a response in ages is, the automation editor is getting a thorough overhaul. At least, that’s what I hope :drummer:

23

The only reason is that I’m too damned lazy to actually work on this shit. Haven’t you figured that out yet? :)

24

I think this is the tool that is going to make me learn some lua, cheers :D .

25

what are you intending on doing?

26

feature requests made in this thread & this thread:

27

Nice one. I can say that it works in Renoise v2.8 as well or at least the conversion renoise said it did works ;)

There’s something still annoying me about the automation editor… It’s impossible to start from the beginning of a line as it has to transition from the previous line, that’s just not right, it should be able to cope with two dots per line, a beginning and an end point. EDIT: Holy crap! Maybe I should have tried to turn off SNAP! :unsure: I’m just not curious enough anymore. The automation editor has indeed improved a lot since I last digged into it long time ago :wacko:
