New Tool 2.7:Capture Octave

Renoise Tools
1

Improved instrument capture which captures both octave and instrument.
Install and bind this to some key: Pattern Editor:Navigation:Capture Nearest Instrument and Octave.

Version 1.1: Changed so it only captures in the current pattern. Looking through the whole song took to much time for larger songs.

thanks :)

tänkx!

hi, did a minor modification to this. If you are in trackDSP view and say in the pattern editor, the first “return”-key will take you to instrument settings at the bottom (enabling display of the lower layeR) - second will take you to instrument_settings+sample_editor+disk_browser.

  
 local w = renoise.app().window  
  
if w.active_lower_frame==1 then w.lower_frame_is_visible=true  
 w.active_lower_frame = 3  
 else   
 w.active_upper_frame = 1  
 w.upper_frame_is_visible=true  
 w.active_middle_frame = 4   
end

I have a feeling this could be done in a better way - but couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to do a “if state -= 3” (if state is anything other than 3)

p.s. so far the best functionality I can envision for this is to first capture octave+instrument, then switch to instrument settings, then to sample editor + disk browser, then back to pattern editor. It will thusly be a global command, at least in this version

“Not equal” in Lua is represented as “~=”

Thanks! This’ll help.

I guess I can’t use 1-2 IF statements to get a function to run in 3 different ways. Maybe it’s time for elseif?

Any if-elsif-else structure may be transformed into nested if-else structures. Sorry my example isn’t LUA, but I think this will work in LUA as in any other programming language I know.

If you need this

  
if (A) then  
 //do a  
elsif ( ![B)](https://files.renoise.com/forum/emoticons/default/cool.gif) then  
 // do b  
else  
 // do else  
end

try this

  
if (A) then  
 //do a  
else  
 if ( ![B)](https://files.renoise.com/forum/emoticons/default/cool.gif) then  
 // do b  
 else  
 // do else  
 end  
end

Edit: Oops, probably I misunderstood you – there is “elseif” in LUA.

Hmm. Can I use if/elseif stuff to detect multiple conditions? i.e. if x=1, y=1 and b=1, then x=2, y=3, b=22 elseif x=4, y=6, b=9 then …
type stuff?

if X==1 and Y==1 and B==1 then  
x=2  
y=3  
b=22   
elseif x==4 and y==6 and b==9 then  
x=4  
y=6  
b=9  
end

You copied URL with the dots, not full URL. Sure you’re example above will make sense to Esaruono anyway though, it did to me.

Bug report: this tool seems to bug out when facing ghost notes.

–EDIT:
Possible workaround: seek nearest octave and nearest instrument separately. Only change octave if no instrument is found in column…?

Like so…? Possible update?

–EDIT:
BAH I made broken. Uhm. Somebody fix it quick!

–EDIT:
Yes It works again. I. Think.
