New Tool (3.0, 3.1): Chop Sample

Renoise Tools
4

I get it. These tools are little different and to be fair your does the simple job better.

Thanks for this! B)

yep this is sweet, thanks :slight_smile:

What are the cases of use for this? I’ve been struggling to think of when you would want to slice like this.

8

It is very common in Hip Hop beats production.
You take a sample (of a piano melody for instance) chop it to 16 pads and then rearrange the snippets into a ne melody.
While you can also do this with Sxx, doing it via playing pads is much faster, more fun and more explorative.

Sorry, I just realised that this tool is kind of useless* at the moment, since live recording in Renoise is broken:
https://forum.renoise.com/t/new-note-columns-created-when-recording-one-shot-samples/41722

I guess it is best to take this tool offline again for now?

*useless, because the point of the tool is to record slices live, without editing stuff, but due to the bug, the recorded notes are all over the place and stuff needs editing anyway, so it doesn’t really add much over just using Sxx command at the moment…

I don’t understand why this is useless? It automatically chops a sample into even-sized pieces… is there a different tool which does this?

I thought the whole point was to be able to say “slice this sample into 16 even pieces” - why does some live recording bug make this functionality useless? It’s not useless at all…

11

Not the functionality of the tool itself, but the next step in the workflow the tool was made for to provide the first step.

awsm simple tool! 5/5

13

I use mono button all the time, so no problem here.

14

Fabulous Tool. Love it. And it allows up to 100 slices. That really does spoil oneself.

I look forward to any updates.

Blinding start!

:walkman:

Updated for Renoise 3.1

16

Looks really handy for when I use premade loops and need to change tempo, thanks for this!

17

Is this tool, or option available inside redux? I can’t seem to find a simple way to chop samples in equal parts.

18

Lua tools are only available in Renoise. Chop sample(s) in Renoise with the tool and load into Redux, don’t know if that is an option(?)

Thanks for the reply, I’m not a renoise user, and have no plans on using it, as I have my own daw and won’t be changing.

Thanks for the reply.

That’s okay. Not pushing or anything but the Renoise demo is free to download and that would probably be enough to edit/save instruments/samples and run lua ‘tool’ scripts.

Hello experts, i am new to the renoise world. this tool looks interesting but. How must i install it to use it in Renoise?
Thanks forward and greetings
