Updated to version 0.8, beta testers required, see attachment.

New feature: Ignore muted tracks.

The feedback I’m looking for: Nope, doesn’t crash! Yup, works.

Please provide.

Version 0.8 added to the tools page.

Cheers.

Updated to 0.81

I noticed the iterator wasn’t optimized for “Ignore Muted Tracks”. Now fixed. Probably no one will notice, but it bugged me once I saw it.

Randomize Notes version 0.9 now available.

Compatible with Renoise 2.7 / API V2.

This post acts as a temporary placeholder until tools.renoise.com is sorted out. Go tools, go!

this might be a request for this tool, or might be a request for a separate one, i’m not sure.

today i wanted to use ‘randomize notes’, but did not read up on what it randomizes exactly (which i figured out by now reading this thread and using the tool). what i was looking for was a script that would randomize note-placement.

now, Conner, do you feel an option for doing this would be useful to extend your script with, or do you feel it would best be done through a separate script? or is it already possible and am i just unaware of it?

edit: goddamnit i forgot the best part: your script kicks ass. it is amazing how many options it has and how well it all works. thanks loads for that.

Conner_Bw · May 15, 2011, 3:20pm

It’s a separate script. My script only handles existing notes. Placement is a whole other story (and interface?)

Maybe something more for Iterative Quantize or Groove Tool?

In fact, doesn’t Groove Tool do exactly this?

Thanks, cheers.

rhowaldt · May 15, 2011, 4:06pm

@Conner_Bw: i agree. i’ve also checked out both scripts, and while they do change note-placement to a certain degree, it’s not really a randomize function. doesn’t matter, i’ll find a way to do what i want, if i must i’ll do it manually (oldskool!)

Conner_Bw · June 27, 2014, 8:12pm

Done in version 1.1:

Good times.

Good times.

Doesn’t work in phrase editor anymore.

Hacking at an idea this morning,
it would be useful to add a shortcut and/or button in Custom Scale mode where the notes are automatically set from the current selection.

darnellisatwork · June 29, 2021, 11:35pm

Not sure if anyone is still working on this, but … it would be awesome if Phrygian was added to the possible scales. If no one is working on this, then completely ignore this message.

Do you know the notes? Just add a line to this file following the same syntax as the other lines in this block:
