Sounds indeed useful!
Haha, nice one!
Iāve been working on a similar tool too, but then there happened lifeā¦ and your dsp chain detection is a very nice twist!
I think Iāll complete mine anyway, because it was a nice learning experience.
Cheers!!
Not only that, perhaps your code is more easily forkable into other projects or has some better optimizations
Installed your tool, played around with it, closed it pressing an icon in the bottom right of the tool gui, closed Renoise.
Opened Renoise a few hours later and got;
I canāt find the tool entry in the tools tab anymoreā¦
Looks like the tool needs a document created sanitizerā¦
I changed 3053 to:
function check_middle_frame()
renoise.app().window.active_middle_frame_observable:add_notifier(function()
update_focus_editor()
end)
if renoise.tool().app_new_document_observable:has_notifier(check_middle_frame) then
renoise.tool().app_new_document_observable:remove_notifier(check_middle_frame)
end
end
renoise.tool().app_new_document_observable:add_notifier(check_middle_frame)
Very useful!!!

Interesting idea, but I am not sure how it could be implemented and be more efficient than using the built-in disk browser.
In both cases, you would still need to navigate through a bunch of files/folders to select an instrumentā¦but perhaps you had some specific idea in mind?
Oops, yes that should of course be fixed in the next version.
Another known bug is that existing modulation sets are not properly detected - copying seems to always create new modulation sets, when it should really be possible to re-use / assign to existing ones.
From the first glance - very handy tool. Gotta try it and raport back any issues. THX danoise
not really, but your tool is slightly more versatile than the diskbrowser, but your right, you would need a disk browser in the tool,
Hey danoise, do you think your tool could be a good starting point for a tool that imports fx and routing from another xrns file, some kind of song fx joiner?
Does it work in 3.1 on linux?
I cant see this too even if renoise says it was installed.
Ive got sonatina free orchestra library and xrni merger is basicaly the only way how to play more than one sfz instrument at the time (i wanna merge more sounds together) in renoise,
To launch, you need to right click the instrument in the instrument list.
Never was too proud of the tool, the code needs a cleanup and it can throw some errors here and there.
But largely it should work, also in 3.1.
.
When i relaunch renoise it told me that the tool is not combatible has to be disabled
maybe it is reason why i didnt see it in the instrument list (right click).
Btw. open two (or more) renoise, open instrument in every project - you can play more renoise instrument at a time by your midi 
(I would love to have possibility to import just samples from any sfz / xrni with keymap and merge them with previously loaded instrument if i want)
Yes, it canāt be auto-upgraded but you can still change the manifest so that the line specifying API version goes like this
<ApiVersion>5</ApiVersion>
Hi! Iāve tried the tool in 3.1, but if spits out a lot of errors. First it wonāt seem to work at all, but after a little while at least the sample merging (what I was looking for for now) was kind of working. I couldnāt get it to show phrases though, and it always spat out an error when selecting them.
This is so immensly useful, Iāve been woeing for this a lot of times. Are there any chances to get the tool fixed to a cleaner working state (without all those error messages when selecting instruments, I had to diable it after its job)?
This tool is sort-of retired, really needs to be rewritten from scratch. Sorry.
Maybe it would be good to simply advertise which features are working in 3.1, so you donāt waste time on the broken parts?
(until we have something better, of courseā¦)
Iāve used it a few times in 3.1 now, having drum breaks chopped into individual instrument with a bar each for phrase rendering of slices, then trying to recombine the destructively rendered to a single instrument.
It sometimes (well most of the time) has problems with phrases being present in the instruments. It would then fire an error message and show no samples in the list to copy - when starting the tool, but also when selecting an instrument with phrases. To be able to copy my samples I found as workaround to remove any phrases (and backup them) before the job, just to readd them afterwards. Sometimes out of the blue it seems to work without error messages though.
I am in process to fit up all the classic breaks to my liking, so I will be using it again and again in the near future. I am willing to report any hickups or failures, or even test improved/fixed versions of the tool.
This is a tool offering capabilities that are essential when working with complex native instruments. I cannot understand it has been abandoned without proper replacement.
@OopsIFly: yes, youāre right of course, itās a shame with the current, half-broken state. the reason is simple enough: I havenāt had a lot of time on my hands lately.
But as I use this tool myself from time to time myself, Iām aware of its shortcomings.
You might know that Iāve been doing a lot of streamlining of my code during the last year or so - efforts that just havenāt reached this tool yet.
But because of that, I could see this tool being reborn - probably with a smaller initial featureset, but at least one that was guaranteed to work 
Any news on an update for 3.2? I really need something to merge several individual drum instruments into one drumset.

This would be so handy in tandem with New tool (3.3.0) Automated Sample Recording From MIDI Enabled Hardware
Maybe one day it will be updated
