New Tool (3.1-3.5): Paketti - new features for Automation,SampleEditor,MIDI,PatternEditor,PhraseEditor,Mixer,KeyBinds,MenuEntries

[esaruoho]

there’s been requests for a Paketti Action Selector - aka a menu that has the 2096 menu entries + shortcuts available, and you can pick them from the dropdown menu and then Run them with a button. here it is.

[esaruoho]

let me know if this is a good format of reporting updates?

[esaruoho]

so i’ve been using a lot of this “load 120 random samples as drumkit” and since i throw my whole samplelibrary at it, i end up with, sometimes, instruments with a 300mb or 60mb wavefile “somewhere there”.

this lets you click on Show to hit the sample editor for that specific sample, so you can chop it up in case it takes too much space and you wanna cut the excess to reduce song size.

[esaruoho]

Some minor improvements:

[esaruoho]

added this feature into Paketti:

Selection in sample shows length of selection

Selecting an area of a ample shows the length of the selection in both samples and ms . This would be really helpfull when preparing samples for pure data

and

Selection in sample shows length of selection

Would it be a simple enough thing to add a counter for time in beats/divisions as well?

looks like this

[esaruoho]

was actually tracking. thought, geez, i don’t wanna manually name the tracks anymore based on the sample in use. i just wanna have a script do the work.

before:

after:

“Rename Tracks by Played Samples”.
it will read the sample inside the instrument, or samples inside the instrument, and name accordingly.

@esaruoho

looks like this

Excellent work

[esaruoho]

thanks @casiino !

i figured out that this is the best place to toggle it on and off, what do you think, @slujr ?

[slujr]

Yeah, nice!

[esaruoho]

added “Wipe&Slice (256)” which will create 256 even slices out of the current sample.

then tweaked the formula device dialog a bit more so it has all the current presets that are in the formula device, each of them modifies how many of the sliders is visible on the mixer (A/B/C).
here’s a little demo of what it looks like.

ok, made it write to sample fx chain too, in case you’re there.

currently trying to find more formula snippets to add.

[esaruoho]

added @kunitoki 's The Stepper from The Stepper™ Meta Device

also Inertial Slider is there, right next to The Stepper
and so is Spring Slider from @jk123 - Inertial Slider - #46 by jk123

EDIT and @martblek LorenzLFO from post your formula device code here - #13 by martblek
and @Cas Super Formula from Super Formula Device

edit: @Bit_Arts Meta Modulator from Meta Modulator Device
edit: Cas Sample&Hold from Sample & Hold CV signal

[esaruoho]

and @afta8 's Last time asking: Will Renoise eventually support smooth slides on VS - #37 by afta8 “Slew Limiter”

i think this is all the stuff so far, unless if i take and add @slujr 's formula stuff. is that alright with you?

[slujr]

fine by me. Tho I can’t take all the credit for em. @uncle_c was helping me with some formula stuff a while back

[esaruoho]

sorry @slujr - got sidetracked by this… someone asked if a LFO could be made to write directly to automation, so after some hacky sidequesting, i got this running:

[esaruoho]

here’s something new.
this takes the effect device parameter automation + volume/panning/width automation from effect column, and moves it to automation.
there’s also a “snapshot device parameters to automation”.

[esaruoho]

sorry, here’s a better gif

been adding groovebox 8120 features and fixes and tweaks:
Improvement: Paketti Groovebox 8120 will now correctly initialize the correct amount of tracks (and no longer, f.ex., sends, if you’re not on track1), will name them accordingly (8120_01 to 8120_02), and the tracks will be collapsed.
Improvement: Paketti Groovebox 8120 “Random” button will now also update the Sample Selection Slider - thus easier to continue and control.
Improvement: “Fill Empty Steps” percentage will no longer resize the Dialog window.
Improvement: Paketti Groovebox 8120: Output Delay, Random Fill, Probability, Sample Selection mini-arrows left and right on Sliders will now add +1 or -1, thus working as expected.
Improvement: Added “RandomLoad” for each part, which will prompt the user for a folder, load 120 random samples from the folder and all it’s subfolders.
Improvement: Global Groove percentages are now listed with Bold & Strong font. Same for “Fill Empty Steps”
Improvement: Heavily optimized Global Step Count modification so the update is much faster. Also added 24, 32, 48, 64 as buttons.
Improvement: Optimized “Random Gate”, “Randomize All” so they run faster.
Improvement: Renamed “Show Automation” to “Automation”
Improvement: Added “Macros” for taking you to Sample Editor to view Macros
Improvement: StepCount maximum is now 512. So 16 steps will only be played once in a 512 row pattern.
Improvement: Added 128, 192, 256, 384, 512 buttons for setting Global StepCounts
Improvement: Random Gate will no longer fill the same steps for beat triggering AND probability - instead separated.
Improvement: 8120: Added “Reset Output Delay” which resets all the Output Delays.
Improvement: 8120: StepCount is now stored when closing the dialog, and re-fetched when opening the dialog.
Improvement: 8120: Moved “Random All” / “Randomize All” / “Reverse All” / “Randomize all Yxx” / “Reset Output Delay” to their own separate row.
Improvement: 8120: Added some spacing between all parts, for better readability. Removed “Print to Pattern” for readability, since nobody uses it
Improvement: 8120: If you’re already viewing an Automation Frame, opening the Groovebox no longer kicks you to 1st track and to “some other automation”.

Improvement: 8120: When clicking on Automation, immediately takes you to Pitchbend automation.
Improvement: 8120: When clicking on Macros, focuses the correct instrument and correct sample.

EDIT: this is only the beginning

EDIT:
Improvement: Moved “Show” right next to Automation & Macros, for easier discoverability.
Improvement: Merged “Show” and “Macros” to “Sample” for better discoverability.
Improvement: 8120: Sequential Load will let you select max 120 samples per part, manually, instead of Randomly.
Improvement: 8120: Random & Slider for selecting sample will now select the last sample instead of only the second last.
Improvement: 8120: Sample Slider will now correctly select the 120th sample too
Improvement: 8120: Upon opening the Dialog, the Sample Slider will be correctly set to the correct sample.
Improvement: 8120: Global Groove Control Sliders will now correctly set 99% to 99% in Global Groove settings in the song, instead of 99% = 100%.
Improvement: 8120: Tweaked the interface once more - reintroduced the missing global steps controls and made sure there is no extra spacer at the end of the interface.
Improvement: 8120: When clicking on Sample, the correct Track is selected.
Improvement: 8120: When changing Stepcounts, the track title is modified - and then, the titles are used to fetch the Stepcounts when opening the dialog. This saves them in the best possible way (simplest way, too)
Improvement: 8120: When changing a Sample (Slider or Valuebox), the correct Track is selected.

hi. sorry for the silence.

someone on a Tracker Discord asked if i could port the .REX (not .RX2 before you kneejerk) import written by @mxb into working with V3.4.4. So I took his REX import code and reworked, rewrote etc it from scratch.

here’s all the good stuff that is now in the newest version of Paketti.

Feature: Paketti REX Import.
This rewrites, from scratch, the REX Import tool originally available for Renoise V2.8 only, which has been abandoned for the past 14 years or so, and adds additional features.

• The REX filename you loaded, is printed to the Instrument Name and to the Sample Name and to the Sample FX Chain & Sample Modulation Chain names.
• Will always add a new Instrument instead of dangerously overwriting the currently selected Instrument.
• The REX Headers before each Slice are cleanly removed.
• Pakettify the instrument (introduces 8 macros, PitchBend, Cutoff, Resonance, cutoff LFO Amp, cutoff LFO Freq, Overdrive, Parallel Compression, Glide PitchBend.)
• The *Instr. Macros device will have the instrument slot number in hex and the name of the imported REX file. so 1F 507_COOK.REX will be the name.
• User specified Paketti Loader defaults will be applied (Autofade, Autoseek, Loop, Interpolation, Oversampling, etc)

so yes:

Rex Files

Hi guys´=) do anyone of you know if it is possible to import rex files into renoise? [:ph34r:]

REX support

On the Propellerhead’s Recycle page, it says that Renoise supports REX files, but I don’t see it. I have some Rex files (from some CM sample download or something) and I can’t open them usefully. Thoughts? [fGkTqJ7.png]

Why doesnt Renoise support REX-Files?

…as there is the Rex Shared Library? Is there a License needed to include that Format in Renoise? greets kola

Feature Request: Rex/Rx2 Support

Basicly what it says on the tin. I’m pretty annoyed by the fact that I cant load rex/rx2-files into Renoise without using thirdparty software, and even then it’s a bit of a hassle. I’m not interested in support for importing the midi-data associated with the rex-file (the location of each slice on a timeline), but I’m interested in getting the slices loaded up in the sampleslots under a single instrument. Much like if I had loaded a wav-file loop and sliced it manually in Renoise and sent the sl…

Rex File Format Support

IT would be cool if renoise were able to import these. like, if you load it as a sample, the broken up parts would be rendered like a renoise drumset. even just that much functionality would be cool. also, if you were to drag a rex file from the browser onto the pattern editor, it would lay out the notes so that they sync up and sound natural with the tempo, so you wouldnt have to do it sample by sample

Request for Rex Feature

I have sent this plea, to the propeller heads to lower the costs of the REX licence(s) for software developers. Topic: A plea to remove the high cost of Rex / Rx2 Licences Message: Hello, A good day to you, I am asking you to look into your hearts, and lower the price of the licences for the REX option for the Software Developers. This is really hurting the Music industry big time because software like Bitwig and Renoise3, that are otherwise equipped to make awesome creative new kinds of so…

Can Renoise use rex files somehow ?

Hello, Read some comments about this from a few years back. What is the current status ? Is it possible to make use of rex files in Renoise ?

as long as these threads talk about .REX and not .RCY or .RX2 - it works.

[Jonas]

Cool! I am curious why rex 2 was/is never implemented seeing this is the most popular/newest version of rex, is there a license issue or simply to difficult to implement?

[esaruoho]

i’ve reached out to them for information and am looking around. i hope they didn’t bake it inside a .dll requirement cos that’d be wack.
