well, i’m gonna look at other opportunities to do show’n’tells, definitely!
Paketti Stepper dialog updates.
I’ve also tweaked this dialog and the Paketti Extended Phrase Generator dialog so that the same design is in both places, meaning:

p.s. one more thing
all the v3.5 features in Paketti are hidden behind a protective layer of “are you on v3.5 or not?”. This means, Paketti will only display the features that are available to your version (3.4.4 for instance), and if you do boot Renoise up in v3.5.0 - then you’ll see the rest.

Got this, playing around with the phrase script generator;

not sure what I’ve done wrong, basically was clicking on a lot of stuff, I think with the last action being changing the length to 24 steps.
edit; or perhaps changing the amount of notes to 14?
edit2; ooff pressing the unison button now crashes renoise

I’ll make a bug report
please send me the wavefile over email that you ran unison generator on
i’ll look at the rest. thanks for having a look and thanks for the report!
hi! so i have a big old paketti pattern effect command cheatsheet, with sliders and buttons for each of the commands and effect value, delay value, panning value, volume value sliders, but here’s a little thing:
and here’s two shortcuts:

thanks, i booted the interface and unison generated and no crash. hmm.
but there is something else i need to look at. i saw you had a wonderful envelope there nice volume envelope (i like it a lot) - and with unison, it got wrecked. i think i need to have a think about how i could make it so that the volume envelope will not be overwritten
yeah, the first few tries here also nothing crashes, but after resetting the steppers a few times and randomly pressing button and adjusting sliders in your tool while triggering the instrument using my midi keyboard (perhaps essential?), I got it to crash again.
ok i have an idea what the “note column nil” is about. were you on group, send or master track? cos it’ll error there, for sure.
so i wrote protection against that. i’ve posted it on github now.
i’ll see about making this crash.
unison is a bit of a beast, it does a lot of stuff … what i could in theory do is make a non-pakettified unison … i’ll have to think about it.
but in the meanwhile, you did manage to create 119 phrases, so i’m writing a “when trying to create one over the limit, just duplicate instrument and keep the selected phrase”. that should fix the other “just going wild” issue you reported a while ago.
ok, i’ve pushed a fix, i somehow left this unposted.
In the latest github release in renoise 3.5.1 I´ve been able to crash paketti again using the phrase script generator pressing unison after a lot of random value changing in the tool gui+

thanks for these! i’ll have a look.
ok the first pakettify button - i believe you were trying to pakettify an instrument with multiple samples, not a single sample.
i’ve written it so that the sampleslot count is matched to the original sample, when pakettification is occurring.
this should take care of that - i’ve updated the pakettifier to handle multiple samples. should help. it’s pushed to github.
and yep, @Jonas - i have a few sample creation scripts in paketti that also cause crashes, and i do want to know why and if it’s paketti side where i messed something up, or something that renoise shouldn’t be doing and is doing.

edit; Perhaps the problem is the same instrument number being triggered/generated on multiple tracks at the same time, then doing ‘stuff’ in your tool?
fixed. pushed.
the tool just goes “track 3, has selected instrument y, duplicate = blammo” – it doesn’t read any other track except selected track, so it might not be this kind of stuff 
but a video of you using and coming across errors would be neat cos then i’d know what are you even doing with it (i use phrase generator pretty slowly, i’ve never gotten to 126 phrases f.ex. on an instrument, and wouldn’t even know how i’m getting there)
what do you mean with 126 phrases? I’m using your phrase generator script in one phrase in one instrument when I’m crashing paketti. Will try the newer build. Unfortunately don’t have the chops to record my screen.
thanks but that doesn’t seem to be necessary anymore, I can’t get it to crash anymore! Will try some more
