@cosmic.ollie hi, these kinds of Phrase LPB value changes cannot be automated without there being a hack for it - I’ve got something like that in the “Paketti Automation” doofer - which can be accessed like this:
it creates two Paketti Automation Doofers to the Master track, and they must be activated everytime they deactivate - it’s a hacky method. here’s the content of the Doofers:
these offer the possibility of automating global groove, BPM (with limits), EditStep, Keyboard Octave, LPB (with limits), and EditMode, Sample Recorder, Pattern Length, selected Instrument Pitch, selected sample LoopEnd, and selected Phrase LPB.
but warning: these will not work while you diskwrite - so it’s not a proper hack. You’ll need to be using something like Rolling Sampler or your soundcard loopback, to be able to record them.
If you have additional ideas of what else I could add to this, do let me know
it’d be neat if scripts could be running while “Native Renoise Rendering” is happening, but.. maybe later.
Ah, okay, I understand. And thanks for the tip about the doofer—I can work with that and Rollingsampler. Now I’m slowly beginning to understand the little missing elements that people talk about in the forum, but which you need in the API to be able to implement the last few things. That and gamepad support
As a side note, I think you could resample everything inside and outside of renoise to a new instrument slot on Windows ASIO if your Interface has a loopback option. But it only works with a pattern or MIDI input, not the keyboard. Mouse drawing the waveform can also be recorded that way.
ok here’s a video finally introducing the StemSlicer idea.
“I was asked to do a remix for Ndorfik - was sent an Ableton Live project + bounced stems, and thought, geez, i’ve been doing remixes for 28 years, extracting little loops out of long wavefiles manually, why not just script my way through it. So StemSlicer was born. This will take a BPM, and then slice up all the stems in a folder to 64, 32, 16, 8, 4 beats, to a separate folder, name the files accordingly, name the silences accordingly, and after that “Load as Drumkit” will just pre-populate the Renoise song with the files. Just press a button, set the BPM, select the beats, press Start Process, go have lunch or drink some tea, read a book, watch an episode of your favorite TV series - and come back, press Load as Drumkit and start looking for happy accidents.”
and here’s a recent Esa Ruoho: Plugged Into Nothing gig where i used Paketti and HyperEdit extensively during the 2 hours. (in addition to Ableton LIve 12 and Pure Data)
I’m getting some weird behavior in Renoise after installing Paketti. When I add a new instrument sometimes it adds a second unwanted instrument as well. Usually it is a sample from the first instrument. I disabled Paketti and the behavior stops. Any ideas what could be goin on here? Thank you as always!
i’ve recently, upon request, added a method for changing the default-sample-load-in settings (autoseek, autofade, nna, interpolation, oversampling etc + pakettification) - and this is clashing with the strip silence. i’m doing a few tweaks to this and will let you know when strip silence is no longer suffering from these. thanks for all the reports, will hopefully roll a fix in soon.
more appropriate, less cuts (there are some audio drops, but i feel like it works better and is more visual and now, as an added bonus, can drop slices between pre-existing slices, etc)
ended up spending a bunch of time organizing the Paketti Preferences so that the dialog is less tall and less wide. Hopefully easier to use now. Enjoy!
