New tool (3.1): GuttRoll - Pattern editing for Guitar Players

Looking forward to trying this one out!

What a great tool! This is really going to change the way I compose music!

There is still couple problems… Tool keeps adding this E-Guitar instrument. Would it be possible to get option to disable that? It would be nice to use tool with multiple tracks - so it would be only an interface, nothing more.

It would be also nice to have able to change default octave of generated output. Well, I could transpose output afterwards (pretty slow) but then sheets are also transposed (unconventional).

EDIT

Ifound _load_instruments_option from main.lua. When that is marked to false, E-guitar doesn’t appear.

But I cannot add VSTi’s to those tracks. If I do and then restart guttroll, another guttroll-tracks are added above old ones. And then I cannot composeold ones with guttroll any longer. I would like to use guttroll with multiple tracks. Could it bepossible… in distantfuture? :huh: :dribble:

I also found advanced option from main.lua. I added option to thegui to changetrack. Didn’t work :blush:

Another issue… When I try to change Z00 -option from gui, error appears:

main.lua

.\gui.lua:69: attempt to index field 'write_z_comands' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
 .\gui.lua:69: in function <.\gui.lua:68>

Hey, so glad you like it. i just uploaded a new Version that fixes a couple of things including the ones you mentoined.

I just Uploaded a new Version with a couple of fixes. please try it again and report back.

jachy: you can ajust the pitch inside the instrument

does that work?

jachy: as for the advanced mode, this is stuff that is not working so i hid it away. I should have named this option differently

I asume you would like to use the tool on more than just the dedicated two tracks?

Well, I’m using VSTi’s but I managed to change tuning from here:

This is great! It’s also possible to use a capo :guitar:

Yes, that’s would be perfect! :smiley:

Shortcut key to guttroll would also be a nice addon.

Just uploaded a new version without instruments. you can GuttRoll in any track now.

also shortcut Key added. you find it under Global:Tools:GuttRoll

Please tell me how you like it now.

Very nice! And fast! :smiley:

I found couple issues.

  1. Chords that have at least one open note (Like E-notes on E major) won’t show at sheet display.

  2. This could be related: when I create E major chord on 00, then move to 04 and try clicking bottom E-note, there comes error:

main.lua:313: attempt to index local 'selected_note' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
  main.lua:313: in function 'delete_notes_exept'
  main.lua:348: in function 'write_chord'
  .\sheet.lua:57: in function 'on_velocity_click'
  .\sheet.lua:31: in function <.\sheet.lua:31>

I test more throughly when I have some spare time. Thank you very much for this gem! B)

should be fixed now

I haven’t had much time to play with this properly yet but I tried it for a few mins and it seems excellent. I’m so grateful that this has been made, it will make writing so much easier for me.

Thanks man. Love to hear that!

new functionality and polish added.

have fun and report any problems.

i want to make this real good.

this new version should be much more responsive. the string clicking was a bit laggy before.

I think thats it with features. it is perty usable as it is now.

i dont know if its my call but this is probably RC 1

pls report anything

This is awesome. Will let you know if I encounter any bugs. Thanks for this tool!

That’s a far better idea than a piano roll :wink:

Hey @weedwalker, Just a note to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this excellent plugin! It really helps me translate my guitar knowledge into Renoise and quickly build songs.

I’d be happy to drop a few bucks in the tip jar to support continued development – do you have a Patreon or a PayPal or something?

Between this and ChordGun, my songs are coming out so much better!

hey there, good to see someone using my Tool!
I do not have a paypal or anything by now. I’d probably set something up if
i would get back to work on GuttRoll.

Feel free to suggest some new features or whatever you have in mind.
cool

I have not used the tool, as I personally have no use for it (not a guitar player). But, having just stumbled upon it, it is awesome. I had no idea this existed and its pretty darn unique for a DAW. I know a couple of people that would probably jump on the Renoise train due solely to the existence of this tool.

Good stuff.
