New Tool (3.1): Paketti (now compatible with Renoise v3-v3.4.4)

[esaruoho]

this new Paketti feature is from C64 trackers written by Aleksi Eeben, Heatbeat/CNCD. i was hitting him up for ideas and he said that PollyTracker, JohnPlayer and Quantum SoundTracker all have this “Replicate at Cursor” feature…

So I’ve added it to Paketti.

check out a video with audio

yes. everytime you shoot one of the two flavors of it ( Replicate at Cursor for All Tracks or Replicate at Cursor for Selected Track) it starts looping the pattern content from where the cursor is.
i can’t quite put to words how powerful this is and how fun it is.
hope you get through the video.

here’s something that was requested by @Jalex in the renoise forums back in 2011.

quick&useful.

[Jonas (Djeroek)]

is it different from shift+g in the pattern editor?

[esaruoho]

what’s that shortcut called, @Jonas

[Jonas (Djeroek)]

ah, apparently it is a tool I once installed which groups a selection in the pattern editor , thought it was native since it feels so natural and obvious.

edit;

I think it is this tool; Group Selected Tracks | Renoise

[esaruoho]

thanks for letting me know it’s a tool. i’ve added it as a shortcut to Paketti, and it, yes, does definitely feel like it should be there by default
another “I can’t believe Native Renoise doesn’t have this” moment.

also @Jonas thanks a lot for pointing me to the tool, since i can now do the “Pattern Matrix” selection idea posted in the thread:
New Tool (2.8): Selected Tracks To Group - #9 by joule by @joule

and i already, last night, fixed the “errors out if master or send track is selected” because it made sense (your report i saw on made me smile since i had already thought about that error New Tool (2.8): Selected Tracks To Group - #8 by Jonas )

anyway, interesting stuff. also noted i need to preserve group state so if i select this:

it shouldn’t end up like this:

nice. i’ll first tackle the pattern matrix.

here’s editstep added to PlayerPro. you can modify editstep at any point in time with ur editstep shortcuts (or the Paketti midimapping for 0-64 editstep → then result:

[andreaslingard]

where do i find this?

[esaruoho]

I will send u a build over dm.

[esaruoho]

here’s something new:

Pick any automation parameter from automation view, turn a knob assigned to ”control value of selected automation parameter”.

[esaruoho]

modified it so that if there’s a selection in automation, then it writes there

[esaruoho]

for the ImpulseTracker heads, here’s ALT-X fully functioning. run it in selection, it interpolates. has the selection been interpolated already (i.e. would interpolation not introduce any changes)? then wipes it.

@Lytz1

What until now no one did (AFAIK) is an equivalent to the “edit step - move to next row with note” command,
but for the fx column. (i.e. edit step - move to next row with pattern effect) which would be uber-useful.
Maybe it’s that hard to do, I dont know.

Hi @Lytz1 good news. i have it working.
this reads the content of the selected track, and modifies the editstep accordingly.

looks pretty hot!! i wonder how to reach out to you since you don’t seem to read this forum anymore.

Paketti now allows multi-output serial assignments. This is great.

Set to multiple/stereo outputs routing

Conversely, it is now possible to turn the multi-output into stereo.

Set to stereo outputs routing

Instrument can now be moved to 00…F0 and created if it does not exist.

[esaruoho]

here’s select 00 to F0 chunks and it also adds more instrument box slots to the song if they don’t exist.

[esaruoho]

here’s selected track volume change shortcuts in dB

some of you might find this of some interest:

let me know any opinions + feedback + ideas:

[Jonas (Djeroek)]

Very cool, probably if you combine this with the auto-clone tool (Auto Clone Patterns | Renoise), where when enabled, toggling the pattern sequence icon when in record mode will automatically append a new pattern at the end, this’ll mean you can keep on recording changes into new patterns while jamming.

[esaruoho]

cool! @Jonas : i’m actually working on something related to “clone pattern + select clone”. it’s on my todo-list for this. so it’ll be quicker to quickly modify it further, or, kinda arrange the track while doing stuff.
also adding midi stuff to this too so can use buttons on a controller to fill the steps.

[esaruoho]

alt-d + alt-u supercharged to also select automation.
