New Tool (3.3): Almost Drums

Oh man! Yay!!!

Right out of the box, the very first bass drum it produces… Just beautiful. @martblek, thank you so much!!! Hi-hats are just wow. Hot damn! The cymbals are basically the open-hats and ride cymbal sounds. YEAH!!!

There’s still a lot to catch up on.
There are a few things I really don’t like, but I’ll save that for next time.
Now I’m going to work again for a while. At least you’ll have more time for reminders.
The randomizer is really basic.

And a new video with a different version of the older track, showing off all the neat percussive sounds this Tool is making (using the TDR Limiter GE in Reaper for loudness/stereo):

Quick bug fix in v0.06

I’m having a strange issue where the tool seems to have reverted to an earlier version after this last update… cymbals and alternate metallic hihat are now missing, and it’s back to just the 4 original generators.

Did the bug fix revert to an earlier version of the code? Tried reinstalling, updating tools, restarting renoise, etc, all to no avail… anyone else having this problem?

Not here, seems to have changed a bit - now there’s a saturator in mine, and all the pieces are there.

Ok, weird and good to know. Guess I’ll try again

edit: got it working again. for some reason it was loading the old version. who knows why :upside_down_face:

Had you accidentally toggled this? ;

no, it wasn’t that. it was definitely an older version, as that toggle option wasn’t even available, and cymbals and claps were totally absent

all good now though!

Hello,
v0.07 is out.
New section added “Glockenspiel & Gong”.
The glockenspiel still sounds more like a “triangle”
and the gong is still a long way from being a real gong,
but I’m working on it :slight_smile:
I’m looking for the right dissonances.
I’m trying to imitate the sound by splitting the real gong sound into frequencies using FFT,
creating oscillators and putting them together, but there is a betrayal somewhere.
it doesn’t work very well :frowning:

@martblek this thing keeps getting better and better - also LOVE the new layout, much more efficient. Those gong sounds are really neat in the lower frequencies. Great job!

thanks, but I still have a lot to learn

Don’t we all :upside_down_face:

any chance of a Renoise 3.1 version for us people stuck in 32bit land?

Hello,
I don’t know how much the api has changed since version 3.1.
if you edit the manifest to an older version, it doesn’t work?
I can’t try it now I’m away from home.
