Phrase to Pat-trk. Pre Compact NC (Cm)
The new “Pre Compact NC (Cm)” ignore the note colums without notes when copy the currrent phrase to the current pattern-track. This also allows phrases to be used as a data compaction method for the pattern editor.
Sub-tool to export or import XRNZ phrases (folder-instrument)
Travel Through Phrases has a sub-tool for mass export or import of phrases. Exports all phrases from the current instrument to a specific folder or imports all phrases from a specific folder into the current instrument. Remember that the limit of phrases that can be used on a native instrument in Renoise is 126 phrases.
Export all phrases of the current instrument to a specific folder. In “Export”, press the left button to select a main folder to deposit all your phrases in a classified way. Then press the right button to export. The sub-tool will automatically create a sub folder with the name of the current instrument. In this subfolder it will save all the phrases of the current instrument in XRNZ format, so that the contents of the main folder are classified. At the beginning of each phrase name XRNZ will include a three-digit decimal index (001 name.xrnz, 002 name.xrnz, 003 name.xrnz … 126 name.xrnz) to sort all phrases within its folder.
Import all phrases from a specific folder to the current instrument. In “Import”, prest the left button to select a specific folder containing all the XRNZ format phrases you want to import. Then press the right button to import. The sub-tool will cumulatively and orderly create all the phrases in the current native instrument.
Export and import are very useful for massively transferring phrases from one native instrument to another native instrument, or between Renoise and Redux.
