• Added: Menu entries in the right-click instrument box menu for both functions also

• NOTE THE KEYBINDING/S ARE CHANGED, FIRST POST SHOWS WHAT THEY ARE NOW.

Could this be possible: “Convert [Selected] Instruments to Currently Selected”?

Could this be possible: “Convert [Selected] Instruments to Currently Selected”?

I am not too sure if this is possible to get the selection in a pattern. I just check the API docs and could not find anything obvious. I will go and ask in Q+A.

edit: just found this and adding link here as a personal reference.

Renoise.Selectionblock Object

it’s been some days since I first thought such kind of object is necessary, but I preferred to wait for beta time in order to avoid adding stress to stress. I think that a SelectionBlock is needed, in order to let the scripts act on selected area only. The question is: how to effectively describe the block as an object? The simple answer is: by the mean of its upper left and lower right corners. This is surely right, but maybe there is some better way? For example, the object could have iter…

I am not too sure if this is possible to get the selection in a pattern.

It is possible. I do it in NotesRandomizer. The thread you linked is about moving the selection block around. Here’s a a simpler example snippet:

  
  
-- Toggle this variable accordingly  
local constrain_to_selected = true   
  
-- Define iter, Can be any valid iterator, does not matter which one example:  
-- renoise.song().pattern_iterator:lines_in_pattern(renoise.song().selected_pattern_index)  
local iter = nil  
  
for pos,line in iter do  
 for cur_col,note_col in ipairs(line.note_columns) do  
 if  
 (  
 not constrain_to_selected or  
 constrain_to_selected and note_col.is_selected  
 )  
 then  
 -- Do something here  
 end  
 end  
end  
  

The procedure revolves around theconstrain_to_selected boolean.

Thanks again Conner!

New Tool: Convert Instrument Numbers

On Tools page: Tools Page Uploaded to tools page, please note new but similar keybindings and menu entries: Another simple one to bypass an advanced edit operation I do often: e.g. when you want to double a lead: You copy and paste the section you want from one track to the next. Now you want the instrument numbers updated While on the new track, make sure you have your target instrument selected in the renoise instrument box. Press the shortcut, and all the notes in the current “track (…
