I’ve hooked up a MIDI controller, and played some conventional piano parts. Renoise had a tough time interpreting a lot of what I played; it choked on several notes, misplaced note-offs etc.
I’m wondering if maybe Renoise is best served for other types of music…conventional stuff doesn’t seem so easy to do.
newb here too. i just experienced stuff like this, when playing either fast parts or playing out of time or both. it even has something to do with your bpm/lpb/patternlength setup.
i usually record with enough “space” for renoise to set the notes exactly how i am playing (the wrong parts^^). means at a certain tempo (bpm) i choose 16 lines per beat (for played 1/16th notes) or even 32 lpb (1/32th played) and an insane long pattern length. last one is your choice, i just prefer to record with very long pattern lengthes when recording while playing.
what latency u have on your audio-system? the higher the latency the worse for live-recording. and as toblerpone wrote, quantisation can mess things up too.
^With the delay column enabled in a pattern editor track (‘DLY’ icon underneath the pattern editor), you should be able to reliably record in your keyboard noodling without having to resort to huge lpb/pattern size combo’s.
Make sure the selector next to ‘Q’ in the instrument editor is set to ‘None’ as well.

works well, as long as u can live with some sort of wild looking patterns inside renoise, when playing fast notes (faster than the layouts bpm/lpb setting) or being able to edit it properly. as an oldschool score gimp like me its not so pleasing. it ends up with something which looks more like a chord than a fast arpeggio or scales.
on the other hand the export of that optical “mess” into a midi file, opened in musescore for example, works solid like a rock. another big point on the pile of big points for the renoise team here^^.
so thx for me for that hint too! gave me a good use for recording improvisations the fast way.
