When you stick a NOTE OFF on a track it stops the sample playing dead. There is not decay or release (no envelope is used.
In cubase you can use a different envelope on every piece of audio on the arrange page. You can copy a sample a million times and graphically apply a different envelope to each one…
Is it possible to make a sample smoothly roll off its volume when you use a NOTE OFF, or is it a case of copying the sample/instrument and applying an envelope to it in the normal way (and using mildly annoying trial and error to get the ending just right!)
you could set up a sustain in the evenlope: when there is sustain, the volume level keeps on the same value until a note off is triggered, after which the envelope continues until end.
maybe you missed the sustain button?
also fadeout can be useful: it is a quite barebone feature, which subtracts its value to the wave value (value range is 0…65535) at each tick
Ill check out those features… To be fair, I am not so hot on the really technical aspects of Renoise like this… Thanks for pointing them out; I’ll get on and learn them!
