Hi. I’m thinking of getting a controller to use with renoise. I don’t think I have any use for a piano keyboard type controller because I generally work out melodies by trial and error inputting one note at a time with the computer keyboard.
However, I would like to have more control over faders, knobs etc. with that in mind I’m thinking of getting one of these: A novation nocturn- cheap and it looks pretty flash. Has anyone had any experience of using one of these with renoise?
“Note that we’re running Renoise here – although sequencer mixer control is not supported by this particular application, controlling plug-ins in it is no problem whatsoever.”
so basically this would be no good to control any of the native effects, mixers etc in renoise?
It’s quite possible to assign anything in the DSP chain to a MIDI controller. But what’s special about the nocturn is that it can remember the settings for a given plugin, and recall that state when you want - you don’t have to remap the controls once done.
I pre-ordered my Nocturn controller back in April, and so far it’s been delayed for almost two months…so have anybody gotten theirs yet? I live in Denmark, maybe supplies are low for us continental dwellers?
Also, I wus thinkin…if the automap technology can pull off that trick it does by creating “virtual” copies of plugins, perhaps it was possible to create a xrns script that remapped normal plugins to the corresponding automap version? That would be a major timesaver…
I just bought the remote SL 25, which uses automap as well. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten it to work, as the automap wrapped vsts aren’t showing up. I can’t even get the standard templates to work because my vsts don’t remember the midi CC #'s I assign them.
