It would be great to have an option in the PREFERENCE menu to switch from hexadecimal to decimal.
I’m not sure I understand why Renoise still uses the hexadecimal (apart from traditon) and to be honest, even if I completely skipped the part about hexadecimals in the manual, I can still find my way around Renoise quite easily, but still…
I’m afraid this post might be considered “trolling”…
Because you haven’t learned it yet is all. Most of the time, entering a value in hex means just having to enter one digit instead of two when using decimal.
Also the pattern effect entry would have to be expanded to 6 positions wide, compared to the current 4, due to effects that use two separate values of 0-16 each rather than one of 0-255.
Hex makes much more sense anyway. Easier to do halves, quarters, eighths and sixteenths with just entering one digit, easier to remember than going “What is an eighth of 256?” An either of 16 is 2, so it’s 20 (rather than 32.)
