I might need a dancing sprite. For those times when I’m listening to an endless(sucky) loop and staring at my screen
Perhaps one can code it as an independent standalone app, that gets input and triggers from a virtual midi bus, that renoise or other daw sends notes and ccs to.
I just wasted 20 minutes attempting to use the broken modern internet to find a video of that famous MOD with the dancing figure encoded into the patterns so that i could say ‘let’s do this but with a dancing pianotroll’. Now this is just a meta-post about trying to make a frivolous post.
Closest i got was this:
That was something! FL Chan can retire.
I wonder if people go to FL and Ableton forums to beg for tracker workflow to be implemented.
I have previously suggested this:
Not sure how to embed stuff from Twitter, but this?

That’s not the one i had in mind, it was on Milky/FT2, but it’s similar.
The track i had in mind was more of a trance/EDM style beat.
They do, just hang around in the forums and you’ll find more than one person suggesting a tracker view.
How is that working out for them?
You can find posts in the FL Studio and Ableton Live forums with people requesting a tracker mode or .xm .mod compatibility. There are posts from late 2000s if you Google it, but also newer ones, from 2020 onwards.
The children yearn for trackers.
FL Studio has plans for a tracker view on their roadmap, the Bitwig forum has an active request with upvotes, idk about Live people. People from these communities are much more open and interested in workflow and feature upgrades. The only place where I see people actually arguing in favor of not having upgrades is here.
the kids are alright
Where do you get that from?The only thing i really see anyone against on these forums is a piano roll.
There is threads full of feature requests from users on here.A lot of features get implemented over the years.
Well, let’s hope that by 2055 Renoise implements my suggestions! I’m also in the queue (it’s not piano roll I swear).
What suggestion have you made that people don’t like?
Me? None (I think). People are allowed to like or disliked suggestions, the real problem here seems to be people being gaslighted when they decide to express their experiences with Renoise and when they suggest feature updates or performance fixes. It’s not uncommon to see someone complain about performance issues followed by replies trying to disregard their experience, it happened to me, it happened with friends… it’s even an internal joke among my group of fellas. This honestly helps no one (quite the opposite) and serves only to feed one’s ego. As I said before, this happens to some extent in every forum (gatekeepers are everywhere) but this one really stands out.
I guess some ppl have had a very traumatic experience with piano rolls I’m just joking btw.
If I had to say my top realistic feature request though, it would be MORE keyboard shortcut options. I know I’m being greedy though
Any examples?
Following the spirit of this thread (plans for renoise), my only two big requests are more granular parameters in the sampler and performance fixes, especially related to VST3.
