Radium - a better(?) tracker...

It was a pleasure, mate. :wink:
I’m not 100% satisfied with the result (you know the reason), but it’s good and now that I know the settings it will be better in future if you need another shirt. When you wish obnoxious colors things can happen. So it took exactly 14 days until the shipment has arrived. Good to know. I think from now on it will take a lot longer within the next 4 weeks during christmas business. It seems the selected size fits pretty well?

Yes, pretty well, although I think I could have gone a size smaller and it would have been a bit better fit. But, all things considered, baggy > tight :+1:

Just wash it hot :hotsprings:

I already see two things there i have suggested as Renoise features in the past. The seemless sequence automation and optional wave representation vertically across the tracks.

Looks neat. Looks weird (in a good way). Don’t think Id ever want it as a replacement for Renoise but def looks fun to use as something different now and then.

Did you ever use it?

You could optionally put waveforms or piano roll in the background directly in the automation editor of Renoise. It would not change the overall appearance, but would still add this visual functionality.

Someone made a Radium tutorial

Interesting project but I can’t understand how make synth if I wants used native effects and generators?

Good point, I think that’s not possible. But there is Faust and PD implementation

I like the smooth jump-less scroll/play position bar!

  • Smooth, yes!.
  • Zooming and Line-Zoom, perfect!
  • Visual velocity/sample volume, very nice!
  • note/sample effects columns are hidden, took some time to figure out…
    Will take time to get used to the user interface, but it actually seems powerful.

Maybe I’ll give it a try tomorrow. There were some improvements in the past. Anyone using Radium in Linux?

You can have that with the tool Simple Pianoroll
That said. The resolution is not very great. You can only visualise down to C8 at 4LPB

I love the vertical graphic automation inside the pattern. It’s amazing. Wish there was a HUGE visual revamp for Radium, though. It looks… odd.

I played with it today and it crashed with only samples loaded.

There is some kind of dialectic unavoidable hammer of truth that demands us to admit that FL Studio piano-roll is the piano-roll that is the closest piano roll to the absolute piano-roll - the Roll of Jahve!

Yeah… Fruity has been good since version 7. In this day-age there.s little need for a tracker readout as it was the most efficient way to display when computers were very grim & would barely even boot up. A tracker is just a step recorder with digital readout. A piano roller with decent step record is same with graphical readout. Machines have been able to handle piano rollers for decades now…

Tried Radium years ago, didn’t click though I appreciate the ‘tune of a different drummer’. I prefer vertical curve lanes that are separate but can be aligned close to the tracker via horizontal scrollbars like in Dreamstation II-

What is the DAW in the screenshot? Or is it a sequencer type of plugin?
