A couple inexpensive plugins I’ve been enjoying recently are:

Just bought it recently. Incredible piece of software.
Hello there! Could you please someone help me out with DrumComputer? It would be great! 
I recently downloaded DrumComputer from Sugarbytes.
I have the following issues:
1., Let’s say I have a song with 20 bpm.
After initiating DrumComputer, the bpm changes to 45 and could not be changed in Renoise. (For me) Is there a way to adjust the bpm of the whole song somehow besides using DrumComputer?
2., After creating a drum sequence I cannot edit the notes on the edit screen with the typical Renoise attitude, only by DrumComputer. Are there any ways to edit the notes after creating and dragging the drum sequence into the Edit panel?
3., If I create a drum sequence and I drag into the Edit panel, it could create up to 16 patterns instead of creating 1 or two patterns. Can I decide the number of patterns which would be created with D C ?
If you have an idea for any of the aforementioned issues to solve I would be very grateful!
Best!
I’ve used their modules for Ableton, which are great. I don’t use Live anymore and wish they would make a Linux VST of Tela.
Abx3 for the Acid heads, also for Linux, has some minor quirks with Renoise (try the demo) but works well overall. Best one I’ve found for Linux and currently on sale.
In the last years 10 years I used almost only Bazille when it comes to commercial synths. Of course I had tons of synths tested out since the 90s but ended using only very few. I think Renoise native stuff is enough for everything. I still do my k&b with Bazille. I liked logic Sculpture a lot but have not used it for years. I might buy Logic for it again at some point. But I feel pretty good to use as little as possible. Renoise is now my favourite DAW. I hardly use anything else. I was a long time Cubase user. From Atari times when it come to cubase ^^
What kind of music do you make? Bazille seems like an interesting choice for a main synth.
My first years was in Hardcore hip hop we back than called it psycore to some it was called britcore ^^ this music does not exist anymore. It has nothing in common with the hip hopf of today. For the last decades I produce mostly psytrance. From time other elecronic music like dub or jungle or some ambient but my mind is in psytrace mostly. Sounds for the witches. I am also an expert of not finishing any tunes and being almost never satisfied.
We’d produced 2 tracks on an amiga 2000 with a protracker in 1993 on this sampler from the link below. The bands name was Immortal Suicide. Old times.

You and me both.
I actually managed to track down one of the songs on an obscure corner of the internet. Nice beats. As a 90s hip hop head, this is quite different from what I’m used to!
Cool bit of history man, thanks for sharing.
I really love MiniMetes. For me its one of the best analyzer plugins. The new 1.0 added a ton of new features.
See here: https://minimeters.app/
I can’t function without RollingSampler.
But you can’t drag drop ( from the waveform view ) into renoise sampler-instrument box from ?
I’m using Rolling sampler as standalone app on Linux desktop.
No problem to drag selection from RS to Renoise sample view.
Yeah, MiniMeters 1.0 has that too. I can grab audio from Renoise or the desktop audio and just drag it into Renoise as a sample. Works totally fine.
I use a lot Kick 3 and don’t see it here so…

Kick 3 is fantastic — the addition of chromatic pitching makes jungle basslines a breeze. Big fan.
Here are some of my favorites:
FabFilter suite — These are my desert island plugs. I own Pro-Q, Pro-L, Pro-C, Pro-MB, Timeless, Saturn, and Volcano. All of them are either the best or among the best in-class, and they share a common effective design language that clicks with me.
Stepic — a superb modulatable step sequencer which I’m surprised doesn’t get more attention. Many of its features remind me of the fabled Cirklon, which I owned for a while. Works like a charm in Renoise, just route an instance’s MIDI directly to the target instrument in the plugin editor panel.
Serum 2 — I never used V1 but have decided to give V2 a shot. Among the best synth GUIs I’ve used. Loving the sampler capability and granular options, feels a bit like Omnisphere-lite. Has become my go-to recently, replacing Zebra 2 and Hive since they both have some UI weirdness for me in Renoise.
Bit of an old thread, but I will go. Tone2 Icarus, Elektra, and Gladiator are faves. I also use Waldorf Largo quite a bit because it has it’s own unique character. I LOVE U-He Zebra but it does my head in at times. All of the aforemention are REALLY good on the CPU. As well as some of my old purchases like Microtonic and Geist as far as drum machine go. Low CPU usage is a prerequisite for me. Which is why I use Renoise as well. Renoise changed the way I make music. Can’t even look at another DAW the same way these days….lol
