Renoise 1.25beta is available in the registered users pages.
The resource files have not changed so you can simply copy the new exe into your old Renoise
folder without downloading a new installer.
Please help us testing by reporting every bug you can find. Do this by either writing a mail to
bugs@renoise.com or here in the forum. Remember : the more bugs are found and fixed now,
the stabler will be the final release !
Suggestions / ideas for the new Midi remotemapper, *LFODevice and other new features are
welcome.
The manual is not yet updated, but will be in a few days. If you have questions about the new
features dont hesitate to ask.
the facts :
-
GUI is now resizable. Setup your favorite full screen resolution in the
Configs/GUI tab or simply resize the window in windowed mode. -
More stable VSTi handling (fixed a big FPU problem)
-
Import of FXB (VST Bank Files)
export of FXB’s and in/export of FXP’s will follow soon -
MIDI Remote Mapper: Assign your external MIDI controllers to any effect slider
in Renoise. In record mode the values get recorded into the automation, else
they simply change the current value of the slider support for Notes/Pitch Bend.
14 bit CCs will follow soon - as this version of the mapper already makes a lot
of fun to play with we didn’t want to disable it for this release. -
Added a “*LFODevice” : Automatic control of any effect parameter via an LFO
-
You can choose the default audio processing buffer size for effects and
instruments in the Configs/Audio tab: Using lower values will allow you
(especially with ASIO) lower audio latencies: Use at least your audio latency/2
as process buffer size when using ASIO to get a more stable and click free
output. A smaller process buffer will produce more CPU overhead, so you should
just try out settings that are the best for your configuration. We recommend the
setting of 128 samples for ASIO and the setting of 512 samples for the Direct
Sound. -
Maximum number of lines per pattern is now 512 instead of 255
-
Added a pulse waveform to the instrument LFOs
-
Finally support for 24 bit desktop color depths
-
MPC style recording feature: When you enable the pre-hear switch in the
instrument box you can play and record samples with the NumPad keys. Default
keyboard shortcut for toggling the pre-hear on/off is “,” on the NumPad -
Renoise sends and receives MMC (MIDI Machine Code) commands now
-
VST Time Info checks the number of ticks and BPM quantization error now
-
Effect chains can now be imported and exported:
Imported by loading them through the browser, exported in the advanced edit tab -
CTRL right click on a note selects the instrument that is being used by the note
-
VST FX parameters bigger than F (maximum parameter number in the pattern that
you can automate) can now be automated via the track automation -
Optimizations for AMD processors (using 3D Now!)
-
VST editor windows: You can now enter values using the keyboard when the
editor window is focused and the new “enable keyboard” checkbox is enabled -
Second parameter for the 0x04 effect (slicer)
04xy x is now the sliced volume (0 = silent, f = full volume),
y is the tick where the slicing will begin -
Tracks which use a “*SendDevice” and have the “mute source” option enabled are
visualized in the scopes now before they are muted. -
After releasing shift when entering notes in chord mode (hold down Left Shift
while entering notes) the song position will advance by Edit Step and jump back
to the note column where you started the chord (simply try it : ) -
Keyboard shortcuts for the message boxes:
‘y’ -> Yes
‘n’ -> No
‘c’ -> Cancel -
Changed/added default keyboard shortcuts:
‘Control + P’ -> Paste block continuously
‘Control + Shift + Left’ - Decrease number of note or effect columns
‘Control + Shift + Right’ - Increase number of note or effect columns
‘Control + Shift + V’ - Toggle visibility of volume column in the current track
‘Control + Shift + P’ - Toggle visibility of panning column in the current track
‘Control + Shift + Insert’ - Insert new row only in current Effect/Note Column
‘Control + Shift + Delete’ - Delete current row only in current Effect/Note Column -
Changed “Note Off” handling for monophonic VSTI-s and MIDI instruments:
C-4 01 … — …
— 01 … D-4 … -> Will glide to D4
E-4 01 … OFF … -> Was gliding in < 1.2 is now not gliding but triggering E-4
-> Note Offs are now always sent before the Note On-s when in the same row!
-
Fix: A note without an instrument number will no longer restore the channel
volume and panning -
Fix: User presets of the instrument and track envelopes are restored properly
now -
Fix: Renoise crashed on some machines when minimizing in full screen mode
and restoring it afterwards again by clicking on the taskbar -
Fix: Rendering to WAV skipped the first line of the first pattern
-
Fix: International characters (i.e. accented vowels) in the XML files
are stored and loaded correctly now. -
Fix: Insert line worked only for lines less or equal than 0x80
-
Fix: The base note is now properly restored when copying a sample into an
empty sample slot -
Fix: Multiple VSTi-s on one tracks wasn’t possible
-
Fix: Expand/Shrink in Advanced Edit works now again
-
Fix: Instrument List wasn’t properly updated after Zap All
-
Fix: Lower ASIO latency (forgot to remove some test code
-
Fix: Some GFX card showing trash when the pattern is bigger than 80 lines
-
Fix: Delay and flanger are no longer saving their status depending on the
current sample rate -> they should sound exactly the same on all sample rates -
Fix: Sometimes Renoise got minimized after closing a VST editor window
-
Fix: Some sliders didn’t responded quickly while moving it (for example
Reverb/Room Size) -
Fix: Pitch bend and CC Messages where recorded wrong
-
Fix : Ghostnotes
known bugs/problems :
- Steinberg Magneto produces distortion
- antialias on fonts is sometimes not shown correctly
very happy…
) I am delighted with this wonderfull program that gets better and better with every new release. Keep up the good work.
