***** What’s new? *****

A more comprehensive list of what’s new will be published
when the first alpha release arrives. But let me give you
some highlights:

OSX version:
Renoise can finally be enjoyed on the Mac platform as
well.

GUI improvements:
Renoise has had a complete makeover, and is both easier
to use and easier on the eye than ever before. Context
menus, drag and drop and tooltips are important parts of
improving the user experience. The interface is cleaner
and easier to understand, and at the same time has many
new details that experienced users will enjoy.

Feature improvements:
But Renoise has had important improvements not only in
the GUI-departement. Automation following, easier and
more powerful editing of automation, a larger and more
functional sequencer, continuous editing of following
patterns, more rendering options (only for registered
users) including rendering a selection to an instrument,
multitimbral VSTi support, MIDI file import, undo in the
sampleeditor, two new built in effects, to mention some
of the improvements. To see the full detailed list, stay
put for the first alpha release!

***** Release schedule *****

Alpha version for registered users

We have now set a date for the release of Renoise 1.5
Alpha. The date is Sunday 1st of August 2004, in about one
week from the date of this writing. The release will be
available for both Mac and PC, and only for registered
users of Renoise.

Public Beta versions

As soon as we feel Renoise 1.5 is stable enough, we will
make a public beta release to get it tested by wider user
base, including unregistered users. The exact timing of
all releases after the first alpha depends on the amount
of fixes we need to do, and the amount and quality of the
feedback we get from all of you.

***** Crossplatform Pricing *****

The pricing of Renoise 1.5 will change from previous
versions. The most important reason is that Renoise has
grown to be a more mature product, and that we now support
two different platforms. The new price is 50 Euro, and the
licence allows you to use Renoise on both Mac or PC as you
choose. As before, the licence lasts from the version 1.x
that you register to version 2.x, so already registered
users do of course not need to upgrade. If you decide to
switch platform, there’s no extra cost for Renoise.

We sincerely hope you all will be satisfied with the
results of our work since the release of Renoise 1.281,
resulting in what we believe is the best tracker to date.

On behalf of the Renoise Team,
Martin Alnæs
Developer
