R&B edition!
edit: maybe I’m using incompatible 3d glasses?
lol
Is this release going to be the longest taking one?
It’s yet to exceed the time taken on 1.5. It’d have to take until next April to beat it. Hopefully that’s not the case. If it is, though, I’m sure it will have been for good reason.
Awesome, I didn’t have to wait any for this because I discovered Renoise by coincidence literally a few days after 1.5 came out 
Also, 3.0 is exactly twice 1.5, therefore it will be 2 times as awesome!
Then it might even take twice as long to make!
The dev team is larger now?
That will make it twice as awesome, but not shorten the development cycles (as it seems) 
Today I saw a surreal dream that there were big celebrations going on in my small town. There were people cheering and posters of Taktik everywhere and Renoise 3.0 logos drawn on the streets 
I started running home to check the backstage and then I woke up. The first thing I did after that was checking the forums for the big announcement… Still nothing This was like the third or fourth time I’ve dreamed of Renoise 3.0 in my sleep this year.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU JUST MADE MY DAY !!!
Freakin nice one !!
Everyone commenting in this topic is “very patient” and “very understanding” and adding hilarious replies… But to be honest… I’m not really amused the new release date is gonna be “just a big surprise”
I bought this software. I paid for a 2-8 till 3.8 Renoise product. Is it fair to let me wait till 2024 ?
to be precise, you paid for Renoise 2.8 and, as a bonus, you will get free updates until 3.8, when they are ready.
the time for Renoise 3 will come, be sure.
just keep having a laugh with us on this thread and one day you will find good news.
Haha, nah, it’s unfair. But. You bought the license (not the software). You agreed shelling out money for that licensing deal, and if you look at it from the bright side, if they take until 2024 to have version 3.9 or higher rolling out (ie the first version you can’t freely download anymore on the virtue of you shelling out those $60 in 1993, yes that’s exaggerated), you’d have free updates for 31 years!!! What other company does that?
I agree that it’s undemocratic and stuff. And we the people need friggin proper drum triggering for native renoise sampler instruments. And some other stuff, like MIDI data goin in and out of VSTs, scriptable MIDI fx, etc, and we can only hopelessly watch until they come out the cave with a shiny baby Simba and see what he’s made of. And then not pay attention so the mean hyena people charge at the heavy beasts so they trample and murda renoise 2.8.
But look at the other side, what if everybody had a say in what was gonna be in the new shiny v3? Look at the tools page. How would you like your renoise when it would come with every single tool in there? It’s too much, probably.
Myself, I figure I’d really feel worse if I knew all the features in advance that I’m gonna have, but not know the release date.
nopez.
Yes, please name the next version “Renoise 4.0” instead of “Renoise 3.0”. I don’t wanna have to wait for that long until 4.0 is released.
Seriously? Read what you pasted.
Definition of license: A permit from an authority to use something.
You purchased Renoise (Ie. something) and the license grants you authority to use it until 3.9
You didn’t pay for 3.9, which doesn’t exist.
EDIT: But yes, I agree it’s frustrating and that this thread is a cruel joke.
As others have already mentioned in many forum threads before, a license is just the right to use the current version of the software. You never actually own the software itself. I think it’s quite unfair to demand that the developers should deliver anything at all in regard to future updates. If I purchase a license that’s valid for 2.x-3.x then that’s just for convience and for supporting the project.
I think there is a good reason why the Renoise developers prefer to keep any information, no matter what, about work-in-progress or planned features for themselves.
Let’s just face it: Too many Renoise users are not able to handle such information properly. Suppose taktik dropped a little cheer-up teaser in the form of a video or picture or some textual hint. What would most likely happen is that too many users would make up their own conclusions and then provide feedback based on their own frustrations and/or miscalculations when the facts were out in the open.
But to be completely fair, the Renoise licensing model seems to stir up too many emotions and entitlement claims for too many people. Maybe a licensing model like Image-Line’s for FL Studio would actually work better for a software like Renoise (you purchase a life-time license and then you’re just buying and unlocking features and/or add-ons within the program itself).
