Renoise is great. I just hope it will continue it’s development for the oncoming years.
And if it would ever stop development, I would like to challenge Tactik & co to promise to make it open source
in such scenario.
The kick-ass extendability the open xrns supports also means that I might whip up my own pattern arranger application within a few weeks. And anyone can start to make such applications.
Props!
Well, open source will probably not happen, but if you can do the pattern arranger I would first want to see results if you say you can do this within a few weeks.
That’s me challenging you.
i second that
cheers
Well, I said open source IF things would stop in development and thus no income being generated any more.
Just like the roots of Renoise themselves were…
But yes, I shall show you an external program (not something you can do within Renoise) pattern arranger that will basically allow you to open up a .xrns file, and then re-arrange the patterns. Given that it is expressed in the XML which I’m sure it is.
Will be written in C#, using .net 2.0
Features for 0.1:
Opens a file, allows you to re-arrange the order of patterns and to increase/decrease the length of a pattern by multiplier or dividers of 2. Most basics of gui.
0.5: Alternative arrangement support, generate random arrangements, ?
Will do once I have something to show. I know this isn’t the appropriate place, but one has to respond to challenges.
the best thing about renoise is you can have actuall “fun” while creating a tune, no hassle, it’s all layed out for you!
its true. renoise is amazing! a pleasure to use 
Renoise is awesome 
new user here…i’m not sure if i’ll be able to use anything else now that i’m getting used to the Renoise way 
intutitive, fast and most of all, fun!
A f*$&ing joy.
without renoise, there would be no decent techno music
Not true Happy Milkshake Man.
Nice sentiment though/

Whatever happened with this pattern arranger application
Well, I’ve just recently quit my job, sold my car, driven across Iceland, worked in one contract programming job and I am moving to Denmark, so time has been of limited supply.
I’ve got the basics up tho in VS2005, will be fun when I can finish it.
However, the features like Merge Patterns and Split Patterns seem to be about to be implemented in Renoise itself, so it’s questionable if my time will be well spent. I’m still going to rise up to the challenge tho.
Weren’t iceland & denmark enemies in the past or something?? I remember an icelandic mate hating the Danish for some vague reason…but whatever
Will be interesting to see what you come up with application wise!
now there’s a handfull of renoise vids on youtube, no doubt there’l be a few 1000 waiting to get their hands on this amazing software! the community GROWS!!! and will keep growing and never stop
