And I have to disagree with you
First of all, there is this bug:https://forum.renoise.com/t/new-note-columns-created-when-recording-one-shot-samples/41722
Second, even if you manage to record everything into the pattern editor and it sounds exactly the way it did when you recorded it (I never managed to do that with more complex things, e.g. an actual drum part played with my V-drums), then the notes are all over the place! For drums, for instance, the fist kick note might be in column 1, the second in column 4, the third in column 2, then next in column 1 again, and so on and so forth. The same with all the other notes. In a piano roll, if I look for a C-4 amongst all other recorded notes, there is exactly once place (row) where they can be. In Renoise, for every single note, there are 12 potential places they can be. In a piano roll, I look at the pattern, and I have a good idea what is going on. In Renoise, I need to study the pattern for several minutes to figure out what is going on.
So, yes, Renoise is great for composing/programming notes, but NOT for live recording them. And I don’t see why the latter shouldn’t be improved.
Of course, everything can be improved,evenlive recording with Renoise.Unfortunately we can not have a piano roll on each track,equal to FL Studio (132 notes).And frankly, I prefer Renoise not include a piano roll. I prefer the virtual piano can be placed beneath the pattern editor,as a visual aidand also as a tool for editing with the mouse (click in virtual piano and recorded in the pattern,even in the live recording).
You canplay each line separately, and know exactly what happens immediately, isolating each track.In the new version 3.1, each track will accept up to 12 columns (12 notes, 1 octave)Yes, there is no relationship between the note and the column.
The only thing I can think of is to allocate 9 tracks each associated one octave (would be ten octaves, x12 notes each octave, 120 notes).When recording every note was in place.But this would be a mess for me.
Another idea would be for each note, regardless of the eighth, always write in a column.Then you need to overlay notes.A scheme:
_____________________________________________ TRACK 01 ____ (120 notes, 10 octaves) ____________________________
| NOTE 01 |NOTE 02 |NOTE 03 |NOTE 04 |NOTE 05 |NOTE 06 |NOTE 07 |NOTE 08 |NOTE 09 |NOTE 10 |NOTE 11 |NOTE 12 |
| C-0 | C#0 | D-0 | D#0 | E-0 | F-0 | F#0 | G-0 | G#0 | A-0 | A#0 | B-0 |
| C-1 | C#1 | D-1 | D#1 | E-1 | F-1 | F#1 | G-1 | G#1 | A-1 | A#1 | B-1 |
… …
… …
| C-8 | C#8 | D-8 | D#8 | E-8 | F-8 | F#8 | G-8 | G#8 | A-8 | A#8 | B-8 |
| C-9 | C#9 | D-9 | D#9 | E-9 | F-9 | F#9 | G-9 | G#9 | A-9 | A#9 | B-9 |
_____________________________________________ TRACK 01 ____ (120 notes, 10 octaves) ____________________________

Perhaps there may be another button to activate the tracking function.
To play live with a MIDI keyboard,each note is written in the corresponding column.The problem would overlapping notes (note OFF): eg C-4 with C-6, or F3 with F-4,in each column…
I really like this idea!So I think that has no felt a pianoroll, but something like this (track automatically organizes the notes, no the octaves).
Apart, only this form of liverecording will allow each track to also use an octave (you would play only an octave at a time).
Someone has talked to taktik or dblue about this theme?If this were possible, it would be great!Everything can be improved in this life! :lol:
Does this idea you like?

Perhaps this idea should be suggestions forum…but overlapping notes will be a problem (Note OFF).
HopefullyRenoiseevolve into this idea, and not adding a pianoroll.
