Repeater is cool or nah?

I love when I find myself getting re-obsessed with renoise again

what do you all think about the repeater tool.
I love to use it, use it a lot all the time, but asking – when you hear it in a track do you roll your eyes and say ah this again, or do you find yourself unable to stop yourself from screaming PUT SOME FLANGE ON IT BROTHA

just wondering

I like it but the way it is normally used is old, cliche, uninteresting, gimmicky, etc. It is usually used as a “hey look at me!” effect rather than something integrated in the composition or sound design.

I find that there are much better VST plugins which also will lead to more creativy and much better sounding results.

This is my concern, I love to use it but feels very junior at the same time… fun is fun, wth, it’s just me alone in my house.
lately I’ve been using it to capture bits of looped patterns that have random generated notes and rhythms… and different repeaters on all the tracks so I can trigger them to capture and release at different times.

it’s a lot of fun to jam this way and sounds really musical.
anyhow, long live the trackers

cool, I’ll poke around.
I do love to use all stock, tho, tbr
thanks!

USE IT!!! Follow the fun and what feels right.

YES!!!

I should sign off by saying : I LOVE THE REPEATER TOOL and I put it on every track and pound on my livid ohm64 all day triggering it, it rules, hail renoise

I almost never use it, but I think it’d be childish to say it’s “uncool” just because it can be used uncreatively.

The old Stutter effect was pretty cool though. I should probably give that one another look. See: Native DSP Context Menu | Renoise

Fukkin love me some repeater. I’ve created some autorepeater doofers that I slap on a lot of my generative xrnis for rhythmic interest. I also like to use repeaters on my synth bus, and sometimes on my rhythm section bus for midi mapped live performance glitching.

yeah, the old stutter effect, but i forget to use it because i have to find it every time to use it. also the old ring mod was really cool with hz, but it keeps “breaking” (for me that is) when i modulate it with lfo’s.
it’s would be really nice with some new effects like digital delay (not pitch shifting when modulated) and many other effects, glitchy, granular, stutter effects or an environment where you could build some yourself not having to use code and program tools, but more in a graphic programming kind of way. i know the are options from other developers to use with renoise, but, it’s just not the same. but, i guess all this is for another thread

I like it. It’s really handy for things like instrument plugins and MIDI instruments as well as it being a good sound design tool for parts of the song that involve Renoise’s sampler but have lingering effects added to a send track routed to it like Reverb or Delay for a more interesting and textured sound.

just like automated breakbeat cutters and rearrangers the key is to make it sound completely transparent. Causing others like you to start honing their ingenuity, and once they finally figure it out, and post about their discovery (hopefully) It could be a much more eloquent method to divining that which isnt usually explained, or anywhere near self-explanatory.

Essentially showing others to use their brains in a new way. Like what Renoise in the Royal sense (the tracker, the users, the team, the sharing, the community) did with me.

yea i use it sometimes, but to be honest, it’s easier to just put the the drum sound really close together because it gives you more control over the sound.
