Hi, longtime Renoise user here, looking for help with a pretty simple question.
I’m looking to build a small Raspberry Pi machine, solely to run Renoise as an external sequencer to send program changes to my Keystep Pro. This would be much cheaper and easier for me than purchasing and learning how to use another external sequencer. It needs to be small enough to fit on my synth board, so my laptop won’t work for this, and I’m planning to purchase a very small touchscreen monitor for the Raspberry Pi.
My (latest) concern is screen resolution. The devices that seem to best fit my needs have pretty low resolution, 800x480. Elsewhere on the Renoise website, the screen resolution requirements are listed for Linux as: “min 1024x768 pixels”.
Am I correct in understanding that Renoise will not even boot on a Linux device with resolution lower than 1024x768?
Or, will it boot up and run, but I will be unable to see the full GUI at any given time? Just being able to boot and run would meet my needs as I will have no need to see the entire GUI on the Raspberry Pi.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I appreciate any help with this or with other issues I could run into with this project. Pete
