Scripting To Emulate Direct Access To Octave Field And Mix-Paste Data

New Tool: Direct Access To Octave In Pattern Edit

Fans of Impulse Tracker and Schism tracker will appreciate this. [:walkman:] This tool emulates direct access to the octave column via key bindings. Using a combination of key bindings like alt+0 - alt+9, you can dance down a column and edit the note octaves as you go, also taking into account the current edit step. This is my first scripting project using lua, but there is not much that can go wrong with this as far as bugs go. I didn’t include any checks to see if the next edit step down is…

– Thanks to suva for the function per octave declaration loop

function ProcessOctave(new_octave)

local new_pos = 0
local song = renoise.song()
local editstep = renoise.song().transport.edit_step

new_pos = song.transport.edit_pos
if song.selected_note_column.note_value < 120 then
song.selected_note_column.note_value = song.selected_note_column.note_value % 12 + (12 * new_octave)
end
new_pos.line = new_pos.line + editstep
if new_pos.line <= song.selected_pattern.number_of_lines then
song.transport.edit_pos = new_pos
end

end

for oct=0,9 do
renoise.tool():add_keybinding {
name = "Pattern Editor:Pattern:Set Note to Octave " … oct,
invoke = function() ProcessOctave(oct) end
}
end
