Use ctrl key to set a loop range. Use shift key to move it. Double click to remove it. Renoise have several internal loop functions. Sequencer loop, Pattern Loop, Block loop and custom loop (inside a pattern from line x to line y). The custom loop function is used, but sometimes Renoise interpret it as block loop. Can be sometimes confusing, when you switch to a different pattern. Be ware of this.
Open the plugin editor of the current instrument or midi out target
There is a new button, where you can open the editor of plugin directly inside the piano roll. When the ctrl key is holded and your current instrument is a midi plugin, it will open the midi out target.
Full changelog:
new: add possibility to set loop range via mouse on timeline bar
new: set editor cursor pos via timeline with mouse
new: add edit instrument settings button
new: workaround for stuck notes in note preview
changed: ctrl+space will now disable follow player
changed: allow note labels without octave
changed: add panic to stop button, when song is not playing
fix: losing Q effect, when change note size
fix: swapped horizontal and vertical grid lines settings (you need to change the settings for your taste again)
Iām sorry for taking so long to reply to this, I moved house.
I would imagine the best route to follow would be to follow what Renoise does on a Mac, i.e. if there is an equivalent shortcut in Renoise itself which switches Ctrl for Cmd, also switch that in the piano roll.
Usually for other software, shortcuts which are Ctrl on Windows are Cmd on Mac.
Option and Alt are essentially the same key.
Iām not sure of the extent Renoise switches shortcuts to be more āMac-likeā as I havenāt used Windows in so long!
In the Renoise manual, they simply say āMac users: Replace āControlā with āCommandā and āAltā with āOptionā belowā so Iām guessing they donāt go to any great length to follow Mac conventions. This alone would stop my fingers tripping over themselves though
I really appreciate you taking the time to look at this!
For me without that checked, ctrl + c is copy and ctrl + v is paste.
Usually on a mac, cmd + c is copy and cmd + v is paste.
There isnāt normally much of a difference on a Mac about what Alt/Option does, but one of the common Mac shortcuts is alt+drag = drag a copy, which you have nailed!
However with your setting checked, ctrl is still used for most shortcuts instead of CMD.
Does that make sense? Itās so weird thinking about what these keys do, I usually use them automatically!
Thanks again just even for listening and caring your plugin is so cool and is luring me away from Ableton back to the tracker world.
Is there the ability to highlight playing notes when i play single notes with Enter key? I try this now and i see no highlighting? Maybe that i miss some configuration step too.
i use Version 3.8
Over play button Notes are highlighted correct. But not over editplay with Enter Key nor over the new Cursor shifting playmode (By the way i fucking fucking love this function )
for your help, the option āuse track Color forā is set to ānothingā in my setup.
Yesterday i get aware of an intermitting bug while i delete notes during playback.in editmode. (this one where you set/delete notes by a signleclick)
if i had clicked on a Note to delete, it deletes the note right, but additionally it deletes an other note that was at same time and note lenght only on another pitch. Hope you understand what i mean.
I had it a few times over my yesterday working session. The Bug was not standing but i had have it 3 or 4 Times over the yesterday session. For me it looks like a sideeffect when you often switch editmodus and add/delete notes while playback. I will keep on watching this and will try to reproduce this over next weeks to give you help information for error fixing. (I do music only on weekend).
i would recommended using āstate maschineā pattern for handling such mode switchings in generally to minimized side effects in code.
An other important thing may be to clear the fireed Events and/or variables on EditMode switching.
For instance wenn the mode is switched between a double click on a note. (from noteselection mode to noteset mode for instance) and prevent modeswitching as long the code is in a running eventcycle to add/delete note. this can be easely do with a variable or look flag.
I think your edit mode is pen mode, right? Because āedit modeā of Renoise is not supported. Thatās the reason why the piano roll always switch the edit mode off. If you found a way to easily replicate it, it would be nice.
yes right i meaned the pen mode, but i have used selection mode too. i use mostly selection mode with shiftcopy then starting Renoise playback and then i switched to penmode and set notes/delete notes. That was my workflow. I reopened the pianoroll a few times too.
Iām not sure if youāve nailed it yet. Maybe this will help:
Win ā Mac
Ctrl + C ā Cmd + C
Ctrl + V ā Cmd + V
Ctrl + Z ā Cmd + Z
And so on.
Alt on windows is Option on a Mac. They are basically the same key so I donāt think you need to change anything at all with Alt or Option.
Ctrl on Windows is the same as Ctrl on a Mac. This is exactly the same key, but Mac does not use it for the common editing shortcuts, instead Mac uses Cmd for those.
To confuse things, if you plug a Mac keyboard into a PC, when you press Cmd, Windows sees it as the Windows key. This is because both platforms essentially already have Ctrl and Alt/Option. On Linux this third key (Cmd or Win) is sometimes referred to as āSuperā.
I would highly recommend seeing if you could install Renoise on a friendās Mac to try out your plugin, or maybe the Renoise team could donate some old hardware. I personally think you are well on your way to making this plugin an essential part of Renoise.
I can only do swap ctrl / alt key or do completly different shortcuts for mac. Did you reload the last version from github? I made a change, because there was something missing. It should work now, at least the swap.
i try to reproduce this bespoken behaviour. It seems to be more a Sideeffect. I was able to reproduce it a few times in different sessions, but only when i have Pionoroll open and same time switching to the trackerchannel and use the āEnterā key for Step mode in it. After this i get the described double Note delete effect on some Notepairs. But not on all Notepairs. Can you recommend simple liteweight Videocapture Programm to screenrecording Renoise Application Window? At best some portable Version.
your plugin is so cool and is luring me away from Ableton back to the tracker world.
