you’re playing sounds in a track with dsp efx. it sounds real nice. you already have other sounds playing on the track. playback is on.
you want to make a copy of the track cos the dspchain is off the chain, and you really like your new riff thing.
you reach for the CMD-D to duplicate the track.
It duplicates the track.
------------------------///-------------------------------
but while the track has been duplicated, the selected_track_index hasn’t changed to the new clone!
so you can’t just jam, stuff with a track, and then “select-duplicate” after “duplicate current track”.
a replacement which does allow for exactly that, would be real swell.
I don’t know what is the problem here, but i can perfectly script behavior to jump to the track that has been added to the pattern:
--[[============================================================================
main.lua
============================================================================]]--
-- Reload the script whenever this file is saved.
-- Additionally, execute the attached function.
_AUTO_RELOAD_DEBUG = function()
end
-- Read from the manifest.xml file.
class "RenoiseScriptingTool" (renoise.Document.DocumentNode)
function RenoiseScriptingTool:__init()
renoise.Document.DocumentNode.__init(self)
self:add_property("Name", "Untitled Tool")
self:add_property("Id", "Unknown Id")
end
local manifest = RenoiseScriptingTool()
local ok,err = manifest:load_from("manifest.xml")
local tool_name = manifest:property("Name").value
local tool_id = manifest:property("Id").value
local tracktable={}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Main functions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local function testing()
local newtrack = -1
local i = -1
for i = 1, #renoise.song().tracks do
local match = false
for _ = 1, #tracktable do
if renoise.song().tracks[i].name == tracktable[_] then
match = true
break
end
end
if match == false then
newtrack = i
break
end
end
if newtrack ~= -1 then
renoise.song().selected_track_index = newtrack
end
tracktable={}
for _ = 1, #renoise.song().tracks do
tracktable[_] = renoise.song().tracks[_].name
end
end
-- This example function is called from the GUI below.
-- It will return a random string. The GUI function displays
-- that string in a dialog.
local function set_track_notifier()
tracktable={}
for _ = 1, #renoise.song().tracks do
tracktable[_] = renoise.song().tracks[_].name
end
renoise.song().tracks_observable:add_notifier(testing)
end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Menu entries
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
renoise.tool():add_menu_entry {
name = "Main Menu:Tools:"..tool_name.."...",
invoke = set_track_notifier
}
Nopes, you all have to do this using the insert device function and then copy all parameter options from the source-device in the other track.
Afterwards you can use the :copyfrom() function to copy automation.
Well, see what happens with CMD-D in Mixer. You are in Track1, press CMD-D, You are in Track2, which is a duplicate/clone of Track1. With the same TrackDSP. that’s pretty neat.
I’ve taken to just doing duplication on the mixer view, since can’t figure out how to do the duplication in the pattern editor.
