Absolutely, and it’s really nice to see the enthusiam of all those projects. But at the same time, it seems to me loss of energy, not focussing on an actual tracker daw which can compete with modern daws. People should work together. A pity that Renoise is closed source completely.
I image some “chipset” plugin for Renoise instead, so you could install SID- or AY-emulation natively or so, using the same track commands as usual. Maybe that would be even possible with VST3- or CLAP-plugins, if MPE and per-voice modulation was supported. Such stuff, like joining retro architecture with the latest design patterns.
Renoise has long needed its own modular engine, so that everyone could assemble their own synthesizers. And at the same time a more adapted API for creating more experimental variations of waveforms. In general, we will see in the future what the Renoise team considered a priority in the next release and crossed our fingers.
Personally, I don’t expect the Renoise team to embark on something that can be accomplished with Plugin, and I don’t want the resources of a small team like Renoise devoted to something like that.
I have faith in the Renoise team. I trust the Renoise team because I feel they have been basically doing the right thing (and more importantly, not doing the wrong thing) so far.
Calling Renoise a DAW is one magic word, but the reality of them is that the concept is “a rich tracker that can also use plug-ins” and I’m basically perfectly fine with that.
I imagine that a large amount of API additions at lower layers, such as REAPER, would be good to go more in that outsourcing direction in the future, as third-party developers would work for free to create higher layer API groups and other large groups of features I imagine it will be good to go more in that direction in the future.
At the very least, we can see the following moves that will make RenoiseTools development more convenient. Personally I feel it is a perfectly valid strategy.
this is a different principle, a standard vst instrument and an instrument made with meta devices will be very different, plus you can control each node and create quite serious interactions within your timbre. devote more time to this and you may well discover renoise from a completely different side and see a lot of advantages and a different train of thought.

Arguru will be greatly missed, deadmau5 made a song for him and I didn’t catch it was an eulogy until I heard about him and his tragedy, he did great things in this world like contribute to this amazing software.
I’ve seen some screenshots of Noisetrekker and I just noticed the “developer comments” on the bottom lol
lol please no.
…i hate that you’re probably correct, but it will be for all the people who think trackers are too hard to learn so they can say they use trackers too
“ArGuru: I hate Cubase…” and “TakTik: Logic is cool…”.
Yes, I feel the same about Cubase, but I cannot agree what another TakTik said about Logic. Anyway…
