Timecode, Or A More Precise Clock.

At the moment, I’ve been using renoise a lot for making soundtracks to little animations, but working at any tempo that isn’t a multiple of sixty makes this hard.
The renoise clock just isn’t precise enough, not going lower than a second.

It would be nice if it could be made a lot more precise or if renoise could have an effect device that did Timecode or something similar.

Shouldn’t be too hard to make, right? and i know there are a few people on here that use renoise for similar purposes.

If anyone has any tips for doing this kinda stuff in renoise, let me know!

The latest beta supports decimal bpm values.
And why should it be a multiple of sixty?
You can use a command to stop the songplay at any line.

sorry, maybe I was unclear, I mean the clock in the top right hand corner.

Basically, say I’ve made a track, and i want to know exactly when the kick drum appears because I want to make that kick synchronize with a certain frame of the video.
I need to know when to the 25th of a second, 1/25th of a second being one frame (25 frames per second being the standard.)

A multiple of sixty is easier because there are sixty seconds in a minute, hence with lpb 4, i know that every line is a quarter of a second.

I realize this is maybe pretty specific to the way I use renoise, but i think it’d also be helpful for people using renoise for other things, such as synching with external sound files.

Yes, that would be nice! I don’t write soundtracks, but as a kid I loved watching the 100th seconds on a stopwatch, I just have a fetish for high frame rates I guess. So 5 stars from me :lol:

Seriously, it doesn’t hurt if you don’t need it (if the fractions of a second would be displayed in a lighter color or a slightly smaller font, that is), and it’s required if you do.

Even better would be if someone wrote a VST that would play divx or .mov :P
