Hi!
Sorry if this idea is not very original.
I’ve been watching Reggie Watts’ shows and have been inspired to try something similar.

Could a tool be designed for Renoise to take care of live recording, instant looped playback, plus effects do you think?

Aha a beardy-man module? sounds like a fun tool…

No reason to re-invent the wheel : Duplex Recorder .recent roundup of sequencer alternatives:
This is another tool made especially for live usage […]
Operation is designed to be extremely simple, and to work across as many devices as possible - how about recording takes while holding a microphone in one hand, and using the other hand to control Recorder wirelessly on a smartphone? Or playing a guitar while using stompbox/pedal-switches to record and loop stuff?
It seems that above all else, the Recorder wants to be practical: it supports sessions - once you make a recording, you can save the song and it’s state will be restored the time it is loaded.
It doesn’t come with any built-in effects, but that’s because you should create your own setup - right?

I had a look through that too, it seems to be exactly what I’m looking for.
Would a microphone being recorded through a track be effected real-time by any inserted FX?

Yeah, if that’s what you want you can choose any track and record the sample using those effects, or you can monitor the recording through a particular track but end up with a dry recording. Look at the recording dialog, the features are all there:
In the Recorder context, it’s not perfect though - if you want to add effects to the signal AND record into multiple tracks, you have to add the same (or perhaps just similar-sounding) effect to all involved tracks.
Or maybe you can live with the recording sounding like one thing while recording? For example, recording a dry signal or effected signal, which end up in a track with a different type of DSP… This could be used creatively, but a bit of a stretch…
Once the Renoise API allows such FX switching in the recording dialog, I will of course update the tool.

This all sounds like lots of fun - thanks very much.
