Have been thinking about this for a while, what I really wish for the most is something I could use in every single song. It is independent tracks/blocks that can be reused in a new pattern sequence matrix.
[…]
the main issue here is to change all the pattern copies one keep making throughout a song process.
I rarely use them, but they are awfully helpful when you do need them. A nice tool (which I think should be a native feature btw.) is joule’s AliasIdenticalTracks. It helps me to pinpoint places in a song that are identical if/when I need to do some global edit. Most often, I then turn them back into normal slots to avoid accidental edits…
Contrary to what you might expect, I find that it demonstrates some of the shortcomings of smooth scrolling.
If you take the fiddle and make the tempo really slow, something like this, I’d much prefer the line-by-line updates as show the tempo (a visual metronome?).
On the other hand, you could speed things up to breakcore and you would get this. Again, I prefer the line-by-line updates - when things are going that fast, smooth scrolling just becomes visual noise.
To me, it seems that smooth scrolling is only beneficial in a medium sort of tempo (say, LPB4 - 8).

Really?

In this case, both look pretty identical to me.

Isn’t that arguably the most commonly used situation?
I am really grrrr here, but who needs nowadays a static repeating functionality of a track? Static music is boring. Instead, where is the horizontal alias ? For making layered sounds in no time! I miss this.

Do you have a topic about this somewhere? I want to add “horizontal aliases” to the list of feature suggestions.
That said, “static repeating” is only true on the pattern level. Automation is not part of the alias and is perfect for creating movement over time (I would never use aliases if automation was included).

standalone redux working on a tablet would be great for instrument building, when you don’t necessarily want to arrange a song, just spend time on sounddesigning.
Real freeze functionality, targeting especially external synth/audio generator devices. Like Freezing pre-fader/post-fader options, automatic RE-freeze on change (the note data could be still editable)
I would love this to reduce CPU usage. When I’m happy with how a track (or track group) sounds, it would be nice if I could freeze it, effectively rendering it to a FLAC (or WAV) that was played instead. Ableton Live has this sort of functionality and it is awesome for amounting endless plugins onto a track to achieve the result you want without making the song unplayable.
After using Live for a while I wish renoise had some similiar functions
Automation with a X/Y controller just like Ableton This would make automation so much smoother!
A similar pattern/play system with the pattern manager like ableton, like the ability to sync it with a rhythm
A different live record function accompanying the existing one, you’ll have to figure something out. The one now is a bit messy.
Experimental idea: Add a new tab under samples for phrases/automation, where you can choose phrases or set of automation, hit record and play and the phrase or autmation is recorded to the tracker, this would add a similar function to Ableton’s live recording or something. Phrases or anything that makes automation a bit smoother than it’s now.
This would make automation so much smoother!
