Using Deprecated Renoise Dsp Devices

Tips & Tricks
1

UPDATE: there is now an easier method to load deprecated devices: just go to the disk browser, select “DSP Chain”, go to Renoise library folder, then “Deprecated” subfolder and double-click on the desired device

Decided to do some research and try to find out all the deprecated devices that still work in Renoise, but cannot be activated from the DSP-list.

List of the ones I know of.

Shaper

<filterdeviceclipboard doc_version="0"><br>
  <deviceslot type="ShaperDevice"><br>
    <isactive>true</isactive><br>

Stutter

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  
<filterdeviceclipboard doc_version="0"><br>
  <deviceslot type="StutterDevice"><br>
    <isactive>true</isactive><br>
  </deviceslot><br>
</filterdeviceclipboard>

For some reason Shaper is missing two buttons it has at least in Renoise 1.27.
If people know other deprecated devices I’d love to try them :)

Stutter ;)

Nice one for editing with the C&P XML data! :D

I know there was an old thread that had them all in but fudge knows where it went and Stutter needs to be in there anyway.

4

Nice one! Where would I paste the files you posted if I wanted to try these out?

5

Does that mean I can open the song file inside the .xrns, paste this code somewhere and have these effects in the song the next time I open the .xnrs?

Nice.

6

Ha!! That simple!! Cheers man! :walkman:

Edit: Just tried it…it IS that simple…cooooooollllll :dribble:

B)

i was wondering allready why they call the filter ‘filter3’

8

This is awesome. Stutter is great! Thanks.

I wonder if there are any others?

9

No way this is awesome lmao! I’ve always wondered why Filter is called filter 3 lol. Although there really isn’t much difference between them lol, just interface changes

and yes! Stutter is brilliant lol!

10

Hit a little bit of a block lol. I love the sound Stutter produces. its in fact exactly what I was looking for. but it causes a slight delay (assuming wet is full and dry is nil)… is there a way to… I don’t know reverse the delay so that notes are hit earlier/ or do I have to move all my notes up lmao?

I know I can resample… but I’d have to resample for each key to get the beat sync right… that’s not something i want to do honestly…

11

If you have 100% wet of course there is going to be a slight delay, the delay set before the first stutter. Why don’t you want any of the original sound? Have you tried playing with Track Delays and seeing if that can give you enough to provide the sound you want?

Formula

  <deviceslot type="FormulaMetaDevice"><br>

/edit: it’s not depricated though… just hidden (´･ω･`)

“Failed to create new device from clipboard”

14

Try again. I’ve update the snippet above.

15

Works :)

16

What does this do?

17

Crashing Renoise if you are not careful :ph34r:/>

18

Hm, what are “PdcTestDevice”, “AllPassDevice” and expecially “FaustDevice” for? Ah, ok, I just don’t want to know. I saw these names written on the wall next to a bus station yesterday.

19

Nice find. PdcTestDevice didn’t work though. AllPassDevice was allpass filter and could actually be useful for people doing insane effect chains.

20

Try the allpass filter right in front of a distortion/waveshaper device, fiddle with the frequency and watch the scope at some pitch where you see the input wave “standing” - and listen. For traditional “analog” waveforms it can bring…well, try out yourself. Or put on a send track, feed it the left signal and let the right be unprocessed, and fiddle some more. Mixing with dry signal will give some phaser like hollow effect, but there’s a non-hidden device already that can do better. This isn’t so very insane, actually, just sad we won’t know how exactly it’ll shift phase.

But you could theoretically just use the “phaser” device with certain settings.
