Using Simple Waveforms

[laserbeak]

hi

i know that some trackers come with the option to choose a simple waveform to use in the tracker pattern editor. does renoise come with these? and if so how do i access them?

thanks

Unfortunately no, Renoise doesn’t come with them. You should be able to roll your own really easily though - just apply a loop to a single cycle of the waveform (and finetune it with the loop tuner so that it hits the equator at either end) to turn a basic waveform synth sample to a seamlessly looped single cycle, and you’re done. I recommend sampling the waveform at as high a sampling rate as you can manage, as that’ll hold off aliasing for more octaves up and down.

Question for the devs, or other knowledgeable folks: Is a pitched 96K sample still going to result in less aliasing than a pitched 44K sample when your ASIO on your soundcard is set to 44K?

Yes, the 44K is just playback samplerate, sound processing happens inside your comp before the soundcard output.
