[Videos] Tutorials For Learning Renoise

These are simply great ! Clear, to the point, excellent. It could be nice if you’d do also a few on creative uses, to inspire. Perhaps against a simple song background. Or maybe using Redux in a DAW, with other tracks as background, showing creative uses of Redux in such a context.

Cheers.

Strictly sequential playing and recording of notes is desirable for instruments that are designed to be used monophonically. The Mono button allows you to toggle between this behaviour and regular polyphony.

Found within the sample modulation section of the instrument editor, the AHDSR device crafts an envelope by using its five properties to generate a shape composed of five phases.

The Repeater captures a chunk of sound from what is currently playing in a track and keeps repeating it. It’s worth taking the time to demonstrate how this device functions, since it can be a bit confusing if you’re not familiar with its specific quirks.

The preset controls of an effect device can be used to automatically adjust its parameters to some preset values, as well as allowing you to compare, save, import and export those presets.

As shown in the Track Types video, a Send device routes a track’s audio to a Send Track. In this video we’ll fully explore the possibilities of this simple concept.

DC offset is an unwanted displacement of amplitude from zero which can cause problems such as clicks, distortion and loss of audio volume. Renoise provides a few solutions to deal with this.

Tools are scripts that can be plugged into Renoise to add new capabilities and features. The Tools are built upon the Renoise Scripting API and Lua. With a few lines of code, you can build the things that you always wanted Renoise to have.

I loved this video! I just yearn some lines of LUA code from some tool. This way people can get used to the idea that it is not very difficult. For example, a very simple tool, show the code and say, this does this from Renoise.Also say that with “many lines” it is possible to make very complex tools.

Maybe another video to dig a little deeper?

Thank you very much for this content!

Instead of working through MIDI, the Instrument Automation device sends parameter changes directly to a Plugin instrument.

Macros allow for powerful handling and automation of an instrument’s Modulation and Effects parameters. In Renoise this is controlled with the Instrument Macros track effect, while Redux uses the options available within its host.

The Chorus, Flanger and Phaser effects have a lot of similarities, both in their parameters and in how modulation is used to alter the input audio. With the Reset button they also share one powerful method of controlling the modulation.

Opened by choosing it from the Song menu, the Song Options panel allows users to configure a variety of more advanced options for an individual song, such as compatibility settings or general playback behaviour.

If you don’t have an external MIDI controller or would just like a software alternative to one, then the Instrument MIDI Control device can be used to send MIDI messages directly to the Plugin and MIDI components of a Renoise instrument. As an effect device it also has the advantage of being easy to control and automate.

Although the way they work and how they sound is quite different from each other, the Ringmod & Comb Filter effects do share one large similarity in how the Note & Transpose parameters allow the user to ‘tune’ them to precise note values.

The old AHDSR video has been remade and improved for the recent Renoise update.

The Delay device is a classic audio effect that creates patterns of spatial echoes from its input, which can be used both creatively and for more practical mixing purposes. The Multitap Delay is a more complex version of this, with additional filtering and routing options.

The Stepper device is found within the Modulation section of the Sampler and at first glance performs a pretty simple function: every time a note is played, the cursor moves forward in the envelope, changing the output value. However, there’s actually a lot more control available to you than it initially appears.

A Gate reduces the volume of the input signal while it is below a specific Threshold, but when it rises above this the Gate ‘opens’ allowing the original audio to be heard at its full volume. For example, this can be used to silence a constant low noise floor, or to reduce the low volume parts of a complex waveform (such as drum loops).

Wow! I just started learning Renoise this week and stumbled across a few of your videos on YouTube! I’m glad you’ve been keeping up with this series!

I look forward to watching the rest of your material!
