An old video has been updated and improved.
During a song’s playback, triggered notes can be cut short by the Note-Off command. For samples this can trigger any or all of these three things: End Sample Loop, Modulation Sustain & Release and Sample Note-Off Layer.
The ‘Automation Within An Instrument’ video demonstrated that phrases could be used to automate effects whenever a note is played. In this video we’ll look at another method using a dummy waveform.
Shaping sounds with an envelope has been a common feature of audio production since the early days of hardware synthesizers. In Renoise and Redux, the Envelope device provides you the ability to create complex multi-stage envelopes.
In an instrument when you assign a sample to a Modulation Set and an FX Chain, normally you’re stuck with the choice you’ve made. However, by employing a bit of ingenuity, there’s a couple of ways around this.
Nice one! I didn’t realize that #send receiver was a valid modulation destination. Very cool and opens up some intriguing possibilities
Yup. And go deeper with output assignments. I use them for sidechain purposes mainly. Works great. This way one ducking device on a channel can receive multiple signal sources! Renoise is so flexible and modular!
Adding modulation to samples greatly expands the possibilities of their sound beyond the original audio. If you’re unfamiliar with the Modulation section, this video shows the basics of constructing envelopes, using presets and Sets.
Renoise 1.1
ah, thanks, I thought it was a new tool 
When you understand how features work and how they can be connected together, you can create something entirely new. This is possible throughout Renoise, and ‘Building An Effects Stepper’ is one example.
This video stands apart from all the others that came before. So after the intro it shifts into ‘unscripted mode’, where I talk about building something new in a (hopefully) appropriate manner.
