Hi, been using renoise for a while but always used sample based instruments so far…now that im starting to get into using vsti’s im getting baffled.
my question is this:
how can i get the overall envelope length for a vsti to be aligned with renoises ticks values?
for example; i want the instrument to make sound for exactly 24 ticks, 12 ticks of attack and 12 ticks of decay (no sustain, no release)
As far as I know there is no standard for the way VSTis implement their Envelopes so it would be different values for every VST and thus no way anybody can answer a general question on this.
kazakore is right: it really depends on the VSTi. Generally speaking, the instrument should have a “sync” option which should let you put it in sync with Renoise’s BPM value. Usually, such kind of sync options have values such as “1 beat”, “1/2”, “1/4”, “1/8” and so on so, if your beat is composed of 96 ticks (12TPL * 8LPB, for example), you should set the sync to 1/8 in order to ensure that the envelope will last for 12 Renoise ticks
