I do not finish seeing properly this idea. Overlapping audio waves should really show what audio you’re going to hear, including the dozens of effect parameters, which should be represented in real time, not to mention the skip between patterns. The operation I suppose would require a high process. Same for VSTi instruments and VST effects. I see it complicated.In addition, the same note column can reproduce at the same time several audio waves of different notes and instruments. How do you cover all that?There is also no zoom. It is not possible to analyze small segments visually.
On the other hand, to only show the clear superimposed waves, it is a little twisted, invading the same area as the runway columns.
I saw another idea for months joining the audio waves with the automation editor, using layers, colors, and even the possibility of being able to compare between different automation curves of the same track, including maximize window. This is a good idea, which would add audio waves with a drastic improvement of the automation editor, which is what Renoise really needs to improve. The clear pattern editor it looks the better. There is a lot of data there already. Instead of overlapping tracks, it would be more reasonable to duplicate tracks, one of parameters and another of audio waves, side by side, being an option.
Really, I do not expect audio waves or pianorroll (because they have never been added before).But I do wish and hopefully drastically improve the automation editor, horizontally (improve copy, duplicate, clipboard, possibility to compare automation of different effects parameters, etc.), and if you have to add some audio wave, there, horizontally, where it is automated. Thus, the wave could be larger and easier to see.

IMO, Andrey Marchenko and Danoisetalked about this subject.They brought out very good ideas in this thread.Andrey was criticized on these forums for suing a better automation editor, but he was absolutely right. I want to remind you, and that these ideas are not lost in the forums. A much more advanced automation editor would be a very logical step for version 3.2, along with an improved GUI for high resolutions, among other things more secondary.These two improvements do not involve transforming Renoise, but rather improving what already exists…
