Regarding the analysis of additional visual forms in Renoise, I do not think that this is such a straightforward nuclear science or something unattainable. Many other DAWs came to this long ago “even Reaper that runs from only its own EXE file” and overcame this point. Renoise can easily create an additional cache thread of the traces and in it all the data about the visual preprocessor will be saved. There is another option, as in Ableton, an additional temporary cache is created for the original visual material, and it is deleted as soon as work on this or that project is completed.
I just can not understand why Renoise can not improve such elementary, seemingly, things related to the visual side of the program…
Sometimes I think I’ve been late to these forums. Years ago I followed the threads of the forums but did not participate, and already used Renoise. However, the more I have participated in these last 2 years, it is just the less activity I have seen on the part of the developers of Renoise, probably because their main developer is something else away from Renoise for a long time. That is why, when these great ideas appear, I get the feeling that they end directly in the “forgetting forums”. Like FFX, I have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. But I get the feeling that there is nothing developing at this time. So I do not expect these important improvements. That does not mean I do not want it.Yes I know that the compatibility for high resolutions has been contemplated, and that “is in the roadmap”. I also understand that after Christmas there will be news, or some threads will be moved, but this is not confirmed, so there are more speculations from other members of the forums.
Only those responsible for Renoise could answer you.But I understand that any idea must go through a filter, however good it may be.I suppose you already know who the filter is…Meanwhile, we have LUA and the host of Renoise to try to create things.
But I also understand that people who make good tools, serious and big tools, not small things, do not share this kind of tools, or just do not waste time with them, because there is no activity with Renoise updates. That “feeling of abandonment” also influences here.
I do my tools because I like to code, and I am continually learning new things about the subject. But for that, I try to completely ignore the development of Renoise, which is currently stuck, because otherwise, I’m disappointed…
On the other hand, I can assure you that creating tools with LUA and your touch of graphic originality can be very entertaining, although in reality the tool is not a big thing.
