A simple, but workflow wise very good feature, custom default presets for all effect and instrument devices (vsti, vstfx, too) would be nice:

It will be good to add modulators and carrier in meta device for fm sound effects and design.

The ability to map frequencies of effects to notes directly. Like maybe a checkbox for “use notes” or “use numbers” for any parameter that is basically just controlling frequency. So, like, the Filter effects could have a checkbox to turn the cutoff parameter from frequency to note, or, the RingMod effect could have a checkbox to turn the note parameter to frequency from note.
I would also love to see the Send channels able to send to themselves for feedback. I use that in Ableton Live to create delays where the feedback of the delay is set by the send amount to itself. This is useful for having effects in the feedback path like a dub delay. I understand the limitation in most of the rest of the program to only be able to “send forward,” but for the Send channels alone, this would be useful. Maybe have the #Send effect on Send channels allow to send to themselves with a delay amount.

I thought about having a parallel container. In combination with the meta devices, you could do fancy things, for example splitting the transient phase of the sustain phase into two different fx lanes, using the signal follower.
The Renoise signal follower actually is a lot superior over the Bitwig’s one, so there are a lot more possibilities.

Internal audio recording, and I don’t mean rendering to sample. I sometimes like to turn fx dials at random in real time to create glitch sounds and currently I have to re-route my computers audio using third party software into Audacity to record myself doing that. Having a way of internally recording in Renoise, like in Ableton, would be so much handier.

But why not automizing your parameters?
Because automating parameters takes time and is less intuitive for fast workflow/sound creation. It’s good for when you have a definite sound you want to achieve and you know how to achieve it, or for when you find a cool setting from experimenting and then you want that sound to vary over time. You simply dial in the automation and you’re done. Randomised LFO’s work good for creation to but aren’t 100% controllable. You might dial in randomised LFO set the track to run, find a cool sound, of FX, and have it disappear seconds later when the LFO jumps to the next random parameter.
By having internal recording you tweak at whatever pace you like, you could for instant put on a delay effect, dial in a setting, tweek it, let it run for a minute, try add a phaser, tweak that, maybe the phaser doesn’t sound good so you swap it for chorus, and so on. You can keep stacking, mixing and matching effects in whatever order you like at whatever pace you feel like, giving you all the time you need to sculpt sounds without having to be afraid of losing the sound creation results of previous fx settings and parameter as you go. You can save parameters settings and fx chains as you experiment while in real time all the audio from the session is recorded to one sample for later use. You simply then cut out the portions of the recording you want and discard the unwanted.
Here’s an example of the workflow in action where Mr. Bill uses it to jump between presets to create glitched up sounds and vocals at 11:25
With @Raul’s SMC Tool… I’m nearing the end of requests. Seriously, if any of you want even more sample control, and you haven’t gotten that tool, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. I bought it. It’s worth it. I can do almost all of the sample manipulation that I want to. It opens up the automation of the Sampler to provide a bunch of LFO, automation, MIDI control, etc. This is Max/MSP-esque stuff IN Renoise.
Here’s an example from me:
One major request, and I’m sure it’s been said before. Please allow the Sampler to play back the sample from any point besides the actual beginning of the sample? Please, please, please
When using the SMC Tool, the sample has to always start from the beginning, no matter what. Sample zero. While that isn’t annoying in the least, it does limit the SMC Tool. If the actual start point of the sample could be from any value, it would provide a greater amount of randomness within the tool.
Other additions I’ve mentioned before - real-time FM sample modulation, real-time FM LFO speeds, greater time-stretch functionality (allow user to choose algorithm and strength). I have to say it again and again and again. Renoise is sooooooooo close to actual Max/MSP / Pure Data / Supercollider territory. I’m making most of the sounds I’d like to make. The music I’m pulling from this sequencer is on par with so many abstract styles of electronic music. I can now do most of the things that I hear from these devices:

Didn’t know this tool existed. Looks pretty cool, gonna have to check this out.
Also +1 for FM sample modulation, and FM Lfo speeds.

Oh yeah. You’ve gotta get it. It modulates the Sampler’s:
- One-Shot
- Release Mode (Note-OFF or Loop)
- Loop Mode (No Loop, Forward, Backward, PingPong)
- Loop Window
- Start Frame
- End Frame
- Volume
- Panning
- Transposition
- Finetune
- Beatsync Lines
- Beatsync Mode (No Beatsync, Repitch, Percussion, Texture)
So yeah, just about everything that could be modulated for sample glitching is there. Except the actual sample playback “start time”. Emailed @taktik about it, so he’s aware. It’s an amazing tool. Brought Renoise into a larger playing field for me.
Some features that enable performing live would be great. Like being able to load another song and attach it to the end of the current song or bulk loading pattern sets.
Im voting for sidechaning too … it does not even have to be super duper fancy… the MPC software has just an internal compressor that has an extra plugin you set on a track it “listens” to. … Yer its kind of a hack solution, but hey if that would come in Renoise it would still be great, but real sidechain would be better of course… just trying to think of solutions that would be fairly simple to implement for the developers and would make a bunch of users happy.

I was voting for vst3 and also sc BUUT
NOW I hav t oadmit that RECORD inside Renoise with Loopback/internal//Wave Recordings makez much more sense since I have already enouf vst2 and wanto record them just inside with a click & treshold as I play along - This would just be superdopeee as the Voxengo Rec thing works somehow BUTT also suckzz somehow AND only 32 bitzz and the only Workaround for now is using that thing.

Request - internal Live Recorder for VSTi capturing the Audio inside Renoise
I’m using MRecorder right now, works fine and it’s free. https://www.meldaproduction.com/MRecorder
Dunno if it’s better than Voxengo though cause I’ve never used it. I’ll let you be the judge.

DANK Habibi!!! Never hav heard of this before and evn more free on there site! Crazy
So why Dont we get Mrecord inside Renoise no too if its posible to do with 3rd Pluggy?
Suppose it just wasn’t a particularly popular feature request, seeing as how ‘render to sample’ and ‘apply DSP FX to sample’ already existed. I think maybe a lot of people didn’t consider the flexibility an internal recorder would have for re-sampling/sound design purposes.

Renoise changed huge trhoug the Time this is also true. But with th e version we have now it make so much sense to implment such a Thing. Didnt renoise early also dint hav any vst support so that may be the Reason. The Mrec works supaduppaahh also so DANK for that @anon81231982!!!
Another thing I’d like to see implemented would be collapsible folders within the instrument tabs. When a project starts getting really large and you have 80+ instrument tabs it can be a real pain in the ass having to scroll up and down through all those instruments to find the one you’re looking for when you get lost or need to make an edit to a section or whatever. It would be seriously handy for instance to be able to have all your percussion instruments nested inside a folder in the instrument tab that you can collapse when you’re not using it to save space and then expand again when you need to access them.
