I’d find it very helpful if we could get rulers in the sample editor. Like in Photoshop, you just pull them from the top or left to help visually with peaks and valleys in samples, etc.

Free-running LFO´s

So that, if you change the tempo bpm, the LFO will stay in the same tempo, unaffected by the change in bpm

maybe a button on the current LFO to switch between LPC and Hertz (down to three decimals; 0.001 Hz)

Hello,

These are in order of my personal priority.

Add option: Lock Keyboard Focus when clicking Pattern Editor and Sequence Matrix
Please have an option somehow to actually lock when you click between Pattern Editor and Pattern Sequence Matrix.

Lock Phrases
An option to “Lock Phrases.” Example, if no phrases exist, when loading a new instrument, no new phrases will be loaded. Or, if phrases are loaded, and a new instrument is loaded, the previous phrases stay.

Destructively Render Sample Properties to Sample
It would be nice if in the sample editor you could render the beatsync’d waveform instead of needing to make a pattern to render and other hoops to jump through. It would save so much time and make it easier to be very creative. After you adjust beats/settings of the beatsync, in the sample editor, you should be able to right click and “Destructively render beatsync settings to sample.” So much work was done regarding the beatsync its just missing one final step! And/or fix the broken workflow of beatsync’d loops, rendering slices to phrase/destructively render slices. Currently, If you slice a beatsynced loop, “apply beatsync values to transpose and fine tune”, not only are the transpose and fine tune settings not applied to the slices, it will not make a phrase of the correct size if its not a size 64line loop This actually works! You MUST hit T before slicing any sample.

Replace Record
Overdub is nice, but sometimes you just want to jam and want to capture your last performance with a stop recording when you’ve laid down a nice take. The only way to do this now is to press undo a bunch of times after every loop/take. This takes so much time.

Recording notes while playing mono instrument and glide setting, glide automatically recorded / sample fx visible
Just like when delay column isn’t on when recording unquantized, the fx column should automatically be made visible and glide recorded.

Pattern Follow in Phrase Editor
There are quantization key bindings available so maybe this will happen, just didn’t make it for the release?

Move Cursor To Mouse Click Position
If I click a note or fx column, for ex “D0”, the cursor will aways end up on the “D” even if I click on 0. It is extremely frustrating that the cursor doesn’t go where clicked, or goes to the note instead of the value. Hidden Feature! Don’t “quick click” on the item, click and hold for a half second and the cursor will go to where you want it! Doesn’t work in the Volume/Panning/Delay column when using fx there but it does work in fx columns. I see this is related to the single click to move cursor option in prefs, as double clicking works same as a long click.

Add option: Hold Shift To Make A Selection / Real Instant Drag n Drop
Just like almost every other click style editor, please default to making a single selection/moving when first single clicking and NOT multi-drag selecting. If I want to select we are used to holding shift! Faster editing this way. Also the “instant drag and drop” option still requires two clicks to move a block.
ezgif-5-7629c8a297
Also the way it is, makes it impossible to clear a block selection to one cell without clicking outside of the selection area. If we want to drag the block we will hold the click, to make a new selection single click on a cell. One could use the begin/end selection keystroke, but using [shift-] alt(option) clicking to make these kinds of selections is much easier when using the mouse, and this is mouse related stuff here. Edit: Looks like it was some tool I had installed that caused this behavior. Oops!

Paste Merge
An option when you paste it will “merge” with existing note data, creating new note columns if necessary. This exists as “Mix Paste” as a key-command only.

Hide Tracks without Patterns In Sequence Matrix
An option to toggle view of tracks that don’t contain patterns in the sequence matrix. This would save so much screen real estate.

FX Column Rename / Tag
I think it would be nice if the FX Column could have its header either renamed ( like the note column ) or be able to insert a tag under FX header, like where “play” is under the note column.

Change lines per scroll with mouse
Have an option in the keys preferences to change the number of lines a mouse wheel scrolls, and/or lock it the pattern edit step length, obviously minimum 1.

Route Multiband Send within a Doofer / FX Chain
A way to route multiband-send to same-chain devices to be able to, for example, pack a self made multi-band compressor into a doofer.

Mute Sample in Sample Editor
A way to mute a sample in an instrument instead of needing to change gain to zero and back again to unmute. Key command “Mute” should actually be named Silence.

Link L+R In Devices
In devices such as Delay, it would be very helpful to be able to “link” l+r when making adjustments!

More 4+ Track Spectrum Display
The built in spectrograph is amazing. Please add C+D(EFG?) ie able to monitor at least 4 tracks.

Auto Gain for Waveform in Scopes
Could the gain be automatically adjusted for scope view when looking at the waveform?

Instruments Favorites
Just like the plug-ins. Looks like even more was almost implemented with the tagging tool.

Option to not wrap around pattern edges
Just like you can option to scroll through patterns

Doofer Groups
Currently you can favorite doofers, but you cannot add them to groups.

List Effect Chains in Contextual Menu
When you go to load an Effects Chain, list them under the “Device Chain” Contextual menu

UnPack A Doofer
Unpack a Doofer…just like the undo command. The doofer macros will be erased but that’s ok.

That is all, thank you :slight_smile:

Since it´s not already implemented, I guess it might be hard to do so, but it would be awesome to be able to pan vst instruments using the pan column. I see that volume commands are working.

Autoset beatsync length for slices. Or someway to set your slice points after beatsyncing the parent sample and not have have to adjust each slices beatsync. It’s pretty much the only thing Serato Sample CAN do. Great for melodic loops and samples. Would be great to see that option in Redux.

Imma say it real slow…

EMMMMM PEEEEEE EEEEEE

Not sure if a view like this would have any appeal for pro users, but maybe helps bring new user onboard who are used to seeing waveforms in other Daws…

Great idea!!!

what if its a modulating signal? the waveforms are supposed to constantly update? hmmm What if it is a vst. different display? I’m not hating just wondering/brainstorming and if its really possible/would work as you intend. What is supposed to be in the 2nd column?

I guess the display would show a simplified version of the basic waveform. wouldn’t need to animate or anything complex, it’s just a visual cue as to what sample (or synth) is being used. Synths would have its own icon and the user can assign a colour.

The second column could display volume number, or other fx, like usual. Maybe even defaults to sample number & the note, in this view mode.

honestly, i’ve not thought it out in-depth, just got a picture in my head and drew it out while was in the mood :slight_smile:

Best!

Antivirus for Renoise. It is must detect and delete a trojan virus “pianoroll”.

I want the last used directory to be the default directory when exporting themes.
Just like when you save a song, you should remember the directory where you exported the theme last time.
Currently fixed to $HOME in Linux
