Came here by searching forum for a possible solution, 'cause I’m exatly looking for the same thing:
Midi Routing within Renoise from one VST (genrates midi notes) and route it directly to multiple Instruments (VSTs), not only one.
The latest release was an important maintainance release for sure. Yet there is some stuff missing that you can’t really compensate with a plugin, e.g. parallel container for fx and instruments Also some small stuff, like increasing midi inputs to 6, doofer inputs to 16, a native sidechain input device etc. Improving scripting. Oh, clap support MPE support Polyphonic modulation, you name it.
What do you mean? Whole samples or parts of samples in the editor? For the latter, spamming Ctrl + V works and for the former Ctrl + D duplicates samples in the sample list as many times as you want
Press the right arrow to move the selection cursor in the sample editor, then Ctrl V should paste again. At least that’s how it works for me. I often paste multiple times in the sample editor, adding cycles, etc
Do you mean a continuous paste via a keyboard command?
For example, after copying the selection and marking a position, pressing [ALT CTRL V] four times pastes the piece of the copied selection four consecutive times. The result would be 4 pieces glued in a row starting from the previously marked point. If the marked point is the end of the sample, it would grow in duration. Is that?
Does Cxx not do the trick? Also, I’m curious what LPB and BPM values you’re using that would necessitate an off message before the next line.
You can always use phrases to create very short note events by scaling up the LPB in the selected phrase and calling that phrase when you need it with Zxx
Theme files could include fields like Artist_Name, Theme_Description, HTTP_Link and UUID.
In the Theme tab in Settings one could access the theme info, similar to Song Comments, through a Right Click on the theme or a button under Delete button.
A simple native Pitch Shifter and/or Octave efx plugin - something similar to the ones in Zoom Multistomps. It does not have to sound perfect transparent, I quite like the effect of the real time pitcshift artefacts.
Controls for Semitone, Cents, Wet/Dry, Tone.
With assignable parameters, that map correctly to Key Followers output.
Native wavetable instead of FM. A chorus with ‘noise’. These two things that I have in Ableton would take care of any FM requests and also provide beautiful pads with wonderful stereo chorus effects that are ‘noisy’. Yep, I know I can just add a noise waveform to the sampler and maybe just add a stereo effect, but it would be nice to have an ‘all-in-one’. The Wavetable synth in Ableton is where it’s at. Too damn good!
Did you see my recent wavetable vid? It’s a workaround, to be sure, but easy to get some nice results with it.
I’m all for a native, robust wavetable implementation in a future release.
I still would love to see native fm. Would be dope to be able to FM samples with other samples
There is one feature I would like to formally request for the Pattern Editor and Instrument Box:
Ability to link any track to a specific instrument. By doing this, “in the track the instrument index subcolumn would disappear”, gaining a lot of space horizontally for more tracks and getting an even cleaner view of the notes. The two-digit pinned instrument index should appear above the track. The instrument index on the track may appear to the right of the color bar if linked (empty or “- -” if not).
Technically, it is common to “link” an track to a specific instrument. Why not have it in practice?
In the image above (it’s just a fictitious sketch), instrument 02 is linked to track 01, and instrument 03 is linked to track 03. In these two tracks, the instrument index next to the notes does not appear, saving horizontal space and avoiding repetitive information . Additionally, “Track” could be replaced with “Tr” in all tracks, if necessary.
It’s just an idea of what it could be like. I think this feature should be included in the pattern editor, as well as more mouse wheel capability. For example, being able to open or close note columns with the wheel, on the [+] buttons (upper left corner)…
Actually the instrument index for each note would “still exist”, it would just be “hidden” by not showing the instrument index subcolumn in the track. In fact, a lot of space is saved in a track by using multiple note columns. If we study most XRNS song compositions, a lot of them link tracks to specific instruments on a regular basis. It’s very common.
This would have some advantages and some disadvantages. Compatibility with old Mods stuff would broken because many uses more the only 1 Instrument per Track. (Instrumentmixing because olf Trackcount limitation)
Maybe there would be disadvantages for heavy sample users. I dont know her Workflows, im using much VST.
on the other Side…
It would give more efficient use of horizontal screenspace, which is ergonomic. And ergonomic is nice.
Difficult to decide.
Maybe it would be best to make a good compromise?
My suggestion would be a Button under the Patternarea to outblend the Instrument IndexColumn in Trackview, similar to the other buttons of this type to outblend PatterFx and so on. We could make show the Instrumentindex as “02” like in your example when all Notes in all Trackcolumns are same instruments, and “02+” for instance. if there are more then 1 instrument in track. Then we could get maybe a Hint to with exact
instrument index, samplename or VST name when you hover over a single trackcoloumn. In every condition for this, i would recommend some design studis for this changed design/use-case scenario to practically outtesting if the Pattern/Track workflow in all will be better or worser.
I dont know if there are many users which use all 12 Columns per track with instrument mixing. The difficult is that you can mix different instruments together in one trackcolumn ( what you should not do anymore in nowadays times) or they use maybe trackmixing with different instruments in different Columns of a Track. (1 instrument per trackcolumn)
A good idea would be a user survey to this thematics i think.
happy tracking
Edit: The “Track 01” and so on, i everytime rename to my Instrument category. For instance in “Snare” and so on.
