I’m really really hoping for a detachable mixer-window in the next version. It would be so cool to be able to control the mixer from a separate touch-screen next to my midi-keyboard…
I would also like to have Note-off’s automap’able to MIDI-hardware instead of only using the regular computer-keyboard.
And (drumroll) my biggest wish: Notes that are represented by graphical blocks that can be stretched or shortened with the mouse. I don’t see any real need for a regual pianoroll but it would IMO be a tremendous benefit for the whole workflow-process if one could just record a note and then just “bungy-cord” it instead of fiddling with inserting and moving note-off’s.

Lol there’s a whole thread catered for that wish. (That I would really want so my third monitor actually does something useful.)
I would be curious to hear a bit from the devs./renoise team core about their vision of renoise in the forthcoming versions, any roadmap or what features THEY think should be added, if by any chance they read this…
My dream: vertically-scrolling audio tracks (waveforms), same width as existing columns… I want easier audio editing, but don’t want to lose the ‘vertical mindset’ that’s made Renoise fun for me.
More realistic, maybe: updates to the DSPs. I’m pleased to see there’ll be more and better filters coming from Redux, and I’d like that to extend to other effects. I demo-ed Bitwig, and was tempted to get it just because the effects were so good – note, there were not hundreds of them, but they were all very high quality and had configurable routing (ie fx-within-fx, so effect 2 only effects the wet output of effect 1, that kind of thing).
A native synth would be good too, something versatile, light on the CPU and very very stable. Synth1 kinda does that, as well as all the fun to be had with native sample synthesis of course, but anything new would be welcome…
OH NEARLY FORGOT some kind of setlist/preloading/cueing arrangement for live sets would be great! I suspect live stuff is not a priority for most users but it doesn’t seem like it should be that difficult…?
Also very curious to hear what the devs have in mind for the future.
Latch Option with Mute Groups and Sub-Groups for the Phrase editor So you can play drum phrases while playing synth phrases, break down with ease, remix them, and keep things orderly Beat synced Phrase triggering
Renoise is already a modular synth in my opinion. Just needs some more (re)synthesis features for samples etc. FM, RM, Spectral, and maybe some sort of wavetable or vector feature(s) would all be great to see.
Would be nice to see Instruments with the ability to have presets, modulatable modulation especially LFO’s (Pitch is the main area of concern), Note and Legato triggering of LFO’s, Key tracking of LFO’s, Faster LFO’s like 80 Hz please, and Drawable LFO’s with adjustable curve(s).
Modulatable Start, Loop Start, and End points
Please can we automatize the instrument macros ???
Above everything mentioned above it all comes down to work flow. Renoise seems to be falling behind fast when it comes to workflow. The updates just are not keeping up with modern standards I hate to say.

I think it’s more that a tracker-style DAW just has some unique challenges. Honestly, having looked at a few other trackers in the last few months out of curiosity (I’m relatively new to them), I admire Renoise and team more for how well they’ve brought the tracker “thing” to the full-on DAW world and survived despite general tendency for people to want to stick with what’s now the “traditional” piano-roll, horizontal left to right tracks, etc.
