Very cool! I mostly use the signal follower to “side-chain”, which works but it can be a hassle to get it to behave the way I want. I tried the keytracking method once and didn’t get it to work. Suspect that might have been due to it receiving the same data over and over again. Gonna try that random input. Thanks MrZensphere!
Another good process and video.
Congratulations and thanks
Weird,unless the minimum has a value of 1,the lfo seems to continue to climb,and with a maximum value of 255 it only reaches -0.36 db or thereabouts.I came across something similar to this before,im not sure if i was microtuning or what,but i could not hit a zero point exactly before,it was always slightly off.

lol, too true ![]()
@ToybOx yeah, it’s strange. I don’t believe I’ve encountered this behavior before. Since you said it seems to climb continually, it makes me wonder if maybe the lfo is almost but not quite at -inf, even though it’s showing it. or maybe there’s a rounding error somewhere or something
Inspired by the discussion in the other thread about free-running lfos…
This method is decidely not polyphonic, but still useful ![]()
probably nothing anyone here really needs, but putting together a series of beginner’s tutorials for renoise
I believe many will benefit from this including me.
May I suggest either encapsulating the Gainer by itself within a Doofer or insert Hydra in between the LFO and Gainer for more precise control? Precisely controlling Gainer with LFO has always been a nagging problem for me since the inception of Renoise 3 that I mostly forgo using the Gainer module by itself.
yes, agreed. the hydra is a “cleaner” method for precise control, but the 25%, 12.5% method is adequate for the quick and dirty ![]()
I’m happy to inform that I configured Sapphire Bot to send us notifications for your Renoise tutorials in the Trackercorps server ![]()
Also tracking (pun intended) tutorials by Groovin in G and the official Renoise channel!

Dope, thanks!
Now you know how I got Renoise.
I just search for next movie The Matrix. Then I got result Matrix Renoise. I was pretty sure - it is a movie… and this how I stuck in Matrix or Renoise…

Finally I understood how the pattern matrix is working and learned a few functions I wasn’t aware of before. ![]()
Please keep doing more beginners tutorials! ![]()
Planning on it ![]()
