Fingers crossed, we'll see these implemented during the 2.x product cycle. Renoise reckons we can look forward to pattern zooms, a piano roll and more precise timing for effects automation. The best might be yet to come, however, as certain changes - notably the new LPB and Track Delays - are said to pave the way for intended future enhancements. In fact, virtually no aspect of Renoise has been left untouched. There are many minor improvements, too, such as support for netbook resolutions down to 990x550, GUI streamlining, the dragging and dropping of song/sample files, an all-new Ringmod effect and a Filter 3 module with numerous modes, and various Pattern Editor tweaks to enhance workflow. Furthermore, multi-output VSTs and AUs can now route all their channels to individual tracks within Renoise.

Mac users will be thrilled to hear that there's now AU support. You can also change LPB on the fly to, say, drop in a sneaky triplet. Increasing LPB to eight will give 32nd-note resolution, while six equates to 16th note triplets, etc, with the line that falls on the beat always highlighted correctly. LPB refers to the resolution of your song, with the default value giving four lines (rows) for each beat in the bar - 16th-note resolution, basically.

Along with the improved MIDI recording precision, Delay Column values are also automatically recorded in if you're playing live, and you can fine-tune this behaviour with the new Note Quantize options.Īs well as that, you can apply an overall Track Delay, specified in milliseconds, and there's a new Lines Per Beat parameter, replacing the musically illogical concept of Speed that was a hangover from older trackers. There's now a dedicated Delay Column, which enables you to offset notes with a precision equivalent to 256 divisions of one line in your song. To achieve non-quantised timings, delay commands are used to make notes play back slightly late. Notes and commands in a tracker are always aligned to a vertical grid - 16th-notes by default. PDC means that you need no longer worry if a VST or AU plug-in introduces unwanted latency, as Renoise will discreetly compensate for it in the background, just as most modern DAWs do.

Still, Renoise 1.x was already the most professional tracker environment ever created and one of the most comprehensive, so what's been done to kick it up another notch? New for version 2.0įirst up is PDC (Plug-in Delay Compensation) for instruments and effects. You can also load up VST/AU plug-ins, not to mention Linux LADSPA ones.
#Automation in renoise mod#
Renoise is an up-to-the-minute tracker, with modern, professional features like automation curves, a mixer with send channels, 21 native effects (including compression, distortion, chorus, reverb, delay, etc), MIDI support, an integrated sample editor, WAV rendering, and import of common file formats (including tracker modules such as XM, MOD and IT).
