DESCRIPTION
Renoise... A unique approach when compared with mainstream music sequencers, Renoise’s streamlined workflow delivers professional results.

Renoise is a complete music production environment with support for FX and instrument plug-ins, automatic plug-in delay compensation, multi-core load balancing, MIDI i/o, audio recording, flexible audio output, parameter automation, and much more.

Renoise is a mod tracker. If you’ve never used a tracker before, don’t be put off by the machine-code-like appearance of the main editing screen. Ultimately, it’s just a display of simple note and effects information that is easily understood and, for the proficient user, makes the creation of music far quicker than is possible in traditional sequencers.

Why spend hours cobbling beats together with a mouse when you can do it in seconds with a few keystrokes? Whether you’re an audio veteran or just starting out, Renoise is the perfect complement for anyone looking for something new.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.1:
  • Full ReWire Slave & Master support (on Windows & OSX)

    ReWire allows you to connect and synchronize multiple software applications, so that you can run them side by side while passing Audio/MIDI information between them.

    For example, you could connect Renoise to Logic, program your drums in Renoise, while arranging the bulk of your song in Logic. Or you could connect both Reason and Ableton Live to Renoise, arrange your track in Renoise, control Reason's built-in synthesizers, and play around with loops in Live. All it takes is some ReWire enabled software and you are good to go.

    ReWire has two modes, both of which are fully supported by Renoise: *ReWire Master* (ReWire Mixer) and *ReWire Slave* (ReWire Synth)

    @See here for more info about ReWire & Renoise

    A note for OSX users: Renoises ReWire slave mode requires OSX 10.4 or later, so you can unfortunately not run Renoise as ReWire slave on OSX 10.3.9

  • New Pattern Sequencer Features:
    • Decoupled Sequencer Playback Now Possible:

      This new feature allows the user to detach the current playback position from the edit position. This lets you edit a pattern while other patterns are playing.

      To decouple the sequencer, simply turn off the "Pattern Follow" option, which will then decouple the pattern editor & sequencer.

      Those who don't want this new behavior by default, can disable it in the GUI preferences pane. The "Pattern Follow" Option will then only detach the playback position in the Pattern Editor.

    • Live Pattern Triggering:

      Patterns can now be "scheduled" for playback via a new column in the Pattern Sequencer. Without stopping playback you can now trigger new sequences in the song "in real time". The new column should be more or less self-evident.

      For those who don't want to use the mouse, there are also two new related shortcuts:
      * Play/Switch to the currently edited Sequence -> Control + Shift + Space
      * Schedule the currently edited Sequence Pos for Playback -> Control + Space (exchange "Control" with "Command" on OSX)

  • New meta devices (Modulation / Automation Device fun)
    • Hydra Device

      Automate/change/broadcast multiple FX parameters with a single parameter. Think of this as a magic slider, which connects itself to up to 9 other parameters - allowing you to change multiple settings with just one slider or automation.

    • Keytracking Device

      Modulates parameters depending on an instruments key (note) value. Like what the "*Velocity Device" does with Velocities, the Keytracking device does with Keys/Notes.

    • MIDI Control Device

      This device replaces the old "MIDI-CC Device", finally offering Pitchbend, Channel Pressure, Program Change & regular controller (CC) in a single device.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

SIMON   Renoise is great. It has a lot of power and speed. Definately my favorite music-creation studio.

If you aren't familiar with trackers, then it may take a while to learn. So download lots of XM-music files and learn. There are literally thousands of XMs out there.
