What are /r/renoise's favorite Products & Services?

It's true, beta testing for Renoise 3.1 has begun! It brings in the new features from Redux, as well as a few long-requested ones and some general improvements. See the release page for full details: http://www.renoise.com/products/renoise/release-notes/310

Its actually incredibly flexible (more flexible than any other DAW I've worked with). The current price is $89.00 or 65 Euros. With it, you gain access to the Renoise backstage where you can download the client as many times as you wish to install on as many computers as you wish.

You also get support for one full version (Renoise is currently on version 3.0 and a license purchased today will have support until version 4.0). A full list of release history can be viewed here. That should give you a basic idea of how often Renoise releases patches and how long your license will last.

Collapsible channel groups has finally become a reality (that is me in the video). Excellent, and it works really well. It took me 15 minutes to organise my 58+ track project* into groups and sub groups. I'll have to assign some keyboard short cuts to handle the collapse-all/expand-all things as those are a little inconveniently tucked away in a sub-dropdown menu.

* Link to a track I made recorded in Renoise 2.7, so before the new channel grouping. Gives a good example of how useful the grouping will be to me.

We're happy to announce that the Redux VST/AU plugin from Renoise is now available for Win/OSX/Linux.

Redux is a combination of a sampler and performance-oriented phrase sequencer. Want to try it out for free? Demo versions can be downloaded from: http://www.renoise.com/download

How much does it cost? A Redux license is €58 (+VAT) or $65. For owners of Renoise, a Redux license is €40 (+VAT) or $45 when ordered through the Renoise Backstage.

What's included? Redux comes with a small but fine pack of example instruments, samples, DSP FX Chains, Modulation Sets and Phrases - all the components that make up an instrument in Redux. We highly recommend that you browse through the included presets to get an impression of what it can do for you.

There are 3 additional free content packs with more instruments, samples and other presets available to registered users in the Backstage.

There's a fileformats tool which loads them for you. It hasn't been updated for version 3 yet =C

For now you could probably use version 2.8 just to load them, then save them as .xrni files. The tool is available here:

This made me curious abut embedding git into applications.

There's this: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Embedding-Git-in-your-Applications-Libgit2 which led me to this: https://github.com/libgit2/luagit2

I'm assuming that there exists a good zip library for Lua.

I am not going to attempt this, but the idea of Renoise having (either by default or as a tool) built-in song versioning would be the coolest thing ever.

I was using a 10 keyless keyboard for years but recently switched to a Logitech MX Keys. I really really appreciate the num pad now. Fantastic slim wireless keyboard.

Yeah I wish there was a better alternative for Renoise users on Android - SunVox and Deflemask are the best there is, but they have their own learning curve that isn't 1:1 transferrable, and aren't ideal to use on a touchscreen. I just switched off of Android, but when I was on it, I used Caustic Studio just to quickly generate ideas and stems, then continue working with them in Renoise when I got back to my laptop. Caustic is crazy easy to use on a touchscreen and surprisingly feature-rich for such a simple program.

Not a problem! I'm glad somebody was actually interested lol. I just ordered myself one of those touchscreen kits and a little handheld keyboard, as well as an official charger so I can keep have some fun without cables hanging all over the place, and it won't constantly be running on low voltage. Should be a fun little project!

Lots of us weren’t happy about the missing Esc key on those models. The newer TouchBar models have a physical Esc key.

The built-in solution is to open Keyboard in System Preferences and from there you can adjust your modifier keys. Unfortunately the only practical option here is to map Esc to Caps Lock, which is fine for most uses but not great for Renoise users.

So get the free Karabiner Elements app, which lets you remap all the keys you want. I mapped Esc to the § key next to 1, near where Esc should be.

i agree, most of my sound design is in renoise however i love the fluid workflow of things like sunvox, audiotool, and reason (digital cabling gives me wood)

and i find that i create more interesting things mostly down to the fact the splinting and sending signals and audio is less clunky,

if you haven't checked out sunvox already i would its a free tracker, however ive never used it as a tracker just for synth design. i think a similar system in renoise would be amazing!

Ok, here's a rough copy of the theme. Feel free to tweak it and make it better. I didn't have time to make the commands show up better. I generally don't do such light colored renoise themes, I tend to keep things dark. I think I captured the general color scheme of reddit well within renoise, though heh.

I hope you like it!
