Renoise 3.3

Renoise is a complete, expandable Digital Audio
Workstation (DAW) with a refreshing twist. It lets you
record, compose, edit, process and render production-quality
audio using a tracker-based approach.
In a tracker, the music runs from top to bottom in an easily
understood grid known as a pattern. Several patterns
arranged in a certain order make up a song. Step-editing in
a pattern grid lends itself well to a fast and immediate
workflow. On top of this, Renoise features a wide range of
modern features: dozens of built-in audio processors,
alongside support for all commonly used virtual instrument
and effect plug-in formats. And the software can be extended
too: with scripting, you can use all of your MIDI or OSC
controller to control it in exactly the way you want.
Features highlights:
-
Cross-platform: Renoise runs on Windows, Mac OS
X and Linux. If you want to use Renoise on all of them,
that's possible too! A Renoise license covers all
platforms, so there's no need to register a separate
copy for each.
-
Tracker Interface: Quick. Once you get rolling
with the keyboard shortcuts, there is no stopping you.
There are no annoying floating windows. Every widget
stays where it belongs.
-
Plugin support: Plugins provide you with a vast
array of effects and synths. With Renoise, all of that
is within reach. Renoise supports VST, AU, LADSPA and
DSSI.
-
ReWire Support: Connect and synchronize Renoise
with other ReWire-capable audio applications. Combine
the best aspects of both trackers and sequencers.
-
Multi-Core Support: Take advantage of all the
cores in your system to boost performance, allowing you
to add much more and heavier DSPs, tracks, VST FX and
VST Instruments than before.
-
Automatic PDC: Plug-ins and external inputs
have varying amounts of delay, making your tracks sound
really sloppy. With Automatic PDC, instruments and
effects in your productions will be tightly synced.
-
26+ Native DSP FX: With over 26 native effects
included, Renoise has all the essentials you need to
tackle any production: reverb, delay, filters,
compressors, EQ, distortion, flanger, phaser and more.
Use as many of them as you like.
-
Powerful Sampler and Sample Editor: Edit and
playback samples with the Sample Editor. Actually the
whole tracker is one big sampler with a vast amount of
sample mangling possibilities.
-
MIDI: Connect Renoise to hardware synths or VST
instruments to send and receive notes and controllers
changes. Sync Renoise in either master or slave mode.
-
Lua Scripting API: Renoise contains an API
(application programming interface) which enables you to
customize and extend the application by writing scripts
in the Lua programming language.
-
External Audio Recording: You can record your
sound card's line-in in the Sample Editor. Capture
perfectly synched or manually triggered external audio
directly into a sample slot. Or route the external
signal through the Line-In Device into the DSP Chain.
-
Mixer: Renoise's flexible answer to the
traditional mixer. Also doubles as an interface for the
DSP Chain.
-
Track routing: The Send and Master tracks pave
the way for unique routing options. Whether you route a
single channel or 50 channels to a Send track full of
effects, your PC's CPU will hardly know the difference.
-
Meta Devices: With meta devices like the Signal
Follower, LFO, X/Y Pad, Meta Mixer and more, you can
modulate or control other device parameters instead of
manipulating audio. They can even be linked between
different tracks, making for complex and powerful sound
design possibilities.
-
Automation: Draw curves to tell effects and
instruments how their parameters should change during
playback.
-
Rendering to WAV: Export your songs to WAV. Up
to 32-bit, 96 kHz, with either cubic or sinc
interpolation. Renoise can also save the separate tracks
and patterns.
-
File formats: Renoise accepts many sample and
song formats
What’s new in 3.3 version
In
summary:
VST3
plugin support Audio Sidechain support for VST2/3 and AU plugins and for
some native Renoise FX devices a few little other tweaks and fixes In
detail:
(Renoise only) VST3 support: The VST2 protocol was deprecated by Steinberg a
while ago and replaced with the VST3 protocol. More and more plugins will be
available in the new VST3 format only. VST3 support is by default enabled on
Windows and Linux. On OSX it can be enabled in the Renoise Plugin/Misc
preferences. Feature-wise, VST3 behaves similar to VST2, but sidechaining is
a lot easier to realize in VST3 (see below) and external VST3 editors can
more easily be resized - when supported by the plugin.
(Renoise and Redux) New #Sidechain device (in the Native/Routing sections in
Renoise’s Track FX browser), to send audio in tracks or instrument chains to
sidechain ports of plugins (VST2/3, AU) and the following native devices:
Compressor, Bus Compressor, Gate. A video has been created 286 to
demonstrate how this device works. Please note that the sidechain support in
VST2s is a bit wonky: The VST2 protocol never had an official way to support
side-chains, so the support in hosts and plugins is problematic. The VST3
protocol simplifies this, so it’s preferred to use a VST3 version of a
plugin, if available, for side-chaining.
(Renoise, Linux only): Timing fixes for ALSA MIDI: previous version of
Renoise may not have applied note delays in MIDI events correctly.
(Renoise and Redux) Alt-Tabbing to Renoise sometimes could have frozen the
Renoise GUI for a few seconds when a lot of sub folders were visible in the
Renoise Disk Browser.
(Renoise and Redux, Linux only): Use XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_DATA_HOME paths
on Linux (defaulting to “~/.config/Renoise” and “~/.local/share/Renoise”) to
get rid of the Renoise folder in your home directory. The old “~/.renoise”
and “~/Renoise” folders are symlinked to the new paths, so older versions of
Renoise, when installed, can still use the old paths. If you don’t have
older versions of Renoise installed you can remove them.
(Renoise and Redux) Various compatibility tweaks and fixes for OSX - but
most of them got released in the Renoise 3.2 bug fix updates already: All
builds are notarized now, a few drawing fixes for OSX Big Sur, replaced
Renoise’s “custom” full screen mode with the standard OSX’ full screen mode
for better compatibility in newer versions of OSX.
(Renoise only) Lua API changes (new API version is 6.1 - this is a minor,
fully backwards compatible update - so all old tools will auto-upgrade)
