Renoise 3.0 DAW – new gui and detachable windows for multiple monitors
Renoise is coming with new 2-screen design, renovated GUI more new schoolish but still based on „tracker“ kind of sequencing.
Renoise is quite affordable (about 60€) DAW that intruduces more live/performance and Fx that can be applied directly to audio clips like envelopes and FM/Modulation – so you can do synthesis-kind of things directly.
also there are FX chains and busses in a way that looks unusual to classic DAWs.. sort of mixture of lives and Logics FX/Plugin concepts.
so – what is a tracker? it’s based on notes and event lists – known from the times of very very voice saving organisations of your musical data – so the LIST EDITOR is what makes the tracker a tracker..
in 3.0 they put in some more tracker variations..
aaaand this means – these trackers do not only trigger audio, they might start or trigger sequences, phrases, sounds, envelopes..
- A phrase is referring only to samples within the instrument itself
- An instrument can contain a maximum of 120 phrases (one per key)
- The tempo (LPB) can be set independently of the global tempo in Renoise
- A phrase can be looped or un-looped (oneshot), maximum length being 512 lines
- If spread across multiple keys, a phrase can respond to the triggering note by changing the line offset or basenote (transpose) relative to the basenote of the phrase itself
- Will respect the instruments ‘tempo quantize’ setting for tempo-synced jamming
- Accepts most sample commands: backwards, volume/pitch-slide, offset etc.
- Easily create poly-rhythmic melodies using a few, differently sized phrases.
- Triggering a phrase can drive MIDI and Plugins too, with the usual limitations*
also new – automation in a newer way..
it looks like this – more „retro“ but also more like conventional DAWs and this is not a bad thing..
and – as mentioned – all editors can be in a window that is detachable – so you can use in on multiple monitors – good thing in times of 4K screens coming up.. btw. the cheapest one will be at 500€ coming this year (2014) some more coming from Dell – 3 models etc..
