Renoise 3.5.4

With Renoise you create loops, beats and melodies efficiently step-by-step.

It's a complete, expandable Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) with a refreshing twist.

Renoise is affordable, yet no corners have been cut in regard to features.
Renoise is based on mod trackers. Mod trackers are characterized by displaying and editing music in an easily understood grid known as a pattern. These patterns are akin to sheet music, but are displayed alphanumerically instead of with musical notation.
Whether you're an audio veteran or just starting out, Renoise is a fantastic addition to any bedroom or professional studio.


ReWire and Jack Transport Support

Connect and synchronize Renoise with other audio applications. You can now combine the best things about trackers and sequencers!

Automatic PDC (Plugin Delay Compensation)

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.

High resolution timing

With the new timing engine added in Renoise 2.0 you can place events with an insane maximum resolution of up to 65,536 PPQ. This high precision allows live recordings to retain their natural, human feel.

Multi-Core Support

Unleash your computer's full potential. 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.

Interface

Quick. That sums it up pretty much. Once you get rolling with the keyboard shortcuts, there is no stopping you. And hey, there are no annoying floating windows. Every widget stays where it belongs.

Multi Platform

Renoise runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. If you want to use Renoise on all of them, that is possible too! No need to register a separate copy.

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.

Plugin support: VSTi, VSTfx, LADSPA and AudioUnits

Plugins provides you a vast array of effects and synths. With Renoise all that is within reach. Why not map an external MIDI controller to a plugin through the Automate Device and start tweaking for real?

Low latency audio with Multi-I/O ASIO

Soundcards with ASIO benefit from low audio latency and the ability to route individual tracks through any available hardware channel.

Integrated Sampler

Edit and playback samples with the Sample Editor. Because really, why should you let yourself be distracted by switching back and forth to external editors?

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.

Instrument Editor

Turn VST Instruments into CPU-friendly multi-sample Instruments with the Instrument Editor.

Mixer

Renoise's flexible answer to the traditional mixer. Also doubles as an interface for the DSP Chain.

Built-in DSP Effects

Reverb, delay, compressor, distortion, flanger, phaser, EQ. Use as many of them as you like - or your pc can handle.

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.

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.

Release notes:

New Release
First of all, Renoise 3.1 contains numerous improvements to the sound engine - a completely new, rewritten filter section as well as optional oversampling and bandlimiting on sample playback.
Sound improvements at a glance:
All new digital and analog styled zero delay filters with saturation and optional oversampling - everywhere. digital = bread and butter - clean. Analog = warm, with character. The new filters are offered as two new standalone DSP devices - “Digital Filter” and “Analog Filter”, as polyphonic modulation filters, and are used internally in many existing and updated DSP devices (e.g. the Chorus device).
New filters types include a 3 pole K35 filter, Biquad, classic Moog and Diode 4 or 2 pole filters, a Vowel filter, a Chebyshev 4 and 8n filter with customizable ripple and Butterworth 4 and 8n filters.
New, optional bandlimited/oversampled sample playback to reduce aliasing, which is especially useful when using small looped samples. If you prefer to draw your waveforms by hand, or are a heavy user of single-cycle sounds, this feature can make quite a difference.
New Note frequency tuned Comb DSP device, oversampling option for the Distortion device, new bandlimited oscillators in the RingMod and AM modulation filters in instruments.
New Chorus, Flanger and Phaser with resettable phase and new filters.
Improved, now zero-latency Convolver device, which will sound more “dense” with small IRs (e.g. cabinet IRs) and should create less CPU peaks, XRUNS with very large IRs (e.g. Reverbs).
New “Apply Post Track Volume” option for the Send and MultiSend devices - this makes it possible to use the post-gain level to control any send device, anywhere in the DSP chain.
Support for sample rates up to 192000 Hz (if the sound card/driver supports it - always available when offline rendering).
