weird track but thats what make it cool

its really crap quality cause i didnt buy renoise yet so i recorded the headphone jack with the line input using renoise as a rewire slave

but its 'going to be' my first renoise track.

took me ages to figure out the basics, and not even done figuring them out.

this ones the first time messing around with tx81z

i like VOP. have you thought about messing with all that reverb a bit? might get some cool arrangement stuff by moving some elements in and out of that very strong reverb

Cool, 81Zwut reminded me of the soundtrack of Commander Keen ;) Very nice! Moody!

I should also work with my TG77 to make such a sound.

thanks! renoise is still new to me and i hit a lot of roadblocks and checkpoints, im still waiting to see if i can get my ideas out as clearly and quickly as i can in reaper.

got any choons with that one on?

Really enjoyed that first track. The lo-fi quality didn't bother me at all. It has a nice slinking vibe to it that made me picture a noir crime scene in my head. thanks for sharing.

nice. i dig that first one. maybe the recording out of the headphones has done good for the track, sounds pretty tasty to me!

thanks for the feedback, i like the first one better too, but its all software synths and the second one im using a hardware synth for the first time in some sort of semi serious way, but didnt think it needed its own thread :)

and did you consider using both combined with Rewire? I love Renoise for beats but not so much for synths on which I want to perform a fair amount of parameter automations. So I do those synths in Reaper and run the Renoise beat tracks through Rewire. Works like a charm. Just my two cents.

Nice tracks btw. I got a SYRO feel from the first one ;-) how is a TX81Z to play with? If I remember well it's 4 OP and it's way easier to program if you use a dedicated software? I'd like to replace my DX9 at some point but I'd probably better go for a 6 OP FM synth.

I accomplished the mixdown on the vopm one via Rewire, cause Renoise doesn't want you to mix down until you register :) I think it might take a minute to come up with a workflow, but I do like it. I ought to try it the way you describe though.

I really like Renoise, but it's a bit opaque to the eye when it comes to arranging. I'm trying to make some sort of amends with that.

I love Syro! But I made this arrangement in August :D

The Tx81z is going to take me a while to get used to, it feels kind of limited in terms of getting juicy sounds out of. I like the bells, glockenspiel, toy piano and the paddy string sounds though. In the 81zwut song, i used it with a lot of portamento with a chippy sounding waveform, and that was the most recent way of fucking with it that i discovered, but again im still new at it. im trying to help prod the development of the ctrlr interface for it so its usable for automation. I wanted to get a dx7, then i thought tx7, then Meshgearfox pointed out the TG77 (the rack version of the SY77), and I just found one and I'm in the process of getting it. I fell in love after hearing the below clip and a few other convincing clips on youtube:

thanks for your insights on FM synths. I find hard to chose an appropriate one. I like the DX9 but some things bother me about it : it has just 20 patch memories, I don't really need it's keyboard, programming is kinda irritating (although I guess this has more to do with FM synthesis than the DX9 itself). I'd like to find a good FM synth in a rack format, which you can decently program without using a computer. Possibly with 6 OP but 4 is ok, I mean I'm still far from being a FM wizard. I'm not sure such a synth exists though.

I feel kind of frustrated about FM actually. I definitely want it to be a bigger part of my music installation but I didn't find the right way to really get into it yet, and I thing this has a lot to do with control.
