For 1 screen I agree, multiple screens and more juice i`d get the latest.

out of curiosity, y? (i.e., what is it about 2.8.2 that is more favorable to 3.x's)? 

In 2.8.2, everything is perfectly condensed to a single full screen view. Once they started throwing in additional  windows, my workflow and comfort was thrown off big time

Ta, good to know (might go back and try it out). Cheers!

I have no workflow problems with 3.X

Downloaded the 3.2 and trying it out. The timestretch is maybe a feature I'm going to be using in the future.

BTW, now been switching to use Renoise with Reaktor 5 and fuck it I'm seriously overwhelmed by the options and directions I could go..

I have timestretch on 2.8, I installed it years ago.

If you feel overwhelmed by options perhaps give Moonfish a try:

Nice. I've actually experimented with artificially limiting the number of channels to 1 or 2 in Renoise and then switching between the different instruments and effects line by line. It creates kind of an interesting aesthetic when only 1 or 2 instruments can play at the same time. A kind of busy clarity which reminds me of the early '00s Ae.

Anyone how a way to control the pitch of a sample using the automation editor? The effect commands don't give me enough control. Thanks

In 3.x? Sure, make a control for it in the instrument editor (modulation, I think). Then create a macro for that control. Now this macro can be a target for automation, LFOs/metadevices, or commands, and you can offset or fine tune it as you like.

For those that don't frequent the Renoise forum, there is a bugfix release out now.

Registered versions can be downloaded at the Renoise Backstage 8 and demo versions at the Renoise downloads 1 page.

The Renoise 3.3 feature release is not very far away, but things are going steady but slowly here in general these days, so we wanted to get rid of a bunch of pending fixes better sooner than later. Especially the missing “Apple notarization” in older Renoise and Redux releases gets more and more a problem because more people are running OSX Catalina now.

Songs saved with this version are fully compatible with Renoise 3.2.1. Renoise tools are as well, as the Lua API version did not change.

Changes in Renoise 3.2.2 and Redux 1.1.2

Renoise and Redux

• All OSX builds are now signed and notarized to pass Apple OS X’ latest security features

  Please Note: OSX only - as we can no longer integrate the Renoise license into the application you’ll need to locate the Renoise.license file after running Renoise or Redux the first time. It’s part of the tar.gz file that you’ll download from the backstage.

• Retrigger FX issue with Slices
  [fixed 3.2.2] Sliced Sample - Effect Command Issues

• Using combination of RX effects in volume, pan columns and effect columns doesn’t work as expected
  [fixed 3.2.2] Rxy After Rx Does Not Properly Retrigger Sample

• Issue with fadeout command in vol/pan columns with ghost-notes
  [fixed 3.2.2] FadeOut Command in Vol/Pan Columns with "Ghost Notes" not ramping correctly

Renoise only

• Autoseek could overflow and crash when using very large samples which didn’t get turned off explicitly with a note off

• Undo recording a sample with slice markers could sometimes cause a crash

• Switching between folders with lots and files and sub folders should be more responsive now

• Deleting files in the disk browser may fail in newer Linux distributions (“gvfs-trash” is deprecated)
  [fixed 3.2.2] Can't delete files on Linux Manjaro (“gvfs-trash” is deprecated)

• Loading some very old Renoise files on OSX Mojave could lead to a crash
  [fixed 3.2.2] OSX Catalina: crash opening an old XRNS song

• The “Flip” option in automation editor did not adjust custom curve settings
  [fixed 3.2.2] "Flip button” in automation editor does not adjust custom curves

• Last point is not present in automation’s “Process” functions
  [fixed 3.2.2] Last point is not present in automation's "Process" functions

• Pattern split may leave empty “active” automations behind
  [fixed 3.2.2] Pattern split command does not deactivate possibly empty automation in splits

• Lua API: don’t allow setting beat_sync_lines of 0
  [fixed 3.2.2] Problem Renoise or API6: "Beatsync lines" does not allow value 0

• Lua API: phrase shuffle rounding issue
  [fixed 3.2.2] "Unstable" value in phrase.shuffle

• Lua API: Missing Text style property
  [fixed 3.2.2] Problem API with viewbuilder text: "style" property, not available to change

• Lua API: Console hangs/crashes when dumping some VST presetdata
  [fixed 3.2.2] Console hangs/crashes when dumping some VST presetdata

• Lua API: Moving slice markers may update notes incorrectly
  [fixed 3.2.2] Lua 'move_slice_marker' Updates Notes Incorrectly

Redux only

• Keyboard input should work as expected now in Ardour, Mixbus and Reaper on Linux.
  Also, the Redux GUI sometimes didn’t resize correctly in Reaper on Linux
  [fixed 1.1.2] Redux not receiving keyboard events in Ardour and Reaper under Linux
  [fixed 1.1.2] Linux: Redux in Reaper - Keyboard in Phrase Editor not working

• File import dialog sometimes didn’t show up or could crash down hosts when using the awesome window manager

Necrobump. Renoise 3.3 came out. Now does VST3 and sidechaining.

Been playing around with it last week. Such fun. For the first time in my life chopped up an amen break in such a way that it actually made sense.

Also made an Impulse Tracker skin for it for old times’ sake. Surprisingly pleasant to work with.

Cheers @rhmilo Sidechaining!!!! Only took 17 years or whatnot  (I kid I kid). Happy tracking!!!!

You could do a sort of sidechaining with signal follower before, like control gain of an amp on another track.

I guess now you can just use the Sidechain router to send the signal itself to sidechain ports of VSTs or native effects, like compressor.

New version out.

Renoise 3.4 and Redux 1.3:

ARM support for MacOS (on Apple Silicon) and Linux (Raspberry Pi), MacOS Metal rendering, Windows WASAPI driver support, Ableton Link support (all platforms).

https://forum.renoise.com/t/renoise-3-4-0-redux-1-3-0-released/66685

Raspberry Pi support is big news.  I've already been thinking about getting a decent size touchscreen and cobbling together a dedicated, tracker-oriented little music computer with that, a Raspberry Pi 4 I already own, a compact point-of-sale keyboard I already own, a Hifiberry I already own, and a few other things - shared power supply for everything, MIDI interface, maybe panel-mount USB and full size HDMI ports) all stuck in a wooden box.  This pretty much seals the deal.  Since I already have a lot of the parts the whole project should be around $200 if I use a 10" display, a lot less if I use something smaller.

I'll try installing it on one of my PI3s to see how it performs.

Would the Renoise GUI make sense on a touch screen, though?

Sounds tricky, I would have the Keyboard. 

This sounds optimal for my RPI 400

I'd be using it entirely from a keyboard, the touchscreen would just be there so  wouldn't need a trackpad or mouse or anything for those times where they can't be avoided.

Probably one of these, with some macros programmed on the extra keys. I haven't had a chance to test it with the Rasperry Pi or anything yet, just picked it up the other day.

Mine's French, though, because that's what I happened to find cheap.

 I wonder if it would work with this

6 in/8 out audio would be really nice to have.
