Renoise, Reaktor File Versioning and the Joy of Human Readable File Formats
While trying to open an old project file I ran into an issue. Since Monark is an Ensemble provided by Native Instruments as part of Komplete I was surprised. I was even more surprised to find the file in the exact path given by the error message. Trying to select the file revealed what the real problem is: “This file […]

Shades of Purple
Growing tired of the usual light and dark themes for code editors I have recently stumbled on a fantastic theme for Visual Studio Code. “Shades of Purple — A professional theme with hand-picked & bold shades of purple to go along with your VSCode” Inspired by boredom or madness I decided to see if I could create a matching theme […]
Renoise – Config.xml
Recently I needed to enable developer mode in Renoise in order to use Lua scripting. You can do this by launching the Renoise executable with the argument “–scripting-dev”. The downside to this is that the developer tools will only be enabled for that session. If you would like to permanatly enable these tools you need to edit your Renoise Config.xml […]
Disquiet Junto 0354: Rush Toward The Flame
My submission for Disquiet Junto project 354: Rituals and Canticles. More information on the project at: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0354-rituals-canticles/16775 Uses samples of instruments built and recorded by Nathan Moody My process on this one was pretty straightforward. I chopped and repurposed the samples that Nathan provided in Renoise. I recorded some vocal breathes and dug into my library for additional percussion samples.
Formula Breakdown
Yesterday I wrote a post about the Formula Device in Renoise. I kept things pretty high level and assumed a background in programming. This approach lead to some questions so I am going to attempt to break the concept down a little further. Set Your Destination The destination routing controls where the output of formula device will be sent. For this […]
Tracking Formulas
I’ve long been a fan of Renoise for the amount of control you have over every aspect of your sound. The meta devices are a key tool to utilize that control. Using these you can create, mix and route control signals within your effects chain. In many respects they are analogous to control voltage signals within a modular synth. Today while looking […]
Disquiet Junto 0194: Within My Means
Disquiet Junto Project 0194: Clock PlayRecord the sound of a clock and make something playful and sweet out of it.

Renoise to Supercollider (via Reaktor and OSC)
Anyone who has read my blog knows how much I love both Supercollider and Renoise but the two have always occupied two different areas of my workflow. I have decided it was finally time to start combining the strengths of the two. Supercollider is amazing for sound design and renoise is a very good sequencer. NOTE: Despite the Renoise focus […]

MaYbe Not
In the release notes for the new beta of Renoise 3.0 there is something that immediately caught my eye. “A new effect command is the MaYbe command (0Yxx). It can be put into a note column or an effect column, and will allow you to trigger a note/line with a certain probability, or to define multiple notes and trigger just […]
