I cannot BELIEVE how I didn't know about the 'right-click to randomise values' option, insane! No matter how long you have been using Renoise there is always an insanely good feature you will have missed. Thank you!
After loving Octamed on the Amiga, when I was younger, I am slowly getting back into making music. I've tried a number of modern piano scroll options, but I just couldn't get over the initial hurdle of adapting my brain to work in a different way (I'm now in my mid' 40's). So I tried Renoise, and it made sense to me from the start in the way the fundamental structure works. I'm starting to delve a little deeper and, while I have to stop and play around to learn, it comes to me quickly and doesn't feel like a chore. These continued uploads are fantastic, and it might be one single thing said in a tutorial, or showcase like this, that overtly floods my mind with creative ways to manipulate what is being explained and turning that understanding - and applying that understanding - in creative ways that are outside of initial intent. I'm beginning to think that if all you have is a hammer (Renoise), all your problems don't look like nails: But rather something that can be bent (manipulated) into whatever you need.
I grew up on traditional piano roll DAWs, but I found adjusting to Renoise easy and fun. I unexpectedly find myself frustrated to go back to more common DAWs because I no longer feel as fluid as I do in a tracker environment.
Another ex-Amiga amateur musician here. I'm in my early 50's and also never got really comfortable with a sideways piano roll. Although I used Music-X on the Amiga and later Cakewalk I was predominantly a big fan of tracked music as used in the demoscene, made using Soundtracker, FastTracker, Scream Tracker, etc, so that's what I used myself until adult life and work got into the way. I knew about Renoise for a couple of years but only recently revisited it, and bought the damn thing. Very happy I did so far :)
@@bartlx Ahh... So great to hear. The demoscene was a big part of my younger working years. I remember writing a cheque and sending it off in the post for a Technosound Turbo sampler. Possibly in the top 10 first items I bought with money I actually went out and earned. :)
I don't understand the random behavior with overlapping keyzones-- How is a round-robin sequence random? In practice it does appear to be random, but in that case I don't know what round-robin means here, isn't that the same as cycle? I vaguely remember in Csound that all the psuedorandom generators used a definable seed and LFOs started their phases from zero or a specified point, so even with tons of randomness in the patch it would be repeatable. With renoise I use LFOs on everything and each render is subtly different. Sometimes it's a matter of just running it over and over until I get one I like. But I wish you could just define the seeds and phases so once you have something you like it will always render that way.
01:00 had a good laugh ... 02:39 "certainly fit's the bell?" man, i love a good accidental dry humor. what is your accent btw.? renoise is just SICK. mad love

well explained! great showcase for how versatile randomization techniques are in renoise as pretty much all of'em get covered in less than 7 minutes.
Exactly just what I needed, awesome video

@@bonchbonch So true.

Thanks ❤
this one is so deep
you thank

Scottish accent without a doubt
