New Note Action
NNA or New Note Action is a feature that sets the action to be done when a new note has to be played while the previous note is still playing, both in the same track. In the past a new note initialised in the same track caused the previous note to be cut-off instantly. NNA adds an option to bring in a more natural behaviour and resolving that problem.
You can choose to make it either:
- Cut the previous note before playing the new one
- Make it send a note-off to the previous note.
- Continue the previous note, this means it will play either until the end of the sample or as long as the instrument envelope allows the instrument to play (if the sample is looped).
The amount of simultaneous voices per note-column for Renoise internal instruments is 6 samples at the same time. (This is 72 notes per channel if 12 note-columns are used). Keep this in mind when setting large sustain lengths on your instrument envelopes.
Since Renoise 1.9, NNA is allowed to be set per sample instead of per instrument.
