  • Video tutorials
    As some may have noticed also upon the board, the downloadable content contains a link to a page where you can download our beginners tutorials. This is just the beginning and it will be extended during the upcoming future.
    I will not give any time-path at which moment what will be released, when a new release is ready for download you will find the notice up here or on the community forum.

  • Offline documentation update
    Both HTML as well as the PDF documentation has been updated. The Current PDF edition seems to work out better on MacOS platforms.

  • Mac OSX update
    If you experience the problem that Renoise doesn’t run anymore after upgrading your OSX platform to 10.4, updates of the demo edition are in the download section of the Renoise site. Registered users, please visit the user-pages for an update as this resolves the crashing problem upon startup.

  • More PDF documentation issues / tips
    It seems that the current PDF documentation online creates rubbish characters in MacOSX environments. There are two ways to resolve this problem, one is install Adobe Acrobat instead of using the embedded OS PDF viewer. The other one is create one by yourself by printing the complete survey from within Internet Explorer to the embedded OSX PDF creator. For Windows users, a GPL open-source edition of PDFcreator can be downloaded from the sourceforge pages. For those who want to maintain an offline version of the HTML pages (which is more complete) the used tool for this is HTTrack which allows you to download all links from within the survey and update only renewed pages afterwards.

  • PDF documentation online
    The PDF documentation is online, there are a few remarks to make however:
    From the animated gifs a random still-image has been picked by the PDF generator and furthermore deeplinks are not taken into the PDF documentation. Advantage of the PDF edition however is that you can print it on paper without having broken images across pages. For the full and live documentation we advise you to download the HTML edition. For a printable version, the PDF version works out much better.

  • Documentation for off-line reference now available
    We have an off-line browseable package in ready for you to download: HTML Documentation (12.5MB) Δ.
    The documentation is a HTML compilation of the complete survey available on the bottom of the side-menu. We’re also busy compiling a PDF edition of the html documentation which will be much more suitable for printing.
    As soon as there is more news about that, we’ll let you know it here and on the Renoise download pages.

  • Major tutorial site upgrade.
    Though it may not seem very obvious at first, some drastic changes have been applied to this site.
    The image uploading method has been changed (a password is required, which is just “upload”)
    and image scaling is applied. (if the image has been scaled, the images becomes the link to the
    original sized image). Also your current navigation will be indicated in the sidemenu border if you are
    currently visiting the particular section of the site. Lot’s of other things have been changed as well.
    Please pay attention to the Wiki documents as lots of formatting methods
    are involved in the changes.
    The next new thing is we have welcomed Tim Farmer in our team to sweep around the writings so you
    may see his name pop up here and there sometimes.

  • Renoise RC1 goes live….
    Download the latest version.
    Registered users should note they now require the installation of the RC1 demo prior to download
    and upgrading the registered edition. This edition will be patched upon your name only.
    If no more serious bugs pop up, this RC1 will be turned into the final version of 1.5 so the dev-team
    can move on and start adding new stuff.

  • The Renoise Dev-team wishes everybody a Merry Christmas and a fortunate new-year!
  • Renoise Beta 3 has been released for download…
    Mostly bugfixing this times.
    The only new thing are two new shortcut keys. (The short-cut key section has been updated, new keys are marked).
    They are not automaticly assigned yet, but this can be done manually in the keyboard/mouse configuration menu
    inside Renoise.

  • Renoise Beta 2 has been released for download… Here’s the most important part of the debug-snippet:

Beside all the as [fixed] marked topics, there is one big change in the VST implementation, that should hopefully
solve the rest of the VST compatibility probs: All VST instruments (not effects!) have now the
“mNeedsStaticProcessingBuffer” option in the CachedVst.xml file enabled by default.
I gave up the hope that we could sort out the plugs that behave buggy with variable buffersizes..

So please re-test all the reported issues in the VST-Bug section, and let us know if this release fixed
the problems that are still open.
