Template Song

A Template Song is a special song file used as the initial composing environment when Renoise is launched or when creating a new song. Without a template a new song is completely blank with eight standard tracks and one Send track. To have something different from this, make your desired changes, then save it as a template by selecting from the main menu: "File -> Save As Template Song".

The changes that can be made in the template are the same things that are saved within a song file:

Track types, number, order, name and color.
Notes and Effect Commands.
Pattern Sequencing.
Track Effects and Graphical Automation.
Instruments and everything contained within them.
Song Options, Song Comments and MIDI Mapping.

To delete the saved template, making new songs blank again, choose "File -> Delete Template Song". It’s also possible to bypass the Template Song and use a blank one instead, without having to delete the template, by selecting "File -> New Song (no Template)".
