Hopefully because they don’t have any delay, but in cases where there is latency, this is due to the fact that the plugin itself does not support delay reports or worse, the plugin reports a false delay and so Renoise can not properly compensate the delay.You can manually add a delay factor in the mixer or in the Master volume device of the track to manually compensate the delay if you can figure out which plugin causes a non-supported delay and what delay-rate has to be applied.'''Bypassing plugins that will create a delay'''Plugins that are bypassed will create the same delay as when they are not bypassed. We had to do this, because changes in the delays nearly always result in clicks because of changed compensation delays in other tracks.

VST/AU/LADSPA Effects

Plugin effects (VSTs on windows, VSTs or Audio Units on OSX, VSTs or LADSPAs on Linux) can be added and used just like other Track DSPs in Renoise, but you maybe first have to configure them in Renoise preferences. if you can't find your plugins in the Track DSP list in Renoise, then please have a look at the Plugin Preferences first.

Plugin Effect Layout and Options

Beside of the usual options in every track effects, plug-in effects may have a few extra options:

When clicking the ? button an option dialogue will show up which allows you to set up some compatibility options for the plugin.

Plugin Delay Compensation

If you have the PDC button enabled on the right-top corner of Renoise, all plugins (VSTI or VST-Effect) will be compensated *if* they report their proper delay. In a lot of cases, plugins do not report their delay. Hopefully because they don’t have any delay, but in cases where there is latency, this is due to the fact that the plugin itself does not support delay reports or worse, the plugin reports a false delay and so Renoise can not properly compensate the delay.You can manually add a delay factor in the mixer or in the Master volume device of the track to manually compensate the delay if you can figure out which plugin causes a non-supported delay and what delay-rate has to be applied.Bypassing plugins that will create a delayPlugins that are bypassed will create the same delay as when they are not bypassed. We had to do this, because changes in the delays nearly always result in clicks because of changed compensation delays in other tracks.

Sending Note data to effect plugins

Since Renoise v2.0, sending note data to effect plugins is possible by creating an alias instrument from the effects being used in the song.Renoise cannot detect whether a plugin does or does not support it (except for the native DSP effects), but it allows you to create an alias for each VST effect that you have added to any of the main tracks.

To add a VST fx alias, go to the Instrument Settings panel on the lower frame, then open the VST instruments list of the VST instrument Properties panel. Expand the “VST FX Alias” node and select the effect that you want to send notes to.
