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 may have to configure them with the Plugin Compatibility Settings. If you can't find your plugins in the Track DSP list, then please have a look at the Plugin Preferences section.


Plugin Effect Layout and Options

Besides the usual track effect options, plugin effects may have a few extra options:


Plugin Compatibility Settings

This dialog will appear after clicking on the "?" button in the VST Instrument Properties section after a plugin is loaded.

In most cases these options will already have the correct settings, as Renoise comes with a database which sets the defaults for you. If you are experiencing any of the problems described in the dialog, then you might want to try altering the settings.


Sending Notes to Plugin Effects

Most plugin effects do not support notes or other MIDI events. Those that do, use them to control more advanced features, such as vocoders. Other possible uses include preset or parameter switching with notes or sending MIDI CC messages to plugins. This is only possible with Audio Units and VST plugins. LADSPAs on Linux do not support this feature.

You can also send notes and other MIDI events to effect plugins via FX alias instruments. For more information, take a look at Plugin Effect Aliases in the Instrument Settings.
