Plugin Effects
VST/AU/LADSPA Effects
Non-native effects (VST plugins) can have their own editor and extra effects.
There will be a few extra buttons:
- File:Vvoois renoise effect expand parameter frame.s.png - Expands parameters from VST plugin as slider set into the frame.
- File:Vvoois renoise effect editor.s.png - Opens the plugin’s original editor.
- File:Vvoois renoise vst info.s.png - Shows various information about the plugin.When hovering above it, a tooltip will be displayed with the plugin’s current information:
when clicking it, an option dialogue appears showing you applicable 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.

If you right-click the green icon to the right of the parameter-slider, you get a context-menu:

The open envelope-editor option will jump to the track-automation panel.
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.
