Recording / Editing Pattern Data In Renoise
Recording and editing are both done in the same situation and this may be a bit confusing at first, i shall start with the most obvious one which is just editing / manipulate data in the pattern editor...
Turn on pattern edit mode
Press the [Esc] key on your keyboard or click the record button in the player controls (highlighted icon in the square)
A red border (emphasized) appears around the pattern editor indicating that any form of input will be registered / modified at the cursor position...
You can now add/edit notes and values by hand or by keyboard.
Recording a pattern-sequence during song/pattern play: Press [Esc], then [Right Alt] for pattern record or [Right Ctrl] for song
You can now record notes (polyphonic/single notes) into the track your cursor is currently located in using the keyboard.
Note that pressing [Right Shift] will instantly start song sequence record mode (sequence mode and songplay will be triggered at once).
For more precise details read below and click any highlightable link for definition-details.
Though Renoise currently does not have a piano-roll, you can still record live notes in it. You can record note-delays, which gives you more space to have your keystrokes recorded more naturally. If this pattern edit mode is set to on, keystrokes that fall on a moment somewhere between the start and end of the playing row, the note-strike of the row will be recorded along with the delay-factor it was recorded to ensure the strike starts precisely at the moment you have hit it.
Still setting a higher speed can improve precision of recording, but is no longer a nessessary evil like it was required in the past. Today, you will be able to manually set the LPB in the player controls. The possible PPQ factor will be LPB x 256 (with the new delay column that is your resolution), for instance: This allows you a ppq of 4096 when setting this LPB value to 16.
Polyphonic recording vs. Single note-sequence recording
How to record Sequentially?
- First turn on Edit Mode ().
- Toggle the Chord-button to Off ().
When Renoise is in edit-mode and your pattern or sequence is being played, your keystrokes are recorded sequentially. If you press a full chord on your (MIDI)keyboard, all notes will be inserted in a sequential order, in this way you can quickly create an arpeggio with one stroke on your (MIDI)keyboard.
How to record polyphonically?
- First turn on Edit Mode ().
- Toggle the Chord-button to On ().
When Renoise is in edit-mode and your pattern or sequence is being played, your polyphonic keystrokes are recorded automaticly.
Manual chord insertion
If you want to insert a chord into the pattern editor while edit-mode is on but your track is currently not in play-mode, there are two methods you can follow:
- Press and hold your key while you press another key sequentially, but keep it simultaneously pressed with the previous striked keys. Release all keys when you are holding the full desired chord to advance to the next row.
- Keep the left shift-key pressed, then strike your chord at the line you want it to insert. Release the shift-key to make Renoise advance to the next edit-step position.
