Routing Devices

Routing Devices

Routing devices route audio channels from one track to another, or even from Renoise to another application or vice versa.

#ReWire-In Device

When running Renoise as ReWire master, you can route other ReWire slave applications into Renoise by using this device. A ReWire slave can be another audio sequencer, but also a softsynth like VSampler or Kontakt. Once the device is selected and the application was opened, both programs time-lines will be synchronized - both programs will run perfectly in sync. MIDI inputs of ReWire devices will then, if available show up as regular devices in Renoises Instrument Properties so you can also automate and trigger the ReWire applications from Renoise.

• Device: The ReWire slave that you would like to load into Renoise. After selecting a device here, many applications will be auto-started, like Reason. If they don't start automatically, then simply launch the program manually as usual. It should then launch up automatically as slave to Renoise.
• Channel: When the device offers more than one audio channel, you can here select it. To route more than one channel from the same slave to Renoise, simply use multiple ReWire-In Devices with the same device.
• Input: Which channel should be routed to Renoise (Left / Right or both). The level meter next to the buttons will show the current input levels.
• Panning: Allows you to pan the input stream to the left or right.
• Volume: Amplifies the input stream.

#Line-In Device

The line-in device can route inputs of your sound-card into Renoise, like from a microphone or line-in jack. This way you can for example hear your voice directly in Renoise, route back MIDI synthesizers that you are triggering with with Renoise, or can listen to your guitar you later on want to record in Renoise.

• Channel: When your soundcard offers more than one input, you can choose a sub channel here. The recording device is set up in the Audio Preferences
• Input: Which channel should be routed to Renoise (Left / Right or both). The level meter next to the buttons will show the current input levels.
• Latency Let Renoise know where the audio stream comes from: live audio source (guitar, vocals) or a Renoise triggered synth that is routed back into Renoise (MIDI Return mode). Depending on the used sources, different latencies have to be applied or corrected.
• Panning: Allows you to pan the input stream to the left or right.
• Volume: Amplifies the input stream.

#Send Device

A send-device internally routs track outputs to send-tracks in Renoise. By routing more than one tracks to the same send-tracks, you can group multiple tracks, can apply the same FX on multiple tracks at once. Send tracks can again be routed into send tracks, so complex routing with endless possibilties are possible.

• Mute/Keep source: Mute Source: The signal gets muted after it was routed to the send track which means you can no longer control it in the given track anymore. Keep Source: The signal stys on the current track as usual, but also gets routed to the send track. See also the Mute/Keep source illustration below.
• Amount: How much of the tracks signal should be sent to the send tracks.
• Receiver:Select the send track you would like to send the audio to here.
