In an instrument when you assign a sample to a Modulation Set and an FX Chain, normally you’re stuck with the choice you’ve made. However, by employing a bit of ingenuity, there’s a couple of ways around this.

A Renoise playthrough of the first track from the EP ‘The Music Makes Us Do It’, in glorious 4K 60fps.

Here’s five more lesser-known movies and hopefully you’ll find something worth checking out.

I finally managed to finish and release the new EP in time for Halloween. It includes a vastly improved version of my Mutant Breaks 13 entry. Available now on Bandcamp.

An accompanying video for the new EP, The Music Makes Us Do It, demonstrating how I mangle sounds by combining fast, short sample loops with the LoFiMat’s sample rate restriction.

Shaping sounds with an envelope has been a common feature of audio production since the early days of hardware synthesizers. In Renoise and Redux, the Envelope device provide you the ability to create complex multi-stage envelopes.

The ‘Automation Within An Instrument’ video demonstrated that phrases could be used to automate effects whenever a note is played. In this video we’ll look at another method using a dummy waveform.

An old video has been updated & improved. During a song’s playback, triggered notes can be cut short by the Note-Off command. For samples this can trigger any or all of these three things: End Sample Loop, Modulation Sustain & Release and Sample Note-Off Layer.

Is it possible to procedurally generate the actual song structure using nothing more than the native Renoise effects? Let’s find out.

It’s possible to create complex instruments and music without ever touching the Keyzones section of the Sampler. However, if you want to control how different samples are played across a range of notes and velocities then that instrument will need to make use of Keyzones.
