Adding modulation to samples greatly expands the possibilities of their sound beyond the original audio. If you’re unfamiliar with the Modulation section, this video shows the basics of constructing envelopes, using presets and Sets.

I figured out a way to work around using the LFO so that the Effect Stepper does not have its previous limitation. There’s also a way to replace the Formula with an ‘LFO-Stepper’, though this method is still limited.

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.
