I like Renoise too, especially for sound design projects, it makes the perfect container for a project making samples! All of it is kept nice and neat, and that sample editor is amazing! That’s the main thing I wish was better in SunVox, but I’m not complaining… my favorite part of SunVox is really how complicated you can get when making instruments… it’s almost like having a copy of Synthedit inside a tracker, it’s kind of like the Kontakt of trackers, I haven’t figured out if you can do keyswitching yet, i’m planning on diving into that pretty soon. I won’t be tracking any music anytime soon though, I just got an MPC so I’ll be using that for a while. I’m lying, I have a renoise project i started a couple weeks ago when I found out about charlatan 3, but I’ll be using the MPC most of the time. I’ll track some stuff in sunvox when i finsish the drum synths I’m working on… I think the license agreement on PunchBox(D16) is too restrictive so I’m making my own in SunVox and doing one for for snares as well, and I’ll let people actually use my samples. hell! I’m probably going to give it away for free, I’ve thought about starting a patreon gumroad for my samples, maybe I’d put them there, but honestly I think that’s useless sunvox is so niche i’ll probably just put it up in the forums, lol it’ll probably be the only module there over a megabyte lol I don’t know what the upload limitation is but I’m sure I’ll be way, way past it. Anyway this is a long way off it’s going to take time to get all the samples for it I just now started making them maybe a week ago and I’ve got so many other things I’m working on so it’ll just be something I add to over time once I get the framework up. I’ve got a good start on that. But anyway that’s my whole point about SunVox, I don’t know of many other softwares where you can do something similar and it’s just sitting there built into a tracker. Badass. And wow i didn’t know that about buze… I should give it another look sometime it’s been a really long time since I’ve checked it out… wasn’t that something that came out of buzz? or am i just getting my wires crossed?
And WHAT! I didn’t think I’d ever hear anyone bing up AXS ever again, that was a badass tracker. I always wondered why they stopped developing it. Especially for it’s time it had some amazing capabilities, so much control over the synth in the patterns, I can only imagine what it would have become if they kept going. I didn’t know people were still using it… you got a source for modules besides the few that have been around since the 90’s? I’d give them all a listen. I always thought it’s synth sounded quite good too, great for big beat type of stuff or trance. Not sure about house but I’m guessing it was great for that too. I just didn’t like the pattern editor it was pretty easy to get lost with that small window, I would have like to see a separate page for it, like in klystrack where the whole screen would be the pattern editor if you chose the right page. Honestly if it was like that I would have tracked some tunes in it, when I sat down to track in it I would easily lose the feel for the pattern and have to search for my place too often, there’s just too much available now but back in the day I would have had no choice and i’m guessing it wouldn’t have bothered me very much.
I’m a little embarrased to admit I’ve never once thought about doing per voice distortion, I guess because I’m usually using it on monophonic stuff, but cool, that’s something I’ll definitely explore, thanks!
And yes, I also wish there there were some things different about Renoise, details that I’d like to see fleshed out, but I’m really happy that it exists, you gotta admit tracking would be much more obscure than it is now without it. And I for one, LOVE the interface! It’s very nice to look at, if openMPT was anything like it I’d spend a lot more time in it but i’ll probably only ever use it if I want to mix samples with OPL, I wish every computer still had an FM synth built in, imagine how badass it would be now if they never stopped. The only thing that truly pisses me off about renoise is that they pretty much gave the finger to the demoscene. I don’t know if Tenoise would even exist if the demoscene never happened, I think it would just be the right thing to do to throw them a bone. Why there’s no replay library type of thing for it is beyond me, at least for the sampler, of course you’d have to leave out the VST stuff. But that doesn’t affect me really I don’t make demos but i circle around the scene sometimes. The thing that affects me is sending midi to vst effects is such a pain in the ass I don’t even want to do it, I understand it’s more flexible, but maybe just have the option to just pass the midi from the track to it.
Anyway, good stuff here, thanks for sounding off everyone, it’s good to know it’s not so obscure that no one really knows about it here.
And it’s good to see disagreements getting hammered out here in a civil way. Wow KVR has really come a long way.
