As the name suggests, these effects modify the shape of the waveform passing through them. The Distortion and Cabinet Simulator devices focus on making changes to the signal vertically, while the LofiMat applies restrictions to both the vertical and horizontal planes. All three feature separate Dry and Wet Mix sliders for complete control over the volume of the original and altered audio.
Feedback Device – Idea For A New Renoise Effect
Saturday March 25th 2023
An idea for a feedback effect in Renoise & Redux that’s similar to what’s possible in electric guitar effects chains, taking inspiration from existing devices like the Delay, Send & Repeater.
Analog & Digital Filters
Thursday March 23rd 2023
Audio filters manipulate the frequency spectrum, sometimes for functional, mixing purposes and sometimes for purely artistic reasons. We’ve previously looked at the EQ devices which tend to use filtering for the former, and the Comb Filter which concentrates on the latter. Now let’s take a look at the Analog and Digital Filters, which can do a bit of both.

There’s a couple of easily overlooked tools in the Renoise Waveform section that can help with editing out certain issues that can crop up in recorded narration.

I created a tool to export Renoise song data into Unreal Engine 4 and also documented a couple of other ways of connecting them along the way. This video collects together several videos created during this process that mostly went unseen.
Ghost Notes Extras
Friday February 24th 2023
The Ghost Notes video came out a couple of years ago, but some ideas were left out for the sake of brevity and clarity, since it was already a potentially confusing subject. This video takes a close look at those points
Narration Song
Friday February 17th 2023
A quick look at the Renoise tool I created to automate the building of a song from recorded narration. This is especially time saving when dealing with necessary edits after the initial renders.
New Music, Old Issues
Friday February 3rd 2023
Bringing forward an old riff into new music creates an issue, which reminds me about problems with certain ways of generating sounds. This is demonstrated in various versions of Renoise, going back to v1.9.
Compression In Renoise
Thursday January 26th 2023
This video is an accompaniment to the Compression video released on the official Renoise channel. In it I ramble on without a script while trying to keep things technically accurate with regards to the Renoise compressors.
