| Renoise Live Sequence Player | ||
| _Renoise Live Sequence Player_ | ||
|
|
||
| ## What is it? | ||
|
|
||
| This is a tool to use Renoise as an advanced sequencer that you can use for live performances. It's heavily inspired on | ||
| sequencers from existing grooveboxes, which means it's always a pattern on loop. You can set different conditions on | ||
| how a pattern behaves in a loop with the `Lxxx`-effects, that both apply to columns and tracks. | ||
|
|
||
| ## How does it work? | ||
|
|
||
| The plugin is accessible under `Tools > Live`, and basically does the following: | ||
|
|
||
| - The **only** pattern that is every playing is pattern **0**. | ||
| - The tool copy/pastes the source pattern the pattern 0 every time a loop has ended or when a fill / transition is triggered. | ||
| - It is during this copy/paste event that `Lxxx`-effects are processed and your pattern is mutated. | ||
|
|
||
| This basically means that you need to use Renoise in a slightly different way than you're used to: | ||
|
|
||
| - Don't put stuff in pattern 0: it **will** get overwritten by this tool. | ||
| - It's pretty useless to play a pattern outside of the live tool, because the `Lxxx`-conditions are only triggered when you start your project from the Live-tool (e.g. all notes will be triggered at once). | ||
| - It **is** possible to live edit: just start the live tool, navigate to the pattern you want to edit and start editing. Just be aware that at all times it's pattern 0 that is playing, and your work will only be copy/pasted/processed to pattern 0 the moment the pattern stops. | ||

||
| ## Features | ||
|
|
||
| Effects: | ||
|
|
||
| - Note triggers | ||
| - !1st pattern only | ||
| `LT00` | ||
| - nth pattern only | ||
| `LTn0` | ||
| - Play every xth pattern after y runs | ||
| `LTyx` | ||
| `LT21` : Triggers the first pattern after 2 runs (`2:1`) | ||
| `LT33` : Triggers the third pattern after 3 runs (`3:3`) | ||
| - Inverted (Don't play every xth pattern after y runs) | ||
| `LIyx` | ||
| `LI21` : Triggers the first pattern after 2 runs (`2:1`) | ||
| `LI33` : Triggers the third pattern after 3 runs (`3:3`) | ||
| - Fills | ||
| - Only play when not having a fill | ||
| `LF00` | ||
| - Only play when transitioning to another pattern | ||
| `LF01` | ||
| - Automatically set next pattern | ||
| - `LNxx` : Go to pattern `xx` (in dec) | ||
| - Start track muted | ||
| - `LM00` | ||
| - `LMxx` : Unmute after `xx` runs (in dec) | ||
| This tool adds the following effects to the pattern editor: | ||
|
|
||
| - The following effects are applicable to both **columns** and **tracks**: | ||
| - Note triggers | ||
| - !1st pattern only | ||
| `LT00` | ||
| - nth pattern only | ||
| `LTn0` | ||
| - Play every xth pattern after y runs | ||
| `LTyx` | ||
| `LT21` : Triggers the first pattern after 2 runs (`2:1`) | ||
| `LT33` : Triggers the third pattern after 3 runs (`3:3`) | ||
| - Inverted (Don't play every xth pattern after y runs) | ||
| `LIyx` | ||
| `LI21` : Triggers the first pattern after 2 runs (`2:1`) | ||
| `LI33` : Triggers the third pattern after 3 runs (`3:3`) | ||
| - Fills | ||
| - Only play when not having a fill | ||
| `LF00` | ||
| - Only play when transitioning to another pattern | ||
| `LF01` | ||
| - Start column/track muted | ||
| - `LM00` | ||
| - `LMxx` : Unmute after `xx` runs (in dec) | ||
| - The following effects are applicable to **only tracks**: | ||
| - Automatically set next pattern | ||
| - `LNxx` : Go to pattern `xx` (in dec) | ||
|
|
||
| ## Ideas | ||
|
|
||
| This is a rough lists of ideas that I want to add to this plugin in the future: | ||
|
|
||
| - Get text from song and translate to instructions per pattern | ||
| - Support for multi-column tracks | ||
| - Add mute / unmute buttons to UI | ||
| - Queue mute / unmute | ||
| - When queueing mute, do play the first note before muting | ||
| - Add fill button to UI | ||
| - So you can trigger a fill without a transition | ||
| - Add trig condition that only plays on the first pattern after a fill | ||
| - suggestion: `LF02` | ||
| - Add trig condition that doesn't plays on the first pattern after a fill | ||
| - suggestion: `LF03` | ||
| - Stutter / randomize track | ||
| - Have tracks of different length | ||
| - Due to the way how Renoise works, the pattern length will always be the length, but adding a cutoff-point can make this work. | ||
| - Suggestion: `LC00`. | ||
| - Set pattern play count | ||
| - When a next pattern is queued, make sure that the pattern plays a full x cycles. For example: a 16-bar pattern you might always want to play 4 times, but you already want to queue it on the first play. | ||
| - Fill will be triggered in the last rotation. | ||
| - UI should indicate how many rotations are left. | ||
| - Suggestion: `LP04` = 4 plays | ||
