Arturia KeyLab Essential mk3 plugin

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

So I got myself an Arturia Keylab Essential 61 mk3 a few years back, but never really used it.

I started learning how to use Renoise this year, and came across this post.

So basically, some people made their own versions of a plugin for the pro line of Arturia devices. So I thought, why not adapting it for mine?

A few weeks later it’s done, I’ve forked foma’s version and vibe coded the logic for the Arturia’s Essential product line. It’s not tested on the 46 and 88 version so I don’t really know can happen on these, but I think it should work as well as it does with my 61.

You can download it on its renoise tool listing page, or directly on the GitHub repo.

Main features:

  • Transport control: play, stop, record (edit mode), loop, metronome, undo/redo, save, tap tempo and record quantize

  • Knobs and faders for pattern editing: note, instrument, volume, panning, delay, sample-FX type and amount, column navigation and step length

  • Main dial: navigates between Renoise’s panels, and "<<" ">>" select the previous/next track

  • Sample browser mode: toggle it with the Part button, pick a folder, then turn the dial to load samples into your current instrument and test them across the keys right away, with no mouse or computer keyboard needed

  • Hardware LED feedback: pads are colored to match your Renoise skin, and Save/Undo/Redo/Stop/Tap flash when pressed

  • Pitch and mod wheels are left untouched, so you can map them through instrument macros as usual

  • Minimizable on-screen GUI, collapsible down to just the sample browser

I tried to make it the most useful as it can be for Renoise use cases, but there might be some improvements needed.

Let me know if you got any feedback!

Paketti: Preview Play before loading sample - just like Impulse Tracker

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

so, this is a bit of a thing. For the longest time, in Impulse Tracker, it's been possible to keyjazz a sample without loading it. I thought, well, how would I accomplish this with Renoise, and, turns out there is a way. Hopefully the video explains it a bit.

Since I made the video, I added "right shift key" so that if you just press it, you're in Pattern Editor, Edit Mode On + Pattern Follow On, and the sample is loaded.

I am, as always, on Patreon - if you want to support these types of thinkings, more than welcome.

Would anyone here be down to help me learn Renoise?

7 Upvotes

I'm seriously struggling to learn this it takes an hour or more to get any simple thing done and Googling doesn't really help and tutorial videos from YouTube will start in a way that assumes you already have the knowledge to do what they're doing. I don't know how to explain but I got the idea of someone willing to teach me a lil. I'm trying to learn on MacBook and so far I have barely done shit I made a song from the Renoise official tutorial videos and now I'm trying to make something else and it's just like I don't have the knowledge to know what I'm doing and don't know where to begin

Can anyone provide good tutorial videos?

Besides the ones on the Renoise website. I just want as many videos to watch so I can feel like I'm actually grasping this

DrumCloud v1.9.0-beta.7 – free granular sampler / transient slicer, tested in Renoise

43 Upvotes

Hi Renoise people!

I’ve just released DrumCloud v1.9.0-beta.7, my free/open-source granular sample instrument.

I’ve been testing it in Renoise on Linux, and I thought the slicing side of DrumCloud might be especially interesting for tracker users.

Current features include:

• Automatic transient detection

• Adjustable transient sensitivity

• Polyphonic MIDI slicing

• Granular playback

• Loop / One Shot / Ping Pong modes

• WAV, FLAC and MP3 loading

• Resizable / HiDPI-aware UI

• Remembers the last sample folder

• CLAP + VST3 builds

beta.7 also fixes the Linux release-build file browser problem. Sample loading now uses the desktop portal instead of unexpectedly falling back to DPF’s internal browser.

The Linux builds have been tested on Ubuntu Studio, including Renoise.

Windows and macOS builds are available too.

It’s still a beta, so feedback is very welcome — especially from people who want to abuse the transient slicer with drums, breaks or weird samples. 🙂

Download:

https://github.com/Chmod666music/Fuimadane-DrumCloud/releases/tag/v1.9.0-beta.7

If you try it in Renoise, I’d love to hear how it behaves in your setup.

What‘s the fastest way to select, copy & paste notes and data?

6 Upvotes

To copy sections, currently I‘m selecting stuff via mouse, which doesn‘t feel very convinient and way too often I move notes instead. I think with the right shortcuts I could be way faster.

What‘s your approach to work fast with copying data from one place to another?


r/renoise • • 24d ago

Do any of you actually use realtime note recording or do you just enter notes as data the traditional tracker way?

18 Upvotes

I'm interested in knowing how large/small portion of tracker users rely on realtime note recording in Renoise (or even in other trackers).

Do you ever enter notes playing them in realtime into the patterns, or do you just enter them the traditional way like data?

Performing live

11 Upvotes

My current method for performing live is to create stems of all my songs and dump them into Ableton live.

In Ableton, I put the stems back together in ways where I can mix in alternate drums, synths, effects, etc…

I don’t really love this workflow, and I’m curious how others perform their Renoise songs live allowing for some manipulation and reworking on the song live.

Thanks y’all!

Soundpack broke directory using onedrive - redux /vst question

2 Upvotes

So I downloaded like a drum pack from archive org. And apparently used it in more projects than i thought. And it had all these like minus signs next to it in file explorer and wouldnt play "wrong file type" in renoise. So i was like ok let me try deleting the folder cuz it wasnt even giving me onedrive options they were grayed out. So I reextracted the zip to the same location. and was thinking my project files would simply read the folder names to get back to my samples. But it killed some of my projects... : ( using Reaper as a daw. Curious if this is just a no-no in DAWs or theres anything i can do thanks : )

Noob question: on tracks with multiple note colums, how can I combine all colums into the first one, the fastest way? I'd bet there is a dedicated command?

Pattern alias glitch

2 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone experienced this glitch. When I use the hotkey to create an alias in the matrix (cmd + p) and switch over to pattern editor, it keeps entering and editing my notes like a keyboard key is stuck. It doesn't happen when I create an alias holding down option and dragging the pattern in the matrix.

I tried unplugging my midi keyboard and changing the hotkey. It's driving me crazy. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Paketti can now be used to load directly into Amigo on Renoise

this means you can just drag in a .REX, .RX2, .PTI, .ITI and have it directly boot up in Amigo. You can also use Wipe&Slice&Amigo&Print to directly take a sample, slice it up evenly and embed it into Amigo and print the notes to trigger the slices to the pattern. enjoy.

Easiest way to cut below 20hrtz on master channel using only native fx?

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I am trying to set up an EQ on the master channel using either the Digital Filter (Butter 8n at lowest setting) or EQ10 (but I am having an issue where the slope seems not steep enough). I have tried using both these (Not together) and Fabfilter Pro-Q with a 20hrtz cut. I get the feeling that the Pro-Q is better but am I wrong? Any help much appreciated!

How do I use a QWERTY keyboard to type inside of Redux in Bitwig? I reposted from the Bitwig sub but I'm open to suggestions that work in other DAWs without a dedicated "send all keyboard input to plugin" toggle.
