  • Lua API changes were made.

New in Renoise 2.7.1 (Jun 7, 2011)

  • Minor fixes.

New in Renoise 2.7.0 (May 13, 2011)

  • A sample Keyzone editor.
  • Sample slicing.
  • Improved automation.
  • Redesigned instruments.
  • MIDI input routing.
  • Real-time line-in rendering.
  • Multiband send device.

New in Renoise 2.6.1 (Dec 20, 2010)

  • A minor autoseek bug was fixed.
  • A problem with Renoise saving some 24-bit FLAC files incorrectly on Linux x64_64 was fixed.
  • A few other Lua API related fixes were made.

New in Renoise 2.6 (Nov 5, 2010)

  • New context menu entries and keyboard shortcuts (think "My Improved Pattern Jump", "My Bypass all DSP Devices in Track", "My Generate Chip Sound Sample" commands and so on). A similar concept to the extensions in Mozilla's Firefox.
  • Custom graphical user interface elements with the look and feel of Renoise itself. Perfectly integrate your tools with Renoise and make them easy to use for others too.
  • Manipulate the Renoise main window or the song (patterns, tracks, instruments, anything that makes up a song). Generate, filter, or process song data in any way you can think of, e.g. for algorithmic composition, instrument creation, automation etc. The sky is the limit.
  • Help us create official features by prototyping your ideas, finetune them with the aid of the community and hopefully see them integrated into the core feature set of a future Renoise release.
  • Fully optional (no need to use it, when you don't need it)
  • Ability to mute parts of your song, without the need to create new patterns, also useful when playing livesets to develop patterns in real time (create full arrangements or "drafts" from a single pattern with just a few clicks)

New in Renoise 2.5 (Mar 5, 2010)

  • The Renoise Pattern Matrix, both a bird's eye view and a song editor, is the missing link that pushes Renoise's unique approach to music composition to the next level. It's the perfect companion to the "eyes on the details" appearance and capabilities of the Pattern Editor.
  • Renoise meta-devices (FX units that receive and transform parameters and other non-audio data) are now interconnectable across tracks. This opens the door to more modular approaches, like linking LFOs or key/audio signals all throughout your mix. Two new meta-devices round-up this "do anything" experience, giving the sound artist the freedom to connect and modulate all parameters with all others.
  • That's just the beginning. Vastly improved MIDI mapping, automated rendering of plugin instruments to samples, a native guitar & bass amp simulator FX, performance optimizations, GUI improvements

New in Renoise 2.1.0 (May 27, 2009)

  • Jack Transport Support (Linux only)
  • Similar to ReWire, Renoise now supports the Jack transport protocol. Jack transport allows Linux users to start/stop reposition multiple audio programs, all connected/running through Jack.
  • New Pattern Sequencer Features:
  • Decoupled Sequencer Playback Now Possible:
  • This new feature allows the user to detach the current playback position from the edit position. This lets you edit a pattern while other patterns are playing.
  • To decouple the sequencer, simply turn off the "Pattern Follow" option, which will then decouple the pattern editor & sequencer.
  • Those who don't want this new behavior by default, can disable it in the GUI preferences pane. The "Pattern Follow" Option will then only detach the playback position in the Pattern Editor.
  • Live Pattern Triggering:
  • Patterns can now be "scheduled" for playback via a new column in the Pattern Sequencer. Without stopping playback you can now trigger new sequences in the song "in real time". The new column should be more or less self-evident.
  • For those who don't want to use the mouse, there are also two new related shortcuts:
  • Play/Switch to the currently edited Sequence -> Control + Shift + Space
  • Schedule the currently edited Sequence Pos for Playback -> Control + Space (exchange "Control" with "Command" on OSX)
  • New meta devices (Modulation / Automation Device fun)
  • Hydra Device
  • Automate/change/broadcast multiple FX parameters with a single parameter. Think of this as a magic slider, which connects itself to up to 9 other parameters - allowing you to change multiple settings with just one slider or automation.
  • Keytracking Device
  • Modulates parameters depending on an instruments key (note) value. Like what the "*Velocity Device" does with Velocities, the Keytracking device does with Keys/Notes.
  • MIDI Control Device
  • This device replaces the old "MIDI-CC Device", finally offering Pitchbend, Channel Pressure, Program Change & regular controller (CC) in a single device.
