![]() ![]() I find this to be far less tedious than dragging, copying, and tweaking tiny midi blocks on a piano roll. It’s almost like using a hardware sequencer as you quickly input notes by using the arrow keys to go to the line you want and then use your computer or MIDI keyboard to place notes on that line. Trackers also rely heavily on computer keyboard shortcuts and while at first glance it seems daunting, trackers have an extremely intuitive workflow for sequencing MIDI and sample-oriented music once you're accustomed to the interface. In a tracker, you place notes vertically to create patterns and then arrange these patterns to create your song, somewhat similar to Ableton Live’s Session View. Before that, I used trackers like Buzz for a decade as well as more traditional DAWs such as Reaper on occasion. I’ve owned Renoise for over 2 years and it’s been my sequencer of choice for that duration. Furthermore, the community has a heritage of sharing their song project files, which you can play back inside Renoise and see everything that was done to produce the song. ![]() Not only does the website have a fully documented wiki that covers every function, there’s also a free official tutorial video series that walks you through the creation of a song. It’s important to note that Renoise only allows you to have 2 folders designated for your plugins which can be a problem if you don’t have all of your plugins installed in only 2 folders. After installation, configuration is straightforward-You setup your plugin folders, and ASIO/MIDI devices in the preferences menu and then you’re ready to go. Installation is a snap, with no dongles or online authentication license managers. Renoise is available for Windows, OS X, and Linux. ![]()
