Your tutorials are so well explained and helpful. I just bought renoise and I don't understand why I left trackers 20 years ago. It all clicks with me so well. I also now understand why the Elektron sequencer clicks with me so well, as it has a lot of similarities. And your work is fantastic. I also feel that the renoise community is one of the most friendly, welcoming and helpful I have seen in a long time. So thank you for making this fantastic content. Just, at the risk of coming over rude; when you flipped the major to minor in the step modulation, I first thought the second last note is off by half. Instead of w-h-w-w-h-h, it's w-h-w-w-h-w+h-h. I found that pleasant soundin. Turns out this is not the natural but the harmonic minor scale. I'll use that more often. Thank you! ^^ much
Hey, so glad you're enjoying these and getting something out of them! I was wondering if someone would catch that it was harmonic minor! It's a great scale and probably my favorite minor scale, although melodic minor is also pretty cool. Cheers :)
Cool cool, so many new things learned from this video. One question though, you do some cutoff stuff via a macro, that you then control with a doofer doing some randomized perlin noise LFO. What's the difference/upside to this, compared with just adding an LFO directly to the instrument modulation?
Good question. The random lfo in the instrument modulation section is a sample and hold style lfo, so it makes hard cuts between values. If (as we do in this case) want smooth transitions between values, we need something like that (pseudo) perlin noise lfo that I show. IF the instrument modulation section filter had an inertia parameter, we could use that with a sample and hold lfo to get smooth transitions. but it doesn't, so I do it this way instead. lmk if that all makes sense. peace
@@MrZensphere yeah definitely! i made an entire album based on the granulator video because i was so inspired! posted it on the autechre subreddit! and yeah, renoise is awesome, so many possibilities! i started studying audio engineering this week, and i hooe to get more and more into everything like that, but especially making my own plugins!
Around 12:15 you slap a macro doofer on the track and it gets assigned to the LP freq macro on top left. This goes over my head and I can't make it work (internal macro modulation, i.e., assigning an LFO to the top left macro). You say it's from your Gumroad? Happy to pick it up there and drop a tip if that helps - it's killing me that I can't figure that one out :D
Just assign them to macros in the modulation section (or fx section if you want a separate filter sweep) and use the instrument macros device on the track. In the automation section of pattern matrix and sequencer use the assigned macros to write automation

This is so cool ,I don't even have renoise but I'm thinking of definitely getting it, that acid sounds amazing reminds me of cylob
Thanks! Cylob is dope and so is renoise. Definitely worth getting, or at least try the demo. Some of the most fun music software out there, imo
@@MrZensphere yeah I love a bit of cylob I saw him play live in London in the early 2000's
This was honestly so badass! Thanks for creating this! Aceeeeed
Yeah man! Glad you dig! Aceeed 🧪🙃
This is so cool and very well explained. Thanks
sounds like aphex twin. this is great
Thanks dad 👍
You're welcome, son. Make sure you do your homework before you go out and play ;)
Do you wear sun glasses when using renoise? ;-)
Fr lmao
Cool

@@MrZensphere ohh right, I understand! Thanks for explaining :)
you always have really nice idea, i also really enjoyed your granulator video, really amazing content i am happy thank you
Hey, you're welcome! Glad you're getting something out of them. Renoise is fun :D

@@climbing_thomas dope! Post a link to the album or thread here, please. Autechre was my fav for a long time in the 90s and 00s
is there a way to do this with Midi information to send to an exernal synth? like a td-3?
so i need to buy this macro control doofer correct? i have no problem doing that :]
Great video as always!
Thanks!

Yeah, man, check it out!
Got a few other goodies up there, too
@@MrZensphere BTW can you allow Paypal payments on your Gumroad?
@@fanusamurai ok, should be set up for accepting through paypal now :)
@@MrZensphere Bagged! Thanks for the great videos dude :)
How would I take control over both pitch and resonance in my tracks? Eg. if I want to use the "303" as a riser (so it opens up before the beat drops)
Just assign them to macros in the modulation section (or fx section if you want a separate filter sweep) and use the instrument macros device on the track. In the automation section of pattern matrix and sequencer use the assigned macros to write automation

Acid!!!
Yeah buddy! 🙃🧪
