The drum kit uses send track “Sperc1” for the first two patterns, but for the last two it should change to send track “Sperc2”.Īs before, the “Receiver” automation envelope for the “Drum Kit” group Send track in pattern 2 gets an automation marker. Since the demo song exists only to have a tangible example of this technique it is only four patterns long. This means the initially assigned send track will be used until something changes it.
If the Send device “Receiver” envelope in a given pattern does not have an explicitly set value then that windows will show “no value” whatever value was the last set is what is active. By the way, the marker value also appears in a window along the bottom of the envelope edit window you can watch this as a song is playing to see the current active value for that pattern. This value changes as you move the marker.
As you move the marker up or down you should see a little square above it with the current value. Now you can click on the marker you just added and drag it over to the left and down. But if you just get any marker value set you can then again click “Draw” to turn of the creation of new envelope markers. The goal is to get a marker right at the very start, with a value of 0 this is very hard to do straight off. Click someplace in the automation window. (Note: If you end up, either by choice or accident, indicating a send track index that does not refer to a defined send track, then it is the same as using no send track at all.)Ĭlick on “Draw” to allow editing. Numbering starts at 0, so at the very start of the very first pattern the “Drum Kit” group the Receiver" automation envelope needs to be set to 0.
The automation window, however, does not show the names of send tracks, but their index number. This is the tricky part: The automation values should correspond to an actual send track. Click it and you should be taken to the automation editing pane. This is a drop-down list of the currently defined send tracks. The Send routing device has a “Receiver” option. The bass tracks are also in their own group, with the group routed to one or another send track. Most of the percussion tracks have been placed into a group call “Drum Kit” the group has been given a Send routing device. Two for percussion, and two for the buzzy bass.
Or you can use the keyboard shortcut, ctrl+t.įor a demo track (pilfered from an early version of A Temporary Lattice, from the upcoming Neurogami release, Maximum R&D) I set up four send tracks. You can add more send tracks by selecting any existing send track and, using the menu, select Edit -> Insert Track. Setting up some send tracksĪ default Renoise song will have one send track, named S01, to the right of the master track. There are times in a piece when, for good effect, you want to keep the same set of notes on one or more tracks but apply a different set of filters and effects. The option to apply a common set of effects to multiple tracks seems to be about the same for each, but there’s something you can do with send tracks that (as best I know) you cannot do with a track group: automate the selection of send tracks to be used at any given point in the song. You’ll have to read the docs and play around to get a real sense of how they work. Which one you use (and you can use both in assorted combinations) depends on what you are trying to do. As with a track group, any filter or effect applied to a send track is applied to the signal of all tracks routed through it. One is to place the tracks into a group all filters and effects on the group are applied to the individual tracks.Īnother way to use send tracks. There are at least two ways to apply a set of effects to a collection of tracks.
