You can use the ZLxx FX command to change LPB within a song, so in this case you’d use ZL10 when you want 16 LPB then ZL08 afterwards when you want to switch back.

You can also use phrases with a different LPB for the bits where you want higher resolution. The nice bit about this is it can be applied to single instruments instead of the whole song.

I have yet to mess with phrases at all, but that’s good to hear!

They are amazingly versatile and useful, and can even be manipulated using some of the same effects as for samples.

Tried this now, and it works.
However, if I have a pattern which already contains information at 8 LPB and I then change it to 16 LPB, it (obviously) goes off at double tempo. Can I somehow “convert” a pattern I have programmed at 8 LPB to 16 LPB?

If you bring out the advanced pattern editor sidebar (A<–>E button to the right of the pattern editor) there’s an ‘expand’ function there. Highlight your original pattern info then use that (with the pattern length doubled too, of course) and it should do what you’re after. It defaults to alt+F9 on Windows.

Awesome, that works great! Never even knew that menu was there.
Cheers.

I dont dabble in them too often, but the one time i did was for that extra resolution lol

Being among the many* beta testers is a weird taste of what it must be like for developers/manufacturers… Seeing forum threads of people screaming for Redux MIDI out etc. and you can’t say anything even though you know it’s coming

I was so happy to see microtuning in there, I never thought it would happen but it’s implemented in just the way I’d have hoped too. I had fun microtuning the LFO demo track in various ways.

*I’m pretty sure half their forum users must be in there!

Great update! Tidal cycles notation inside renoise seems very powerful.

GurtTractor · 2025-07-08T13:34:44.758Z

Yeah for those into generative stuff it seems like Renoise is well worth a look now.

GurtTractor · 2025-07-08T18:49:18.446Z

Super cool seeing the sample waveforms in the instruments box -

xoark · 2025-07-08T19:28:42.173Z

yeah, im a big tidalcycles user so its very welcome for me to see something like this getting added into renoise

tha_man · 2025-07-08T21:13:34.815Z

This made my day! Phrase scripting seems very interesting. Do I understand correctly that it’s possible to sort of jam with code? And just last week I’ve been thinking how great it would be to have multiple effect chains in one track and here it is, even better than I imagined! I’ve also been waiting for Redux midi out & VST3. It’s been 15 years since I last paid for Renoise update (2.5), very happy to support it again!

Edit: just saw my licence it’s still valid for 3.5. Nuts!

xoark · 2025-07-08T21:26:33.431Z

yes, you can livecode with it, livecoding’s been a thing for while now, and has vibrant communities surrounding it (see: supercollider, tidalcycles, chuck, etc)

its nice to see it included within renoise itself

jm2c · 2025-07-23T12:19:44.262Z

Finally, payday is here. Before I pull the trigger on Redux, can somebody just confirm for me real quick - with Redux, I can use the built in phrase scripting to output MIDI data to my DAW? Which will then be able to output said MIDI to my external HW synths?

Just say the word and I’ll buy the shit out of this thing

Zelio · 2025-07-23T12:37:35.477Z

Yes.

You can also try the demo before buying it.
