Download other peoples songs from the forum and study them to see how they do things and you’ll quickly build up methods of working that work for you.DRUM CIRCLE? PERC CIRC? (warning: more thinking out loud due to lockdown boredom)Ĭircular drum sequencer. ![]() I actually don’t even worry about it anymore cause I only need to remember about the three different hex numbers (FF = the highest, 80 = middle, 00 = the lowest), but it’ll depend on what you need to do.Īfter that it’s all down to just experimenting and practicing. To change time signatures just add more lines to the pattern 20 lines at LPB of 4 = 5/4 (20/4 = 5) and so on.Īfter that learn you’ll have to learn hexadecimal, it’s not that hard you’ll get it pretty quick. But when I ditched breakcore I switched to using a pattern length of 16 with an LPB of 4 (16/4 = 4, every 4th line is a quarter note) to replicate hardware sequencers. This is how I used to use it for breakcore because you can divide down to triplets 24 = 1/4 note : 24/3 = 8 (every 8th line is a triplet). For instance if you have a pattern with 96 lines, and an LPB setting of 24 then every 24th line is a quarter note (96/24 = 4), every 12th line is an 1/8th note (96/12 = 8), every 6th line = 16th note, etc. So learn about pattern length, and LPB (Lines Per Beat) first. The most basic thing you need to learn is probably pattern settings for note lengths, and time signatures. ![]() The forum is very active and someone will always try help you out. When you’re starting out just hang out there, search the topics, and ask questions. Some breakcore style tracks I did manually editing everything per note:Įverything I ever needed to know about Renoise I found on the Renoise forum. Here’s one of first randomised breakcore type tracks I made: Then I’d just program in everything else around the drum track. Basically what I could do then was create a pattern using a single C4 note on the desired lines in the main pattern editing window, load in a bunch of oneshots, or sliced break hits, hit play and then Renoise would just create an endless randomly generated drum track. At the start I did it all note by note, then I learned how to do random selection from a pool of samples using the keyboard to layer samples combined with the maYbe command in the phrase editor. I spent a lot of time chopping, layering, and processing breaks, and learning the best ways to re-arrange them, and how to create new rhythms from old breaks. At the start I was listening to a lot of Squarepusher, Aphex Twin especially the Drukqs album), The Tuss, and Venetian Snares so I was after the breakcore/drill n bass sound. Still want to learn Reaktor though.Īnyway’s in the start I made a lot of crap stuff, for like 2-3 years just loads of unfinished, badly mixed songs. ![]() I fucked around with all sorts of other stuff like PD, Composer Desktop Project, Max/MSP, Reaktor, and tried the demo of Ableton eventually but always went back to Renoise just cause I’d gotten so used to it. Not sure how I found out about trackers, I think I just came across it when googling cheap DAWs. Actually I might not have even known what Ableton was. I was in college and didn’t really have much cash, just wanted to start making music but didn’t want to invest big money on something like Ableton. ![]()
