The higher the LPB, the greater the resolution available to you for editing notes, effects and automation.

There is a "Lines per Beat" option which changes the number of lines that make up a musical beat. To reposition a column left-click and hold the button on its name, then drag the column to either side.Įach individual pattern/phrase can have a different length, from 1 to 512 lines, which can be changed by altering the value in the box at the top left of the tracker interface: Lines, Beats and Pattern Resolution There can be up to twelve Note and eight Master FX columns. You can add or delete the two main column types with the buttons at the top left and top right of a track or phrase. Right-clicking again will un-mute the other columns.Ī Note column can be renamed by double-clicking on its name (by default this is 'Note') and typing in a new one, finishing with Enter. Right-clicking a Note column's 'Play' text will solo it within a track, muting all of the others so that only the audio from that column is heard. Master FX: Effect Commands entered into this column will affect the entire track/phrase.Īn individual Note column can be muted by left-clicking on the 'Play' text underneath its name.Local FX: Effect Commands entered into this column will only affect the notes being played in this particular Note column.Delay: (00-FF) - A time delay added to the note, where 00 is no delay and FF will result in the note being delayed until immediately before the next line.Additional effects can also be triggered from here. In Renoise, this will only be applied to samples ( MIDI and VST plugins will be unaffected by values in this sub-column). Panning: (00-80) - The panning of the note, where 00=full left, 40=center and 80=full right.Volume: (00-80) - The note velocity/volume, where 00=minimum and 80=maximum.Instrument/Sample Number: The instrument/ sample number that will play the note.The notes are not entered letter by letter like a text editor, but like a piano, using the computer keyboard or a MIDI master keyboard. The first two characters represent the musical note, while the third character is the octave number. The images below illustrate the column layout for Renoise and Redux:


Master FX columns are used to apply Effect Commands that affect the behaviour of the entire track/phrase. The note sub-column is always visible, while the others can be turned on/off with their corresponding buttons in the Pattern Editor Control Panel or Phrase Editor Options.

Note columns are used to record instruments/samples by entering notes into the note sub-column, while the other sub-columns affect how the note is played. There are two types of main column: Note and Master FX. The Pattern Editor and Phrase Editor both organise their notes and effect commands in the same way, though a phrase is the equivalent of a single track from the Pattern Editor. Notes and effects are recorded into the tracker interface in the order that they are to be played back. Time runs vertically in a tracker, moving down line-by-line from the top of a pattern/phrase to the bottom, triggering the sequence of notes and commands found in each line. 1.2.1 Lines, Beats and Pattern Resolution.1.1.3 Adding, Deleting & Moving Columns.
