Highlights of Renoise 1.9

Multi-core support.
Renoise 1.9 will take advantage of all the cores in your multi-core processor to boost up performance, allowing you to add much more and heavier DSPs, tracks, VST FX and VST Instruments than before.

6 New DSP devices.
New artillery for the loudness war: the Bus Compressor and Maximizer have been created without any concessions in regard to quality, with exceptional 64-bit dithering and feedback transient analysis. The Velocity Device opens a new world of level-driven FX manipulation. The other devices are Chorus, Distortion 2 and Gate 2.

Supercharged DSP devices.
Existing DSPs have received an overhaul, including Filter response graphs for the 64-bit EQ devices, the intuitive LPC frequency unit in the LFO device and 64-bit precision Filter auxiliary sections. And that is just scratching the surface.

Improved MIDI support.
Fast and stable MIDI timing through WDM MIDI drivers, adjustable jitter reduction for the MIDI Clock to improve external synchronization, hot-pluggable devices on OS X and non-blocking MIDI connections on Windows.

Preset handling for Renoise’s DSP devices.
Organize your original DSP settings to have quick access to your signature sound, or get quality presets from other users to save yourself time. The A/B Comparison feature lets you switch between two configurations so you can decide which one sounds best.

Adjustable rulers in the Sample Editor.
The rulers in the Sample Editor will help you to slice your beats. With a rightclick you can switch the scale. Enable Snapping to snap to the nearest division and you got yourself a homebrew beatslicer. Well, almost.

Per-Sample Interpolation and NNA.
The interpolation mode and New Note Action (NNA) have been moved from instrument level down to sample level. Chiptune artists take notice, it is now possible to disable interpolation to preserve that authentic crunchy sound.

Features:
The features beneath here are just the tip of the iceberg. Not a surprise, considering the latest version of Renoise contains over 100 improvements. Download Renoise to discover the rest of the features.

Interface:
Quick. That sums it up pretty much. Once you get rolling with the keyboard shortcuts, there is no stopping you. And hey, there are no annoying floating windows. Every widget stays where it belongs.

Multi Platform:
Renoise runs on Windows and Mac OS X. If you want to use both OS'es, that is possible too! No need to register a separate copy.

MIDI:
Connect Renoise to hardware synths or VST instruments to send and receive notes and controllers changes. Sync Renoise in either master or slave mode.

VST Instruments and Effects:
VST provides you a vast array of effects and synths. With Renoise all that is within reach. Why not map an external MIDI controller to a VSTi through the VSTiAutomate Device and start tweaking for real?

Low latency audio with Multi-I/O ASIO:
Soundcards with ASIO benefit from low audio latency and the ability to route individual tracks through any available hardware channel.

Integrated Sampler:
Edit and playback samples with the Sample Editor. Because really, why should you let yourself be distracted by switching back and forth to external editors?

External Audio Recording:
You can record your sound card's line-in in the Sample Editor. Capture perfectly synched or manually triggered external audio directly into a sample slot. Or route the external signal through the Line-In Device into the DSP Chain.

Instrument Editor:
Turn VST Instruments into CPU-friendly multi-sample Instruments with the Instrument Editor.

Mixer:
Renoise's flexible answer to the traditional mixer. Also doubles as an interface for the DSP Chain.

Built-in DSP Effects:
Reverb, delay, compressor, distortion, flanger, phaser, EQ. Use as many of them as you like - or your pc can handle.

Track routing:
The Send and Master tracks pave the way for unique routing options. Whether you route a single channel or 50 channels to a Send track full of effects, your pc's CPU will hardly know the difference.

Automation:
Draw curves to tell effects and instruments how their parameters should change during playback.

Rendering to WAV:
Export your songs to WAV. Up to 32-bit, 96 kHz, with either cubic or sinc interpolation. Renoise can also save the separate tracks and patterns.

File formats:
Renoise accepts many sample and song formats.
