Recent Highlights: April 2026

What supporters funded this month:

2026-05-17 - Fix: PakettiLaunchApp filterLoadResult forward-reference crash

Fixed a Lua forward-reference error in PakettiLaunchApp.lua where filterProcessPoll() called filterLoadResult() before it was declared, causing variable 'filterLoadResult' is not declared at runtime. Reordered the two functions so filterLoadResult is defined before filterProcessPoll, which is the standard Lua 5.1 requirement for local functions.

2026-05-16 - Fix: Start/Stop Sample Recording and Pakettify nil crash

Fixed a crash in handle_sample_recording() (PakettiRecorder.lua) where pressing the "Start/Stop Sample Recording and Pakettify" keybinding a second time (to stop recording) would error with "attempt to index local 'sample' (a nil value)" if renoise.song().selected_sample was nil after the recording stopped. Added a nil guard so the function returns safely with a status message instead of crashing. Also removed a dead local variable from the else block. Affects keybinding Global:Paketti:Start/Stop Sample Recording and Pakettify and Global:Paketti:TouchOSC Sample Recorder and Record.

2026-05-15 - Guide: Wipe & Slice → Phrase (Continuous) — what it does, for musicians

Drop a drum loop on the instrument. Click any of the eight buttons under Wipe & Slice → Phrase (Continuous) (2 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256). Paketti does three things in one click:

  1. Chops the sample into that many equal slices.
  2. Wipes existing phrases on the instrument (destructive, by design).
  3. Builds one looping phrase per slice — phrase 1 plays the whole loop, phrase 2 starts from slice 2, phrase K starts from slice K and runs to the end.

Each phrase is mapped to a consecutive note starting at C#0 (phrase 1 = C#0, phrase 2 = D-0, phrase 3 = D#0, …) and loops continuously until you release the note. So with a 32-slice cut: hit C#0 → full loop cycles forever; hit D-0 → loop starts from slice 2 and cycles; hit G#0 → loop starts from slice 8 and cycles. Pick up the groove from any beat without re-slicing or touching the original audio. Mapped to keybindings (Global:Paketti:Wipe&Slice&Phrase (064) etc.) and MIDI mappings too, so a controller pad can do it.

2026-05-15 - Fix: Wipe&Slice&Phrase (Continuous) — actually build per-slice phrases

The "Continuous" wrapper was building one phrase containing all slices, then looping it. That's not what "Continuous" was supposed to mean.

Correct semantics, confirmed: for BOOM TCHIK CLAP TCHIK, triggering phrase 1 plays BOOM TCHIK CLAP TCHIK; phrase 2 plays TCHIK CLAP TCHIK; phrase 3 plays CLAP TCHIK; phrase 4 plays TCHIK. One looping phrase per starting slice, mapped to consecutive notes (C#0, D-0, D#0, …). This is exactly what pakettiSlicesToPhrasesPerSlice already does.

Fix: WipeSliceAndPhraseContinuous(N) now calls pakettiSlicesToPhrasesPerSlice(false, true) with a new in_place parameter on that function (mirroring the one added to pakettiSlicesToPhrase earlier today). The in_place mode wipes existing phrase mappings + phrases on the current instrument and rebuilds them — no instrument duplicate. The dropped looping-on-single-phrase logic is gone.

2026-05-15 - Fix: Wipe&Slice&Phrase (Continuous) — actually make the phrase loop

The "Continuous" wrapper shipped earlier only built the phrase; it didn't enable looping, so triggering the phrase played the slice sequence once and stopped. "Continuous" was just a label. Fix: after the phrase is built, the wrapper now sets phrase.looping = true with loop_start = 1 and loop_end = phrase.number_of_lines. Triggering the phrase now cycles the slice sequence indefinitely until note-off, matching drum-loop intent.

2026-05-15 - Feature: Wipe&Slice&Phrase (Continuous) and Wipe&Slice&Pattern — eight slice-count buttons each

Two new button banks in the Slice Tools dialog, mirroring the existing Equal Slicing (Wipe & Slice) 2/4/8/16/32/64/128/256 set:

Implementation reuses existing primitives: slicerough(N) for the wipe&slice step; pakettiSlicesToPhrase(false, false, in_place=true) (new in-place parameter) for the phrase build; pakettiSlicesToPatternEvenly(true) for the pattern write. Two ~3-line wrappers (WipeSliceAndPhraseContinuous, WipeSliceAndPatternEqual) in PakettiSlice.lua.

Surfaced as:

The new in_place parameter on pakettiSlicesToPhrase(add_trigger_note, use_detected_bpm, in_place) defaults to false so existing callers (the dialog "With Trigger" / "Phrase Only" buttons, keybindings, MIDI mappings) keep their non-destructive copy-instrument behavior unchanged.

2026-05-15 - Fix: Paketti Slice Tools dialog — every row sums to the same width

After the three-column split, button rows within sections had different total widths because the original constants (sw=45, bw=160, fw=325) didn't divide cleanly. The 2-button row (320px) was 5px narrower than the full-row button (325px); the 4-button row (180px) left 140px of empty padding inside its 320px-wide section. Result: in the same panel, "Manual Slicer (Longest) | Manual Slicer (Shortest)" appeared narrower than the "Slice Step Sequencer…" button above it, and the numeric slice-count buttons floated in oversized empty space.

Fix: reset the width constants so every row sums to the same fw=320:

Zero-Crossing Slicing's second row (32 / 64 / 128) now uses tw per button so it spans the same width as the 4-button row above it instead of leaving a quarter of the panel empty.

2026-05-15 - Fix: Slices to Phrase / Per Starting Slice — eliminate rising pitch (Option A)

Both pakettiSlicesToPhrase and pakettiSlicesToPhrasesPerSlice produced phrases where each successive slice played progressively higher in pitch. Discord report from tdel00 confirmed the workaround: toggling off the phrase's sample column (## button, phrase.instrument_column_visible) eliminated the rise. That pinpointed the root cause.

Root cause: previous fixes wrote instrument_value = slice_idx AND set note_value to the keyzone mapping's base_note. With the instrument (sample) column visible, Renoise plays the slice sample directly and compares note_value to the sample's intrinsic base_note (uniformly C-4 across all slices in a sliced instrument — they share one buffer). The keyzone mapping's base_note is a different field (the natural-pitch reference for the keyzone slot), often ascending (C-4, C#4, D-4, …). Writing those ascending values as note_value caused +1, +2, +3 semitone shifts per slice → rising pitch.

Fix (Option A — matches the empirically-working pakettiSlicesToPattern → Pattern-to-Phrase path):

Reverts the base_note-based logic from commit 56e7b2e (2026-05-15) — that fix was reading the wrong field. The ascending-pitch bug (e091cfa) and the rogue C-4 bug (5772872) both stay fixed because the keyzone trigger notes are ascending and per-slice, not a single shared C-4.

2026-05-15 - Improvement: Paketti Slice Tools dialog — fill in missing Slices→Pattern and Slices→Phrase variants

The "Slices to Pattern" and "Slices to Phrase" sections were missing four bound-but-unsurfaced features. Added:

2026-05-15 - Improvement: Paketti Slice Tools dialog — three-column layout

The Paketti Slice Tools dialog was previously a single tall column of 11 collapsible sections, forcing vertical scrolling on most displays. It is now laid out in three side-by-side columns, source order preserved:

Each section's collapsed/expanded state is still individually preserved via the existing pakettiSliceToolsShow* preferences — collapse a section in column 2 and it stays collapsed across reopens, exactly as before.

2026-05-15 - Fix: Wipe&Slice — restore frame-1 slice marker

slicerough() (the function behind every MIDI-mapped Wipe&Slice 004 / 008 / 016 / 032 / 064 / 128 / 256) stopped inserting a slice marker at frame 1 in February. The first slice region therefore ran from the implicit sample start to the first computed marker, instead of from an explicit frame-1 marker — a regression that broke the round-trip with WipeSliceAndWrite and made the first slice's keyzone mapping inconsistent.

Root cause: commit f60f8e5 (Feb 23 2026) removed insert_slice_marker(1) to dodge a duplicate-position-1 crash that only happens when tw < 1 (sample has fewer frames than changer slices). The crash guard was correct; throwing away the frame-1 marker for the 99.9% common path was not.

Fix: restore insert_slice_marker(1) and seed last_inserted = 1. The existing pos > last_inserted guard still skips the duplicate when tw < 1.

2026-05-15 - Improvement: Menu Configuration disable now short-circuits direct registrations too

Disabling a context (e.g. Mixer, Pattern Editor, Sample Editor) in Main Menu:Options:Paketti Menu Configuration now actually skips registering those menu entries at boot, including the ~2,390 entries that call renoise.tool():add_menu_entry{...} directly instead of going through the PakettiAddMenuEntry helper. Previously only the ~860 helper-routed entries honored the per-context preference; the remaining 2,390 direct calls were always queued, sorted, and registered regardless of the toggle — so disabling a category never made reloads faster.

Fix: the per-context decision is now a shared global PakettiShouldRegisterMenuEntry(name) called by both the helper and the proxy interceptor in main.lua. Entries with a disabled context return early before queueing — no queue cost, no sort cost, no add_menu_entry cost at flush.

2026-05-15 - Fix: Slices to Phrases — per-slice pitch correction

Fixed a regression where all slice notes in phrases came out as the same note (e.g. C#3) regardless of which slice was playing, causing progressive pitch drift. The previous fix had swung too far: it replaced the ascending-note bug with a single shared base note for every slice. But in a Renoise sliced instrument, each slice sample has its own base_note in the keyzone mapping (incrementing by one semitone per slice). When instrument_value selects a specific slice sample, the phrase note must match that slice's base_note for zero pitch offset — otherwise earlier/later slices play sharp or flat relative to their natural pitch.

Fix: both pakettiSlicesToPhrase() and pakettiSlicesToPhrasesPerSlice() now read each slice's individual base_note from instrument.sample_mappings[1][i+1] (where [1] is the original sample and [i+1] is slice i). Each slice note in the phrase gets its own correct pitch value instead of a single shared one.

2026-05-14 - Fix: Slices to Phrases — ascending pitch bug

Fixed a bug where each triggered slice in a phrase was gradually increasing in pitch. The root cause: when writing slice notes into phrases, ascending note values were used (C-4, C#4, D-4, D#4, ...) alongside the instrument_value column that selects each slice. In a phrase, instrument_value already handles which slice to play — the note value only controls pitch. Using ascending notes caused each successive slice to play one semitone higher than the last. Fix: all slices now use the same base note (the first slice's mapping base note), and only instrument_value varies to select the correct slice.

Also fixed pakettiSlicesToPhrase() (single phrase variant) which had the same ascending note bug plus a second bug where instrument_value was set to the song-level instrument index instead of the sample index within the instrument. Both paths (equal-spacing and frame-accurate) in both functions are patched.

2026-05-13 - Fix: Slices to Phrases — rogue C-4 note on first row

Fixed a bug where every phrase generated by "Slices to Phrases Per Starting Slice" had a rogue C-4 note (with no instrument number) stuck in note column 1 of the first row. Renoise's insert_phrase_at() initializes new phrases with a default C-4 on line 1. The collision-avoidance loop that finds empty note columns would see this default C-4 as occupied, pushing the real first slice note to column 2 and leaving the rogue C-4 behind. Fix: phrase:clear() is now called immediately after creating each phrase to wipe default content before writing slice data. Both pakettiSlicesToPhrase() and pakettiSlicesToPhrasesPerSlice() in PakettiOldschoolSlicePitch.lua are patched.

2026-05-13 - Feature: Chebyshev Waveshaper — per-harmonic pow() shape exponents

Each Chebyshev polynomial T_k(x) now gets an optional sign(y) * |y|^exp[k] shaping pass applied BEFORE its coefficient multiplies and sums into the LUT. The shaping is a 12-element exponent table (one per harmonic H2..H13), default 1.0 across the board (identity — behaves exactly like before, hits the fast Clenshaw path). Values < 1.0 expand each harmonic's contribution (steepens near zero, softens peaks); values > 1.0 compress it (flattens near zero, sharpens peaks). Each polynomial reshapes independently, giving a different timbral palette than linear gain mixing alone.

Per-sample cost stays at zero — the shaping bakes into the existing 4096-entry LUT at parameter-change time (cold path). LUT build is roughly 33K extra pow() calls per parameter change with all harmonics active, ~5–30ms in Lua 5.1 — imperceptible during slider drag. When all 12 exponents are 1.0, the code falls back to the original Clenshaw recurrence so existing presets behave identically.

2026-05-13 - Unparked: Trigger Sample on Pattern Input During Record — re-enabled after Taktik confirmation

Taktik confirmed (2026-05-13) that renoise.song():trigger_instrument_note_on(1, 1, 48, 1.0) works fine during playback. My earlier "this API is silently broken during playback" conclusion was wrong — it was based on a single test that called the function with the note wrapped in a table ({48}) instead of as a plain integer (48). The integer form works. I never tested the integer form before parking the feature. Mea culpa.

What's restored:

What changed in the implementation:

The OSC code is gone. The Parked Features section in manual/README.md has been removed.

2026-05-13 - Feature: Fill Effect Column with 0G01+0D00 / 0G01+0U00 (From Cursor) — toggle

Two new variants of the existing "Fill Effect Column with 0G01+0Xxx" commands. The existing ones overwrite the whole pattern. The "(From Cursor)" variants behave smarter and toggle: if the cursor is on row 1 they do exactly the same as the original (0G01 on row 1, 0U00/0D00 on rows 2..end). If the cursor is on any other row N, they fill only rows N..end with the glide effect and leave rows 1..N-1 untouched. Same shortcut twice = wipe: when the target range is already filled with the exact effect being requested, running the command again clears that same range instead. Third press refills. So you can use the same keybinding/MIDI button to create, wipe, and recreate without touching anything else.

2026-05-13 - Feature: Impulse Tracker Bootstrap

One-shot command that brings Renoise into IT-style working mode in a single keypress. Loads the bundled Dynamic Views layout from KeyBindings/Paketti Dynamic Views F2 F3 F4 F11.txt into the Dynamic Views preferences (note: you still have to assign Dynamic View 01/02/03/04 to F2/F3/F4/F11 yourself in Renoise keybindings for them to fire — Paketti just provides the layout), and force-enables three IT-mode toggles regardless of their current state: SBx Pattern Loop Follow, Trigger Sample on Pattern Input During Record, and Audition Current Line on Pattern Row Change. Safe to run again any time you want to reset back to IT-mode defaults. load_dynamic_views_from_txt() now accepts an optional path argument; passing nil keeps the existing file-prompt behaviour.

2026-05-13 - Fix: Audition Current Line on Pattern Row Change crash on enable

Fixed a crash when toggling "Audition Current Line on Pattern Row Change" on or off. The code was calling instrument:trigger_note_off() which does not exist on the Instrument object. Replaced both occurrences (in the timer callback and in the toggle-off path) with the correct Song-level API: song:trigger_instrument_note_off(instrument_index, track_index, note_value).

2026-05-13 - Parked: Trigger Sample on Pattern Input During Record — not currently possible with Renoise API

After exhausting every available path, this feature is parked. The Renoise 3.5 / API 6.2 Lua and OSC interfaces do not expose any way to preview a note during playback without also recording it into the pattern. Specifically:

  1. trigger_pattern_line() errors out when playback is running (documented).
  2. trigger_instrument_note_on() is silent during playback (verified empirically via manual test that bypassed our notifier path — same instrument, same track, same note, only difference was transport.playing — stopped played sound, playing produced nothing). This restriction is not documented anywhere.
  3. /renoise/trigger/note_on via the built-in OSC server is implemented internally as song:trigger_instrument_note_on(...) (osc.md line 248), so it inherits #2 — AND when edit mode is on, OSC trigger inputs get recorded into the pattern like an external MIDI controller, which combined with add_line_edited_notifier creates immediate runaway feedback that fills the pattern and freezes Renoise.

The 7 built-in OSC commands do not include any preview-without-recording endpoint.

The toggle, keybinding, MIDI mapping, and menu entries remain in place (so existing user setups don't break) but they now show a status-bar message explaining the limitation instead of doing anything. The persisted preference is forced to false on every boot so legacy true state from earlier broken attempts can't auto-re-enable.

Workaround for users: keep Follow Player ON. Renoise auditions natively when the edit cursor and the playback cursor coincide.

2026-05-13 - Fix: Trigger Sample on Pattern Input During Record — switch to add_line_edited_notifier + duplicate-menu crash

Two real bugs were keeping the feature silent and causing a boot crash:

  1. Wrong notifier API. The implementation used pattern:add_line_notifier() (generic — fires on any pattern content change, including script-driven). Switched to pattern:add_line_edited_notifier(), which is the dedicated API documented as: "fires only when the user added, changed or deleted a line with the computer or MIDI keyboard." This is exactly the event we want.
  2. pcall was swallowing errors. Any failure inside the callback or note trigger was hidden, so when something went wrong you just got silence with no clue. Removed the error-swallowing pcalls; real errors now surface in the Scripting Terminal.
  3. Duplicate Main Menu:Options entry crashed boot — the same menu name was registered both in PakettiTriggerOnInput.lua and PakettiMenuConfig.lua. Kept the one in PakettiMenuConfig.lua (central menu config owns Options-menu entries).

Also added diagnostic print() lines and show_status() calls so it's possible to confirm at runtime that the notifier is attaching and firing — flip toi_debug = false in the file once it's verified working.

2026-05-13 - Fix: Trigger Sample on Pattern Input During Record — no sound during playback

Fixed the core bug: trigger_pattern_line() only works when playback is stopped (Renoise API limitation). Replaced with trigger_instrument_note_on() which works in all states — playing, stopped, follow on/off. The feature now correctly reads note values and instrument indices from the edited line, respects volume column for velocity, groups notes by instrument for multi-instrument lines, and sends proper trigger_instrument_note_off() to stop previously previewed notes before triggering new ones.

2026-05-13 - Feature: Trigger Sample on Pattern Input During Record

New toggle feature that auditions notes as you type them into the pattern editor during record mode. When enabled, every note entered triggers trigger_instrument_note_on() so you hear what you typed — regardless of whether playback is running, stopped, or what the follow mode is. This fills the gap where Renoise is silent during note entry in certain states (playing + follow OFF).

Uses event-driven add_line_notifier (not timer polling), following the proven SBx Pattern Loop Follow lifecycle. Only fires when edit mode is ON and an actual note (value < 120) is present on the edited line.

2026-05-13 - Fix: Linux/Windows keybindings — Mac→LWin conversion was broken (Option→Control instead of Option→Alt)

A previous Mac→Linux/Windows keybinding conversion silently produced malformed entries: any binding that used both Option and Control on Mac became Control + Control + X on LWin (duplicate modifier). Renoise can't parse duplicate modifiers, so on load it dropped both Controls and re-saved the binding as a fragmentary Shift + Alt + Control + with no actual key — making the feature un-triggerable. The Mac convention Option + Control + 1 (Toggle Track Slot Mute 01) is correctly Alt + Control + 1 on LWin, but the shipped file had it as Control + Control + 1 (junk).

26 duplicate-modifier entries fixed in KeyBindings/2025_07_10_PakettiKeyBindings_Linux_Windows.xml:

Re-import the keybinding preset (Edit → Preferences → Keys → Load) to pick up the new defaults. The Mac file (2025_07_10_PakettiKeyBindings.xml) is unchanged.

2026-05-13 - Fix: Linux/Windows keybindings — Impulse Tracker bindings now win their Ctrl-shortcut conflicts

The shipped KeyBindings/2025_07_10_PakettiKeyBindings_Linux_Windows.xml had 48 keyboard shortcut collisions (the macOS file has zero — Cmd vs Ctrl gives Mac users two separate spaces; Linux/Windows users had to fold everything onto Ctrl and bindings collided). 15 of the worst collisions (same key combination bound to two different actions in the same scope) are now resolved by stripping the <Key> element from the loser side (the keybinding entry remains so menus and Lua references still work — only the default keyboard shortcut assignment is removed). Re-import the keybinding preset to pick up the new defaults.

Impulse Tracker emulation wins (11 keyboard shortcuts):

Renoise natives win (4 keyboard shortcuts):

33 Paketti-vs-Paketti keyboard shortcut collisions remain (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+E, Ctrl+P, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+A/P/Q/S/X, etc.) and need per-chord decisions — list saved to /tmp/paketti_lwin_deferred.md for follow-up.

2026-05-12 - Feature: Esa Ruoho ParaEQ (AU) loader + external-editor preference

Added an AU loader for the Esa Ruoho ParaEQ plugin (aufx:peQA:EsaR). When loaded — either via the new keybinding or any pathway that goes through loadvst() — the plugin opens its external editor instead of the Renoise parameter editor, matching the existing FabFilter Pro-Q 3 behaviour. Detection works either by VST/AU identifier prefix or by "esa ruoho" + "paraeq" in the device name (case-insensitive), so manually-loaded instances are handled too.

2026-05-11 - Fix: Restore Stepper Modulation Devices in v31-compatible Instruments with Safe Defaults

Restored all 6 SampleStepperModulationDevice entries in the four v31-compatible instrument presets (12st_Pitchbend.xrni, 12st_Pitchbend_Drumkit_C0.xrni, 12st_Pitchbend_Drumkit_C0_mutegroup.xrni, 12st_WT.xrni). The Stepper's <Nodes> format includes <ValueQuantum> and <Polarity> elements from modulation set v5 (Renoise 3.2+), which Renoise 3.1 cannot parse — causing all Stepper point values to reset to 0 (Volume×0 = silence, Cutoff×0 = filter closed). Fix: rebuilt from v33/v34 backups, stripped <ValueQuantum> and <Polarity> from inside <Nodes>, and set all Stepper point values to 1.0 (neutral for multiply operators, maximum range for additive operators). The Stepper devices are now present and ready for the user to program on Renoise 3.1. Targets: Panning (+), Drive (+), Resonance (+), Pitch (+), Cutoff (×), Volume (×).

2026-05-11 - Improvement: Rename Record and Follow MIDI Mappings to Clarify Playback Start/Stop

Renamed the two older MIDI mappings in PakettiMidi.lua (MidiRecordAndFollowToggle) to make it clear they also start/stop playback — unlike the newer Record+Follow Toggle mappings which only toggle edit mode and follow player.

2026-05-11 - Feature: Record+Follow Toggle MIDI Mappings (1st–4th)

Added four MIDI mappings for the Record+Follow Toggle function, allowing it to be mapped to multiple MIDI controllers simultaneously. These call the same RecordFollowToggle() used by the existing keybindings (2nd/3rd/4th), which handles pattern editor, phrase editor, and various edit/follow/play state toggling.

2026-05-11 - Fix: Preset++ device chain incompatible on Renoise 3.1

The default Preset++ device chain (hipass_lopass_dcoffset.xrnt) uses DigitalFilterDevice, a Renoise 3.5-only (doc_version 22) DSP type that does not exist before API 6.1. On Renoise 3.1 this caused the error "was saved with an incompatible, more recent version of Renoise" when creating a new track with channelstrip. Fixed by:

2026-05-11 - Fix: Note Release Gate crash on Renoise 3.1

PakettiNoteReleaseGate.lua used tool_will_unload_observable and tool_finished_loading_observable unconditionally at load time. Both observables were introduced in API 6.1 (Renoise 3.3) and do not exist in Renoise 3.1, causing a fatal unknown property or function 'tool_will_unload_observable' error that prevented the entire tool from loading. Both calls are now guarded with if PAKETTI_API >= 6.1, matching the established pattern in PakettiExperimental_BlockLoopFollow.lua. On older Renoise versions, cleanup happens via app_new_document_observable (already registered) and natural tool unload.

2026-05-11 - Improvement: GitHub Actions now ships correct v31 instruments in Paketti 3.1 build

The GitHub Actions CI pipeline (package-api5 job) now automatically replaces v33/v34 XRNI presets with their v31-compatible versions before packaging the Renoise 3.1 build. Previously, the Paketti 3.1 .xrnx release contained v33/v34 instrument files that Renoise 3.1 cannot load — the runtime pakettiGetVersionedPresetPath() routing worked for code paths that used it, but any direct Presets/filename reference would still fail. Now the build copies Presets/v31/*.xrni over the originals in Presets/ before zipping, providing belt-and-suspenders coverage. Both the API 6 and API 5 builds also now exclude Presets/v31/ and Presets/backup_v33_v34/ from their zip archives to reduce package size.

2026-05-10 - Improvement: Renoise 3.1 (API 5) compatible XRNI instrument presets

Added version-aware XRNI preset loading so Paketti works correctly on Renoise 3.1 (API 5). The XRNI instrument presets shipped in Presets/ are doc_version 33/34 (Renoise 3.3/3.5 format) which Renoise 3.1 cannot load. This caused silent failures when Paketti tried to load scaffolding instruments for features like pitchbend instruments, drumkits, RingMod, wavetable, SF2 import, stem slicing, and MuteTrig.

What changed:

Files affected: 12st_Pitchbend.xrni, 12st_Pitchbend_Drumkit_C0.xrni, 12st_Pitchbend_Drumkit_C0_mutegroup.xrni, 12st_WT.xrni, RingMod.xrni, RingModLegacy.xrni, empty.xrni, and all 6 *_Legacy_with_VolAmp_VolFreq.xrni variants.

2026-05-08 - Feature: PakettiMCP voice verbs — Pattern Preset / Groovebox / Shrink / Expand from "Hey Sal"

Added PakettiMCP/tools/paketti.lua with four MCP verbs that wrap existing Paketti functions so they can be invoked from any external process via the MCP server on localhost:19714:

These are MCP tools only — no new menu entries, no new keybindings, no new MIDI mappings. They expose the existing Pattern Editor keybindings (Pattern Editor:Paketti:Pattern Shrink (dBlue) / Pattern Expand (dBlue)), the global Groovebox keybinding (Global:Paketti:Paketti Groovebox 8120), and the Pattern Preset Dialog function so they can be triggered from pmcp, the Apple repo's hey-sal voice router, AppleScript / Shortcuts / Loupedeck, or any HTTP client. Demo: pmcp paketti_groovebox from a shell or "open the groovebox" via hey-sal.

2026-05-08 - Fix: Rhythmic Slice DrumChain capped silently at #filenames × 3 slices

Create New Rhythmic Slice DrumChain with Current Slices (and the Randomize variant) used a shared attempts counter declared once outside the per-slice loop, with max_attempts = #filenames * 3. Once that counter hit the cap, every remaining slice fell through to the silence-padding fallback. With 1 file selected, the chain capped at 3 successful slices; with 2 files, at 6; etc. The resulting WAV had the rest of the slice slots filled with silence — looking like the function "cut off at 3 samples." Moved attempts and max_attempts inside the per-slice for-loop so each slice gets its own attempt budget. Cap is now math.max(#filenames, 1) * 2 per slice, which is enough to retry each selected file twice (in case of a silent or broken file) without prematurely capping the whole chain. Selecting 1 sample to fill an 8-slice rhythmic chain now works correctly. Same fix applied to both the regular and Randomize coroutines.

2026-05-08 - Improvement: Pattern Preset — bank file format v2 (human-editable)

Pattern Preset bank text files are now actually editable by humans. The previous v1 format dumped the internal storage (H#32#1#1#1~L#1#48,12,255,255,0,0,0#0,0…) which was efficient for preferences.xml but unreadable. The new v2 format uses Renoise-style notation with sectioned slots, hex bytes, and dot sentinels for empty fields. Save now writes v2; Load auto-detects v1 vs v2 from the PakettiPatternPresetBank vN header, so existing v1 files keep working.

Example v2 output:

PakettiPatternPresetBank v2

Section header per slot includes Lines, NoteCols, EffectCols, TrackType (1=Sequencer, 2=Master, 3=Send, 4=Group). You can edit a saved bank in any text editor — change a note from C-4 to D#5, a volume from 7F to 40, add or remove rows — and Load will round-trip cleanly.

2026-05-08 - Feature: Pattern Preset — slice current pattern into N banks + save/load bank text files

Two big additions to Pattern Preset:

Slice & Distribute. Take the currently selected matrix slot, divide it into 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 equal-length pieces, and drop each piece into its own preset bank starting at a chosen slot. A 64-row pattern sliced into 8 fills slots 01–08 with eight 8-row chunks; each chunk's stored line numbers are remapped to start at 1 so it behaves as a standalone N-line preset. Combined with Put at cursor + Advance to End of Put you can hammer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 to lay them down sequentially in any destination matrix slot. Dialog row: Slice current pattern into [N] equal pieces, starting at slot [NN] + button. PakettiPatternPresetSliceCurrent(num_slices, start_slot). Menu entries: Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Pattern Preset:Slice into 2, ... into 4, ... into 8, ... into 16, ... into 32. Keybindings: Global:Paketti:Pattern Preset Slice into 2/4/8/16/32.

Bank text-file save/load. Save all 32 slots (data + names) to a plain text file, load them back later. Format is line-based and human-readable: a PakettiPatternPresetBank v1 header followed by Slot01|Name|<name> and Slot01|Data|<serialized> rows for each slot. Lets you share preset banks, snapshot them into a project folder, or version-control them. PakettiPatternPresetSaveBank(filename) / PakettiPatternPresetLoadBank(filename) (filename optional — pops a file chooser if omitted). Dialog buttons: Save Bank to File..., Load Bank from File.... Menu entries: Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Pattern Preset:Save Bank to File..., ... Load Bank from File.... Keybindings: Global:Paketti:Pattern Preset Save Bank to File, ... Load Bank from File. MIDI mappings: Paketti:Pattern Preset Save Bank to File, ... Load Bank from File.

2026-05-08 - Improvement: Pattern Preset — Advance to End of Put checkbox

New Advance to End of Put checkbox in the Pattern Preset dialog. When Put at cursor is on and this checkbox is enabled, every Put jumps selected_line_index to the line right after the placed preset (cursor lands on applied_at_line + stored_pattern_length, clamped to the last pattern line). Lets you stack consecutive presets back-to-back regardless of edit-step value: pick a 16-line pattern, put it at line 1, cursor jumps to 17, put a 12-line pattern, cursor jumps to 29, and so on. Takes precedence over Use Edit Step if both are checked. Persisted in preferences.xml (PakettiPatternPreset.AdvanceToEnd).

2026-05-08 - Improvement: Pattern Preset — Use Edit Step checkbox

New Use Edit Step checkbox in the Pattern Preset dialog (mirrors the OctaMED Pick/Put Row dialog's behaviour). When both Put at cursor and Use Edit Step are enabled, every Put advances song.selected_line_index by transport.edit_step after placing the preset, so you can stack consecutive presets down a pattern by tapping 1, 2, 3 … without manually moving the cursor between Puts. Persisted in preferences.xml (PakettiPatternPreset.UseEditStep). Cursor stops advancing at the last line of the pattern.

2026-05-08 - Improvement: Pattern Preset — readable slot cards with note preview

Each Pattern Preset slot card now has two persistent text rows under the buttons: a compact stats line (<lines>L <ncols>N <ecols>E <filled>F) and a multi-character preview of the slot's first six first-column notes (C-4 D#5 G-4 A-4 E-5 ... style). Cards widened to 130 px / ~16 monospace characters of preview, so you can spot what's stored in each slot at a glance instead of having to put it into a pattern to find out. Empty slots show Empty and (empty) respectively.

2026-05-08 - Improvement: Pattern Preset — keyboard-style dialog, hotkey Pick/Put, Put-at-cursor

The Pattern Preset dialog is rebuilt around a QWERTY-keyboard layout: 32 slot mini-cards arranged in four rows that mirror the keyboard — 1234567890 (slots 01–10), qwertyuiop (11–20), asdfghjkl; (21–30), zx (31–32). Each card shows the key letter, the slot number, Put / Pick / Clear buttons, and a live summary line. While the dialog is focused: pressing <key> puts that slot, pressing Shift+<key> picks into that slot — same one-handed flow as the Paketti Enhanced Automation dialog. Click cards directly for the same actions. New Put at cursor checkbox: when on, Put places the preset starting at the currently selected line and only clears the destination range it overwrites — outside lines stay untouched. So picking a 16-line pattern and putting it at line 16 of a 32-line pattern lays the 16 lines into rows 16–31 without nuking rows 1–15. The checkbox state persists in preferences.xml (PakettiPatternPreset.PutAtCursor). Pressing the standard dialog-close key (default esc) closes the dialog. All previously registered keybindings, MIDI mappings, and Pattern Matrix submenu entries remain intact.

2026-05-08 - Improvement: Pattern Preset — full Pattern Matrix submenu and Options menu entry

The 32 banks added to Pattern Preset earlier today are now fully exposed as menu entries inside the Pattern Matrix right-click menu under a Pattern Preset submenu: Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Pattern Preset:Open Dialog, plus Pick 01–Pick 32, Put 01–Put 32, and Clear 01–Clear 32 (97 entries total). The dialog also gets a top-level slot in the Renoise main menu — Main Menu:Options:Paketti Pattern Preset Menu — so the editing UI is reachable directly from the Options menu without diving into the Tools submenu.

2026-05-08 - Feature: Pattern Preset — pick/put complete Pattern Matrix slots

Sister system to OctaMED Pick/Put Slots — but instead of a single row, Pattern Preset picks/puts a complete Pattern Matrix slot (all the lines for the currently selected track within the currently selected pattern, including all visible note and effect columns) across 32 banks stored persistently in preferences.xml. Pick captures the cell at selected_pattern × selected_track; Put writes the stored cell into the cell currently selected in the Pattern Matrix. Track type, visible note column count, and visible effect column count all roundtrip; visible columns auto-expand on Put if the stored slot has more than the destination. Empty pattern lines aren't serialized, so the on-disk footprint stays compact even when storing 32 full-pattern banks. PakettiPatternPresetPick(slot), PakettiPatternPresetPut(slot), PakettiPatternPresetClear(slot), PakettiPatternPresetClearAll(), and PakettiPatternPresetDialog() are the entry points. The dialog lays out all 32 slots in two columns of 16 with per-slot Pick / Put / Clear buttons and a live summary line per slot. Menu entries: Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:Pattern Editor:Pattern Preset Dialog..., Pattern Editor:Paketti:Pattern Preset Dialog..., Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Pattern Preset Dialog.... Dialog keybindings: Global:Paketti:Pattern Preset Dialog, Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Pattern Preset Dialog, Pattern Editor:Paketti:Pattern Preset Dialog. MIDI mapping: Paketti:Pattern Preset Dialog. Per-slot keybindings (1–32) in three scopes: Global:Paketti:Pattern Preset Pick Slot NN / ... Put Slot NN, Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Pattern Preset Pick Slot NN / ... Put Slot NN, Pattern Editor:Paketti:Pattern Preset Pick Slot NN / ... Put Slot NN. Per-slot MIDI mappings: Paketti:Pattern Preset Pick Slot NN / Paketti:Pattern Preset Put Slot NN. 64 keybindings × 3 scopes + 64 MIDI mappings cover the full 32-bank pick/put surface.

2026-05-08 - Feature: Block-loop-sized Pattern Editor selection knob

New MIDI knob mapping Paketti:Midi Set Selection to Block Loop x[Knob] divides the current pattern into N equal-sized blocks (where N = transport.loop_block_range_coeff, the same coefficient that drives Renoise's block-loop button) and lets a continuous knob jump the Pattern Editor selection_in_pattern between blocks on the currently selected track. Pair it with Paketti:Change Current Slot Instruments x[Knob] for a two-knob workflow: one knob picks which block to target, the other slams a new instrument into that block. Examples with loop_block_range_coeff = 4: a 64-row pattern gives four 16-line blocks (1-16, 17-32, 33-48, 49-64); knob at 0 selects block 1, knob at 127 selects block 4. Increase the coefficient (up to 16) for finer subdivisions. Block size uses math.ceil(pattern_lines / coeff) so odd-length patterns still expose every row through some block. The selection covers all visible note + effect columns of the current track. Includes a "skip-no-op" guard so duplicate CC values don't churn the selection. PakettiBlockLoopSelectionKnobHandler(message) handles both absolute and relative MIDI controllers.

Companion trigger actions for stepping the block-loop selection by one block at a time (with wrap-around at the ends) — bind these to keys, footswitches or pads when you don't want a continuous knob: PakettiBlockLoopSelectionStepNext() / PakettiBlockLoopSelectionStepPrevious(). Keybindings: Global:Paketti:Set Selection to Next Block Loop, Global:Paketti:Set Selection to Previous Block Loop, Pattern Editor:Paketti:Set Selection to Next Block Loop, Pattern Editor:Paketti:Set Selection to Previous Block Loop. MIDI mappings: Paketti:Midi Set Selection to Next Block Loop, Paketti:Midi Set Selection to Previous Block Loop.

2026-05-08 - Feature: Set Instrument trio (Track / Selection / Selection-or-Track) with wrap-around

A clean trio of Next/Previous instrument-bumpers that operate on three distinct, sharply-defined scopes — all with wrap-around (Next at the last instrument wraps to the first; Previous at the first wraps to the last) and all reusing the same paint-the-slot-color-and-rewrite engine added earlier today:

  1. Set Current Track Instrument to Next / ... to Previous — always operates on the whole currently selected track in the current pattern, regardless of any selection. PakettiSetCurrentTrackInstrumentToNext() / PakettiSetCurrentTrackInstrumentToPrevious(). Keybindings: Global:, Pattern Editor:, Pattern Matrix: (× both directions). MIDI mappings: Paketti:Midi Set Current Track Instrument to Next / ... to Previous.
  2. Set Selection Instrument to Next / ... to Previous — operates only on selection_in_pattern (Pattern Editor selection). Bails with a status notice when no selection exists, so Next/Previous don't silently scroll the instrument list. PakettiSetSelectionInstrumentToNext() / PakettiSetSelectionInstrumentToPrevious(). Same six keybinding contexts and two MIDI mappings.
  3. Set Selection or Track Instrument to Next / ... to Previous — uses selection_in_pattern if it exists, otherwise falls back to the whole current track. The "do the right thing" middle-ground variant. PakettiSetSelectionOrTrackInstrumentToNext() / PakettiSetSelectionOrTrackInstrumentToPrevious(). Same six keybinding contexts and two MIDI mappings.

Internals refactored: PakettiChangeSlotInstrumentsApplyOps(ops, source_label) is the shared apply-engine; PakettiChangeSlotInstrumentsBuildOpsTrackOnly(), ...BuildOpsSelectionOnly(), ...BuildOpsSelectionOrTrack(), ...BuildOpsMatrixOrCurrent() are scope builders; PakettiChangeSlotInstrumentsComputeSlotColor() is the inverted+hardened track-color helper; PakettiChangeSlotInstrumentsBumpInstrumentWrap(direction) is the wrap-around bumper (logs [WRAPPED] to the Scripting Terminal when wrap fires). The existing PakettiChangeCurrentSlotInstrumentsToSelectedInstrument() is now just a thin shim that picks the most specific scope (selection > matrix > current slot) and delegates to the apply-engine — its keybindings, menu entry and MIDI mappings are unchanged.

2026-05-08 - Feature: Change Current Slot Instruments to Selected Instrument

New action PakettiChangeCurrentSlotInstrumentsToSelectedInstrument() in PakettiImpulseTracker.lua rewrites every non-empty note column to use the currently selected instrument, with three-tier scope priority: (1) Pattern Editor selection_in_pattern — restricts to the selected line range and note-column range across the selected track range in the current sequence; (2) Pattern Matrix selected slots — whole pattern, all visible note columns, per slot; (3) Fallback — the currently selected slot (track + sequence), whole pattern. Then colors the affected slot(s) with an inverted + hardened version of the currently selected track's color (each channel inverted via 255 - c, then snapped to its nearest extreme — 0 or 255 — to maximize contrast and saturation; pure black is nudged to white so Renoise still renders a slot color), with a fallback magenta {0xFF, 0x00, 0xFF} when the track has no color set (the Renoise renoise.Instrument API doesn't expose a color property) so the change is visible at a glance in the matrix. Falls back to the currently selected slot when no matrix selection exists. Skips Send/Master/Group tracks and aliased pattern tracks (only colors aliases). Reports each modified slot in the status bar as Changed Pattern X Track Y (name) Slot Z to instrument NN (instrname), or a summary Changed N slots to instrument NN (instrname) when multiple slots were touched. Menu entry: Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Change Current Slot Instruments to Selected Instrument. Keybindings: Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Change Current Slot Instruments to Selected Instrument and Pattern Editor:Paketti:Change Current Slot Instruments to Selected Instrument. MIDI mappings: Paketti:Change Current Slot Instruments to Selected Instrument (trigger — apply currently selected instrument) and Paketti:Change Current Slot Instruments x[Knob] (knob — scales int_value 0..127 to an instrument index in [1..#instruments], sets selected_instrument_index to that, and immediately rewrites the current slot(s) to use it; supports both absolute and relative MIDI controllers; remembers the last applied instrument so the rewrite is skipped when the knob hasn't moved to a new instrument). Companion actions PakettiSetCurrentSlotInstrumentToNext() / PakettiSetCurrentSlotInstrumentToPrevious() bump selected_instrument_index by ±1 (clamped to [1..#instruments], with a status-bar notice when already at the first/last instrument) and immediately rewrite the current slot(s); keybindings Global:Paketti:Set Current Slot Instrument to Next, Global:Paketti:Set Current Slot Instrument to Previous, Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Set Current Slot Instrument to Next, Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Set Current Slot Instrument to Previous, Pattern Editor:Paketti:Set Current Slot Instrument to Next, Pattern Editor:Paketti:Set Current Slot Instrument to Previous; MIDI mappings Paketti:Midi Set Current Slot Instrument to Next, Paketti:Midi Set Current Slot Instrument to Previous (matching Renoise's Paketti:Midi Change Selected Instrument x[Knob] naming convention).

2026-05-08 - Feature: pdump() global helper for Scripting Terminal

PakettiDump.lua adds a global function pdump(value, label) callable from Renoise's Scripting Terminal that takes any Lua value, dumps it to /tmp/paketti-<label>-<timestamp>.txt, and opens the file in the system default editor (open on macOS, start on Windows). Tables are walked via rprint with print temporarily monkey-patched to redirect into the file; userdata is walked via oprint; primitives are tostring'd. Companion pdump_quiet(value, label) writes the file without opening it. Designed to make introspection one-liners trivial — e.g. pdump(renoise.song().selected_track.available_device_infos, "devices") produces a grep-able file with all VST/VST3/AU/Native plugin names + paths.

2026-05-08 - Feature: Paketti MCP Server (Streamable HTTP MCP inside Paketti)

Paketti now hosts a Streamable HTTP MCP server on localhost:19714/mcp, letting Claude (or any MCP client) drive Renoise via JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP. The MCP core (json/router/server/dialog + tools for transport, song, tracks, patterns, sequencer, instruments, devices) is adapted from kraken@renoise.com's ReMCP project (https://github.com/renoise/xrnx, MIT licensed) into Paketti's namespace under PakettiMCP/. Start the server via menu entry Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:!Preferences:MCP Server Start or keybinding Global:Paketti:MCP Server Start. Verify with curl http://localhost:19714/health. Tools/list and tools/call work from any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code via mcp-remote, plain curl. This collapses the OSC + probe-file feedback hack into a proper bidirectional API surface. Added: 3 keybindings (MCP Server Dialog/Start/Stop), 3 menu entries under Paketti Preferences, full server source under PakettiMCP/ (json.lua, router.lua, server.lua, dialog.lua, tools/{transport,song,tracks,patterns,sequencer,instruments,devices}.lua).

2026-05-08 - Feature: Paketti Claude Probe (keybinding-driven Lua-eval feedback to file)

PakettiClaudeProbe.lua adds keybinding-callable functions that evaluate Renoise API expressions in tool context (full io access, unlike /renoise/evaluate's sandbox) and dump the result to /tmp/paketti-probe.txt for Claude to read. Five quick probes: Selected Track, Available Devices, Selected Instrument, Song summary, plus a Custom Expression dialog for arbitrary Lua. Output format includes timestamp, expression, result type, ok-flag, and a stable Lua-table-style serialization (numeric keys first, then string keys, sorted). Pairs with the upgraded ~/.claude/bin/renoise-eval which now routes via PakettiClaudeProbeRun instead of trying to write files from the sandboxed eval context. Added: 5 keybindings (Global:Paketti:Claude Probe ...), 5 menu entries under Paketti Preferences.

2026-05-08 - Feature: Claude Chat Dialog (OSC bridge proof-of-concept)

PakettiClaudeChat.lua adds a chat dialog inside Renoise that talks to a Claude Code session via the OSC /renoise/evaluate channel and a /tmp/claude-inbox.txt mailbox. You type a message, click Send (or press Return), the message is written to the inbox file with a timestamp; Claude (running in /loop mode) polls the inbox, generates a reply, and sends it back via OSC /renoise/evaluate calling the global _PakettiClaudeReply(text), which appends to the dialog's response area. Round-trip latency is ~20-60s — this is an "ambient assistant inside Renoise," not real-time chat. Includes Esc-to-close, Return-to-send, Shift+Return for newline, a Clear button, and a persistent on-disk log at /tmp/claude-chat-log.txt. Pairs with the new ~/.claude/bin/renoise-eval Python helper that sends Lua to Renoise via UDP/8000. Added: keybinding Global:Paketti:Claude Chat Dialog, menu entry Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:!Preferences:Claude Chat Dialog.... Requires Renoise's OSC server enabled in Preferences > OSC (UDP, port 8000).

2026-05-08 - Feature: Paketti Keybindings Loader Dialog

Added a new dialog that walks the user through importing Paketti's bundled keybinding presets into Renoise. The Renoise Lua API has no function to apply default keyboard shortcuts — the Tool API doc explicitly states "Users manually have to bind them in the keyboard prefs pane" — so this dialog automates everything Paketti is allowed to automate around that constraint:

Registered via Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:!Preferences:Paketti Keybindings Loader Dialog... and Main Menu:Options:Paketti Keybindings Loader Dialog... (both via the sortable PakettiAddMenuEntry{} wrapper), Global:Paketti:Paketti Keybindings Loader Dialog keybinding, and Paketti:Paketti Keybindings Loader Dialog x[Toggle] MIDI mapping. Toggle behaviour: invoking the menu/key while the dialog is open closes it.

2026-05-08 - Update: Duplicate Pattern Above/Below & Clear Muted Tracks now hands loop+playback off to the new duplicate

The Ctrl+Up / Ctrl+Down "Duplicate Pattern Above/Below & Clear Muted Tracks" actions in PakettiPatternMatrix.lua now keep the workflow fluid when the user is mid-loop. If, at the moment of duplication, playback is on AND the current pattern is being looped (either via transport.loop_pattern or via a single-slot transport.loop_sequence_range == {N, N}), the loop and the playhead are now handed off to the freshly created duplicate. Specifically:

Two new global helpers in PakettiPatternMatrix.lua factor the logic: PakettiCapturePatternLoopState(song, seq_index) snapshots the relevant loop fields before mutation, and PakettiHandoverPatternLoopAndPlayback(song, prior_state, new_seq_index) performs the loop-range move and the scheduled-sequence jump after insertion. Both emit verbose print() debug lines so the scripting console shows exactly what was decided each time.

2026-05-08 - Update: Pattern Sequencer Ctrl+Up/Ctrl+Down bound to Duplicate Pattern Above/Below & Clear Muted Tracks

The duplicate-pattern-and-wipe-muted-tracks workflow that has lived under Ctrl+Up / Ctrl+Down in the Pattern Matrix is now bound to the same keys in the Pattern Sequencer by default. The Lua keybindings (Pattern Sequencer:Paketti:Duplicate Pattern Above & Clear Muted Tracks and Pattern Sequencer:Paketti:Duplicate Pattern Below & Clear Muted Tracks) were already registered against the existing duplicate_pattern_and_clear_muted_above / duplicate_pattern_and_clear_muted functions in PakettiPatternMatrix.lua — they just weren't bound to keys in the default keybinding presets. Added <Key>Control + Up</Key> and <Key>Control + Down</Key> to both KeyBindings/2025_07_10_PakettiKeyBindings.xml (macOS) and KeyBindings/2025_07_10_PakettiKeyBindings_Linux_Windows.xml (Linux/Windows) inside the Pattern Sequencer section (<Identifier>Pattern Sequencer</Identifier>). Re-import the keybinding preset to get the new defaults; existing users can also bind these manually via Edit → Preferences → Keys → Pattern Sequencer → Paketti.

2026-05-08 - Fix: Renoise 3.1 compatibility — device_chain_index crash and show_custom_dialog overload error

Fixed two Renoise 3.1 (API 5) crashes:

2026-05-06 - Feature: Paketti Preferences "Open folder to Paketti KeyBindings" button

Added a new "Folders" row in the Paketti Preferences dialog with a button labelled "Open folder to Paketti KeyBindings (macOS/Linux/Windows)". Clicking it opens the KeyBindings/ folder inside the Paketti tool bundle in the OS file manager (Finder on macOS, file manager on Linux, Explorer on Windows). Uses renoise.app():open_path() for cross-platform compatibility with an io.exists() guard to show a warning if the folder is missing.

2026-05-06 - Feature: Note Release Device Gate — robust MIDI note-on/off → device active toggle

A robust replacement for the brittle "Note Release Device Gate" prototype tool. Plays a MIDI note → the targeted device on the track turns ON; release the note → the device turns OFF. Solves the long-standing gap that Signal Follower can't fill: held-key gating that doesn't depend on an audio signal (so a snare hit can feed into a delay that keeps building until you actually release the key).

Differences from the prototype it replaces:

Menu entries added under Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:Note Release Gate: — Add Selected Device as Target, Remove Targets For Current Track, Clear All Targets, List Targets, Start, Stop, Toggle Start/Stop, Toggle Latch Mode, Toggle Automation Writing, Toggle Pattern Scanner. Also DSP Device:Paketti:Note Release Gate Add as Target and Mixer:Paketti:Note Release Gate Toggle Start/Stop.

Keybindings (Global): Paketti:Note Release Gate Add Selected Device as Target, Paketti:Note Release Gate Toggle Start/Stop, Paketti:Note Release Gate Start, Paketti:Note Release Gate Stop, Paketti:Note Release Gate Toggle Latch Mode, Paketti:Note Release Gate Toggle Automation Writing, Paketti:Note Release Gate Toggle Pattern Scanner, Paketti:Note Release Gate Clear All Targets, Paketti:Note Release Gate List Targets.

MIDI mappings: Paketti:Note Release Gate Toggle Start/Stop, Paketti:Note Release Gate Toggle Latch Mode.

Engine landed first; UI dialog (target list editor with per-row note range / channel / latch toggle) ships in the same release.

2026-05-06 - Feature: Note Release Gate — quantized release

Per-target release_quantize_lines (0–64, 0 = immediate). When transport is playing and a key is released, instead of firing the gate-off immediately, the gate schedules it to fire at the next pattern line where (line - 1) % N == 0. With LPB=4 and release_quantize_lines = 4, releases snap to the next downbeat. Note-on for the same target before the scheduled release fires cancels the pending release (clean re-trigger). If the transport stops or the pattern changes before the fire line is reached, the pending release fires immediately. Pending releases are cleared on Stop. Exposed in the dialog as the quant(lines) valuebox per row.

2026-05-06 - Feature: Note Release Gate — attack/release ramps, velocity → on, sustain pedal

Three musical primitives added to make the gate genuinely performable:

New menu entry: Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:Note Release Gate:Toggle Sustain Pedal (CC 64). New keybinding: Global:Paketti:Note Release Gate Toggle Sustain Pedal.

2026-05-06 - Fix: Note Release Gate — pattern scanner no longer overrides live MIDI holds

The pattern scanner and the live MIDI gate previously fought when a held key and a pattern note OFF on the same track collided: the scanner would force the target off mid-hold, then the MIDI release would set off again. With this fix, a live MIDI hold beats the scanner — held targets are not force-released by pattern OFFs while the key is still down. The scanner regains control as soon as the key releases.

2026-05-06 - Feature: Note Release Gate v2 — gate any parameter, Sample FX Chain scope, per-song targets

Rewrote the engine to gate an arbitrary parameter on a device, not only the device's bypass. New default behaviour: when you add a #Send or #Multiband Send device as a target, the gate automatically wires up the Send's Amount (or Band1Volume) parameter with on=1.0 / off=0.0. Note-on opens the gate, note-off closes it; the destination effect on the Send track keeps running, so the delay/reverb tail decays naturally. This is the use case Signal Follower can't handle (audio gating depends on signal presence; this is gestural).

Changes:

New menu entries: Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:Note Release Gate:Add Selected Sample FX Chain Device as Target, Sample Editor:Paketti:Note Release Gate Add Sample FX Device as Target.

New keybinding: Global:Paketti:Note Release Gate Add Sample FX Device as Target.

Dialog updates: per-row parameter readout, per-row channel popup (Inherit + Ch 1-16), per-row on / off valuefields, per-song header showing current song's filename, scope indicator (track vs Sample FX Chain), and an Add Sample FX Device button.

2026-05-06 - Feature: Note Release Gate Dialog

Configuration dialog for the Note Release Gate. Pick the MIDI input device and channel filter, toggle Latch / Automation Writing / Pattern Scanner / Auto-start, manage the target list (add selected device, jump to a target's track and device, edit per-target note range with note-name display, remove individual targets, clear all), and Start/Stop the gate from one window. Note range valueboxes display as C-4, F#3, etc.

Added: Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:Note Release Gate:Show Dialog..., keybinding Global:Paketti:Note Release Gate Show Dialog, MIDI mapping Paketti:Note Release Gate Show Dialog.

2026-05-06 - Fix: Slices to Phrases Per Starting Slice — use explicit instrument column for slice targeting

Fixed the persistent C-4-on-line-1 bug: without an explicit instrument value, note events were resolved through keyzone lookup where the parent sample (sample 00, full break) covers the entire keyboard and "wins" the conflict, causing the whole sample to play through on every phrase. Now each note explicitly sets instrument_value to the correct slice sample index (sample 01 = slice 1, sample 02 = slice 2, etc.), bypassing keyzone ambiguity entirely. The instrument column is now visible in generated phrases.

2026-05-04 - Fix: Slices to Phrases Per Starting Slice — playback and keymapping fixes

Fixed two playback bugs and adjusted keymapping for the Slices to Phrases Per Starting Slice feature:

  1. Removed forced instrument column value — phrases were writing instrument_value = 0 which forced sample 0 (the unsliced parent sample) to trigger on every note, causing the full break to play through on top of the individual slice hits. Now the instrument column is left empty so Renoise's keyzone routing correctly triggers each slice.
  2. Fixed ascending pitch issue — same root cause: with instrument 0 forced, ascending slice notes were pitching up the parent sample instead of triggering individual slices at their correct pitch.
  3. Keymappings now start from C#0 (note 1) instead of C-0 (note 0), making it easy to octave-transpose a typical play-through sequence into the phrase-mapped range.

Instrument column is now hidden in generated phrases since it's no longer needed.

2026-05-04 - Feature: Slices to Phrases Per Starting Slice

New feature that creates N phrases from a sliced break — one phrase per starting slice. Phrase 1 plays from slice 1 through the entire break. Phrase 2 starts from slice 2 onward, etc. All note timing is recalculated relative to each phrase's starting slice (first note forced to line 1 delay 0, subsequent notes repositioned with sub-line delay precision). The result is a new duplicated instrument with phrase playback set to Keymap mode, each phrase mapped to a consecutive note starting from C#0.

Supports both beat-sync timing (when the sample has beat sync enabled) and BPM/LPB-based frame-accurate timing. Optional detected-BPM variants use transient analysis for orphaned breaks without known tempo.

2026-05-04 - Feature: Canvas View — per-cell velocity + parity batch 1

Per-cell velocity is now a real 8120 feature, not a canvas-only illusion. Both views read/write the same row_elements.velocities[step] table; print_to_pattern writes the explicit volume_value into the pattern's note column. nil (default) leaves the volume column empty so Renoise plays the note at full velocity, identical to pre-refactor behaviour.

Canvas mouse model now matches the spec:

Cells render velocity as bar height, dropping back to full when the velocity is nil. In Yxx mode the velocity is irrelevant (Yxx is boolean), so cells render full-height there.

Parity batch 1 — per-row controls in left strip:

Animated playhead in canvas: hooked into 8120's existing play_step_index update loop. The amber border now follows the play cursor across cells just like 8120's classic dialog highlights its number buttons.

2026-05-04 - Refactor: Canvas View moves into 8120, standalone 8ch960samp file removed

The standalone PakettiGroovebox8ch960samp.lua file was a parallel re-implementation that could only access ~15% of 8120's surface (file-local functions like random_gate, fill_empty_steps, clear_all, fetch_pattern, reverse_all, random_all were unreachable). The MK2 promise — feature-complete with 8120, plus selection-based editing on top — was unachievable from outside.

Moved the canvas view to live INSIDE PakettiEightOneTwenty.lua at the bottom of the file, where it has direct access to every file-local 8120 function. The canvas is now a real second view of 8120's actual state — clicking a cell fires 8120's existing print_to_pattern notifier, the verb palette calls 8120's actual random_gate/clear_all/fetch_pattern/reverse_all/random_all/randomize_all/randomize_groove directly, and the Sequential Load family is on the same palette.

Verbs that work right now in Canvas View:

Selection model: click a cell to toggle, click+drag to range-select within or across rows, alt+click selects the entire 4-step quadrant, shift+click extends the existing selection.

Launch points:

The classic 8120 dialog auto-opens in the background if it isn't already (so rows[] is populated). Closing the canvas view leaves the classic 8120 dialog open. Both windows can be visible simultaneously and edit the same state. Future passes will layer in automation-stack drawing per row, automatron-style modulator generators, per-cell velocity/probability/roll modes, and Akai MidiMix LED feedback for selection — all alongside the canvas, all with full access to 8120's data model.

Removed: PakettiGroovebox8ch960samp.lua (deleted), timed_require("PakettiGroovebox8ch960samp") (removed from main.lua). The previous standalone-file CHANGESLOG entries for the 8ch960samp prototype refer to functionality that is now part of 8120 itself.

2026-05-04 - Fix: Groovebox 8ch960samp (MK2) is no longer imaginary

The MK2 prototype was rendering seeded fake data (kick-808.wav, snare-clap.wav, etc.) and a hardcoded "lane 5 muted" — none of which reflected the user's actual song or 8120 state. Lane heights also didn't align with the side-strip text rows because style="panel" added chrome padding the canvas didn't account for, so the canvas extended below the side strips.

Changes:

2026-05-04 - Feature: Groovebox 8ch960samp (MK2) — Sequential Load buttons added

The MK2 prototype now exposes the same Load…, RandomLoad…, and RandomLoadAll… buttons as 8120 in its verb palette. They call the existing 8120 load functions (loadSequentialSamplesWithFolderPrompts, loadSequentialDrumkitSamples, loadSequentialRandomLoadAll) which populate the actual song instruments — independent of the prototype's local model — so the same workflow works in both dialogs without bouncing between them.

2026-05-04 - Feature: Groovebox 8120 — Sequential Load family is now triggerable

The three Sequential Load actions (Sequential Load, Sequential RandomLoad, Sequential RandomLoadAll) used to live only as buttons inside the open dialog, which meant: no MIDI mapping (couldn't fire from a controller), no keybinding, no menu entry, and no way to use them when nothing was selected or no row was focused. Now wired for all three trigger paths so you can repopulate the entire 8120 from any state — including a fresh empty song where nothing has been touched yet.

Each safe-launcher opens the 8120 dialog first if it isn't already open, so the launchers also serve as a one-shot "boot a Groovebox from scratch" button.

2026-05-04 - Fix: Groovebox 8120 load error on Renoise 3.5.4 (strict globals)

PakettiEightOneTwentyFocusedRow = PakettiEightOneTwentyFocusedRow or 1 read the global before declaring it, which trips Renoise's strict-globals guard (__index blocks unknown globals) and prevented Paketti from loading at all on a fresh tool install. Replaced with a rawget / rawset pair so the variable is created without a prior read. Reported by Issou2suc on Renoise 3.5.4 / Windows.

2026-05-04 - Feature: Groovebox 8120 — Akai MidiMix Auto-Bridge with LED Feedback

The Akai MidiMix is now auto-opened (input + output) when the 8120 dialog appears, and auto-closed when it goes away. No MIDI-learn dance, no Renoise mapping required — Paketti talks to the device directly.

Device detection is name-fuzzy (matches "MIDI Mix", "MidiMix", "MIDIMIX", with or without bus suffixes). If no MidiMix is attached the bridge silently no-ops; the rest of 8120 is unaffected.

New mapping for manual control: Paketti:Paketti Groovebox 8120:MidiMix Bridge Toggle [Trigger] — toggle the bridge on/off without closing the dialog.

The "Solo" button (note 27) is currently unused — reserved for a future modifier (clear / half-velocity / select).

2026-05-04 - Feature: Groovebox 8120 — Focused-Row MIDI Page Model

A single bank of 16 physical buttons on a MIDI controller (e.g. EXP1-EXP8 + P1-P8) can now drive the step grid of whichever of the 8 rows is currently focused, instead of needing one bank per row. The focused row is changed with "Focused Row Next/Previous" or "Focused Row Set 1..8" mappings — typically bound to a "page" / "scene" button on the controller. The focused row is highlighted in the dialog as you switch.

New MIDI mappings under Paketti:Paketti Groovebox 8120::

LED feedback (lighting the controller's buttons to mirror the focused row's step state) is a follow-up: it requires sending MIDI back out and the SysEx vocabulary differs per controller — name the controller to wire that next.

2026-05-04 - Prototype: Groovebox 8ch960samp (MK2) — Full Verb Suite + View Modes

Second pass on the canvas prototype — wired every stub verb, added per-lane view modes, and added the modifier-key selection model.

Still no song integration — next pass wires the EightOneTwenty pattern read/write so the prototype edits actual tracks.

2026-05-04 - Prototype: Groovebox 8ch960samp (MK2) — Canvas Dialog

Working render-only Lua prototype of the rethought 8120 dialog. Single canvas paints all 8 lanes (4-white/4-black quadrant backgrounds, contrast-inverted triggers, velocity-as-bar-height, playhead as 2px amber border, selection as purple wash + border). Click toggles a cell, click+drag selects a range or rectangle, verb palette acts on the active selection. Working verbs: nudge ←/→ (rotate within selection), invert, reverse, fill, clear. Stub verbs (status-line only): density±, humanize, roll, copy/paste, euclid…, curve…. Step count toggles 16↔32 live. No song integration yet — this is a visual scratchpad to refine layout before wiring to the EightOneTwenty data model.

2026-05-04 - Design: Groovebox 8ch960samp (MK2) — Canvas Mockup

First sketch of the Groovebox 8120 successor. Canvas-rendered grid with 4-white/4-black quadrant backgrounds (and 8-quadrant 32-step variant), selection-as-primary-gesture (single-row range, alt+click quadrant, shift+drag rectangle across rows), verb palette acting on the active selection (nudge ←/→/↑/↓, invert, reverse, density±, humanize, roll, copy/paste/stamp, euclid, apply curve, probability), per-cell velocity rendered as bar height, playhead drawn as a 2px border so quadrant identity survives playback, per-lane settings collapsed into a right-side ribbon. Mockup files: manual/Screenshots/groovebox_8ch960samp_mockup.svg (source) and groovebox_8ch960samp_mockup.png (2560-wide render). No code changes — design exploration only.

2026-05-02 - Feature: Sidechain Workflow Pack III — Phrases, Recipes, Modulator, Hydra Fanout, Capture

Five more Sidechain Doofer follow-ons completing the Mr. Zensphere video roadmap.

Trigger Phrase Library. Generates 12 ready-made rhythmic ducking phrases inside the chosen trigger instrument (named with SC: prefix): 4-on-floor, Half-time, 8th-gate, 16th-gate, Trance gate, Dub-stab, Garage swing, Beats 1+3, Beats 2+4, Off-beats, Triplet 8ths, Build-up. Drop a phrase trigger in your pattern instead of placing notes by hand. Skips duplicates if phrases already exist. Menu: Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:DSP:Generate Trigger Phrase Library and Instrument Box:Paketti:Generate Trigger Phrase Library. Keybinding: Global:Paketti:Generate Trigger Phrase Library. MIDI mapping: Paketti:Generate Trigger Phrase Library.

Sidechain Recipe save/load. Save the full active_preset_data of the Sidechain Doofer's three (or four) devices on the selected track to an XML file in Presets/SidechainRecipes/. Reload writes it back onto the matching devices. Use case: save "Verse Pump", "Chorus Pump", "Bridge Pump" recipes and switch them per song section. Menu: Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:DSP:Save Sidechain Recipe... and Load Sidechain Recipe.... Keybindings: Global:Paketti:Save Sidechain Recipe Dialog, Global:Paketti:Load Sidechain Recipe Dialog.

Trigger-Driven Modulator. Same Key Tracker → Custom LFO chassis as the Sidechain Doofer, but the LFO destination is user-pickable: any device on the track, any parameter on that device. Reframes "sidechain compression" as generic rhythm-locked modulation. Apply the Sidechain Curve Pack to filter cutoff, send amount, sample offset, reverb size, EQ band gain — anything modulatable. Dialog with target-device popup, target-parameter popup, and curve picker. Menu: Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:DSP:Trigger-Driven Modulator... (also Mixer + DSP Chain). Keybinding: Global:Paketti:Trigger-Driven Modulator Dialog. MIDI mapping: Paketti:Trigger-Driven Modulator Dialog.

Sidechain Hydra Fanout. Inserts Key Tracker → *LFO → *Hydra on the selected track and wires the LFO into the Hydra's Input. The Hydra's 9 outputs can each be routed to a different destination (manually wired by user), so one trigger curve drives nine destinations across the project at near-zero CPU. Project-wide ducking from a single shape. Menu: Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:DSP:Insert Sidechain Hydra Fanout (also Mixer). Keybinding: Global:Paketti:Insert Sidechain Hydra Fanout. MIDI mapping: Paketti:Insert Sidechain Hydra Fanout.

Capture Trigger Notes from Sample. Walks the selected sample's audio buffer in line-sized windows (samples_per_line = sample_rate × 60 / (BPM × LPB)), peak-detects with onset/debounce thresholds, and writes trigger notes into a target pattern column at the corresponding line + delay position (sub-line accurate via delay column). Velocity = scaled peak amplitude with linear / sqrt / squared curves. Use case: take any audio kick, snare, or rhythmic loop and convert it to a programmable trigger pattern. Dialog at Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:DSP:Capture Trigger Notes from Sample... and Sample Editor:Paketti:Capture Trigger Notes from Sample.... Keybindings: Sample Editor:Paketti:Capture Trigger Notes from Sample Dialog, Global:Paketti:Capture Trigger Notes from Sample Dialog. MIDI mapping: Paketti:Capture Trigger Notes from Sample Dialog.

2026-05-02 - Feature: Trigger Column Mirror + Velocity-Sensitive Doofer + Column Tagging

Three follow-on features for the Sidechain workflow.

Trigger Column Mirror. Mirrors note positions from a source track's note column into a target track's note column as trigger-instrument notes — automating the manual copy/paste step from the Mr. Zensphere video. Dialog at Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:DSP:Trigger Column Mirror... and Pattern Editor:Paketti:Trigger Column Mirror... lets you pick: source track + column, target track + column, trigger instrument (auto-defaults to existing trigger), scope (current pattern / all patterns), every-Nth-hit filter (1–16), minimum velocity threshold (0–127), and whether to tag the target column "trigger". Preserves source velocity into the target column. Preserves source delay column for sub-line accuracy. Keybindings: Global:Paketti:Trigger Column Mirror Dialog, Pattern Editor:Paketti:Trigger Column Mirror Dialog. MIDI mapping: Paketti:Trigger Column Mirror Dialog.

Velocity-Sensitive Sidechain Doofer. New checkbox in the Sidechain Doofer Auto-Loader dialog: when enabled, inserts a *Velocity Tracker device alongside the Key Tracker, routed to the LFO's Amplitude parameter. Soft trigger notes duck softly, hard trigger notes slam — dynamic sidechain that native audio compressors can't easily replicate. Filtered to the same chosen instrument as the Key Tracker.

Column Tagging. New keybinding Pattern Editor:Paketti:Tag Selected Note Column as Trigger renames the currently selected note column to "trigger" via track:set_column_name(), making sidechain trigger columns visually distinct from melodic content. Auto-applied to the target column by Trigger Column Mirror (toggle in dialog).

2026-05-02 - Feature: Sidechain Doofer Auto-Loader (one-click Mr. Zensphere chain)

Drops the full Mr. Zensphere–style sidechain chain on the selected track in one operation: inserts *Key Tracker → *LFO → Compressor at the end of the track DSP chain, wires the Key Tracker to reset the LFO on every note from a chosen trigger instrument, wires the LFO to drive the compressor's threshold, applies a default ducking curve (defaults to EDM Pump but the dialog offers all 8 sidechain curves plus 4 inverted classic shapes), and sets sane sidechain compressor defaults (~4:1 ratio, fast attack, ~80ms release). Auto-detects existing trigger / Kick Trigger / Snare Trigger / Hat Trigger instruments and pre-selects them. Standardized macro names across all auto-loaded sidechain instances: Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Makeup, Lines/Cycle, Amount, Offset — same order, same names, every time, so muscle memory builds. Dialog: Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:DSP:Sidechain Doofer Auto-Loader... with trigger instrument popup, curve popup, envelope length popup (64/128/256/512/1024), and lines-per-cycle valuebox. One-click variant for power users: Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:DSP:Insert Sidechain Doofer (defaults). Mirrored under Mixer:Paketti: and DSP Chain:Paketti:. Keybindings: Global:Paketti:Sidechain Doofer Auto-Loader Dialog, Global:Paketti:Insert Sidechain Doofer Defaults. MIDI mappings: Paketti:Sidechain Doofer Auto-Loader Dialog, Paketti:Insert Sidechain Doofer.

2026-05-02 - Feature: Sidechain Trigger Instrument generator

Creates a silent MIDI-trigger instrument matching the spec from the Mr. Zensphere sidechain video — single zero-amplitude mono sample (8 frames at 44100 Hz, 16-bit), velocity→volume disabled, key→pitch disabled, no loop, sample volume at -INF dB, full velocity range, full key range. The instrument exists only to emit note events that drive a Key Tracker inside a Sidechain Doofer; it produces no sound. If an instrument with the requested name already exists, selects it instead of creating a duplicate. Menu entries added under Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:DSP:Sidechain Trigger Instrument: for trigger (default), Kick Trigger, Snare Trigger, Hat Trigger, and Custom name... (opens a textfield prompt). Also added under Instrument Box:Paketti:Create Sidechain Trigger Instrument and Instrument Box:Paketti:Create Sidechain Trigger Instrument (custom name).... Keybindings: Global:Paketti:Create Sidechain Trigger Instrument, Global:Paketti:Create Sidechain Trigger Instrument Kick, Global:Paketti:Create Sidechain Trigger Instrument Snare, Global:Paketti:Create Sidechain Trigger Instrument Hat, Global:Paketti:Create Sidechain Trigger Instrument Custom. MIDI mapping: Paketti:Create Sidechain Trigger Instrument.

2026-05-02 - Feature: Sidechain Curve Pack (8 ducking-shaped LFO custom waveforms)

Added 8 ready-made sidechain ducking curves that plug into the existing PakettiAutomationCurves LFO Custom Waveform writer. Each shape applies to the currently selected *LFO device in a track DSP chain or sample FX chain — useful inside Mr. Zensphere–style sidechain Doofers (Key Tracker → Custom LFO → Compressor) or any rhythm-locked parameter modulation. The pack: EDM Pump (instant drop, exponential recovery), Reverse Pump (slow descent, snap recovery — for cycling LFOs), Double Tap (two pumps per cycle), Triple Tap (three pumps per cycle), Kick Ghost (tiny brief dip near start, mostly flat), Bump Pump (fast drop, two-stage release), Breath Pump (smooth cosine swell), Swing Duck (asymmetric off-beat duck with secondary dip). Menu entries added under Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:DSP:Sidechain Curves:<Name> and DSP Device:Paketti:Sidechain Curves:<Name>. Keybindings added: Global:Paketti:Sidechain Curve <Name> for all 8. MIDI mappings added: Paketti:Sidechain Curve <Name> for all 8. Shapes are also injected into the global PakettiAutomationCurvesShapes table so the existing automation insert pipeline can use them.

2026-05-01 - Fix: ValhallaVintageVerb Mix parameter wrong in Sample FX Chain

Fixed ValhallaVintageVerb's Mix parameter (parameter 1) being set to 0.304 (30.4% wet) instead of 0 (fully dry) when inserted into a Sample FX Chain. The Track FX chain version already correctly set Mix to 0. Also added missing ValhallaDelay and ValhallaShimmer default parameter overrides to the Sample FX chain path — these were only present in the Track FX chain path before.

2026-05-01 - Fix: Menu organization cleanup (Pattern → Pattern Editor, Paketti Export)

Moved 6 menu entries from the orphan submenu Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:Pattern into the established Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:Pattern Editor submenu where they belong. Affected entries: Alias Identical Pattern Slots, Clear Pattern Aliases, Copy Delay to All Same Notes in Track, Match Automation with all Aliases, Pattern Delay Viewer, Set Delay for All Same Notes in Track. Also fixed the previously shipped Paketti Export.. → Paketti Export typo in Main Menu → File that caused Batch Convert SF2 to XRNI to appear in a separate rogue submenu.

2026-04-20 - Improvement: "Remember to Restart Renoise" button in Menu Configuration

Added a "Remember to Restart Renoise!" button at the bottom of the Paketti Menu Configuration dialog (Main Menu:Options:Paketti Menu Configuration...). Since the Renoise Lua API does not provide a way to quit or restart Renoise programmatically, this button closes the dialog and shows a status bar reminder that Renoise needs to be restarted for menu changes to take effect.

2026-04-20 - Fix: Instrument Transpose Dialog "Apply" crash

Fixed a crash when pressing "Apply" in the Paketti Instrument Transpose dialog. The error was unknown property or function 'number_of_lines' for an object of type 'PatternTrack' — the code was accessing number_of_lines on a PatternTrack object, but that property belongs to Pattern. Changed to use pattern.number_of_lines instead.

2026-04-20 - Improvement: Alphabetically sorted menu entries across all contexts

All Paketti menu entries (including "Paketti Gadgets" submenus in Mixer, Pattern Editor, Sample Editor, Instrument Box, etc.) are now registered in alphabetical order. Previously, menu entries appeared in the order their source files happened to load — which was effectively random and changed unpredictably across Renoise sessions.

How it works: Instead of registering menu entries immediately as each module loads, they are now queued into a pending table. After all modules finish loading, the entire queue is sorted alphabetically by name and then registered in sorted order. This is a two-phase approach: accumulate → sort → flush.

This affects ALL ~500+ menu entries registered via PakettiAddMenuEntry and renoise.tool():add_menu_entry. The -- prefix (disabled/separator entries) is stripped for sorting purposes so disabled entries sort alongside their enabled counterparts. Shortcut hints are still appended during registration.

2026-05-01 - Fix: Batch Convert SF2 to XRNI menu was in wrong submenu

The "Batch Convert SF2 to XRNI (Per Preset)..." menu entry was incorrectly placed under Main Menu:File:Paketti Export.. (with trailing dots) instead of the standard Main Menu:File:Paketti Export submenu. Fixed the menu path so it appears alongside all other export entries.

2026-04-20 - Improvement: Paketti Menu Configuration added to Main Menu:Options

The Paketti Menu Configuration dialog is now also available under Main Menu:Options:Paketti Menu Configuration..., right next to the existing Paketti Preferences entry. This makes it much easier to discover — previously it was only accessible via Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:!Preferences:Paketti Menu Configuration....

2026-04-15 - Fix: Switch Note Instrument Dialog no longer haunts you after closing

The Switch Note Instrument Dialog (Pattern Editor:Paketti:Switch Note Instrument Dialog...) had a bug where closing the window with the X button didn't actually fully close it — the dialog would pop back up every time you switched tracks, and after a few cycles of this, Renoise would crash.

What was happening: The dialog was leaving invisible "listeners" behind when you X'd it out. Those listeners kept watching for track changes, and every track switch would force the dialog back open. Each reopen left more listeners behind, piling up until Renoise gave up and crashed.

What's fixed: Closing the dialog now properly cleans up after itself no matter how you close it — X button, ESC key, or switching songs. If anything unexpected happens during a refresh, the dialog quietly closes itself instead of crashing. It also no longer tries to scan send tracks, master tracks, or group tracks (which don't have notes and would cause errors).

2026-04-13 - Feature: Chiptune-style Note Shapes for Phrase Generator + Musical Chord Progression Arpeggiator

Inspired by Halebop's gorgeous 8chip Renoise tool, both Paketti's phrase tools gained the classic tracker-arp note motions that were missing.

Paketti Phrase Generator — three new buttons next to Random / Ascending / Descending in the note-order row:

The three shapes auto-sync the dialog's note-count slider so the displayed count stays accurate. Open via Main Menu:Tools:Paketti Gadgets:Phrase Generator....

Musical Chord Progression Arpeggiator — six new named pattern-shape Type buttons (Asc · Desc · Ping-Pong · Down-Up · Skip · Random) alongside the existing "Straight" and "Looped" permutation modes. Before, picking a 4-note arp meant scrolling through 24 permutations on the canvas grid. Now you click the shape you want and get one clean pattern. Random reshuffles every time you press it — instant inspiration. When a named shape is selected, only one pattern canvas appears (no grid clutter). Open via Main Menu:Tools:Paketti Gadgets:Musical Chord Progression Arpeggiator... or Global:Paketti:Musical Chord Progression Arpeggiator....

Both tools work with any chord, any scale, any instrument — drop them into a phrase, hit play, done.

Big thanks to Halebop for 8chip — go grab it, it's a beauty: https://github.com/halebop17/8chip

No new menu entries, keybindings, or MIDI mappings — both changes extend existing dialogs.

2026-04-11 - Feature: Delay Column Randomization (Humanize Micro-Timing)

Added delay column fill/randomization to Paketti, both integrated into the existing Fill dialog and as a standalone tool.

Paketti Fill Dialog — New "Fill Delay" checkbox with Delay Min / Delay Max vertical sliders (00-FF). When enabled, filled lines also receive random delay values in the specified range. The delay column is auto-made visible when filling. This works with all existing fill modes (Constant, From-To, Random, Euclidean, etc.).

Standalone Randomize Delay Column Dialog — A dedicated dialog (Main Menu:Tools:Paketti Gadgets:Randomize Delay Column Dialog...) with Min/Max sliders and buttons for Selection and Track operations. Enter key triggers "Randomize Track". Includes clear functions to zero out delay values.

Menu entries added:

Keyboard shortcuts added:

MIDI mappings added:

2026-04-09 - Improvement: Function Search auto-detects stale cache

The Function Search (autocomplete) now automatically detects when any .lua file has been modified since the cache was last built, and rebuilds the cache on next open. Previously, newly added menu entries, keybindings, or MIDI mappings would not appear in the Function Search until the user manually rebuilt the cache via Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:!Preferences:Function Search Debug:Rebuild Autocomplete Cache.

2026-04-09 - Feature: Paketti Dynamic Views added to Main Menu Options

Added three Dynamic Views menu entries to Main Menu:Options:

These open the Dynamic View configuration dialogs directly from the Options menu, making it easy to set up your preferred view layouts without navigating through Tools:Paketti:!Preferences.

2026-04-09 - Feature: Paketti Function Search added to Main Menu Options

Added Main Menu:Options:Paketti Function Search... menu entry so that the Function Search dialog is easy to find from the Options menu. The entry invokes pakettiAutocompleteToggle, the same function used by the existing keybinding Global:Paketti:Paketti Function Search... and the Main Menu:Tools:Paketti Gadgets entry.

2026-04-09 - Fix: All PLAYMODE constants crash on Renoise 3.1.1

All three renoise.PatternTrackAutomation.PLAYMODE_* class statics (PLAYMODE_POINTS, PLAYMODE_LINES, PLAYMODE_CURVES) do not exist in API 5 (Renoise 3.1.1) — even reading them causes a fatal std::logic_error at boot. Replaced all 53 references across 6 files with safe global constants PAKETTI_PLAYMODE_POINTS (1), PAKETTI_PLAYMODE_LINES (2), PAKETTI_PLAYMODE_CURVES (3 on API 6+, degrades to 2 on API 5) defined in PakettiCompat.lua using hardcoded numeric values. Files changed: PakettiAutomation.lua, PakettiAutomationCurves.lua, PakettiAutomationStack.lua, PakettiCanvasExperiments.lua, PakettiEQ30.lua, PakettiHyperEdit.lua.

2026-04-09 - Feature: Renoise 2.8 (API 4) compatibility — Paketti 2.8

Paketti now supports Renoise 2.8 (API version 4). The module loading in main.lua has been restructured into three clearly separated tiers:

The manifest is set to <ApiVersion>4</ApiVersion> with <Id>org.lackluster.Paketti28</Id> and <Name>Paketti 2.8</Name>, allowing side-by-side installation with Paketti 3.1 and Paketti 3.5.

Added PAKETTI_HAS_SLICING flag to PakettiCompat.lua. Fixed align_instrument_names() in main.lua to guard sample_device_chains access behind PAKETTI_HAS_DEVICE_CHAINS.

2026-04-09 - Improvement: Paketti 3.1 now installable side-by-side with Paketti 3.5

Updated the CI/CD build pipeline so the Renoise 3.1.x legacy build uses a different tool identity, allowing both versions to be installed simultaneously in Renoise's Tools folder.

Changes to the API 5 (Renoise 3.1.x) build:

Users running Renoise 3.1.x and 3.5 on the same machine can now have both "Paketti" and "Paketti 3.1" installed without conflicts.

2026-04-09 - Feature: Centralised PakettiCompat.lua compatibility layer

Created PakettiCompat.lua — a single centralised file for all API-version compatibility code. This replaces the scattered renoise.API_VERSION checks throughout the codebase with clean global flags and helper functions.

New file: PakettiCompat.lua — loaded first by main.lua before anything else. Contains:

Refactored 41 files — replaced all 119 renoise.API_VERSION checks with the appropriate PAKETTI_HAS_* flags or PAKETTI_API references. Replaced all 36 inline steps ternaries with pakettiSteps() calls. Every API compatibility check in Paketti now flows through one file.

2026-04-09 - Fix: Guard beat_sync_mode in sliceDrumKit for Renoise 3.1.1 compatibility

PakettiTkna.lua sliceDrumKit() now uses pakettiSafeSetBeatSyncMode() to apply beat_sync_mode only on API ≥ 6. On Renoise 3.1.1, percussion/texture beat sync modes are silently skipped instead of crashing. Affects Sample Editor:Paketti:Slice Drumkit (Percussion) and Sample Editor:Paketti:Slice Drumkit (Texture).

2026-04-09 - Fix: Version-guarded steps properties for dual Renoise 3.1.1 / 3.5 compatibility

Restored all 36 steps properties on valuebox and slider widgets across 10 files, wrapped with (renoise.API_VERSION >= 6) and {...} or nil. On Renoise 3.5+ (API 6.2), custom step increments work as designed. On Renoise 3.1.1 (older API), the guard evaluates to nil, which is the same as omitting the property entirely — no crash. Files: PakettiFill.lua (6), PakettieSpeak.lua (5), PakettiPhraseGenerator.lua (5), PakettiStemLoader.lua (5), PakettiEightOneTwenty.lua (4), PakettiStretch.lua (4), PakettiPitchControl.lua (3), PakettiMidi.lua (2), PakettiPCMWriter.lua (1), PakettiAudioProcessing.lua (1).

2026-04-08 - Feature: Write Notes Flood variants — write all 120 notes regardless of sample mappings

Added 12 new "Flood" variants of Write Notes. Unlike the standard Write Notes functions (which only write notes that have sample mappings), the Flood variants write ALL 120 notes (C-0 through B-9) regardless of whether the instrument has samples mapped to those notes. This is useful for "flooding" a pattern with note data that doesn't necessarily need to trigger a sample — for example, controlling external MIDI gear, testing, or creative purposes.

New keybindings (all Pattern Editor:Paketti: scope):

New menu entries under Pattern Editor:Paketti:Write Notes::

The Flood Pro variants use selection_in_pattern_pro() and silently skip group/send/master tracks and effect columns, same as the existing Pro variants.

2026-04-08 - Fix: SBx loop verify crash — PatternTrack does not have line notifier methods

Fixed crashes in PakettiExperimental_Verify.lua where has_line_notifier(), add_line_notifier(), and remove_line_notifier() were called on PatternTrack objects (returned by pattern:track(idx)). These methods only exist on Pattern objects, not PatternTrack. The SBx loop analyzer (sbx_add_line_notifiers / sbx_remove_line_notifiers) now uses a single Pattern-level notifier instead of per-PatternTrack notifiers. The Pattern notifier callback already receives pos.track, so no functionality is lost.

2026-04-08 - Improvement: Write Notes now writes to all note columns in selection

Refactored writeNotesMethod and writeNotesMethodEditStep (PakettiPatternEditor.lua) into a shared writeNotesCore function. When a selection exists, notes are now written across ALL note columns in the highlighted selection (across multiple tracks if selected), not just the column where the cursor sits. Effect columns in the selection are silently skipped. If the selection contains only effect columns, the user sees "No note columns in selection. Effect columns cannot contain notes." When no selection exists, the previous behavior is preserved: cursor must be on a note column, writes from cursor to end of pattern.

Affects all six Write Notes variants:

2026-04-08 - Feature: Write Notes Pro (multi-column, multi-track)

Added 6 new "Pro" Write Notes variants that write across ALL selected note columns in a selection_in_pattern highlight, spanning multiple tracks. These use selection_in_pattern_pro() to identify every selected note column across all selected tracks. Group tracks, send tracks, master tracks, and effect columns are gracefully skipped — no errors.

Behavior:

New keybindings (Pattern Editor:Paketti:...):

New menu entries under Pattern Editor:Paketti:Write Notes: with matching names.

Also refactored shared note-building and ordering logic into helper functions buildNotesList() and orderNotes() in PakettiPatternEditor.lua.

2026-04-08 - Fix: Write Notes now respects pattern selection

Both writeNotesMethod and writeNotesMethodEditStep (PakettiPatternEditor.lua) now respect the highlighted selection in the pattern editor. Previously, these functions always wrote from the cursor position to the end of the pattern. Now, if a selection exists (selection_in_pattern), notes are written only within the selected range. If no selection exists, the old behavior (cursor to end of pattern) is preserved.

This affects all six Write Notes variants:

2026-04-08 - Fix: Load New Instrument with Current Slice Markers crash on position 0

Fixed a crash in both loadNewWithCurrentSliceMarkers and loadNewWithCurrentSliceMarkersLengthMatching (PakettiLoaders.lua) where scaling slice marker positions could produce a value of 0 after rounding. Renoise requires slice positions to be >= 1, so assigning a 0 caused logic_error: 'invalid slice sample position index 0, valid values are 1 to ...'. Both functions now clamp markers to >= 1, sort them in ascending order, and remove duplicates before applying.

2026-04-08 - Improvement: SBx Pattern Loop Hack robustness improvements

Five additional robustness improvements to the SBx Pattern Loop Hack (PakettiExperimental_Verify.lua):

  1. playing_observable notifier: Repeat counts and state are now reset instantly when playback stops via transport.playing_observable, instead of waiting for the next idle callback to notice. This eliminates the brief window where stale state could persist.

  2. Live re-analysis on pattern edits: Line edit notifiers are installed on the currently-playing pattern's tracks. When the user adds, removes, or modifies SBx commands during playback, the monitor detects the change and re-analyzes on the next idle tick — preserving repeat counts for unchanged loop pairs.

  3. Fixed double analysis in reset_repeat_counts(): Previously called analyze_loops() and then InitSBx() which called analyze_loops() again. Now analyzes once and directly ensures the idle notifier is active.

  4. Status bar feedback: During playback, the status bar now shows SBx: loop 2/5 (lines 8-16) when a loop triggers, giving visual confirmation that SBx is working.

  5. Proper cleanup on disable/document change: disable_monitoring() and PakettiSBxNewDocumentHandler() now remove line edit notifiers and reset the sbx_needs_reanalyze flag, preventing stale notifiers from accumulating across songs or toggle cycles.

2026-04-08 - Fix: SBx Pattern Loop Hack complete rewrite

Complete rewrite of the SBx Pattern Loop Hack (PakettiExperimental_Verify.lua) for reliability and performance:

  1. Scans all tracks: SB0/SBx commands are now detected across ALL sequencer tracks, send tracks, and master track, in ALL effect columns — not just the Master Track's first effect column. This matches Impulse Tracker behavior where SBx is a global pattern command.

  2. O(1) playback lookup: Analysis pre-builds a hash table keyed by SBx end-line numbers. During playback, the idle callback does a simple table lookup per line instead of iterating all pairs — zero overhead when no SBx is on the current line.

  3. First-tick coverage: On playback start or pattern wrap, the monitor now checks the range [1, current_line] instead of only [current_line, current_line], preventing missed SBx commands if the first idle tick fires late.

  4. Repeat counts reset on stop: When playback stops, all repeat counts are immediately reset. Previously they survived across stop/start cycles, causing loops to resume mid-count.

  5. Correct initialization order: playPattern() (Impulse Tracker F6) now initializes SBx monitoring AFTER setting the playback position, so the correct pattern is analyzed.

  6. Preference sync: Replaced ambiguous monitoring_enabled with sbx_monitoring_enabled to avoid shadowing the same variable name used in PakettiAutoSamplify.lua. State now always syncs from preferences.PakettiSBxFollowEnabled.

  7. All previous fixes retained: Playing-pattern-vs-selected-pattern, range-based line checking, stale-pairs-across-patterns, off-by-one reset, and wrap detection — all carried forward from the prior commit.

Files changed: PakettiExperimental_Verify.lua, PakettiImpulseTracker.lua.

2026-04-07 - Removal: Dirtywave M8 and Teenage Engineering OP-1 modules

Removed PakettiM8Export.lua and PakettiOP1Export.lua entirely. Both modules were already disabled (commented out in main.lua) and non-functional. They have been fully deleted along with all references in the autocomplete cache, preferences, and manual documentation.

Files removed: PakettiM8Export.lua, PakettiOP1Export.lua.

Files changed: main.lua (removed commented-out require lines), preferences.xml (cleared stale M8 reference), autocomplete_cache.txt (removed 18 cached entries), manual/Experimental.md (removed M8 and OP-1 documentation sections).

2026-04-06 - Feature: Batch Sample Adjust Dialog

Added Batch Sample Adjust Dialog — converts ALL samples in the selected instrument at once, combining sample rate, bit depth, channel mode, and phase inversion into a single pass. Previously, Paketti had batch conversion for bit depth and mono/stereo separately, and the single-sample "Paketti Sample Adjust" dialog for combined settings — but no unified batch version. Now there is.

The dialog scans the instrument to show a summary (sample count, most common format) and defaults to the most common settings. Uses ProcessSlicer for non-blocking operation with a progress indicator. All sample properties (name, volume, panning, transpose, fine tune, beat sync, loop, keyzone mapping, etc.) are preserved through the conversion.

Menu entries: Sample Editor:Paketti Gadgets:Batch Sample Adjust Dialog..., Sample Navigator:Paketti Gadgets:Batch Sample Adjust Dialog..., Sample Mappings:Paketti Gadgets:Batch Sample Adjust Dialog..., Instrument Box:Paketti Gadgets:Batch Sample Adjust Dialog..., Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:Paketti Gadgets:Batch Sample Adjust.

Keybindings: Sample Editor:Paketti:Batch Sample Adjust Dialog..., Global:Paketti:Batch Sample Adjust Dialog..., Sample Keyzones:Paketti:Batch Sample Adjust Dialog....

MIDI mapping: Paketti:Batch Sample Adjust Dialog....

Files changed: PakettiAudioProcessing.lua (new functions: show_batch_sample_adjust_dialog, batch_sample_adjust_process), PakettiMenuConfig.lua, PakettiMainMenuEntries.lua.

2026-04-06 - Feature: Nudge Sequence Selection Up/Down

Added Nudge Sequence Selection — select a range of sequence slots (rows) in the Pattern Sequencer/Matrix, then nudge the entire block up or down one row at a time. Each keypress moves the whole selection by 1 position, so tapping down 5 times moves the block down 5 rows. The selection follows the block automatically. If no selection exists, nudges the current single sequence slot. Mute states are preserved through the move.

Optimization (2026-04-06): Completely rewritten to move sequence slot references (insert_sequence_at / delete_sequence_at) instead of copying all pattern data line-by-line. The old approach iterated every line of every track of every column, causing multi-second freezes with the macOS beachball on large songs. The new approach is O(1) regardless of pattern size or track count — it just relocates which pattern index lives at which sequence position.

Menu entries: Pattern Sequencer:Paketti:Nudge Sequence Selection Down, Pattern Sequencer:Paketti:Nudge Sequence Selection Up, Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Nudge Sequence Selection Down, Pattern Matrix:Paketti:Nudge Sequence Selection Up, Pattern Editor:Paketti:Nudge Sequence Selection Down, Pattern Editor:Paketti:Nudge Sequence Selection Up.

Keybindings: Global:Paketti:Nudge Sequence Selection Down, Global:Paketti:Nudge Sequence Selection Up, plus Pattern Sequencer, Pattern Matrix, and Pattern Editor scoped variants.

MIDI mappings: Paketti:Nudge Sequence Selection Down, Paketti:Nudge Sequence Selection Up.

Files changed: PakettiPatternMatrix.lua (PakettiNudgeSequenceSelectionDown, PakettiNudgeSequenceSelectionUp rewritten).

2026-03-29 - Feature: Launch App Filter Mode — CLI audio processing pipeline

Added Filter Mode to the Launch App system. Each of the 6 app slots can now be toggled to filter mode, allowing CLI tools (sox, ffmpeg, shell scripts) to process samples non-blockingly and return the result as a new instrument or new sample slot.

How it works: Enable the "Filter Mode" checkbox next to any app slot in the Launch App dialog. Enter arguments in the Args textfield using $infile and $outfile placeholders (e.g. $infile -r 8000 $outfile for sox). When you click "Send Selected Sample to App" or "Send Sample Range to App", instead of launching a GUI application, Paketti saves the sample to a temp WAV, runs the CLI command in the background (non-blocking), polls for completion, and loads the result back into Renoise. The processed audio creates either a new pakettified instrument or a new sample slot, controlled by the "Filter Output" preference in the dialog.

New preferences (25 total): FilterMode1–FilterMode6 (checkbox per slot), FilterArgs1–FilterArgs6 (arguments template per slot), FilterUseStdin1–FilterUseStdin6 (reserved for v2), FilterUseStdout1–FilterUseStdout6 (reserved for v2), FilterOutputMode (popup: "New Instrument" or "New Sample Slot").

New functions: getSlotIndexForAppPath(), filterBuildCommand(), filterProcessPoll(), filterLoadResult(), filterExecuteAsync(), filterSendSample(), filterSendSampleRange(). The existing saveSelectedSampleToTempAndOpen and saveSelectedSampleRangeToTempAndOpen functions transparently redirect to the filter pipeline when filter mode is enabled for a slot — no changes needed to the 20+ menu/keybinding/MIDI invoke closures.

Dialog changes: Each app slot row now has a filter controls row beneath it (Filter Mode checkbox, Args textfield, stdin/stdout checkboxes greyed out for v2). A new "Filter Output" popup at the top of the dialog controls whether processed audio becomes a new instrument (pakettified) or a new sample slot.

Files changed: PakettiLaunchApp.lua (309 lines added), Paketti0G01_Loader.lua (25 new preferences + safety defaults).

2026-03-29 - Fix: Paketti fails to load — PakettiAddMenuEntry not yet defined

Fixed a boot crash where main.lua called PakettiAddMenuEntry at lines 511 and 522 — before Paketti0G01_Loader.lua (which defines that function) was loaded at line 1048. The two affected menu entries (Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:!Preferences:Which Sub-Column? and Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:!Preferences:Toggle Timed Require Debug) now use direct renoise.tool():add_menu_entry calls instead, fixing the variable 'PakettiAddMenuEntry' is not declared error that prevented the entire tool from loading.

2026-03-28 - Fix: Menu Configuration actually works now

The Paketti Menu Configuration dialog (Main Menu → Tools → Paketti → Paketti Menu Configuration...) lets you uncheck entire right-click menu contexts to reduce clutter — Disk Browser, DSP Device, Sample Editor, Main Menu (Tools/File/View), Pattern Editor, Mixer, and so on. But until today, unchecking things did absolutely nothing. You'd uncheck a context, restart Renoise, and the menus were still there. Here's what was wrong and what got fixed:

Bug 1 — The toggles never actually toggled. Every conditional check was written as if preferences.pakettiMenuConfig.MainMenuTools then — but in Renoise's preference system, that's checking if the preference object exists (it always does), not whether the user set it to true or false. All 278 checks were fixed to if preferences.pakettiMenuConfig.MainMenuTools.value then.

Bug 2 — Hundreds of menus bypassed the system entirely. 529 menu entries in PakettiMenuConfig.lua and ~500 more across 88 other files were registered unconditionally — they never checked any preference at all. All were wrapped in proper preference checks or routed through the PakettiAddMenuEntry wrapper that respects Menu Configuration.

Bug 3 — 4 Automation Curve entries still used direct registration. Four Track Automation:Paketti:Automation Curves:... entries in PakettiAutomation.lua bypassed the system. Fixed to use PakettiAddMenuEntry.

Bonus — Dialogs now tell you what's going on. Both Menu Configuration and Paketti Toggler dialogs now show a bold notice: "Note: Changes will only take effect after Renoise has been restarted."

How to use it: Open Tools → Paketti → Paketti Menu Configuration..., uncheck any contexts you don't want (e.g. uncheck "Disk Browser Menus" to remove all Paketti entries from the Disk Browser right-click menu), close the dialog, restart Renoise. The menus will be gone. Every single Paketti menu entry — all 2,200+ of them — now respects these toggles.

2026-03-27 - Documentation: Version Compatibility section added to manual

Added a new Version Compatibility section to the manual explaining which Renoise versions Paketti supports and what features are available on each. Every release now ships two builds: one for Renoise 3.2+ and one legacy build for Renoise 3.1.x. Both are available on the Releases page. Features gracefully scale up with your Renoise version — buttons, menus, keybindings, and MIDI mappings for unsupported features are automatically hidden.

2026-03-27 - Feature: Dump Phrase to Pattern at Cursor

New feature that is the inverse of "Replace Selection with Phrase" — push the selected phrase's content into the pattern at the current edit cursor position. Designed for quickly accessing breakbeat pattern libraries stored as instrument phrases without the usual copy/paste workflow.

Unlike the existing "Convert Phrase to Pattern" (which always writes at line 1 and overlays onto existing data), "Dump Phrase to Pattern at Cursor" clears the destination lines first for a clean overwrite, writes at whatever line your cursor is on, expands pattern length / columns / sub-column visibility as needed, and stamps the correct instrument value on every note.

2026-03-26 - Feature: Renoise 3.1.x (API 5) backwards compatibility + unified CI releases

Paketti now supports Renoise 3.1.x through runtime API gating and a consolidated CI workflow that produces two .xrnx files per release.

Runtime gating (code changes across 19 files):

beat_sync_mode (API 6 / Renoise 3.2+ only) — 73 direct property accesses replaced with safe helpers across 13 unconditionally-loaded modules:

Automation point .scaling (API 6 / Renoise 3.2+ only) — 40 property accesses replaced across 4 files:

key_handler_options (API 6 / Renoise 3.2+ only) — gated in PakettiOpenMPTLinearKeyboardLayer.lua with fallback to 3-arg show_custom_dialog on API 5

beat_sync_mode_observable — gated behind renoise.API_VERSION >= 6 in PakettiEightOneTwenty.lua

CI workflow consolidation (.github/workflows/main.yml):

2026-03-22 - Fix: Gate v2 device chain preset loading behind API 6.1

Device chain preset files (.xrdp/.xrnt) that contain v2 DSP devices are now properly gated on Renoise 3.2.

PakettiDeviceChains.lua:

2026-03-22 - Fix: v2 DSP device gating (API 6.1) and canvas internal gating for broader backwards compatibility

All "v2" DSP devices (Chorus 2, Comb Filter 2, Digital Filter, Distortion 2, Flanger 2, Gate 2, LofiMat 2, mpReverb 2, Phaser 2, RingMod 2) — introduced in Renoise 3.3 (API 6.1) — are now fully gated so Renoise 3.2 users never see keybindings, menu entries, or MIDI mappings for devices that don't exist in their version.

PakettiLoaders.lua:

PakettiMidi.lua:

PakettiControls.lua:

PakettiPresetPlusPlus.lua:

PakettiMetaSynth.lua (comprehensive v1 fallbacks):

PakettiImageToSample.lua:

PakettiSliceEffectStepSequencer.lua:

PakettiMenuConfig.lua:

main.lua:

2026-03-22 - Fix: Dialog of Dialogs — hide 3.5-only features on older Renoise, fix crash on missing globals

14 Dialog of Dialogs entries that reference functions from API 6.2-only modules (Canvas, Phrases, EQ30, HyperEdit, etc.) are now properly gated behind if renoise.API_VERSION >= 6.2. On Renoise 3.2–3.4, these dialogs are completely invisible instead of appearing as non-functional buttons that crash with "variable 'X' is not declared".

Entries moved into the API 6.2 gate:

Defensive fix in execute_dod_selection():

2026-03-22 - Fix: Backwards compatibility Phase 2b — remaining API 6.2 guards

Two remaining unguarded API 6.2 features found and fixed during comprehensive audit:

2026-03-22 - Fix: Backwards compatibility Phase 2 — API 6.1 to 6.0 gating (Renoise 3.2 support)

Comprehensive audit and fix for API 6.1+ features used in unconditionally-loaded modules, ensuring Paketti works on Renoise 3.2 (API 6.0) without crashes.

main.lua — New global helper functions:

PakettiExperimental_BlockLoopFollow.lua — CRITICAL fix:

All .short_name accesses replaced across 8 files:

PakettiLoaders.lua — Device list fixes:

2026-03-21 - Fix: Backwards compatibility gates for Canvas features (Phase 1)

Fixed backwards compatibility for Renoise versions older than 3.5 (API < 6.2). Canvas-based features now properly check the API version before executing, preventing crashes on Renoise 3.2–3.4.x.

PakettiChebyshevWaveshaper.lua:

PakettiForeignSnippets.lua:

PakettiPlayerProSuite.lua:

2026-03-20 - Feature: Lange Phi Music System Extended Integration

Added extensive new features from Christian Lange's "Phi Music System 7/10" spreadsheet — a system bridging 10 equal divisions of the octave with Phi^(n/7) tuning, developed over many years of research rooted in Viktor Schauberger's mathematical principles.

3 New Tuning Presets:

New Wavetable Generator:

3 New Tool Dialogs:

Menus (per location: Main Menu + Instrument Box):

Keybindings:

MIDI Mappings:

2026-03-18 - Feature: Trim Selected Sample to Selection and Normalize

Added Trim Selected Sample to Selection and Normalize — a combined operation that first trims the selected sample to the current selection range in the Sample Editor, then immediately normalizes the trimmed result. This is a common two-step workflow now available as a single action.

2026-03-16 - Feature: Destructive Clean Render In Place (Pattern Editor + Pattern Matrix)

Added Destructive Clean Render In Place — a variant of Clean Render In Place that also strips all DSP devices from the rendered tracks after rendering. Once the audio is bounced with all effects baked in, the original DSP chains are no longer needed, so this removes them automatically.

Available for both the Pattern Editor and the Pattern Matrix:

Pattern Editor:

Pattern Matrix:

The status bar reports exactly what was cleaned up, e.g. "deleted 3 unused instruments, stripped 7 DSP devices".

2026-03-16 - Feature: Clean Render Matrix In Place

Added Clean Render Matrix In Place — the Pattern Matrix equivalent of Clean Render In Place. Select slots in the Pattern Matrix, trigger the function, and it will:

  1. Render only the selected tracks (solos them during render, so only their audio is captured)
  2. Apply +12dB headroom compensation to match Renoise's native rendering behavior
  3. Clear all notes across all selected tracks and all patterns in the sequence range
  4. Place a C-4 with the rendered instrument at line 1 of the first sequence position on the primary track
  5. Delete unused instruments — any instruments that were only used in the rendered area and are now unused song-wide are automatically removed
  6. Auto-adjust instrument indices so the C-4 always points to the correct instrument after deletions shift indices

Works with single or multiple tracks. The instrument is named to show the sequence range and track names (e.g. "Clean Matrix Render S01-S04 (Bass+Pad+Lead)").

2026-03-16 - Fix: Clean Render In Place headroom compensation and multitrack support

Fixed two issues with Clean Render In Place:

+12dB headroom compensation: The rendered sample now has its volume set to +12dB (math.db2lin(12)) to match Renoise's native "Render Selection To Sample" behavior. Previously the rendered sample sounded quieter because no headroom compensation was applied.

Multitrack rendering: Selecting across multiple tracks now renders ALL selected tracks together (by soloing all of them during render), clears notes on ALL selected tracks, and places the C-4 on the first track. Previously only the first track was rendered and the others were left intact. Instruments are now collected from all selected tracks for the unused-instrument cleanup. The instrument name includes all rendered track names when multitrack (e.g. "Clean Render L1-L16 (Track 01+Track 02+Track 03)").

2026-03-16 - Feature: Clean Render In Place

Added Clean Render In Place — a one-keybind workflow that renders the selected pattern area, clears the original notes, places a C-4 note with the rendered instrument at the start of the selection, and automatically deletes any instruments that were only used in that selection and are now unused anywhere in the song. This replaces the manual process of: render selection → Ctrl+X → delete unused instruments → fix instrument references.

The render uses the same engine and preferences as the existing Render Pattern Selection (sample rate, bit depth, interpolation, DC Offset). After rendering, instrument indices are automatically adjusted so the C-4 note always points to the correct rendered instrument even after unused instruments are deleted and indices shift.

2026-03-15 - Feature: Dynamic Macro Toolbar Slot Keybindings

Added 10 keyboard shortcuts for triggering Dynamic Macro Toolbar slots directly, without opening the dialog. Each keybinding calls the same logic as the existing MIDI mappings — build the action list and execute the action assigned to that slot.

2026-03-15 - Feature: Replace Selection with Phrase

Added Replace Selection with Phrase — select a region in the Pattern Editor and instantly convert it into a phrase while replacing the original notes with a single phrase trigger. The selection is copied into a new phrase on the current instrument (with matching note/effect columns, sub-column visibility, and LPB), then the selected rows are cleared and a C-4 note with a Zxx phrase-trigger command is written at the first line. Phrase playback mode is automatically set to Selective so the Zxx command works immediately. The new phrase is selected in the UI so you can edit it right away.

2026-03-15 - Feature: Selection to Phrase

Added a dedicated Selection to Phrase feature that grabs whatever you've selected in the Pattern Editor and turns it into a new phrase on the selected instrument. Select a region, fire the shortcut, and you've got a phrase — complete with the same number of note columns, effect columns, volume/panning/delay sub-column visibility, and your current LPB. The phrase is set to loop by default and named with the source pattern and line range for easy identification.

Also fixed the existing Pattern to Phrase function: instrument column values are now correctly cleared when copying to a phrase (previously, the song instrument index was copied raw into the phrase's sample-index column, which could cause wrong samples to play). Both functions now support undo.

2026-03-13 - Improvement: Tighter dialog layouts

Removed unnecessary padding from four dialogs so they take up less screen space:

All four now use Renoise's default compact layout with no extra margins.

2026-03-13 - Fix: Sine Wave and AM Sine Wave generators now apply Paketti Loader settings

Previously, when you generated a sine wave or an amplitude-modulated sine wave using the built-in generators, the resulting sample ignored all of your Paketti Loader preferences — interpolation was left at Renoise's default instead of your chosen setting (e.g. Sinc), and oversample, autofade, autoseek, new note action (NNA), oneshot, and loop release were all at factory defaults regardless of what you had configured. Now both generators apply your full Paketti Loader settings to every sample they create, so generated waveforms behave consistently with loaded samples right out of the box.

2026-03-13 - Fix: Fuzzy Sample Search now actually loads SF2, RX2, PTI, ITI, IFF, 8SVX, 16SV, SND files

Previously, selecting SF2, RX2, PTI, ITI, or IFF files in Fuzzy Sample Search only showed a status message saying "Use the menu loader" — the existing Paketti loaders were not wired up. Now all formats load immediately when selected:

Also added 4 new file extensions to the scan list: ogg, 8svx, 16sv, snd. Total supported formats: 18 (up from 14).

2026-03-13 - Fix: Chebyshev Waveshaper crash when dragging sliders during auto-preview

Fixed a race condition in the Chebyshev Waveshaper where rapidly dragging sliders with auto-preview enabled would crash with finalize_sample_buffer_changes called without prepare_sample_data_changes. The root cause was concurrent ProcessSlicer coroutines: each slider drag started a new async processing coroutine without stopping the previous one, causing their prepare/finalize buffer locks to interleave and corrupt each other. The fix tracks the active slicer in a module-level variable and explicitly stops it (with safe cleanup of any outstanding buffer prepare) before starting a new preview cycle. All code paths that restore sample data (reset, toggle preview off, apply) now also stop any in-flight slicer first.

2026-03-13 - Fix: Dynamic Macro Toolbar crash — removed non-existent API calls

Fixed the Dynamic Macro Toolbar crashing on open with unknown property or function 'menu_entries'. The Renoise API does not expose renoise.tool().menu_entries or renoise.tool().keybindings for enumeration — those properties don't exist. Rewrote the action list builder to use the existing create_button_list() function (now made global) which provides 170+ Paketti dialog actions. Also fixed create_button_list being local in PakettiMainMenuEntries.lua so it's accessible from other modules.

2026-03-13 - Feature: Dynamic Macro Toolbar — Configurable 10-button quick-action toolbar

Added a new Dynamic Macro Toolbar: a 2×5 grid of configurable buttons, each assignable to any Paketti dialog action (170+ dialogs from the Dialog of Dialogs list). Toggle Edit Mode to reveal per-slot popup selectors for assigning actions. Supports named preset save/load/delete (stored in DynamicMacroToolbar_Presets/ directory). All 10 slots are individually MIDI-mappable.

New menu entries:

New keybinding:

New MIDI mappings:

New preferences: PakettiDMTSlot01 through PakettiDMTSlot10 — store the assigned action for each toolbar slot.

Also added to the Dialog of Dialogs list as "Dynamic Macro Toolbar".

2026-03-10 - Feature: Real-Time Slice Snap Grid — Snap slice markers to musical grid positions

Added a Snap Grid option to the Real-Time Slice feature. When enabled, slice markers are automatically snapped to the nearest musical grid position (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, or 1/64 note) based on the song BPM and sample rate. Works with both beat-synced and non-beat-synced samples.

New preference: Paketti Preferences → Real-Time Slice → Snap Grid popup (Off, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64). Default: Off (existing behavior preserved).

The snap calculation uses the song's current BPM to determine grid frame positions. For beat-synced samples, it uses the beat_sync_lines and LPB to compute the correct musical grid within the sample's stretched duration.

2026-03-10 - Fix: writeNotesMethod and writeNotesMethodEditStep crash when cursor is on effect column

Fixed a crash (std::logic_error: invalid note_column index '0') in writeNotesMethod and writeNotesMethodEditStep when the cursor was on an effect column instead of a note column. song.selected_note_column_index returns 0 in that case, and passing 0 to note_column() is invalid (valid range is 1–12). Both functions now check for this and show a status message ("Please select a note column first.") instead of crashing.

Affected keybindings (Pattern Editor → Paketti):

2026-03-05 - Feature: Microtonal Tunings System — Full Expansion

Major expansion of the Microtonal Tunings system with new instrument generators, wavetable generators, composition tools, and sacred geometry waveforms.

New Tuning Presets (4 sacred geometry tunings added):

New Wavetable Generators:

New Instrument Generators:

New Composition Tools:

New PCMWriter Waveforms (4 sacred geometry types):

All new features available via Main Menu, Instrument Box context menu, keybindings, and MIDI mappings. Everything accessible from the unified Microtonal Tunings Dialog.

2026-03-05 - Improvement: Slice Tools Dialog collapsible sections

The Slice Tools Dialog now has collapsible sections. Each of the 11 sections (Equal Slicing, Zero-Crossing Slicing, Advanced Slicing, All Slices Loop Mode, Slices to Pattern, Slices to Phrase, Slice Marker Management, DrumChain / Conversion, Beatsync, Specialized Tools, Oldschool Gap Fill) has a checkbox that shows/hides its contents. Section visibility is saved to preferences and persists across sessions, so you can hide the sections you rarely use and keep only what you need visible.

2026-03-05 - Fix: Slice Step Sequencer valuebox crash with Two Octaves / Octave Up/Down

Fixed a crash in the Slice Effect Step Sequencer when using Two Octaves or Octave Up/Down presets on instruments with fewer slices than the transpose pattern requires. The transpose offsets (+-12, +-24) could push slice note values outside the valuebox's valid range, causing std::logic_error: invalid value for valuebox. Values are now clamped to the instrument's actual slice range. Also added defensive clamping in PakettiSliceStepRefreshSliceUI to prevent similar issues during UI refresh.

2026-03-05 - Feature: Microtonal Tunings System

Comprehensive microtonal tuning system for Renoise instruments using the native trigger_options.tuning API. Apply any of 23 built-in tuning presets to instruments with a single click — no multi-sample workarounds needed.

Tuning Presets:

Dialog shows scale degrees with ratios and cent values. Apply to selected instrument or all instruments at once. Load Scala (.scl) files. Export any preset as Scala file for sharing.

Wavetable Generators:

PCMWriter Golden Waveforms (5 new waveform types in Single Cycle Waveform Writer):

Menu Entries (Main Menu → Tools → Paketti → Microtonal Tunings):

Same entries available in Instrument Box context menu.

Keybindings (Global → Paketti):

MIDI Mappings: Paketti:Microtonal Tunings:Apply Golden Pythagorean, Apply 36-EDO, Apply Solfeggio, Apply Colundi, Reset to 12-TET

2026-03-05 - Fix: Slice Step Sequencer valuebox crash with Two Octaves / Octave Up/Down

Fixed a crash in the Slice Effect Step Sequencer when using Two Octaves or Octave Up/Down presets on instruments with fewer slices than the transpose pattern requires. The transpose offsets (±12, ±24) could push slice note values outside the valuebox's valid range, causing std::logic_error: invalid value for valuebox. Values are now clamped to the instrument's actual slice range. Also added defensive clamping in PakettiSliceStepRefreshSliceUI to prevent similar issues during UI refresh.

2026-03-03 - Improvement: Columnizer now works on selections via selection_in_pattern_pro

The Columnizer +1/+10/-1/-10 shortcuts for Delay, Panning, Volume, Effect Number, and Effect Amount now support pattern editor selections using selection_in_pattern_pro(). When a selection is active, the change is applied to every selected note column (for delay/panning/volume) or every selected effect column (for effect number/amount) across all selected lines and tracks. The selection-aware logic properly identifies which columns are note columns vs effect columns, even when a selection spans multiple tracks with different column configurations. When no selection is active, behavior is unchanged (cursor row only). Includes proper undo support (describe_undo) and a status bar message showing how many cells were modified (e.g. "Columnizer: Delay +10 applied to 32 cells"). Works with all existing keybindings (Pattern Editor:Paketti:Columnizer Increase/Decrease Delay/Panning/Volume/Effect Number/Effect Amount) and MIDI mappings.

2026-03-03 - Feature: Split Note into N Equal Pieces

Split any note into perfectly even subdivisions with calculated delay values — triplets, quintuplets, septuplets, or any number up to 128. Select a range of lines containing a note, choose how many pieces, and each piece is placed at the mathematically correct position using the delay column for sub-line precision.

Dialog with a real-time slider — drag it and watch the pattern update live. Also includes a valuebox for precise input and quick-split buttons for 2 through 8.

No-selection mode — if nothing is selected, Paketti auto-detects the note length by scanning forward for the next note or NOTE_OFF.

Preserves original note properties (note value, instrument, volume, panning). Writes a NOTE_OFF at the end of the range. Full undo support.

Keybindings (Pattern Editor → Paketti):

MIDI mappings available for all nine functions.

2026-03-02 - Feature: Slice Tools Dialog

New consolidated "Slice Tools" dialog accessible from Main Menu > Tools > Paketti > Slice Tools > Slice Tools Dialog... and Sample Editor > Paketti > Slice Tools. Brings together all slice-related operations into a single discoverable hub with 11 grouped sections: Equal Slicing, Zero-Crossing Slicing, Advanced Slicing launchers, All Slices Loop Mode, Slices to Pattern, Slices to Phrase, Slice Marker Management, DrumChain/Conversion, Beatsync, Specialized Tools, and Oldschool Gap Fill. Existing individual menus and keybindings remain unchanged — this adds a central access point. Available via keybinding (Global:Paketti:Slice Tools Dialog) and MIDI mapping.

2026-03-02 - Fix: 0G01 Loader checkbox crash in Paketti Toggler

Fixed a crash when toggling the "0G01 Loader" checkbox in the Paketti Toggler dialog. The checkbox notifier was calling a non-existent function update_0G01_loader_menu_entries(). Replaced with the correct manage_sample_count_observer() call so the observer is properly attached/detached when toggling.

2026-03-02 - Improvement: Consolidated duplicate Replicate Into Selection

"Replicate Into Selection" and "Replicate Above Into Selection Only" were two separate implementations doing the exact same thing — taking whatever is above your selection and tiling it downward into the selected rows. Removed the duplicate code (~240 lines) and unified both shortcuts to use the same single implementation. Both keybinding names still work, no workflow changes needed.

2026-03-02 - Fix: Autocomplete crash when selecting certain commands

Fixed a crash in the Autocomplete dialog that could happen when clicking on certain command suggestions (e.g. AKAI-related entries). Instead of crashing, those entries now safely show "Failed to execute" so the dialog stays usable.

2026-03-01 - Feature: MIDI Mappings Save/Load/Merge/Replace/Clear (.xrnm)

Full MIDI mapping file management — save your controller setup, load it into another song, merge mappings from multiple files, or do a clean replace. Ideal for switching between different MIDI controllers or sharing setups between projects.

Save MIDI Mappings — exports all current song MIDI mappings to an .xrnm file via file picker.

Load MIDI Mappings from File (Merge) — loads an .xrnm file and merges it with your existing mappings. Existing bindings stay, new ones are added.

Load MIDI Mappings from File (Replace All) — clears all existing mappings first, then loads from the selected .xrnm file. Clean slate.

Load Default MIDI Mappings — loads the .xrnm file configured in Paketti Preferences (merge behavior).

Clear & Reload Default MIDI Mappings — clears all mappings, then loads the configured default (replace behavior).

Load Paketti MIDI Mappings — loads the bundled MIDI mapping presets shipped with Paketti (from the KeyBindings/ folder). If multiple .xrnm files are bundled, presents a picker dialog.

Clear All MIDI Mappings — removes every MIDI mapping from the song.

Menu entries (Main Menu → Tools → Paketti → MIDI Mappings):

Keybindings (Global → Paketti):

MIDI mappings available for all seven functions.

2026-02-28 - Feature: Batch Phrase Preset Save/Load (.xrnz)

Save All Phrases as Presets — exports every phrase in the selected instrument as individual .xrnz preset files to a chosen folder. Files are named 01_PhraseName.xrnz, 02_PhraseName.xrnz, etc. for easy browsing and auditioning.

Load All Phrase Presets from Folder — imports all .xrnz files from a chosen folder into the selected instrument as phrases. Files are loaded in alphabetical order. Respects Renoise's 126-phrase limit and warns if the folder contains more presets than available slots.

Designed for workflows involving large phrase collections — batch-import 200+ MIDI files as phrases, save them all as presets in one click, then load them back into any instrument later.

Menu entries (Main Menu → Tools → Paketti → Instruments):

Keybindings (Global → Paketti):

MIDI mappings available for both functions.

2026-02-26 - Feature: Pattern Merge — concatenate patterns into new combined patterns

Four ways to merge patterns end-to-end into a new combined pattern, with automation time-shifted correctly:

Merge with Next — combines the current pattern with the one immediately after it in the sequence, inserts the merged result after both source slots.

Merge with Previous — combines the pattern before the current one with the current pattern, inserts the merged result after the current slot.

Merge Selected — merges all patterns within the current Pattern Sequencer selection range into a single new pattern, inserted after the selection end.

Merge All → Monster — concatenates every pattern in the entire sequence into one large pattern (capped at Renoise's 512-line maximum), appended at the end.

Source patterns are never modified. Automation envelope points from later patterns have their time values offset by the accumulated line count so they land in the correct position. Merged patterns are named automatically (PatternA+PatternB+...).

Menu entries (Pattern Sequencer and Pattern Matrix, ×4 each):

Keybindings (Pattern Sequencer and Global, ×4 each):

2026-02-26 - Feature: Plugin Slots — 5 configurable instrument-plugin show/hide slots

Like the existing XO plug-in shortcut, but fully user-configurable: assign any VST, VST3, AU, LADSPA, or DSSI instrument plugin to one of 5 named slots, then use a keybinding (or menu entry) to load it / show its external editor / hide it — exactly the same add→show→hide cycle as the hardcoded XO shortcut.

Configuration dialog

The dialog shows all available instrument plugins grouped by type (AU → VST3 → VST → LADSPA → DSSI), sorted alphabetically within each group. Selecting a plugin stores both its load path and its display name in preferences.xml for instant recall across sessions.

Per-slot toggle (×5, replace N with 1–5)

Toggle behaviour per slot:

  1. Plugin already loaded in any instrument → toggle external_editor_visible (show ↔ hide)
  2. Plugin not yet loaded → loadPlugin() inserts a new instrument and shows the editor
  3. Slot not configured → status bar message prompts user to open the configure dialog

[Full changelog below ↓]

Paketti Updates Changelog

📅 Sort by date: Currently: Newest First

2026-02-26 - Improvement: Plugin Slots Configuration added to Dialog of Dialogs

The Plugin Slots Configuration dialog is now registered in Paketti's Dialog of Dialogs (the central hub for launching all Paketti dialogs). Search for "plugin slots" or "slot" to open it alongside all other Paketti dialogs.

2026-02-26 - Feature: Pattern Merge / Concatenation (4 modalities)

Four new functions that concatenate patterns end-to-end into a single new pattern of combined length (capped at Renoise's 512-line maximum). All source patterns are left intact; the merged result is inserted as a new sequence slot and navigated to automatically. Automation envelope points from the second pattern onward are time-shifted so they land in the correct position inside the merged pattern.

Menu entries added under:

Keybindings added under Pattern Sequencer:Paketti: and Global:Paketti: for all four operations.

2026-02-25 - Feature: Sample Recorder with #Line Input and Track Scopes (live waveform view while recording)

New SampleRecorderWithTrackScopes() function in PakettiRecorder.lua. First press: adds #Line Input device to the selected track (if not already present), switches the upper frame to Track Scopes so you can see the live input waveform, and opens the Sample Recorder dialog. Second press: closes the recorder and removes the #Line Input device. Gives a visual waveform monitor during recording without needing a third-party VST oscilloscope.

2026-02-25 - Random BPM Min/Max preferences

All random BPM functions now use a configurable Min/Max range instead of a hardcoded list of {80, 100, 115, 123, 128, 132, 135, 138, 160}. Two new preferences (RandomBPMMin default 60, RandomBPMMax default 180) with valueboxes in the Paketti Preferences dialog (range 32-999, with cross-validation so min can't exceed max). Affects randombpm(), randomBPMMaster(), randomBPMFromList(), randomBPM(), and the bell curve BPM generator used by "New Song BPM Randomizer". Values persist across sessions.

2026-02-24 - Fix: Shortcut hints now actually appear in menu entries

Paketti's shortcut hint system — which appends keyboard shortcuts like [Opt+K] to menu entry names — was silently broken because renoise.tool() returns a new wrapper object on every call, so monkey-patching methods on it had no effect. Replaced the broken approach with a renoise.tool proxy that intercepts add_menu_entry, add_keybinding, and add_midi_mapping at the source. The proxy also handles conditional keybinding/midi registration via master toggles. Shortcut hints now display correctly in all Paketti menu entries. A new module PakettiShortcutHints.lua parses KeyBindings.xml and the tool's autocomplete_cache.txt to match menu entries to their keybindings by both function identity and display name.

2026-02-24 - Feature: MIDI drum pattern to Renoise phrase import

Paketti now includes a pure Lua MIDI file parser that converts Ableton/GM MIDI drum clips into Renoise instrument phrases. Drop a .mid file onto an instrument via the file import hook, or use the batch import dialog to convert an entire folder of MIDI clips into phrases at once. Features include configurable LPB (4/6/8/12/16/24), optional delay column for sub-line timing precision, automatic polyphony detection (up to 12 note columns), volume/velocity preservation, and automatic instrument overflow when the 126 phrase limit is reached. Supports MIDI Format 0 and Format 1 files.

Single file import: menu entry Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:Instruments:MIDI Drum Pattern to Phrase (Import)..., keyboard shortcut Global:Paketti:MIDI Drum Pattern to Phrase (Import)..., MIDI mapping Paketti:MIDI Drum Pattern to Phrase (Import)... x[Button], plus drag-and-drop via the .mid file import hook.

Batch folder import: menu entry Main Menu:Tools:Paketti:Instruments:MIDI Folder Batch Import to Phrases..., keyboard shortcut Global:Paketti:MIDI Folder Batch Import to Phrases..., MIDI mapping Paketti:MIDI Folder Batch Import to Phrases... x[Button].

2026-02-23 - Fix: MetaSynth instrument generator no longer crashes on Renoise v3.4

Running the MetaSynth instrument generator on Renoise v3.4 would crash with '[BinStream]' was saved with an incompatible, more recent version of Renoise. The generated LFO and Send devices were being built in a format only Renoise v3.5.4 understands. Paketti now detects which version of Renoise you're running and generates devices in the matching format, so MetaSynth works on both v3.4 and v3.5.4.

2026-02-23 - Improvement: Added MIDI mappings for note position randomization

Added MIDI mappings for "Roll the Dice on Notes" (Paketti:Roll the Dice on Notes) and "Randomize Positions of Note-Offs" (Paketti:Randomize Positions of Note-Offs). Note position randomization now has 1 menu entry (Pattern Editor → Paketti → Note Columns → Roll the Dice on Notes in Selection), 2 keyboard shortcuts (Global:Paketti:Roll the Dice on Notes, Pattern Editor:Paketti:Randomize Positions of Note-Offs), and 2 MIDI mappings.

2026-02-23 - Fix: Slicerough no longer crashes with "invalid slice sample_position index '0'" on short samples

slicerough — the fast rough-slicer that divides a sample into N equal parts — would crash Renoise with a C++ std::logic_error ("invalid slice sample_position index '0'") when the target sample was very short relative to the requested slice count. The bug had two causes working together: an unconditional insert_slice_marker(1) call before the loop, followed by the loop itself computing a frame position of 0 (via math.floor(tw * i) rounding down) and attempting to insert a second marker at or before position 1. Renoise rejects any slice marker at a frame index that has already been used, which surfaces as the misleading index-0 error.

Fixed by removing the standalone pre-loop insert_slice_marker(1) call (the sample start is implicit; Renoise does not need an explicit marker there) and adding a last_inserted guard inside the loop so that any computed position equal to or less than the previous one is silently skipped. All positions are also clamped to a minimum of 1. This makes slicerough safe for very short samples and for large slice counts.

2026-02-21 - Improvement: "Write Current BPM&LPB to Master Column" keybinding now discoverable by exact name

When a user searched Preferences → Keys for Write Current BPM&LPB to Master Column — the exact wording shown in the menu entry — nothing came up. The existing keybindings used a shorter internal name (Write BPM/LPB to Master) that didn't match what users had read in the menu.

Three new keybindings now exist under Global, Pattern Editor, and Mixer scopes — all named Write Current BPM&LPB to Master Column — matching the menu entry word-for-word. The original Write BPM/LPB to Master keybindings remain untouched alongside them.

2026-02-19 - Fix: Phrase Follow notifier no longer crashes when no phrase is selected

The phrase_follow_notifier (which syncs the Phrase Editor display during playback) would crash with a nil-access error whenever the selected instrument had no phrases — or when playback started before any phrase had been selected. The notifier fires on every idle tick during playback, so this caused the notifier to permanently disable itself mid-session. Fixed by adding a nil-guard: if song.selected_phrase is nil the notifier now exits cleanly instead of erroring out.

2024-06-16 - Improvement: Effect Column CheatSheet Dialog now either outputs to selected_row if no selection, or to the selection.

2024-06-16 - Paketti Effect CheatSheet Dialog

https://www.loom.com/share/29043519c0a548a1a30fd696560f580f?sid=b2bd3dc7-8647-4294-b3d3-01545f44be5b

2024-06-16 - Improvement: Impulse Tracker shortcuts have been renamed to reference Impulse Tracker for easier discoverability.

No more guessing. Note: "Mixpaste" is still not working, i started work on it but somehow couldn't get it going, will hopefully look at that later

2024-06-16 - Improvement: Effect Column writers (shortcuts) now either outputs to selected_row if no selection, or to the selection

their naming has been tweaked also for better discoverability

2024-06-16 - Improvement: Been working a bunch on making Menu Entries better and more organized, here's Keyzones

2024-06-16 - Improvement: "Wipe Song Retain Sample" now no longer errors if the Instrument you selected has no sample.

2024-06-16 - WIP Improvement: Instrument Box Menu Entries are better organized

2024-06-16 - Improvement: Wipe & Slice no longer shoots an error if there is no sample in the instrument. - instead shows a status "No samples available in the selected instrument".

2024-06-16 - Improvement: Wipe & Slice will tell you how many slices have been added to the instrument, and reference the sample name.

2024-06-16 - Improvement: Wipe & Slice will tell you when you've wiped all slices

2024-06-16 - Improvement: LoopBlock "2nd binds" made available with matching naming convention to what Renoise provides

2024-06-16 - Improvement: Enable / Bypass EFX in Pattern now uses the right commands to bypass the first 8 effects, or enable the first 8 effects.

(Meaning: now compatible with Renoise 3)

2024-06-16 - esaruoho

Backend Improvement: there's now a global function for giving a XML Preset and loading it directly to a plugin. which'll be useful in the future for loading XML content into active_preset_data for a plugin or a device.

2024-06-16 - Improvement: Whenever saving a script, or saving a song, or loading a new song, or creating a new song, or loading a sample, the view_preset1 would be forcibly shown.

I've removed that since it benefits no-one - the viewport should stay the same no matter what

2024-06-17 - Improvement to ImpulseTracker ALT-L *2 functionality.

Now, if you are on Send or Master, and press ALT-L, it will select the content of the Send or Master track. when you press ALT-L again, it will select all of the pattern data (including sends + masters). instead of "only the tracks and not sends + masters".

2024-06-17 - Fixed: when using Pattern Doubler to double a 256 row pattern to 512 - and the pattern has automation, there used to be an error shot.

now no error is shot no more and the automation works as expected.

2024-06-17 - Improvement: Sample Navigator now has the "Mono to Stereo" & "Mono to Left, Right Blank" & "Mono to Right, Left Blank" entries

And they're sorted correctly

2024-06-17 - improvement: tweaked the naming convention of "Bypass EFX (Write to Pattern)" and "Enable EFX (Write to Pattern)"

2024-06-17 - Improvement: Paketti PitchBend DrumKit Loader now correctly sets LoopMode + Sample Interpolation for each of the samples loaded into the drumkit.

2024-06-17 - Improvement: Bypass EFXs are now grouped together

2024-06-17 - Improvement: had to switch from vb:switch for loop release to vb:checkbox - - but now the preferences actually work properly. for loading samples and for slicing.

this Loop Release mode, coupled with Backward - means that whenever you let go of the playing slice, it will start playing backwards until the beginning of the sample is reached.

2024-06-17 - Feature: "Jump to First Track in Next Group" & "Jump to First Track in Previous Group" - as requested by icasiino -

pretty much does what it says on the tin - if there are no groups, then it doesn't do anything.

2024-06-17 - Improvement: 24st_pitchbend, 36st_pitchbend, 48st_pitchbend, 64st_pitchbend, 96st_pitchbend loaders updated with macros set up

these init instruments were lagging behind from 12st_pitchbend which had all the goodies

2024-06-17 - Improvement: Pattern Editor Cheat Sheet: added "0Yxx" (Maybe), "0Zxx" (Trigger Phrase) - tweaked order of effects so they match "Effect Command Cheatsheet on Renoise Forum" ..

more tweaks incoming later (additional efx, grouping)

Effect Commands Cheatsheet (Renoise Forum post, printable PDF by someone else)

2024-06-18 - Feature: Globally Enable / Disable Volume Column, Panning Column, Delay Column, Sample FX Column. Available in Global:Tools:Paketti..:Pattern Editor, and Pattern Editor:Paketti..: menu entries, and also as shortcuts.

these change the Column Visibility of all regular Tracks to On/Off (Toggle) or Set to Visible. (found this on a Renoise Forum post by ViZiON from 2008)

2024-06-18 - Improvement: Globally / Enable Visible Columns are now also visible on View -> Paketti.. -> Pattern Editor -> submenu

2024-06-18 - Improvements: Bypass all Effects on Channel now shows status Disabled all Track DSP Devices on Selected Channel

Enable all Effects on Channel now shows status Enabled all Track DSP Devices on Selected Channel

Tweaked most Track DSP Device hiding shortcuts + menu entries to make mention of "External Editor" and added "All open External Editors for Track DSP & Sample FX Chain Devices have been closed." and "No Track DSP or Sample FX Chain Device External Editors were open, did nothing." for informing the user what is going on.

this show_status thing will need to be done for hundreds of functions so whenever you see one that doesn't tell you what it does, hit me up and i'll tweak it in. there's too many for it to be doable in one go.

2024-06-19 - Feature: Bypass All Other Track DSP Devices (Toggle) as a keyshortcut, menu entry for Mixer + Track DSP (Lower Frame) -- as requested by untilde

2024-06-19 - Improvement: "Jump to First Track in Next Group" & "Jump to First Track in Previous Group" shortcuts added to Pattern Matrix -- as requested by icasiino

2024-06-19 - Improvement: 12st, 24st, 36st, 48st, 64st, 96st + drumkit loaders / init instruments now correctly map Cutoff knob to Cutoff, instead of.. Volume.. 🫢 🤦‍♂️

2024-06-19 - Improvement: added "Mono to Stereo, Mono to Left, Mono to Right" to Sample Mappings (=Keyzones) menu

2024-06-20 - Improvement: "Mono to Stereo" "Mono to Left with Right Blank", "Mono to Right with Left Blank" now retain basenote and other key mapping settings, and are put into the same sample slot as previously (meaning instruments with multiple samples will retain their organization correctly).

2024-06-21 - Improvement: if 0G01 Loader is ON and you Wipe&Slice - new tracks are no longer created for slicecount (if you sliced a sample to 128 slices, you'd get 128 tracks) now you no longer need to protect yourself by disabling 0G01 Loader in order to wipe&slice and then re-enable 0G01 Loader -- the wipe&slicer just does the ad-hoc disable at the start of wiping&slicing, and then just re-enables it, if it was enabled.

(this closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/183 )

2024-06-21 - Feature: AppSelection GUI now includes method for setting three Smart Folders (for macOS use), instead of hardwiring them to /Users/esaruoho/Music/samples/LogicSmartFolder + /Users/esaruoho/Music/samples/LiveSmartFolder..

I've also removed sox usage for adjusting 32bit samples to 24bit samples, which is no longer needed since Logic Pro can handle 32bit wavefiles nowadays.

NOTE: if there are apps out there that can't handle 32bit wavefiles, please tell me which ones they are, so i can try them out and add "adjust to 16bit" "adjust to 24bit" next to the Smart Folder path buttons.

(this closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/161 )

2024-06-21 - Improvement: If you try to save sample or samples to a Smart Folder that is not set - an error is shown on the status and the Smart Folder GUI opens up

2024-06-21 - esaruoho

Feature: Create Identical Track. if your track has X amount of Note Columns, Effect Columns, Panning, Delay, Volume, Sample FX Columns visible or the track is collapsed -- (or if none of these are visible or on), the "Create Identical Track" shortcut will create a Track that matches the track you were on. closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/208 (as requested by ViZiON on the Renoise Forums in January2009)

2024-06-21 - esaruoho

Feature: Randomize Selected Device Parameters:

https://www.loom.com/share/52748313bf284544976bf7f90b62e6c6?sid=b3198df4-229b-47e0-a5ce-465ca11f90e6

2024-06-21 - esaruoho

Feature: Randomize Selected Instrument (All) Plugin Parameters .. but since it randomizes each parameter, you might have a bad time if the synth sets itself to not play anything (outputs that you're not listening to, etc..)

2024-06-21 - esaruoho

Improvement: Randomize Selected Device Parameters now shows the name of the device that was randomized.

2024-06-21 - esaruoho

Feature: LADSPA/DSSI Device loader (shortcut + midimapper) GUI created. if you have Linux, please DM me and i'll send you a xrnx and please take some video + screenshots, i can't test how it works myself. EDIT: there's apparently some noisy devices there that have a really long name (looking at you: 

721  Audio/Effects/LADSPA/lsp-plugins-ladspa.so:http://lsp-plug.in/plugins/ladspa/sc_mb_dyna_processor_stereo

fun. but shoot me some screenshots + video so i can pick up the pieces. seems to work anyway.

2024-06-21 - esaruoho

Improvement: Gainer Exponential Curve Up, Gainer Exponential Curve Down now goes from 0.0dB to INF or from INF to 0.0dB - instead of to "12.5dB" - thus boosting the input signal by +12dB. fixes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/171

usecase: make a way to fade in a sound by adding a gainer device to the track and fading sound in or sound out.

2024-06-22 - esaruoho

Improvement: Moved "Jump to First Track in Next Group" & "Jump to First Track in Previous Group" to Main Menu:Tools:Paketti..:Pattern Editor:

2024-06-22 - esaruoho

Feature: Move Slice End Left/Right by +10/-10, +100/-100, Move Slice Start LeftRight by +10/-10 +100/-100: this means that you can be in the slice itself, and adjust the slice visually with nudges.

2024-06-22 - esaruoho

Improvement: Wipe Slices (in Wipe&Slice suite of features) now will properly wipe all slices from the sample even if a slice was selected when you wipe slices. (it used to do nothing)

2024-06-22 - esaruoho

Improvement: If there are no apps configured in App Selection, the dialog does not forcibly open on every new song, Renoise start, etc. Just a show_status message instead:

No apps have been configured in Paketti..:Launch App..:Configure Launch App Selection, cannot populate Menu.

2024-06-22 - esaruoho

Improvement: if no LADSPA or DSSI devices found on computer, display a sensible message (No LADSPA/DSSI Devices found on this computer. ) instead of ruining the GUI by making the buttons not show properly

2024-06-22 - esaruoho

Improvement: if no AU, VST or VST3 plugins found on computer, display a sensible message ( No AudioUnit Plugins found on this computer. or No VST Plugins found on this computer. or No VST3 Plugins found on this computer.) instead of ruining the GUI by making the buttons not show properly

2024-06-23 - esaruoho

Feature: Solo Selected Track in Group using Note Column Mute: closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/106

2024-06-23 - esaruoho

Improvement: +300/-300 +500/-500 for both Slice Start & Slice End:

2024-06-23 - esaruoho

Improvement: Midi Mapping Sample FX Column knob now shows the Sample FX Column, for better visibility.

2024-06-23 - esaruoho

Improvement: Midi Change 01 Volume Column Value / 02 Panning Column Value / 03 Delay Column Value / 04 Sample FX Value: if you have nothing selected, it'll output to current_line row. if columns are not visible, they are made visible. if you have a selection, then the whole selection will be changed by midi knobs.

2024-06-23 - esaruoho

Feature: Selected Device Parameter Randomizer Dialog. Offers a slider for controlling percentage of randomization auto-updates to new device if you select a new device.

https://www.loom.com/share/6358542ad6db449daf581421653548fa?sid=aee4ccb0-2738-4214-933d-0bd5c50eb163

2024-06-23 - esaruoho

Improvement: BPM +0.1 / BPM -0.1 (in addition to +1/+5/-5/-1 already being there since 14 years ago in Paketti.) this is ripped straight from the ModPlugTracker playbook:

2024-06-23 - esaruoho

Improvement: Randomize Selected Device Parameters Dialog now updates if no Device is selected. also, after clicking on the Randomize button, the keyboard focus is returned to Renoise / the Tracker, so you can continue shortcutting+keyjazzing.

2024-06-24 - esaruoho

Feature: "Duplicate Effect Column Content to Pattern"

2024-06-24 - esaruoho

Improvement: "Duplicate Effect Column Content to Pattern or Selection" -> if something is selected, your current row effect parameter is input to selection.. if nothing selected, then the whole pattern gets the effect parameter input

2024-06-24 - esaruoho

Feature: "Randomize Effect Column Parameters for Pattern or Selection"

2024-06-24 - esaruoho

Feature: Effect Column Interpolation for Selection or Pattern.

2024-06-24 - esaruoho

Feature: Flood Fill Selection or Track with Instrument + Note:

2024-06-24 - esaruoho

Improvement: now all Plugin parameters can be randomized, or all plugins in the whole song can be randomized. same GUI as Selected Track Device & All Devices on Selected Track.

2024-06-25 - esaruoho

Improvement: If currently selected instrument has no plugin, Randomize Devices & Plugins dialog will still open. If there are no plugins in the song, then Randomize All Plugins will show_status stating there are no plugins, instead of saying "yes, randomized all plugins in song". and in the same situation, "Show/Hide all Plugin External Editors" will also show a status. and visual update: the fourth column now has empty space before the "Randomization intensity (%)" line to better line up.

2024-06-26 - esaruoho

Feature: Impulse Tracker ALT-Left / ALT-Right (two flavors, one that Wraps (last track to first track.. or first track to last track), and another that doesn't wrap (press alt-left enough, and you'll be in first track but that's it.. same for alt-right)))

2024-06-28 - esaruoho

Feature: Impulse Tracker "Slide Content Up / Down". this takes Selected Track.. or Selected Note Column or Selected Effect Column. will slide it up and down.

2024-06-28 - esaruoho

Feature: Solo Tracks - if no pattern selection - then mute currently selected track. if current track is selected or has selection, mute that. draw selection around multiple tracks and run shortcut = all other tracks are muted. or unmuted.

2024-06-28 - esaruoho

Improvement: Note Interpolation now works on any note column on the track. same with selection. and.. if you have multiple note columns selected, and there's notes there at the start + end of pattern rows, the interpolation will happen. and if you have a selection within a track, the note interpolation will happen for the whole selection.

2024-06-28 - esaruoho

Feature: ALT-Y "Swap Block" straight from ImpulseTracker2/SchismTracker/ScreamTracker3(?)

2024-06-28 - esaruoho

Improvement: Alt-Y will now work with tracks that don't have "enough" note columns, they will be resized. and now this can be used for multiple note columns, and to the track you're at.

2024-06-29 - esaruoho

Improvement: Transpose +12 / -12 / +1 / -1 so that if nothing is selected in the pattern, it will transpose the whole selected_track. if something is selected in the pattern, then it'll transpose the selection. Feature: Transpose +12/-12/+1/-1 for selection, or just current note column.

2024-06-30 - esaruoho

Improvement: F5 "Impulse Tracker Play" used to have a 0.4 second delay after Panic + playback starting. it was to avert plugins from crashing (F5 is a macro that stops playback, runs Renoise Panic (to kill all audio) and then starts playback with follow pattern = on)) - now i cut it down to 0.225second, so it "feels less sluggish".

2024-07-05 - esaruoho

Improvement: the Smart Folders segment of this dialog has been, more understandably, modified to include "Backup Folders" and for the buttons to refer to "Folders" instead of "Smart Folders" - because the usecase is of course that you can set the folder of your choice to be a folder that's a smart folder (macOS) or any folder (such as a backup folder). think "folder 1 = drums, folder 2 = melodies, folder 3 = pads" or something like that

2024-07-05 - esaruoho

2024-07-08 - esaruoho

Improvement: There's now a connection between 0G01 loader and Paketti PitchBend Multiple Sample Loader - if 0G01 loader is set to On, then new tracks will be created per each loaded sample, and each track will cleanly have a instr automation device added, so there's no longer a flood of instr automation devices for the track you were on, i.e. you load 36 samples and there's 36 instr automation devices on selected_track.

Ok, so what this does is pretty much identical to Paketti Clean Render - except.. right after it diskwrites, it writes current BPM + LPB to Master of current pattern then it clones the pattern, increases LPB by *2 (so 4 -> 8), and writes BPM + LPB to Master of the new cloned pattern, which non-destructively replaces the original_pattern, and then puts in the sample onto the new track. closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/65

2024-08-09 - esaruoho

Feature: NumPad SelectPlay 0-8 now works with MidiMappings (single trigger, not double trigger). what this does is, you can play instrument slots 00 to 08 with pads. why is it called NumPad? Because there's also a version for NumPads. NOTE: this will NOT play the sample. it WILL however record to the pattern. if you have a quick pattern running, you can tap in beats and keep tapping in more beats. it will input a note to "current row". the note will always be C-4. while it is of course possible to fingerdrum a singular instrument's drums, this is for fingerdrumming instruments 00 to 08.

2024-08-09 - esaruoho

Improvement: NumPad SelectPlay 0-8 will now warn the user to select a note column, if on effect column.

2024-08-09 - esaruoho

Improvement: Paketti Gater now has LPB*2 and LPB/2 buttons for Clone Current Pattern and set LPB*2 and Clone Current Pattern and set LPB/2 what these do, is, print current LPB + BPM to current pattern.. then if you run LPB*2 , it makes an identical copy of the same pattern, selects the new pattern, prints LPB*2 and BPM to the pattern. LPB/2 does the LPB halving so LPB4 becomes 2.

Also, Print now writes to the amount of rows in the pattern, instead of only writing to 64 rows of the pattern.

2024-08-09 - esaruoho

Improvement: Paketti Gater now will output L00 & LC0 - in case you want to flip the mixer volume instead of sample volume.

2024-08-09 - esaruoho

2024-08-09 - esaruoho

These are just stashed so they are safe.

2024-09-04 - esaruoho

Improvement: Paketti Gater now correctly writes a 0P7F for real Center, when wiping Panning with no entries. EDIT: it's actually a bug in Renoise. they say 0P80 is center, but when you right-click on Center, it says 0P7F and neither of them are Center. i've reported it.

Improvement: Unison Generator now introduces randomized Panning (Hard Left / Hard Pan), and Finetuning happens randomly between -8 and 8 finetune values.

2024-09-04 - esaruoho

Feature: Chordsplus - this one is heavily in progress. Basically, you select a note on the first note column, and run either "add 1" to "add 12" - what it does is, print a note on the second note column that is pitched upwards by the number. so "add 3"? C-4 now has D#4 on the second note column. add 4? C-4 now has E-4 on the second note column. you can continue until you get to the 12th note column, after which, you'll be kicked back to the first note column but next row.

then, the same for sub to sub 12 - you have a C-4 on note column and run sub12? you now have C-3 on the next note column and that column is selected. this means you can quickly put together a chord with intervals.

but that's not all.

there are ready-made chords that you bang out with a shortcut (check second screenshot). this means, you run the script while cursor is on a basenote -> result is a chord.

and the real deal is the midimapping. Global:Paketti:Chord Selector [0-127] <- this means you're on any row with a note on notecolumn1 -> twist a knob, and you've output an interval based on the note the cursor is under. meaning a large amount of possibilities of chords and variations.

note: this is very much a work in progress so if you're seeing intervals that are missing, send me a DM with the intervals (run them as "3-4-4-3" meaning 3rd transpose of basenote, 4th transpose of 2nd note, 4th transpose of 3rd note and 3rd transpose of 4th note.

I'm also introducing "Toggle Note Off to all Visible Note Columns on track" and a "Phrasing Randomizer" which takes the notes on your row and transposes them by 1, 2, 3 octaves up or down.

if you have any ideas, please get in touch.

2024-09-09 - esaruoho

Feature: Global Set EditStep to 00...64 this means you only configure one set of shortcuts, instead of "Pattern Editor EditStep" & "Phrase Editor EditStep". Found this need while going to Phrase Editor and cmd-1-9 doing nothing.

2024-09-09 - esaruoho

Improvement: "Duplicate Instrument and Select New Instrument" shortcuts will now detect you're in the Phrase Editor, and keep you in the Phrase Editor. meaning: you've got a phrase you're happy with, run the script, you're editing a new phrase for a new instrument, but still in the Phrase Editor.

2024-09-09 - esaruoho

2024-09-12 - esaruoho

Feature: Selected Device Automation Parameter 001-128 midimappings added. This means, you select a Device on TrackDSP, and twist a knob, and if it has a parameter in the knob you've set (001-128), that parameter will change, in the device, no automation. BUT if you have EditMode on, then the parameter value change is written to automation automatically to currentStep (not following playhead) BUT if you have EditMode + Playing on, then the automation is written to playStep -> following playhead.

this means you will automate, with your battery of knobs or sliders, the value of any parameter in a selected device. - or if not recording, then simply change the parameter of any device. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/543)

Improvement: Coluga / YT-DLP now has a textfield for storing the location of the yt-dlp executable. This, along with the heavy plumbing i did, converting the bash script (which was macOS only, really) to full LUA, should allow yt-dlp to successfully download YouTube videos in full and add them as samples into a new instrument, complete with the Default XRNI Instrument (and it's macros) automatically added, on macOS, Linux and Windows. It's been a long time in coming (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/570)

2024-09-20 - esaruoho

Sidequest: In case you're wondering about the drop-off on updates on this channel, it's because I've been reworking the Sononymph tool so that it has more and better features, and improve the Configuration file detection. here's a screenshot or two. Sononymph is a tool that allows for a deep integration between Sononym and Renoise, and I've added certain features to it that "made sense" to have. If I include this in Paketti, I'll have to do a complete rewrite of it, so that it fits into how Paketti has been coded. I'm in contact with danoise about these features and hoping to see some, shall we say, official progress, further down the line. If he has abandoned it, I'll rewrite it and include it in Paketti.

2024-09-20 - esaruoho

Another sidequest: I've received permission from Martblek to take his "Simple Beat Detector" tool, which uses a lowpass filter to detect low-end beats and create slices, and modify it. I've been working on it, and now it has both lowpass and highpass filters for detecting beats, and therefore it now detects hihats too, not only bassdrums. It's still a work in progress, though - I want it to be better than the Renoise transient detection, before I will ship it in Paketti. Here's a rudimentary video.

https://www.loom.com/share/8908487817cc4c888ce00657afed9d8b?sid=629daeb8-01d8-4e97-ae84-a6837371556d

2024-09-30 - esaruoho

Improvement: Track Routings dialog ui has been tweaked, so the dropdown menus will show a longer output channel name, and margins have been removed.

2024-09-30 - esaruoho

Feature: Output Routing (Serial, Continual) & (Serial, Non-Continual) - this maps the Outputs for all tracks including master + sends. it is serial. continual will go through the list continually, non-continual will map as many outputs as you have, and the rest of the tracks will have the same output channel, if output channels have been exhausted. there are "omit Master & include Master" flavors of each. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/542)

2024-09-30 - esaruoho

Improvement: the "Selected Track Send 01-64" has been changed from volume control to On/Off toggle. and the placement can be anywhere in the selected track. first send is first send. doesn't matter where it is. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/428)

2024-09-30 - esaruoho

Improvement: added the "Master is in Loop" too flavors for Output Routing: (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/597)

2024-10-01 - esaruoho

Feature: Play current line + step forwards & Play current line + step backwards shortcuts. These will toggle follow pattern off, and step forwards, or backwards. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/599)

2024-10-01 - esaruoho

Feature: Set Output Routings to Master, and Master to 1 & 2 (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/600)

2024-10-01 - esaruoho

Improvement: added "Play Current Line&Step Random" which steps to a random step in the current pattern. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/602)

2024-10-01 - esaruoho

Feature: Clean Render Seamless Track/Group.. this will take your <256 row pattern, duplicate it to max 512 rows, i.e. play it "twice", then render it, select the first half of the sample, and add a loop from the end of the first half to the end of the second half. meaning, seamless loops with reverb tails. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/280)

2024-10-01 - esaruoho

Feature: Rotate Sample by 1/2, 1/4, 1/18, 1/16 this will flip your beat by a fraction of the whole beat. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/362)

2024-10-02 - esaruoho

Feature: Play at Random Line in Current Pattern, 2, 4 or LPB. this will either, if follow pattern off, move the cursor to a random line in the pattern-space, or if set to 2, move to a matching.. or 4, move to a matching, or LPB, move to a matching LPB space. so if you have 64 row pattern and LPB is 8, then it'll only randomize all the "8th" rows if that makes sense. also available for midimapping. and if follow pattern is on, it will actually kick you to play the random line it picks. and no duplicate lines will be hit - so if you're already on row 48, pressing a randomizer will not accidentally kick you to row 48. enjoy (and remember to use autoseek! if you're working with loops)

2024-10-02 - esaruoho

Feature: Play at Row 001-512 (Shortcut + midimapping) (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/603)

2024-10-02 - esaruoho

Improvement: OctaMED Pick/Put Dialog now

2024-10-02 - esaruoho

Improvement: Renoise KeyBindings Dialog now, again, correctly opens in the right context - open it in Sample Editor? -> Shows Sample Editor selection. open it in Pattern Editor ? -> Shows Pattern Editor selection. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/407)

2024-10-02 - esaruoho

Feature: Paketti Macro 01 - this is designed for setting your own preferred middle frame views. so meaning, you have one shortcut that cycles through the ones you have selected. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/379)

2024-10-02 - esaruoho

Feature: "Wipe All Columns of Selected Track" - fully wipes the whole track all note columns all effect columns and all columns.

Improvement: "Play at Row 001-512" now also includes HEX next to it.

2024-10-02 - esaruoho

Improvement: "Play at Row 000-511" makes more sense 😉

2024-10-02 - esaruoho

Improvement: Play at Row will now default to "Play Current Line" and move to that Line, if playback is not on. if playback is on, then it just plays from that line. (Both this and the above two close https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/606)

2024-10-02 - esaruoho

Improvement: while eSpeak dialog is open, and no textfield is selected, pressing ctrl-R will refresh (reload) the textfile. ctrl-enter will "Generate Sample". alt-enter will "Generate Selection" (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/264)

https://www.loom.com/share/e7360634fec44795bd8ace4ebafccc01?sid=4b7073bb-4bfa-4654-8fde-a26700fa35a9 (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/410)

2024-10-02 - esaruoho

Improvement: EQ10 now also Dynamically MidiMapped (closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/608)

2024-10-03 - esaruoho

Feature: Start/Stop Sample Recording and Pakettify it. This means you have one shortcut, that immediately creates a new instrument slot, selects it, writes onto it .. and injects the Macros, Paketti Loader default autofade, autoseek, oneshot, interpolation, mutegroup, new note action, oversample, beatsync, interpolation into it. (but detail: you have to have "Create a new instrument on each take" off). this way anything you sample using the function, will always be Pakettified.

2024-10-05 - esaruoho

Feature: Inverter Device. This is a Gainer device with Invert set for both channels. (idea was touched upon on the Facebook Renoise "Workflows/Painpoints" chatgroup - seems valid, here it is) (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/613)

2024-10-05 - Improvement: If you add a VST/VST3/AU/LADSPA/DSSI device to Sample Chain, that specific device is selected - allowing for direct randomization or other modifications

2024-10-07 - Improvement: I made the Gainer device load into Sample FX Chain too

2024-10-07 - esaruoho

Update: If you're wondering about the lack of updates, I've been working on a quite massive dialog + Dynamic View script which started around thursday-friday as (image1).. then changed to (image2).., and kept ballooning up until we're now at: (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/379 & https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/605) it's still WIP so I'll describe it better, just an update so you know that it's coming and that's why it's been tumbleweed town on this channel. (i was also on a trip to play a gig on friday and only returned last night at 9pm). there's updates coming, that's for sure.

2024-10-07 - esaruoho

Feature: Paketti Dynamic View Dialog + 8 Shortcuts. There's 4 Cycle slots per Dialog (1-4 Dialog & 5-8 Dialog). This lets you fully configure a cycle-based shortcut (Dynamic View 01 to Dynamic View 08) with full control over Upper Frame, Middle Frame, Lower Frame and Visibility (Disk Browser, Instrument Box, Sample Recorder, Pattern Matrix, Pattern Advanced Edit). you can set up your own preferred shortcut for the controls. I believe this is the maximum control that the Renoise API allows for ViewModes, and they are dynamic, so you can set a maximum of 8 cycles, i.e. one shortcut will start from the first slot, then proceed to the next and next and next. there's also a system for saving and loading the presets. Enjoy.

2024-10-08 - esaruoho

Feature: Select 00...F0 in Instrument Box. if the Slot/Chunk does not exist, it creates it. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/585)

2024-10-08 - esaruoho

Feature: Wipe&Slice now has a Paketti Preference for "Off". this means that even if the original sample that you want to wipe&slice DOES have a beatsync set up, the slices will NOT have beatsync set up. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/611)

2024-10-08 - esaruoho

Feature: Create New Track&Load Random Device Chain/Preset this takes the DeviceChains/ folder already available in Paketti, creates a new track, and loads either a random .XRNT or a random .XRDP inside Paketti, onto the track. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/358)

2024-10-11 - esaruoho

Sidequest: In order to make it easier for me to "pick something to do" from the 120+ tickets on Paketti, I improved this script that picks a random ticket:

https://tobycm.github.io/random-issue-picker/?url=https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues&fetch

so running this resulted in me working on one long-standing ticket that i've been now tweaking for 1,5 days. Embedded Link

2024-10-11 - esaruoho

Update: I'm working on the same large new feature that i started yesterday morning and am hopefully gonna be able to finish it before Wednesday. Am making great progress with it. stay tuned. send a DM if interested in previews

2024-10-13 - esaruoho

Improvement: There's a theoretically-working-with API5 build Paketti (older version), which might work with Renoise v3.1.1. I don't have it available to me right now so can't check. it disables eSpeak, BeatDetector and removes all font styling.

2024-10-13 - esaruoho

Improvement: more alterations to API5 Older build, this should now evade certain errors encountered

2024-10-14 - esaruoho

Feature: Paketti Groovebox 8120. this is a 8 row groovebox, 16 steps per row. each step count can be modified between 1-16. it will, in realtime, output to the pattern editor. youcan load instruments into it using Browse - meaning, one instrument can have max 120 samples. so you can load 120 kicks, 120 snares, 120 hihats, 120 claps, 120 rimshots, 120 rides, 120 toms and 120 randompercs in, and use the Selection Slider or Random button to immediately change to one of them. there's also direct routing for automating pitchbend / cutoff / the Paketti Macro works. there's a Random Gate which will fill the 16 steps across all 8 rows in such a way that only one of the 8 instruments will be playde on that row. there's Global Groove controls. there's mute buttons for muting them. there's a Random Fill which will modify the Step counts and fill randomly. you can control bpm, play, follow pattern. when you move Select or Random slider, it shows the Sample Editor. when you click on Step-count of on Follow or Play, or a checkbox in the stepsequencer, it shows the pattern editor. when you click on Random Groove, or enable Global Groove, or Global Groove sliders, it shows you the Global groove. when you click on Show Automation, it shows you the automation. Here's a little video demo of it:

https://www.loom.com/share/a6866eb0d331409ab092a7c13c5b357e?sid=2d20a67e-0d3b-4c63-810b-903ad21f1c99

I'm still improving on this, but this is the thing i've been working on for 3-4 days. Will keep cracking away at it until it does everything I want and when using it in a jam session type deal, i don't get any additional ideas. I'm open to any suggestions, out of interest, but let's please not blow this out of proportion by demanding lots of more rows etc. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/448)

2024-10-14 - esaruoho

I've also set EditMode blend highlight so that it is not Selected Track by default. working on a few other things. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/org.lackluster.Paketti.xrnx/issues/467)

2024-10-17 - esaruoho

Update: I've finally reached a milestone, i've gone through 30% of the "Ideas and Suggestions" Renoise subforum (2002-2024 posts). i've picked 346 tickets from the 30% (there were 7361 in total). some of them are already done, but some are just "oh, look at this and eventually do it". if i were to add these to the GitHub we'd probably jump to 500 open tickets or so. but work is being done to filter through the ideas and suggestions, beginners questions, tips and tricks, tool development, renoise tools discussion threads. there's i believe in total over 16000 threads i need to filter through and make decisions. just wante dto let you know i'm at 30% of 7361 now. (only 5130 to go through left on Ideas and Suggestions)

EDIT: and i just got through all 2002 Ideas and Suggestions, now it's upwards from 2023

2024-10-24 - esaruoho

Improvement: I've been tweaking the Instrument Box and Tools Menu Entries and organizing them in a better way. also moved the WIP/Unfinished stuff to "Xperimental/Work in Progress" submenu, for better discoverability. also some copywrite tweaks ("..." = Dialog, ".." = Submenu). removed Clean Render menu entries from Instrument Box because they're Pattern Editor/Mixer specific, and just in general doing more discoverability/readability tweaks. aka "instrument box shouldn't talk about samples too much when they can be in sample editor/sample navigator"

2024-10-24 - esaruoho

Improvement: Removed "Add 64 slices to instrument" since 84 already exists. Added 84 to Instrument Box, Sample Editor, Sample Navigator.

Updates: I've merged the paketti manual work with the brickwall of text into one article instead of multiple pages. and wrote some more stuff to the brickwall and did the first rudiments of organizing it a bit better. i'll need to split it into little pieces and group them by themes and areas. It's a longform project, would probably take me a month to get it done fully and properly Added some more Loom videos to it

Improvement: I've added 8 midiknobs that fit the 0...127 values into 1...8 for cycling through the Dynamic Views. if there's only two cycles configured for a dynamic view - then 0-64 will change to cycle1, and 65-127 to cycle2. this means, you can configure a max of 8 different dynamic view states as per one Dynamic View number, and use one knob to switch between these views. so if you have a situation where you absolutely must quickly run from pattern editor to sample editor to sample editor with sample recorder showing to mixer to pattern editor with automation, to.. sample phrases.. to.. something - you can do it with the twist of a knob.

2024-12-09 - esaruoho

I've been making a lot of progress last night and during the flight on the Ideas and Suggestions folder - we're below 600 threads now. I've also been implementing some extra stuff from there, and maintaining a changeslog which is getting to be pretty huge. am also assisting a friend with a tool they have made.

2024-12-09 - esaruoho

Feature: Automatically Open Selected Track's Devices if they have External Editors. - close them when changing to the next track - and open that one's devices.

https://www.loom.com/share/5f55296e885e42b3825f7a4a840516d5?sid=472e4800-95a5-4394-aa73-da074420d6f5

2024-12-10 - esaruoho

Improvement: the Transpose Octave Up (Selection/Track) now fully works as expected - even if you have 12 note columns displaying, no longer erroring out in a weird edgecase where it tries to also modify a 13th note column which does not exist.

2024-12-11 - esaruoho

Improvement: F7 ImpulseTracker "Play Pattern from current row" would not work because I had commented away the experimental SBx code. I've reinstated the code so F7 + F5 & F6 properly work

2024-12-11 - esaruoho

2024-12-13 - esaruoho

update: out of 7361 threads from 2002 to may 2024 - i picked 1736. i also started processing through which tool discussions / tool ideas / tool releases are worth looking into and either hijacking if they're abandoned, or rewriting with Paketti in mind.

also now that 7361->1736, i'll be working on sorting them into threefour distinct categories, aka 42. already done and in Paketti 43. not yet in Paketti, do 44. not yet in Paketti, could be done but very complex (further down the todo stream) 45. wait for API changes to allow the feature

2024-12-15 - esaruoho

Improvement: Made ALT-F Expand Selection & Flood Fil and ALT-G Shrink Selection & Flood Fill. these will basically let you expand or shrink the selection and then fill the rest of the pattern with the content.

2024-12-17 - esaruoho

Improvement: when running "Replicate above Cursor" - if you're on the first row, it'll start replication from first row 🙂 (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/730)

2024-12-17 - esaruoho

Update: I've started to rewrite the Paketti Documentation in Obsidian, hopefully this'll result in me being able to better organize information cohesively.

so far, so good. just need to work it into getting it directly into readme.md on the pakettimanual repository, so that it will 100% work. with the gifs and the screenshot assets.

2024-12-17 - esaruoho

Update: I've also done a 2 hour Twitch stream of the new feature Paketti Stacker, which I'm slowly finetuning and working out the kinks to make it work even faster and in a more userfriendly way. I have a long todo-list of things to do for this, it's a pretty big feature.

2024-12-18 - esaruoho

Update: Slowly adding more Automation stuff while preparing for wikilinks to markdown conversion.

2024-12-18 - esaruoho

Improvement: While writing the documentation, I realized that the Pattern Matrix Automation menu entries were confusing, so organized & titled them slightly better. Also, the "Original" Automations (i.e. "current pattern, or if selection then selection within pattern") are grouped inside "Automation Curves.." for better discoverability.

2024-12-18 - esaruoho

Update: More Automation documentation progress

Feature: Duplicate All Samples at -36 -24 -12 +12 +24 +36 Transpose menu entries + shortcuts added. this will read the current keymappings of the selected instrument, duplicate the slots, and pitch the duplicated slots by the amount you picked. EDIT: added protection so that it does not duplicate the already duplicated samples, creating a feedback loop EDIT: added volume controls so it will drop the volume slowly so you don't get blaring sounds

https://www.loom.com/share/15e01283dd5843869ece3c3e1b2d3891?sid=2374bdee-801f-4ebc-97f9-be3fe7a06b5e

(No text)

2024-12-28 - esaruoho

Improvement: Paketti Timestretch Dialog now: lets you have 512 row pattern (two repeats of the same sample) lets you write pitch to current row-and-below, meaning you can create a render with varied note pitch and the -24 -12 c-4 +12 +24 buttons also follow the "print notes" many improvements incoming

2024-12-28 - esaruoho

Improvement: ChordsPlus has now been added as menu entries like this:

2024-12-29 - esaruoho

Improvement: Paketti Timestretch Dialog now makes it possible to have AHDSR envelope for clipping the sounds really quickly (fast gate).. has controls for changing to sample editor for better wave display visibility, or modulation mappings to see the pitch settings and the pitch envelope has default Release and Scale for Release for the AHDSR sliders protection against going below C-0 and higher than B-9, no errors there anymore. various Reversed checkbox fixes

2024-12-30 - esaruoho

Improvement: Paketti Timestretch Dialog now correctly shows the millisecond/second value of the Release slider checks whether the instrument has been pakettified or not (i.e. ahdsr envelope release will not work), and suggests to run Pakettify on the sample. has a Pakettify button that makes an identical copy, but with instrument macros. which correctly sets the instrument valuebox in the interface to the new, Pakettified, instrument. no longer errors out if there's over LPB32 (such as LPB56). correctly sets a 64 row pattern to 256 rows in order to print in the sampleoffset numbers. sets forward loop mode ON when enabling AHDSR, sets it off when disabling AHDSR.

2024-12-30 - esaruoho

2025-01-07 - esaruoho

Feature: Normalize Slices Independently (apparently this was a feature in Propellerheads ReCycle - aka Normalize Each Slice) Before:

After:

2025-01-08 - esaruoho

Improvement: Paketti KeyBindings dialog now has a dropdown menu for sorting, much like the Renoise KeyBindings dialog. Renoise KeyBindings dialog now properly sorts the subcategories together (so "all Edit subcategories are together" etc instead of all over the place)

2025-01-08 - esaruoho

Improvement: Due to all the above KeyBindings fixes, noticed a bunch of "Paketti..:" format keybindings, tweaked them so they're Paketti: instead.

2025-01-08 - esaruoho

Improvement: Sorting of Paketti + Renoise KeyBindings fixed (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/763, https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/760)

2025-01-09 - esaruoho

Improvement: slowly renaming everything related to Coluga to YTDLP since that's what it is and that's how people are going to understand what it is and what it does

2025-01-09 - esaruoho

Feature: PitchStep Hard Detune, this creates 16 steps of PitchStep content, ranging between -0.05 to +0.05

2025-01-09 - esaruoho

Improvement: Added the same above (but 64 steps of PitchStep with -0.05 to +0.05 to Unison Generator, meaning: after creating an unison generator sound, a random pitchstep of 64 step length is added for further detuning

2025-01-10 - esaruoho

Improvement: I've added "Send Selected Sample" to the Main Menu Entries and finally introduced the separator for better readability in the sample editor

2025-01-11 - esaruoho

2025-01-12 - esaruoho

Improvement: The "Sample NOW and F3" shortcuts have been renamed to Start Sampling and Sample Editor (Record) What this does: simple shortcut starts the sample recorder, and starts sampling. same shortcut stops the sample recording. after the sample has finished being saved and made available to Renoise, the Sample Editor is displayed.

2025-01-12 - esaruoho

Improvement: Added the above feature to Pattern Editor, Sample Editor, Instrument Box & Mixer, and it now has Autoseek set to On.

2025-01-12 - esaruoho

Removal: I have commented away the "Select Next / Previous ReWire channel" or ReWire features. if you want them back, please ping me.

2025-01-12 - esaruoho

Improvement: The Contour Shuttle Record Prototype has been renamed and is no longer considered a prototype. this is now called Contour Shuttle Record On/Off. all it does is display the Sample Recorder dialog, start sampling.. and if you run it again, it stops sampling. no extras.

2025-01-12 - esaruoho

Improvement: Contour Shuttle Record On/Off now sets Autoseek+Autofade to True. same for Start Sampling and Sample Editor.

2025-01-12 - esaruoho

Improvement: Contour Shuttle Record Off, Follow On, Record On, Follow Off shortcuts have been clarified. this is not a sample recorder feature. so the names have been changed too.

2025-01-12 - esaruoho

Feature: Record & Follow Flip. this shortcut + menu entry will enable Editmode. but disable follow pattern. if you run it again with editmode on, then it disables editmode, but enables follow pattern. so one shortcut will let you follow, until you're ready to quit following and instead edit. same for midimapping button.

2025-01-13 - esaruoho

Improvement: Added "Set Track Volume Level (L00)" as a MidiMapping too

2025-01-13 - esaruoho

Improvement: Added "Effect Column B00 Reverse Sample Effect On/Off" as a MidiMapping too

2025-01-13 - esaruoho

2025-01-14 - esaruoho

Improvement: I've resurrected the "Record to Current Track+Plus" feature and renamed it as Paketti Overdub . this allows, while Sample Recorder is set to these settings: (sync start stop: Pattern, Create a new instrument set to OFF) for recording max 12 new instruments per track, and auto-inputs the instrument at c-4 note and with 0G01 (glide) meaning you can record say 30 minutes of pads, and then have it play in your 16-64 row pattern (or any size pattern) and right at the end, restart the playback from the beginning. i.e. flawless loops. i've got two more improvements for this on my todo-list, after which it's video-time.

2025-01-15 - esaruoho

Improvement: Overdub now has a 12 note column per track and 1 note column per track flavor. so one instrument per track, or 12 instruments per track. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/769)

2025-01-15 - esaruoho

Improvement: Overdub now returns cursor focus to middle frame so that you can reverse or normalize what you recorded and also cuts the sample by 3500frames so that it definitely loops

2025-01-16 - esaruoho

Feature: Tempo Calculator for IT2/ST3/Schism etc stuff

2025-01-17 - esaruoho

More work on Overdub including bugreports to Renoise devs - they're looking at the bugs

2025-01-18 - esaruoho

Feature: Nudge Delay Output Delay +1ms -1ms and set to 0ms - shortcuts, menu entries and midimapping

2025-01-18 - esaruoho

Feature: Global Groove 2&4 - this midi mapping will let you modify the 2nd + 4th shuffle with one knob.

2025-01-19 - esaruoho

Improvement: +05 -05 +10 -10 as menu entries, keybindings

2025-01-19 - esaruoho

Improvements: Retitled some Midi Mappings for easier discoverability: these focus on being able to clear or wipe a specific column, track, selected track below, or all tracks below current row

2025-01-20 - Feature: Step by EditStep (Forwards / Backwards)

https://forum.renoise.com/t/editstep-jumping/75076/2

2025-01-20 - Improvement: Unison Generator fixes.

2025-01-20 - Improvement: Pakettify Current Instrument has been added as a menu entry to Instrument Box and Sample Navigator.

2025-01-20 - esaruoho

2025-01-20 - esaruoho

Improvement: Shortcut + Menu Entry for turning Pakettified instrument to Mono or non-Mono: Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/655 If the Instrument is not Pakettified, it suggests the Pakettification of the Instrument.

2025-01-21 - esaruoho

Feature: Note Switch Dialog this shows the notes in a dialog, and lets you select the instrument. meaning if you have 100 E-4 notes at instrument 3 and want to change them all to instrument 5, now you can. Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/363

2025-01-22 - esaruoho

Improvement: Finally!! I've figured out the difference between Windows and macOS/Linux when it comes to Loading Paketti Presets. Windows now properly loads them when loading with "Paketti PitchBend Multiple Sample Loader" or "Paketti PitchBend DrumKit Loader".

2025-01-22 - esaruoho

Improvement: In light of the above - I've removed all of the custom code + user-definable XRNI preset code from Paketti Preferences. since load_instrument doesn't work in the same way with windows / macOS - and nobody has volunteered any details of what kinds of 3rd party .XRNI instruments they use for this -- let's just keep it in a functional state by defaulting to the Paketti specified XRNI templates.

2025-01-23 - esaruoho

Feature: Select Sample x[Knob] will now kick you to the sample editor, and show you the sample you've selected. same for Select Sample Next & Select Sample Previous (both midi mappings and shortcuts).

2025-01-23 - esaruoho

Fixes https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/749

2025-01-24 - Improvement: The Automation Value Dialog now captures (!) the Cursor back to the Dialog upon EditStep change by user. so change the EditStep manually, and type in the automation value number to continue.

2025-01-24 - Feature: Realign Samples

Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/650 this is a menu entry that adds some extra spaces to match the "Chain" icon for better readability

2025-02-16 - esaruoho

Am going through a ChangesLog I was maintaining and realized I've neglected to mention bunches of things I've done last year. Here's a catchup:

Feature: Set Quantization to 01...32 (Global, Pattern Editor, Phrase Editor)

Feature: XLN Audio XO opener - checks where XO is in the track, VST,VST3,AudioUnit - if it is found, opens the External Editor. If not, loads it to a new instrument and opens. If already showing external editor, closes it. Reason for being? because you can alt-drag a selected drum into renoise (!!!) and load it.

Improvement: If "Replicate at Cursor All Above Current Track", and you're on the first row, then it defaults to repeating that low.

2025-02-16 - esaruoho

Continuing with the "Didn't I talk to anyone about this??" changeslog: The Paketti Stacker. This loads a sample, then lets you divide it mathematically into slices, then stacks them into a new instrument with velocity controlling which slice is played, then you can output a rising ramp (first to last), downwards ramp (last to first), then random ramp (any hit).

To make this more sensible, I've added "Expand + Flood Fill" & "Shrink + Flood Fill", Pitch Stepper controls (-24, -12, 0, +12, +24), and Instrument Pitching, Loop Modes to the Dialog.

This enables you to scretch valid loops into little pieces and have them tick tick tick tick through the pattern. Give it a try.

2025-02-16 - esaruoho

Feature: Set All Instruments All Samples Autoseek Off / On This queries all the Instruments - and sets all samples in each Instrument Autoseek state On or Off.

2025-07-10 - Feature: Paketti Enhanced Phrase Generator Dialog.

I've been toying with this and tweaking it slowly for a few months now.

This started with "Oh yay, v3.5 has a Phrase Script Editor", followed by "But I don't want to use it. Can I script the script?". This is basically a system for creating, and always-rendering, the Phrase Script Editor output, and having it play, without needing to look at the Phrase Script Editor. It lets you decide how long the sequence of notes is, how many notes there are, and which scale the notes conform to, and what the note order is. When you drag the Length and Note Count sliders, new sequences are randomly created, new note orders, etc. Volume Range controls the minimum and maximum Velocity. Octave Range is, for the range of Octaves covered. You can Randomize the Voicings, Randomize the Velocity, or Randomize All. You're able to control the Instrument Transposition, the Shuffle, Step Size and LPB. And access all the Steppers dialogs. The Status bar will show you what you created, and it will automatically start playing. Experiment and enjoy!

Here's what it looks like currently.

2025-07-10 - Feature: Midi Input Octave Control

Shortcuts, Midi Mappings and Menu Entries.

2025-07-10 - Improvement: Steppers Dialog look

I've also improved this so that this beams directly to the Enhanced Phrase Generator

2025-07-10 - Improvement: Paketti Enhanced Phrase Generator

Uses the same Paketti Steppers code, so they stay in sync visually (I make a change to Paketti Steppers dialog, and the Phrase Generator dialog updates, too). Pressing Duplicate will now both duplicate the instrument, and create a new track, and arm the track for playback, AND set "Always Render"&"Play Until End" to ON - meaning you immediately hear the changes you make. When hitting the Instrument transpose buttons, the C-4 + 0G01 is printed to the selected Track in Pattern Editor.

2025-07-10 - Improvement: Add Maximizer to Master shortcut

2025-07-10 - Feature: Paketti Pattern Effect Cheatsheet Minimize Dialog

2025-07-14 - Experimental Feature: Canvas Device Parameter Editor

This will read the currently selected device's parameters and display them on a single canvas, named accordingly. If you select a different device, the dialog will auto-update. You can also randomize parameters by percentage, can toggle External Editor on/off, can just draw to the Array aka create a completely new way of modifying parameters quickly.. Any ideas welcome.

2025-07-14 - Experimental Feature: Paketti Single Cycle Waveform Writer

There's a dropdown menu with multiple waveforms - there's a randomizer for creating random waveforms, you can have Wave A and Wave B and crossfade between them, there's a Hex Editor there so you can input the code in yourself. You can save a .CSV and load a .CSV - you can drag in a .CSV into Renoise and it'll get loaded. There's a "Create 12 random instrument" -> meaning, an instrument will pop up with 12 randomized waveforms pre-loaded, and Pakettified. There's the usual simplistic Sample Tools, Invert, Normalize, Fade In, Fade Out, Reverse, Scale 150% Scale 50%. You can pick up the waveform on your current Selected Sample - or have a Live Pickup Mode - which means, whichever Selected Sample you pick, the minute you draw, it is beamed back to the Sample. And a few other things. Any ideas welcome.

2025-07-14 - Improvement: Paketti Single Cycle Waveform Writer will now remember if Hide Hex checkbox is checked

2025-07-15 - Improvement: Paketti Single Cycle Waveform Writer will now apply the pitching code when rendering, which will now match the pitch of regular A440.

2025-07-28 - Improvement: Paketti Unison Generator now has a small amount of settings on the Paketti Preferences dialog

For setting the maximum minimum detune, and whether the detune fluctuates, or whether it's "hard sync" (surely the wrong term - but meaning if you set the finetune slider to 96, then all unison'd up samples are -96 to 96. And the original sample finetune is taken into consideration and calculated against.

2025-07-28 - Improvement: Paketti Single Cycle Wave Writer

Will now halt "Live Pickup Mode" for the duration of "Morph Sample" generation and "Export Wavetable to Instrument", to evade overwriting.

2025-07-31 - Improvement: Unison Generator Settings: "Duplicate Instrument before Unison processing" as a On/Off in Paketti Preferences.

Benefits: If set to True, and, you have a Plugin on the Instrument, the Plugin is duplicated. If set to True, and you have a bunch of Stepper settings or Volume AHDSR - the content is duplicated. If set to True, and you have the 8 macros set up already with user-preferred settings, all are retained.

2025-08-01 - Improvement: Delete Unused Samples had a regression where deleting unused samples would force a remap of the instrument, thus destroying the pattern. Now it doesn't delete the samples but instead overwrites the sample with silence (of 1 frame length, so minimum sample) and renames to EmptiedUnused.

2025-08-01 - Improvement: Fill Empty Sample Slots with Randomized drums will now take the EmptiedUnused into consideration, and make sure the drumkit mappings are not ruined while loading new samples in.

2025-08-01 - Improvement: Render Selection will now store and restore the Mute / Solo situation of the track, instead of flipping the Solo on/off causing unforeseen / undesired renders

2025-08-01 - Improvement: Single Cycle Waveform Writer will now, when pressing Live Pickup Mode, on an empty instrument, auto-pitch+finetune the empty samplebuffer, so when you start drawing, you're already in 440Hz tune.

2025-08-01 - Feature: Experimental Render Sample

Highly experimental Render with tail - take your sample, run Experimental Render and the Macros, Selected Track TrackDSP and Sample FX Chain content is all rendered to the sample using a throwaway pattern - with extra silence padding added to the end of the sample so the tail is correctly rendered. The output is pakettified by default, so you're ready to go. Also compensates for headroom, and restores the headroom afterwards. (Closes https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/709, https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/248, https://github.com/esaruoho/paketti/issues/356)

2025-08-02 - Improvement: Paketti Stepper dialog will now refresh to the new External Editor for a Stepper when changing instruments, and will no longer force 256 Global on every Stepper change - thus, you can have a 128 step Volume Step, 8 step Cutoff Step and 8 step Resonance Step.

2025-08-02 - Improvement: Groovebox 8120 BPM button will now dynamically update if user is changing the BPM from within Renoise. And a tooltip.

2025-08-02 - Improvement: Paketti Gater "Global Receive" will no longer force-print Panning settings from Gater to Pattern.

2025-08-02 - Improvement: Paketti Gater will show, with Deep Purple colouring, the selected StepCount.

2025-08-02 - Improvement: Paketti Gater now supports 16 AND 32 steps and there's global steps control.

2025-08-03 - Improvement: Single Cycle Waveform Writer

You can now use Single Cycle Waveform Writer to create "a type of wavetable" - The newly added "Write A&B" button will create Wave A as Sample Slot 1, Wave B as Sample Slot 2. The Wave A will be in Sample FX Chain 1, the Wave B will be in Sample FX Chain 2. The FX Chain 1 will have a LFO connected to Gainer, and the FX Chain 2 will also have a LFO connected to a Gainer. After the Gainer, for both FX Chains, there will be a Send device to FX Chain 3 - which is the "regular" Paketti FX Chain (followed by FX Chain 4 for Parallel Compression). After this, the Live Pickup Mode is enabled in the Single Cycle Waveform Writer - but with additional tweaks: Now, after this change, the Wave A Waveform drawing will write to Sample Slot 1, and Wave B Waveform drawing will write to Sample Slot 2. The Instrument is configured like so: The Modwheel controls the Reset of both LFO devices in Sample Chain 1 & Sample Chain 2. Both LFOs are set to "Infinite" Frequency - meaning, only the Modwheel will change the location of the LFO step. The Selected Track also gets a LFO, connected to Instr. Macro device's Modwheel. The Selected Track LFO Amplitude, Offset and Frequency, are exposed in the Mixer for easier availability, and the Dialog is automatically updated with three additional sliders - you guessed it, Amplitude, Offset and Frequency. This means that you can automate the LFO on the Selected Track - the device is helpfully renamed to Wavetable Mod *LFO, and thusly you can automate the crossfade / oscillation between the Wave A and Wave B waveforms. When the Single Cycle Waveform Writer is opened on an Instrument such as this - the Live Pickup Mode is automatically set, and the Three sliders on the Dialog are shown to the User. Additional bonus: Since you now have a FX Chain for Wave A, and a FX Chain for Wave B, the Wave A Chain1 and Wave B Chain2 can have effects loaded in and there will be automatable crossfading between the actual Chain output (such as effects) of the Waves.

2025-08-04 - Improvement: Tweaked the SlotShow shortcuts to say "SlotShow" for easier discoverability

2025-08-04 - Improvement: If running Wipe&Slice on an Instrument that has multiple samples, error out gracefully instead of slicing the first sample.

2025-08-04 - Improvement: Paketti Single Cycle Waveform Writer: If in Live Pickup Mode and editing Wave A, clicking on Sample Slot 2 while in WT mode, should switch you to Wave B instead of overwriting Wave A waveform.

2025-08-05 - Feature: Sectionizer

This lets you create a song's sections, pattern row counts and pattern names.

2025-08-05 - Feature: Paketti EQ30 Experiment

I’m a big fan of the age-old, 32-bit only, never-made-available for macOS, DiscoDSP EQ30. You can just draw with a mouse and get a bunch of sliders moved around. Hold the left mouse button down and paint → a max of 30 EQ Bands are within your grasp with a single click + drag. So here’s a Renoise v3.5 only hack for making it happen, using 4 EQ10’s. If you have any ideas, do let me know. If you can think of other Renoise Native devices I could tweak and hack like this, do let me know, too.

2025-08-06 - Improvement: Pattern Status Monitor is now a Preference in Paketti Preferences - so you can "always have it on"

2025-08-06 - Improvement: Added two dropdown menus for AKWF to Single Cycle Waveform Writer. & Write AKWF A&B button which creates a AKWF Wavetable Instrument.

2025-08-06 - Improvement: Added <do nothing> as an option for the Device Loader, in addition to External Editor / Parameter Editor. in Paketti Preferences. - so now you can load devices but not have the ExtEditor or Parameter Editor auto-open.

2025-08-07 - Improvement: Split Paketti Preferences to three columns so that they can all be seen.

2025-08-07 - Improvement: Player Pro Always Open Dialog - a setting for always opening Note Dialog or Effect Dialog depending on Note Column or Sub Column or Effect Column

2025-08-07 - Improvement: Batch Pakettify will now write the filename to the sample name in addition to instrument name.

2025-08-07 - Improvement: Batch Pakettify will now correctly apply Paketti settings (oversampling, interpolation, autofade, autoseek, loop, etc) and use Process Slicing for not timing out during the process of converting 300+ samples.

2025-08-07 - Improvement: Player Pro Effect Column - when hitting "8" on Volume / Panning column - will correctly display & select "0" and when returning back to 7, get back to "original 2nd column number". just a minor tweak.

2025-08-07 - Improvement: Isolate Slices to New Instrument now uses Process Slicer so it doesn't time out on large amounts of slices.

2025-08-09 - Improvement: Made it possible to (currently in a hardcoded fashion, so let me know) blacklist a device so that it doesn't open in External Editor, instead opens in Parameter Editor. For instance, the crash-prone Schaack Transient Shaper 2 now loads in Parameter Editor automatically instead of the crash-prone External Editor.

2025-08-09 - Improvement: Parameter Editor will now default to not loading, but instead showing External Editor, if there's more than 64 parameters to show. This means when you have Paketti Preferences set to "Parameter Editor" - Pro Q-3 is no longer unusable. (It was just a chaotic jumble of hundreds of parameters, no way to see what you're doing)

2025-08-10 - Improvement: EQ30 experiment now has Automation writing, automatic parameter updates, and control over Points/Lines/Curves - for those who want to "just step in a bit of EQ here and there"

2025-08-10 - Improvement: EQ30 can now be loaded as a shortcut. The logic is as follows: Load it - it loads and shows. Already have it? Just show it. EQ30 already displaying? Hide it.

2025-08-10 - Improvement: Parameter Editor dialog can now also be set to Points/Lines/Curves for Automation purposes.

2025-08-10 - Improvement: Groovebox8120 now follows the track Mute states - so if you mute in Renoise, it shows as muted on the Groovebox 8120, too.

This will let you have the dialog open, play notes on the Computer Keyboard, press enter and the played notes are saved as a chord, which you can then output anywhere. The Smart Note Off feature is also there, adding a Smart Note Off to the end of the pattern. And if you have 4 or 8 chords put to Dump Slots, then you can also spread them across the pattern. I can think of no method that would be as fast - and as dynamic. If you have a 512 row pattern, and have 8 chords, you can slam them in, automatically, without thinking, every 64 rows. 64 row and 4 chords? every 16 steps. If you made an error, you can always use backspace to remove the newest note, or shift-backspace to wipe the whole Currently Pressed Notes. You can modify the Slot Phrasing (shifting them by octaves randomly) or do the very same thing for the current Selected Track's Pattern content for Selected Pattern. And you can access the Paketti Gater directly.

2025-08-17 - Improvement: Impulse Tracker Move Forwards / Move Backwards by Track shortcuts would error out if trying to move from an Effect Column -containing track to a track that does have an Effect Column but it isn't visible. No longer. Fixed.

2025-08-17 - Improvement: Added "Audition" and a total of 16 slots to the Capture Last Take dialog. Audition lets you play the chord you played again, and click on it again to stop playing. Will let you find what you could play next by audition and then play and then create a new slot.

2025-08-17 - Improvement: If Running Unison Generator on a Single Cycle Waveform Generator generated Wavetable sound, both Wave A & Wave B will be duplicated 5 times for a maximum of 12 samples, and Unison duplicates placed to the right Sample FX Chain, and the Wavetable LFO device will point to the Unison version.

2025-08-18 - Feature: Set Sample to End at End of Pattern

For those Reverse Cymbals - you can now have Paketti calculate the position + delay value for you, so you don't have to think about it. If there's something to tweak, tweak a bit. Enjoy!

2025-08-18 - Improvement: Single Cycle Waveform Writer now has Unison A&B and Unison AKWF A&B writing - write a directly Unison Generated Wavetable and start automating the Crossfade between the two (and their unison copies)

2025-08-19 - Improvement: Volume/Delay/Pan Slider Controls dialog is slightly more optimized now

2025-08-19 - Improvement: Harmonics 1-11 added to Single Cycle Waveform Writer, with a Drawbar and Amplitude control.

2025-08-20 - Feature: Hide Unused Effect Columns - this will hide all the Effect Columns that are not used anywhere on any pattern.

2025-08-20 - Improvement: Wipe&Slice "Double Slice Count" & "Halve Slice Count" - maintaining "Equal Slice lengths"

2025-08-20 - Improvement: Single Cycle Waveform Writer: The H1-H11 data is written to the instrument + sample name, so thus re-opening the dialog will set the Harmonic Drawbars correctly and you can continue.

2025-08-20 - Feature: Midi Knob for cycling between Automation Envelopes that have content on them.

2025-08-20 - Improvement: Hold-to-Fill will now follow EditStep - if selected, and can accept Midi Notes too. So, hold down a midi note with EditStep and it will fill the rest of the pattern. This is a slightly improved OctaMED feature.

2025-08-21 - Feature: Create New Sample Slot & Select // Delete Selected Sample & Select. Create New Sample Slot will also use the Paketti Loader settings, so your preferred Autofade,Autoseek,Oversample,Interpolation settings will be applied.

2025-08-21 - Feature: Remove Empty Tracks - if the channel is empty across the whole pattern space, remove it. Also a flavor that only removes channels that are empty across the whole pattern space AND have no Track DSP effects.

2025-08-21 - Feature: Wipe all empty patterns from end of Pattern Sequencer. If you tend to create lots of empty patterns and then populate them - here's a method of safely deleting them.

2025-08-21 - Feature: Set all Samples in all Instruments to New Note Action: Cut.

2025-08-21 - Improvement: Reduced the height of the Paketti Gater dialog by combining Titles and Column Switch rows.

2025-08-22 - Improvement: Experimental Render Sample (with TrackFX) will now correctly render the original non-sliced sample, and then recalculate + reapply the Slice markers, and all the Slice settings to each Slice, per Slice.

2025-08-22 - Feature: Selected Instrument Transpose shortcuts +12/+1/-1/-12, set to specific Transpose value, or add a relative amount (-120 to +120) shortcuts, menu entries and midi mappings.

2025-08-22 - Improvement: Added Behringer Pro-800 to CCizer as a list of CCs.

2025-08-22 - Improvement: Paketti Groovebox 8120 will now visually trigger "Global Groove" checkbox enabled, if moving Global Groove sliders.

2025-08-22 - Improvement: If you tried to use the Single Cycle Waveform Writer and write an A&B sample (A&B, A&B Unison, A&B AKWF, A&B AKWF Unison) on a Master, Send or Group Track - an error would be shot. Now you're protected from the error with an informative status message telling you to hit a regular track instead.

2025-08-22 - Improvement: Groovebox 8120: If you click on a Stepper button while the Paketti Steppers Dialog is open, the Dialog will no longer close, instead switch to that specific track.

2025-08-22 - Improvement: Groovebox 8120: SequentialRandomLoadAll, SequentialRandomLoad, Sequential Load buttons now all set the User Preference settings for Autofade, Oversample, Interpolation, Autoseek, etc at the end of loading all the (max 960) samples.

2025-08-23 - Feature: Interpolate BPM Current to Next Pattern - this will create a slow interpolation ramp of BPM changes to slowly move from the current Pattern BPM to the next Pattern's BPM on the current Pattern.

2025-08-23 - Feature: Polyend Slice Switcher - Detect imported PTI is in Slice instead of Beat Slice mode, and treat it as a C0-B9 instrument instead of loading it as Slices, set the Selected Slice as 00-7F velocity and the rest as 00-00 velocity and open, if Paketti Preferences set to it, a Slice Selector dialog that lets you set the preferred melodic Slice sample to 00-7F and the rest to 00-00 velocity.

2025-08-24 - Improvement: Experimental Render will now 1) store and disable Loop Mode of a Sliced Sample during Render 2) reinstate Loop Mode to original Sliced sample 3) Strip Silence from the end of the Rendered sample (this is a setting in the Paketti Preferences).

2025-08-24 - Feature: Swap Pattern Slot with Above / Below - this will swap the content of the above pattern's selected track (note content / effects / automation) with the current pattern's selected track content. Same for Below.

2025-08-24 - Feature: Filename-Based Keyzone Mapping - so if your sample is, say, 01_69 to 01_79 - it'll map 00-69 and 79-119 (and everything in-between) to a keymapping setup.

2025-08-25 - Improvement: Slices to Pattern will now adopt a more streamlined approach if Beatsync is set to On - and if there are very close slices (think flams) - multiple Note Columns will be used instead of overwriting the current Note Column row.

2025-08-25 - Feature: Squeeze Notes (Pattern) / (Song) - this will squeeze notes for a Selected Track, to the minimum available amount of Note Columns - so if you have notes all over the place on multiple Note Columns, they are moved.

2025-08-25 - Improvement: Explode Notes to New Tracks will now correctly sort the tracks (first first, last last), and there's a Paketti Preference for auto-naming the newly created tracks to note + instrument.name.

2025-08-25 - Feature: Send Selected Sample Region to User-Defined App - this lets you use the same Launch App feature to send a sample region to an app of your choice, or a folder of your choice. Same works already for Selected Sample, or for launching a specific app. This means you can send your samples to specific apps of your choice such as Ableton Live, Audacity, or any other app that can handle "app wav.wav" type loading (note well, Bitwig does not support this.)

2025-08-25 - Improvement: Explode Notes to New Tracks will also explode the Effect Column, Delay, Panning, SampleFX Columns and if there are multiple same-notes on different effect columns with separate Sample FX / Delay / Panning / Velocity - then retain the note column count.

2025-08-25 - Improvement: "Fit Slices to Longer Slice with Power of 2 padding" is now protected against going for a larger slice count than the maximum 256 allowed.

2025-08-26 - Improvement: Groovebox 8120 now has a Collapse feature

2025-08-26 - Improvement: Groovebox 8120 Collapse state and "Safe Append" (The safe creation of 8 instruments + 9th instrument which is the "Groovebox ends here", and the safe creation of 8 new tracks to the beginning) are in Paketti Preferences now. So if you've got a track on-going, you can just slam the Groovebox 8120 onto it and continue on your merry way.

2025-08-26 - Feature: Clear Unused Patterns - this will clear all patterns that are not on the Pattern Sequence.

2025-08-26 - Feature: Paketti Fill - this Dialog allows you to fill the selection with certain content decided by you by modifying the Dialog settings.

2025-08-27 - Improvement: Paketti Fill now correctly maps the FromSample to ToSample sliders to Slices if there's a sliced sample - and the naming convention is Slice01 to SliceXX. The Min/Max Effect Column sliders are enabled by default, and are used when hitting any Effect from the Effect Dropdown Menu. Panning, Delay, Volume column writing has been enabled for Effect.. And Events is no longer auto-set to 50 when Step Length is, say, 4 - this used to require repetitive user intervention to fix the situation.

2025-08-27 - Improvement: Paketti Stacker "Follow Pattern" button will now move you to the Pattern Editor - if Follow Pattern is on, without toggling Follow Pattern off.

2025-08-27 - Improvement: Paketti Stacker the current Instrument Pitch Transpose will be read and the correct Pitch Switch in the dialog will be set (so if you're at +24 Transpose, then +24 Transpose button will be selected.)

2025-08-27 - Improvement: Paketti Stacker: When Stacking a Sliced sample, the original sample.name will be used in addition to "Slice 01" for better communication.

2025-08-27 - Improvement: Launch App Selection "Send Selected Sample" & "Send Selected Sample Region" now use a valid and informative filename. Such as PERC WAV [2025-05-14 221922]_16beats_slice25-tmpSave.wav

2025-08-27 - Improvement: Groovebox 8120's Global NNA "Cut" will now set all Instrument Samples to "Cut".

2025-08-27 - Improvement: Single Cycle Waveform Writer will now correctly update the Harmonic Drawbars if we're dealing with a Harmonics sample.

2025-08-27 - Improvement: MIDI Populator dialog will now inform you as to what specifically the rows / dropdowns are for.

2025-08-27 - Improvement: Polyend Buddy: Save PTI + Save WAV + RX2->PTI will now correctly prompt for a place to save to, if device not connected and not on USB Storage Mode.

2025-08-27 - Load RingMod Instrument & Load RingMod Legacy Instrument - these are cheap and cheerful "starters" with keytracker going to RingMod (and DC Offset + Mono devices available but disabled, and parallel compression + cutoff/resonance macro knobs)

2025-08-28 - Improvement: Paketti Steppers dialog will cleanly remove it's own notifiers by checking if they exist first before removing, instead of erroring out.

2025-08-28 - Improvement: Paketti Groovebox 8120: If clicking on a Step count button/"playhead" - selects the Instrument Track + Instrument.

2025-08-28 - Improvement: Paketti Stacker - if already in Pattern Editor and pressing Follow Pattern and Follow Pattern is On, then turn Follow Pattern off.

2025-08-28 - Improvement: Capture Last Take now correctly writes note offs, and correctly fits slots to Pattern again.

2025-08-28 - Improvement: Paketti Steppers Offset Slider will now reset to the middle when you let go, after moving the Offset of the selected Stepper.

2025-08-28 - Improvement: Paketti Groovebox 8120: Clicking on Automation on a different row will select the previously selected Automation envelope and create it from the macro knob state. But, if nothing is selected, then Pitchbend is created at 0.5 value.

2025-08-28 - Improvement: Paketti MIDI Populator will now correctly inject the correct type of Send device ("Keep Original" + "Send Volume at -INF")

2025-08-28 - Improvement: Paketti MIDI Populator now has a setting in Paketti Preferences for deciding if the Send or Multiband Send device is loaded when user requests Sends.

2025-08-28 - Improvement: Selected Track Dev (MIDI Mappings) will now 1) correctly expose the tweaked parameter on the Mixer, and, if device is not loaded, then load the device.

2025-08-29 - Improvement: Polyend Buddy RX2->PTI button has been improved to also support REX & ITI - so it becomes a RX2/REX/ITI -> PTI button.

2025-08-29 - Improvement: CCizer: Added Polyend Performance Mode & Polyend Synth Mode textfiles for quickly setting up Midi Control Devices inside Renoise for automating or controlling these.

2025-08-29 - Improvement: Strip Silence & Move Beginning Silence to End now use Process Slicing so no further timeouts due to long processes.

2025-08-30 - Improvement: When the Parameter Editor is open, pressing space will open up the External Editor. Another space press will hide it.

2025-08-30 - Improvement: When Parameter Editor has closed in Automation Sync Mode, a new opening of a Parameter Editor would keep writing to Automation - now it correctly resets.

2025-08-30 - Improvement: Paketti Fill will no longer "not write", if EditStep is 0. Will also correctly update EditStep setting when in Notes mode. Will also clear the note column if typing Euclidian notes + effects. Will not clear Note Columns if typing "FX Only".

2025-08-31 - Improvement: Normalize Selected Sample / Slice

will now read the sample region selection and normalize only the selected channel selection, or, if nothing selected, the whole sample or slice.

2025-08-31 - Feature: Sample Effect Generator

This is a soft take / impression of the Anvil Studio: Audio Lab feature which allows you to draw a waveform, draw a pitch envelope and a volume envelope. Press enter, and you've got a sample.

2025-09-01 - Improvement: Sample Effect Generator

Added more waveforms (2 octave steps, 1 octave steps), tweaked the 2X / 1/2X to be less buggy, improved the interface, added Invert button for inverting, added a Live Audition mode, so basically, draw and let go of drawing and it is rendered. Added Paketti Loader Settings (Interpolation, Oversampling, Autofade, other settings).. Added Random Steps for pitch loops, tweaked the Fade out to be less clicky. Also tunes the sample to a440hz so it'll, if using Octave Steps, for instance, match with a plugin played on the same instrument. Also added Process Slicing to the 25 Random samples, and made it less random (not random,random,random for 25 samples - instead, randomly pick something from the dropdown menus for Waveform, Pitch and Volume.)

2025-09-01 - Improvement: EQ30: Randomize by EditStep

This will clear the current EQ30 automation across all envelopes, and Randomize by EditStep - and set the envelopes to Points so they don't interpolate, but instead step by EditStep.

2025-09-01 - Improvement: Parameter Editor: Randomize by EditStep.

This will clear the current Selected Device Automation Parameters, read EditStep and randomize Steps to all Parameters of the Device.

2025-09-02 - Feature: 0C00 Note Cut Toggle

This shortcut will insert a Note Off 0C00 command to the selected Effect Column, or, if on Note Column, it'll appear on the first Effect Column.

2025-09-02 - Improvement: Paketti Theme Selector Save Favorites will save "onlynamewritten" as "onlynamewritten.xml" but if you save it as "textfile.txt" it'll save it as "textfile.txt". Just a minor improvement.

2025-09-02 - Feature: Paketti Sample Offset / Slice Step Sequencer

This allows you to pick your favorite 8 slices, or the 8 sample offset values of your choice, and start stepsequencing with them. There's also mute / pitch control for each slice - the pitch is disabled if you hit Sample Offset. And re-enabled when you move back to Slice. It will flood the pattern full (so 16 steps? 512 row pattern? Fills it all). Also you can offset, just like with Paketti Gater + Paketti Groovebox 8120 + Paketti VolDelayPan - them so they keep going against eachother causing all kinds of polyrhythmic fun.

2025-09-02 - Improvement: 0C00 to All tracks, 0C00 to Master only (current row)

2025-09-03 - Improvement: Toggle Solo Tracks will now correctly unsolo the track even if it's within a Group.

2025-09-03 - Improvement: PlayerPro Transpose +12 -12 will now correctly transpose each and every note column in the selection.

2025-09-03 - Improvement: Paketti Sample Offset / Slice Step Sequencer

When going from 16 steps to 32 steps, duplicate the content instead of forcing the user to re-do it. Switching from using Sample FX Column for ZZ04 for defining StepCount, to. using Note Column naming for defining StepCount. Maximum Slice was off by one (C#4 to A#4? - allowed picking B-4 which did nothing), fixed. Writing "16step or 32step view?" to first note column (32_32) would mean StepCount 32 and View 32 Steps upon Dialog opening Changing tracks will update the Dialog to that track's settings.

2025-09-04 - Improvement: Added Themes: Red Hack V1, Red Console V1, Level10, Level11, Level11 Bright, Level12.

2025-09-04 - Improvement: Paketti Sample Offset / Slice Step Sequencer

2025-09-04 - Improvement: Distribute Samples to Individual Sample FX Chains now also does the same thing for Slices.

2025-09-04 - Improvement: Paketti Gater now correctly updates the Retrig Number to the one that was already on the track.

2025-09-04 - Improvement: Randomize Selected Automation Device Parameter or Parameters - should no longer error out in certain edgecases.

2025-09-04 - Improvement: Paketti Dynamic Views: Added configurations for detaching + reattaching Mixer View & Instrument Editor.

2025-09-05 - Improvement: Slice detection is now dynamic instead of hardcoded to c-4 c#4 onwards - the correct 8 first slices are automatically mapped to the rows when opening Sample Offset / Slice Step Sequencer.

2025-09-05 - Improvement: Impulse Tracker ALT-L (select whole track) modification - Shift-ALT-L will only select the currently selected Note Column instead of all the Note Columns in the currently selected Track.

2025-09-06 - Feature: "Solo Tracks with Pattern Data" - if you're doing A/B comparisons while arranging a track, and don't want to manually mute the "0 pattern" content, just run it on the previous pattern sequencer pattern and then go to the "0 pattern" and unmute something, then use "Duplicate Pattern Above & Clear Muted Tracks" to keep soft-arranging.

2025-09-07 - Improvement: Paketti Sample Offset / Slice Step Sequencer

Selecting a row will now highlight that, just like with Groovebox 8120 Selecting a row, while on the Sample Editor, will show the Slice you've selected, so you can easily edit the length of it with other Paketti shortcuts Selecting a row, while on the Sample Editor, while in Sample Offset mode, will dynamically show you where the Sample Offset starts the playback from. Duplicate Pattern will duplicate the current pattern to a new one and continue playback from that. Changing a pattern without changing the track, will result in the stepsequence being updated. Show Velocity in an extra area of the dialog. Velocity Draw

2025-09-08 - Improvement: YT-DLP will now work more stably with Linux - finding the right binary for yt-dlp instead of being hardcoded to macOS settings

2025-09-08 - Improvement: Paketti Function Search will now correctly launch Midi functions - instead of doing nothing.

2025-09-09 - Improvement: Added Paketti Preferences for hiding Parameter Editor content such as "Previous Track" / "Previous Device" / "Next Device" / "Next Track", A/B, Randomize, Automation Points, and for creating a 75% height version of the canvas and for half-size font.

2025-09-09 - Improvement: Same Half-size Font Parameter setting for EQ30

2025-09-09 - Improvement: Duplicate Track and Instrument will now correctly set the PostFX / PreFX volume and the visible mixer parameters for the duplicated devices.

2025-09-15 - Improvement: Paketti Chebyshev Polynomial Shaper now has multiple sliders to control Harmonics 2-11, and more tweaks and optimizations.

2025-09-15 - Improvement: The "Paketti Automation" Doofer tweak/Hack checks / re-loads, are now implemented into F5, F6 and F7 (and F6 has been created.) F5 is ImpulseTracker for "Play Song from the beginning", F6 is "Play Pattern" and F7 is "Play from Selected Row". This means that when you use these shortcuts, after triggering the Paketti Automation hack - you'll be able to keep automating the Global Groove, LPB, BPM, EditMode, Octave, EditStep, Recording, Selected Instrument Pitch, Selected Sample LoopLength, Pattern Length and Selected Phrase LPB. It will not work during Renoise Rendering, unfortunately. So "Rolling Sampler" or Audio Loopback only.

2025-09-17 - Improvement: Added "Sample Offset / Slice Step Sequencer" to Paketti Gadgets submenu for Sample Editor, Pattern Editor and Mixer, and to Tools -> Paketti Gadgets.

2025-09-18 - Feature: Paketti StemSlicer

Automatic BPM-based Beat-slicing/audio preparing of your remix stens. Set BPM, decide the beat lengths (64, 32, 16, 8, 4) - Start the Process - and Paketti StemSlicer will do your automatic cutting for you. Afterwards, click on Load as Drumkit - and they appear sorted by original sample and length. The silence ones are skipped from being loaded.

2025-10-03 - Improvement: More tweaks for multi-sample loading using Paketti Settings from Disk Browser / Drag'n'Drop.

2025-10-04 - Feature: Play & Loop Pattern 01...16 - These Midi Mappings will jump to a specific pattern, and set it as looping in Pattern Sequencer. The playhead position will be retained. So if you're at Pattern01 row 14 and you trigger Pattern04, you're on Pattern04 row 14.

2025-10-04 - Improvement: Added a few more Tooltips to Paketti Preferences for informing the user of what they're looking at.

2025-10-04 - Feature: Convert Automation to FX & Convert Automation to FX (Move) - this will convert the Automation Envelopes to Effect Columns, and the Move flavor will wipe the max 8 Automation Envelopes.

2025-10-05 - Improvement: Organized Instrument Box, Mixer, Sample Editor, Sample FX Chain, Automation, Pattern Matrix, Pattern Sequencer, Disk Browser, Main Menu -> Tools -> Paketti menu entries heavily.

2025-10-06 - Feature: Paketti Drumkit Loader MuteTrig - this will load 120 random samples from your folder/subfolder structure, then assign each of them to a separate FX Chain, and set it up so that only one FX Chain will play at a time. Meaning, you can have really heavy effects on every drumhit, but everytime you press another one, the heavy processing tail will be cut off immediately.

2025-10-06 - Feature: Toggle Automatically Open Selected Sample FX Chain Device External Editors - so, if you're using the Paketti Drumkit Loader MuteTrig - it'll open you the External Editors of devices that are on the FX Chain you trigger.

2025-10-07 - Improvement: HyperEdit correctly autoassigns the Instr Automation first 8-32 parameters if track has no automation envelopes in existence. otherwise populates by used envelopes, then populates the unused rows with the devices available

2025-10-15 - Improvement: Added the following themes to Paketti Theme Selector:

2025-10-16 - Improvement: Added "Load to All Tracks" for Quick Load Device - it will be added to each Renoise Sequencer Track. You can also disable/activate all of them. Paketti Preferences specifies whether loaded as the first, or as the last Track DSP Chain entry. You can also Open the External Editors or hide all of them in one go. This idea is specifically seeded by the HornetPlugins HoRNet HarmoniQ which was on an offer today. And which is supposed to help me reduce the inharmonics and thus I decided to try and ram it on a Renoise track and see what it sounds like. But you could, obviously, load any other device to your Track DSPs wholesale. Enjoy

2025-10-18 - Improvement: Added .8svx + .16sv export (and batch conversion of wav + aiff in folders to 8svx / 16sv) for those oldschool PT/OctaMED heads

2025-10-25 - Feature: Sample Range Device Loader Toggle - when toggled on, when you load a Native Effect or a VST (VST,AU,LADSPA,DSSI,VST3, etc) device - the region that you had selected in the Sample Editor, is copied, Pakettified, and the effect is copied to that. And if no selection was selected, then it just works as expected (Sample FX Chain, Track DSP Chain.)

2025-10-25 - Feature: Destructive Sample Range Repeat - this will take the Sample Buffer Range that you have selected in Sample Editor - and repeat it once, and then select the repeat range, and let you continue onwards.

Also added the Phrase Follow Pattern Playback Hack to the Options.

2025-10-28 - Improvement: Max Amp DC Offset Kick Generator is now Pakettified - so comes with the 8 macros ready to go. Also the instrument transpose is set to -36.

2025-10-28 - Improvement: Paketti Function Search will now retain the selection after you press enter on a function, so you can press enter again to run the function again.

2025-10-29 - Improvement: Load New Instrument with Current Slices has now been fixed so it, again, applies the current slices to the newly loaded instrument.

2025-10-30 - Improvement: HyperEdit used to shoot an error if you right-clicked on a parameter that had no envelope. No longer.

2025-11-04 - Improvement: When using PCM Writer A&B Unison or A&B Wavetable creation - the Parameter Editor will now open with 4 parameters instead of 7:

2025-11-04 - Improvement: When using PCM Writer A&B Unison - the process is organized correctly, so first the waveforms are created, then Unison Generator is run on it, and then the Wavetable Mod *LFO device is loaded, so it points to the correct instrument instead of the non-Unison'd instrument.

2025-11-05 - Feature: Show/Hide 1st...16th Plugin Instrument External Editor - this will find the first.. or 16th.. Plugin Instrument, and show or hide the External Editor.

2025-11-05 - Feature: "Flood Fill Pattern with Phrase" - This will calculate the length of the Phrase, and fill the Pattern with the Phrase until end of Pattern.

2025-11-05 - Improvement: Paketti About/Donations dialog has been optimized

2025-11-14 - Improvement: Paketti Pattern Editor Cheatsheet will now write to the Effect Column you are on, instead of defaulting to Effect Column 01, even if you're on Effect Column 08.

2025-11-15 - Improvement: Show Largest Samples Dialog now has "Cut in Half" & "Delete" buttons - meaning you don't have to manually delete content, or cut it in half, you can just press the button. The dialog will update with the updated information, also.

2025-11-15 - Improvement: Device Load Order "Last" will treat *Instr. Macros device with the same care, i.e., minimize it, just like the "First" order device of same name.

2025-11-15 - Feature: Nudge up/down by Step, Nudge up/down by delay, added to Phrase Editor and Pattern Editor - these will work if nothing is selected, so the note row you're on, will get nudged.

2025-11-15 - Feature: Create New Rhythmic Slice DrumChain with Current Slices - Normalized versions, XRNI loading, Randomize. The idea here is that if you have a sliced break, or sliced anything, you can use this feature to make a duplicate of that instrument, and replace all the slices with either user-selected drums, load in another sliced xrni, or load a bunch of random samples based on the folder you selected (whereupon it reads your subfolders and all samples, checks how many slices are in the original instrument, and loads that many samples). What happens afterwards is, the samples are converted to matching samplerate, bitdepth and channel amount, and the slice lengths are applied to the samples - basically resulting in an identical length loop but with different sample content, cut to match the slice length per each slice. Usecases: Take your Amen beat and retain the Rhythmic Slices but replace the sounds with the Think beat - or anything at all. It's quite versatile with unexpected results a-plenty.

2025-11-16 - Feature: Pick Up Slices & Apply Slices with Same Relative Positioning - if you're taking a 16bit 44.1khz sample, rendering it with processing to 24bit 96khz or 24bit 48khz - the slices in the sample can be reapplied to match the changed frame count.

2025-11-16 - Improvement: .SF2 Menu Entry for importing now works exactly as well as the drag'n'drop function.

2025-11-16 - Improvement: The RX2 Decoder macOS version works on both Intel Macs and Apple Silicon Macs.

2025-11-17 - Plumbing: Paketti PTI/REX tool / Import File Formats tool has been renamed Paketti Formats - and has been updated to have all the same Import / Export formats that Paketti already did.

2025-11-17 - Improvement: File-> Paketti Import submenu has been introduced for easier discoverability of formats to load / import. Drag'n'drop still works, but maybe this helps people who like looking at menu entries.

2025-11-18 - Feature: Default Pattern Init Dialog - combined both Phrase Init and the newly created Pattern Init Dialog together, so now you can use "Create New Track with Channelstrip" so that you get a specific set of automated settings for your track. Also moved the Channelstrip default selection from Paketti Preferences to Pattern / Phrase Init Dialog for easier configurability. Also added the Channelstrip Device Chain configuration

2025-11-18 - Improvement: Set Selected Sample Transpose or Finetune to 0, or Pan to 1.0 0.5 or 0 or -0.5 or -1.0 - and many others, all have protection against no sample actually being selected, and the "0" settings will work directly.

2025-11-19 - Improvement: Select Specific track is now 1-32 instead of 1-16.

2025-11-19 - Improvement: Create New Track with Channelstrip & Pattern/Phrase Init Settings Dialog now no longer error out on adding a Send, and also have an additional setting for Send Effect Column Count - and the naming is switched from T# to S#if such is set.

2025-11-20 - Feature: Nudge and Move Selection for both Pattern and Phrase Editor. This will move the selection range and the content within it, with collision detection (notes, content, start or end of pattern). Can move content within multiple tracks.

2025-11-20 - Improvement: Volume AHDSR in Paketti Loader Settings now correctly finds the Volume AHDSR device instead of being hardcoded to device 2.

2025-11-21 - Improvement: 18 other places also now correctly check for Paketti Preferences for Enable AHDSR - and apply it to the loaded samples, instead of ignoring the setting.

2025-11-21 - Improvement: Groovebox 8120: Pressing space will start or stop playback.

2025-11-22 - Feature: Impulse Tracker Capture Marker Position (CTRL-F7) - this lets you mark a specific pattern row, and the Impulse Tracker F7 "play from line" will start from that pattern row on every F7 press. And if there's no Marker Position stored, then it'll start from where the current line is.

2025-11-23 - Improvement: Added "Append" feature to User-Defined Sample Folders Loader Dialog - this adds random samples to the current Instrument instead of adding new ones.

2025-11-23 - Improvement: Added SubColumn aware versions of Write Values/Notes Ascending,Descending,Random - depending on if you're on Delay, Volume, Panning SubColumns, it'll write to those. Also follows selection.

2025-11-25 - Improvement: Introduced a toggle for modifying Select Specific Track behaviour - if the toggled is set to On, then pressing Select Specific Track 01...16 will actually find out the nearest Instrument, and select that Instrument, in addition to changing the Selected Track.

2025-11-26 - Improvement: When importing a .txt file into Renoise, eSpeak would open up and, render the .txt file content to a wavefile, but leave the textfield without an update. Now it correctly updates it to the .txt file content.

2025-11-26 - Feature: Order Notes Across Track Across Patterns - this will reorganize the notes for the Track across all patterns. Also a Phrase version is available.

2025-11-26 - Improvement: Paketti Dynamic Views now has a total of 9 Dynamic Views, split across three dialogs (1-3, 4-6, 7-9). The reason is that I've added Edit Mode, Play, Pattern Follow and Metronome controls. You can even use these to create your own combined shortcut macros, such as, a shortcut that turns on Metronome, Edit Mode, Play and Pattern Follow (and moves you to Pattern Editor), for instance.

2025-11-26 - Improvement: Added Default / Precise interpolation for Experimental Render and also Render Pattern or Render Selected Track. They're in Paketti Preferences.

2025-11-26 - Improvement: Added "Song Frame Calculator Toggle" as a toggle with a checkbox, to Main Menu: Options.

2025-11-26 - Feature: Remove all Repeaters - this will cleanly remove all Repeaters from the song, all tracks.

2025-11-27 - Feature: Select Next / Previous Phrase, Select Phrase 01...16 added as global shortcuts with "no phrase" protection if Instrument has no phrases.

2025-11-27 - Improvement: Wipe & Slice: Random Slice Distribution / Running Slice Distribution will now automatically notice if there are more than 119 slices, and default to using 0Sxx to trigger the slices - this enables you to have 128-256 slices triggered. If less than 119 slices, then it defaults to using the keymapping notes instead of 0Sxx.

2025-11-27 - Improvement: Select Next / Previous Phrase, Select Phrase 01...16 now have a version that does push you to Phrase Editor, and a version that doesn't, each.

2025-11-27 - Improvement: Stem Slicer now has an option to never render silence - instead skip them

2025-11-28 - Feature: Mono/Pan Cycle for Selected Track, and for Master - these cycle through Mono L+R and then PostFX Hard Left -> Hard Right -> Center, then without Mono L+R and only PostFX Hard Left -> Hard Right -> Center. So, 6 steps in total.

2025-11-30 - Feature: Midi Select Track 01...32 - these are triggers that let you select Track 01 to 32. So one Midi Mapping per each Track. If no track is found - then it errors out in the status bar, keeping the user safe from errors.

2025-12-01: Improvement: Groovebox 8120: Added Global Beatsync Lines dropdown (16,32,64,128,192,256,512) for setting all 8 instruments + selected sample to Beatsync x mode.

2025-12-01 - Improvement: Groovebox 8120: SequentialLoad now correctly adds the *Instr. Macros device to the tracks that are Sequentially Loaded.

2025-12-04 - Improvement: Sononym Linux version path detection for query.json has been improved with failsafes for "if hardcoded link didn't work" -> it'll then consider the appPath and try to find query.json in another way. Hopefully this helps.

2025-12-04 - Feature: Pattern Sequencer: Delete All Above / Delete All Below / Delete All Above & Below - this will work with current Pattern, or a selection of Patterns in the Pattern Sequencer.

2025-12-07 - Improvement: "Keep Sequence Sorted" was automatically set to Off by default in Paketti. no longer.

2025-12-07 - Improvement: Improvement: "Keep Sequence Sorted" introduced into Paketti Preferences with a dropdown menu for "Do Nothing" / "Set to On" / "Set to Off"

2025-12-11 - Feature: Create New Instrument from Sample Range and retain slices - this will duplicate the current sample range selection, all it's settings + slices, and recreate the slices to the new sample buffer / instrument, then apply the Slice settings.

2025-12-11 - Improvement: Added "RX2 to .OT+.WAV" & ".OT to WAV Cue Header" export entries to File -> Paketti Export for easier discoverability

2025-12-12 - Feature: Single-shot shortcut that 1. creates a new track (navigates to it) 2. creates a new instrument (navigates to it), 3. opens sample recorder 4. starts sampling.. and when you 5. press the shortcut again, it stops sampling, and sets the track volume to -30.0dB so you can slowly start triggering the sample and increasing the volume. it also adds the paketti loader settings to the mix.

2025-12-14 - Improvement: Quick Sample to New Track & Instrument (Toggle) now has additional features - turns pattern sync Off, or follows pattern sync - and when turning pattern sync recording off, adds C-4 instrumentname and 0G01 to effect column automatically, allowing for multiple long-form recordings to be played.

2025-12-15 - Feature: Pattern Name Loop - this triggers Sequence Selection Loops using the [ and ] format, so if you want to loop [] single pattern, that's what gets looped, if you have a multiple bunch of patterns, start with [ in the name and finish with ] in the name somewhere else.

2025-12-17 - Improvement: Fixed a few free-running observables that might result in Renoise slowing down during Paketti usage - this should improve performance measurably. Also the groundwork for being able to disable any menu entry, or keybinding or midimappings, has been laid down.

2025-12-18 - Improvement: StemSlicer has been updated to recognize, if there's a numberBPM in the folder that has been picked for StemSlicing - and it'll set the dialog's Slicing BPM value to the value specified in the folder structure.

2025-12-18 - Feature: Paketti Stem Loader - this will take the stems you provide it, and create new tracks, rename the new tracks accordingly, load the instruments in pakettified, introduce *Instr. Macros devices for each track, and read the BPM from the Wavefile header, or read the BPM from the folder the files are in, then calculate the length of the samples, and add the correct amount of patterns to the pattern sequence, and print, automatically, C-4 (instrumentnumber) 0G01 to every track that has been created, and enable Autoseek for each of the tracks.

2025-12-19 - Improvement: for "Digitakt Export with equal length slices based on longest slice" & Octatrack feature - i've added .WAV Cue Header writing for the slices - so that the slices will be written to the wav cue header + and to the .ot file.

2025-12-19 - Feature: Digitakt Export with Equal Length Slices based on Shorter Slice implemented - same as with "Longest Slice" but each of the longer-than-the-shortest audio gets faded out to evade clicks.

2025-12-19 - Feature: Octatrack Export with Equal Length Slices based on Shortest Slice - .OT format + wav cue headers.

2025-12-19 - Paketti Stem Loader has been updated to do the "Slices per pattern", i.e. when loading stems, the correct amount of patterns will be created, and each pattern will trigger a slice on the first row. And corrected so that if the last slice in the stem is actually not completely full - it'll still correctly line up.

2025-12-20 - Improvement: Paketti Stem Loader now has shortcuts for randomizing the slice triggers, either by every row, 2nd row, 4th row, 8th row or 16th row.

2025-12-21 - Improvement: Paketti Stem Slice Randomizer Dialog for slicing independently (every stem instrument will have a separate slice), or synchronized (all stems follow the same slice - or, portion of the song).

2026-01-27 - Improvement: I've taken what's in Paketti Clipboard work, and contributed them to the Renoise-CopyPaste repository, just so the research is there, too. This was another one of those projects which I agreed to support and assist in, a while back. Good to keep the same knowledge around in multiple places.

2026-01-27 - Improvement: Automation Clipboard is now fully integrated into the Advanced Automation Curve dialog, you can directly use cmd-x cmd-c cmd-v

2026-01-27 - Improvement: Tweaked the Paketti About / Donations dialog into a three column system to better show the donations, in an optimized way.

2026-01-31 - Update: I've been reverse-engineering the Renoise Instrument, Renoise Song, Renoise Track DSP Device Presets, Renoise Device Chains and Renoise Midi Mappings formats to write better documentation for them, in order to be able to make even cooler stuf

2026-01-31 - Feature: SF2 Sample Extract, added to

2026-01-31 - Feature: Default Midi Mapping File. -added to Paketti Preferences. Set up your Default Midi Mapping File (XRNM) - use a shortcut, menu entry or midi mapping to load it to any song (append mode) - and another shortcut, menu entry or midi mapping, to save it.

2026-02-01 - Feature: Select Next Instrument & Select Previous Instrument. When using Prev Instrument - it wraps from first to last. When using Next Instrument, if at the last instrument.. It creates some more Instruments and selects them.

2026-02-02 - Improvement: Paketti Default XRNI instrument will now correctly work with XRNI instruments that are outside of the Presets folder within the tool.

2026-02-03 - Feature: Follow Page Pattern Toggle - this allows you to "be on the same page" as the song playback. It's not the same thing as Follow Pattern.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Linked EditStep & Quantization Controls. Sets both EditStep and Record Quantization simultaneously. Includes direct value setting (0-32), +1/-1 increment, and power-of-two jumps.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Dynamic Quick Jumps / Pattern Fractions. Jump cursor to fractional positions within a pattern (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 etc). Automatically saves cursor position before jumping so you can jump back.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Jump Back to Previous Position. After jumping anywhere (fraction jumps, navigation), jump back to where you were. Works as a toggle: jump back, then jump forward again. Remembers sequence and line position.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Move Section Loop Next/Previous. Moves the entire loop range to the next or previous section in the pattern sequencer. Different from the existing Section Loop (Next/Previous) which expands the loop range.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Note Off on All Columns in Group. Writes Note Off (OFF) on the current line across all note columns for all tracks within the selected group. Useful for silencing an entire group at once.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Mute Playing Note. At the current cursor position, writes a Note Off to silence whatever note is currently ringing in that column.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Clone Sequence Without Automation. Clones the current sequence/pattern but strips all automation data from the clone. Useful when you want to reuse note data but start fresh with automation.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Wipe Drumkit Sample FX Assignments. Resets all sample effect column assignments across all samples in the current drumkit instrument. Quick cleanup shortcut.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Invert Specific Subcolumns Only. Inverts only the specified subcolumn (volume, panning, delay, or sample FX) within a selection, instead of inverting everything at once.

2026-02-09 - Feature: BPM Switcher. Opens a dialog to write a ZTxx (Set Tempo) command on the Master Track at the current cursor line. Quick way to insert BPM changes into patterns.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Mute/Solo via 0L00 Track Volume Commands. Writes 0Lxx effect commands into the pattern for pattern-level muting and soloing. 0L00 = mute, 0L80 = unmute. Solo writes 0L00 on all other tracks.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Step Sequencer FX Randomizer. Full dialog with up to 64 step checkboxes, FX command dropdown, min/max value sliders, quick-select buttons (None, All, Every 2nd/3rd/4th/8th), shift buttons, step count presets, and options. Randomizes effect values on checked steps and writes them to the pattern.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Interpolate Current Subcolumn. One-key interpolation that auto-detects which subcolumn the cursor is on (Volume, Panning, Delay, Sample FX, or Effect Column) and runs the appropriate interpolation on the selection. Also added new Effect Column Interpolation for track effect columns.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Fill Effect Column Between Notes. Scans the pattern for note positions and copies each note's effect column command downward through all empty rows until the next note. Only fills empty rows. Also includes a version for sample effect columns.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Play Next/Previous Note Line. Scans forward (or backward) from the current cursor position to find the next line containing a note, jumps the cursor there, and triggers playback of that line. Wraps around the pattern.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Clever Note Off - Wipe & Replace. Wipes ALL existing Note Offs in the track, then applies Clever Note Off with the chosen placement mode (Right After, Right Before, Half Before). Clean slate approach to note-off placement.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Clever Note Off - Delay Adjustment. Adjusts the delay value on ALL Note Offs in the track by a specified amount. Auto-enables the delay column if not visible. Fine-tune when note-offs actually trigger.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Clever Note Off - Reset Delay. Resets the delay value to 0 on ALL Note Offs in the track.

2026-02-09 - Improvement: Mix+Paste Redundancy Removal. Removed ~400 lines of redundant old mix-paste code from PakettiExperimental_Verify.lua. The comprehensive PakettiClipboard.lua system (10 clipboard slots, multi-track, phrase editor support) already covers this fully.

2026-02-09 - Feature: OctaMED Note Echo - Echo to Next Track / Next Note Column / Optional Echo Instrument. Rewrote the Note Echo dialog with three echo target modes: Same Column (original), Next Note Column (auto-expands visible columns), or Next Track. Added Echo Instrument option to use a different instrument for echoes (e.g. a 100% wet reverb version). All settings persist in preferences.

2026-02-09 - Improvement: Mix+Paste Redundancy Removal. Removed ~400 lines of redundant old mix-paste code from PakettiExperimental_Verify.lua. The comprehensive PakettiClipboard.lua system (10 clipboard slots, multi-track, phrase editor support) already covers this fully.

2026-02-09 - Fix: Duplicate Keybinding Crash. Fixed duplicate keybinding "Global:Paketti:Section Loop (Next/Previous)" that prevented Renoise from loading. Renamed new keybindings to "Move Section Loop (Next/Previous)".

2026-02-09 - Fix: EditStep & Quantization Preserves Quantize State. Fixed PakettiSetEditStepAndQuantization() forcing quantize enabled when changing values. Now saves and restores the record_quantize_enabled state so changing EditStep/Quantization values no longer toggles quantize on/off. Status bar shows enabled state: EditStep: 8, Quantize: 8 (On) or (Off).

2026-02-09 - Fix: Nudge with Delay Makes Delay Column Visible for All Selected Tracks. nudge_with_delay() now sets delay_column_visible = true for ALL tracks in the selection, not just the currently selected track.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Exponential Interpolation. Added exponential interpolation (t^2 curve: slow start, fast end) for all column types. Complements the existing linear interpolation. Works on Volume, Panning, Delay, Sample FX, and Effect Columns. Includes unified auto-detect function that reads cursor subcolumn position.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Jump to Pattern Position Dialog. Dialog with offset valuebox (-512 to +512) to jump forward/backward within the current pattern. Quick jump buttons (-64, -32, -16, +16, +32, +64), Go to Start/End/Middle. Saves cursor position for Jump Back feature.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Split and Expand Pattern for >256 Rows. When expanding a pattern that would exceed 512 lines (pattern has >256 rows), the function now splits into two patterns instead of refusing. First half and second half are each expanded into separate patterns, named "(1/2)" and "(2/2)". LPB is doubled. Example: a 512-line pattern becomes two 512-line expanded patterns.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Remove Unused Note Columns. Scans ALL patterns in the sequence, finds the highest actually-used note column per track, and reduces visible_note_columns to match (minimum 1). Cleans up tracks with excess empty columns.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Remove Unused Effect Columns. Same as above but for effect columns. Works on sequencer, master, and send tracks.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Remove Unused Columns (Note + Effect). Runs both unused note column and unused effect column removal at once.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Clear Unreferenced Patterns. Clears content of patterns not referenced by any sequence entry. Frees up pattern data without removing pattern slots.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Contract Section Loop (Remove Last Section). Shrinks the current section loop by removing the last section from the loop range. If only one section remains, clears the loop entirely. The subtraction counterpart to expanding the section loop.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Contract Section Loop (Remove First Section). Shrinks the current section loop by removing the first section from the loop range. If only one section remains, clears the loop entirely. The subtraction counterpart to expanding the section loop.

2026-02-09 - Improvement: Direction-Aware Sequence Selection (Next/Previous). Rewrote Sequence Selection to be direction-aware. Next expands the selection forward one sequence at a time, Previous contracts from the end. At a single position, Previous clears, then re-selects, then expands backward. Cursor follows the expanding/contracting edge. Tracks anchor point and direction so contracting always undoes the last expansion.

2026-02-09 - Improvement: Direction-Aware Sequence Loop Selection (Next/Previous). Rewrote Sequence Loop Selection with the same direction-aware behavior as Sequence Selection but for the loop range. Next expands loop forward, Previous contracts from end, clears at single, re-selects, then expands backward. Cursor follows the edge.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Section Sequence Selection (Next/Previous). Direction-aware section-level selection. Each press adds or removes an entire section from the sequencer selection range. First press selects entire current section. Next expands to include next section. Previous contracts by removing the last section, clears at single, re-selects, then expands backward. Cursor moves to the boundary.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Schedule Entire Section. New variant of "Select, Add to Schedule and Loop" that schedules ALL sequences in a section, not just the first pattern. Useful for completing playback of an entire section before switching to the next. Available for sections 00-64.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Shift Selection Left/Right in Sample Editor. Moves the current sample buffer selection left or right by exactly its own length. Useful for stepping through a sample in fixed-size chunks, e.g. selecting one bar then shifting to the next bar.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Rotate Audio in Selection. Rotates the audio data within the current sample buffer selection by its midpoint — the second half becomes the first half and vice versa. Operates on all channels. Useful for creating variations or shifting rhythmic content within a selection.

2026-02-09 - Feature: Select Bars in Sample Editor (1/2/4/8 Bars). Selects a musical-length portion of the sample based on the current song BPM and sample rate. Calculates the exact number of frames for the requested number of bars and sets the selection starting from the current selection start (or frame 1). Available in 1, 2, 4, and 8 bar variants.

2026-02-10 - Fix: MetaSynth Quick Apply Profile Crash on Pitch AHDSR. Fixed a crash when applying MetaSynth profiles that include pitch AHDSR envelopes. The code was trying to set an amplitude property that doesn't exist on AHDSR devices (it only exists on LFO devices). AHDSR envelope shape is fully defined by its Attack/Hold/Duration/Sustain/Release parameters.

2026-02-10 - Fix: Device Chain & Instrument Dialog Crash on Reopen. Fixed a crash when reopening the Device Chain & Instrument dialog. The ViewBuilder was created once at module level and reused across dialog opens, causing a "view ID already registered" error on the second open. ViewBuilder is now recreated fresh each time the dialog opens.

2026-02-17 - Feature: Batch Convert RX2 to XRNI. Select a folder of RX2 loop files and an output folder — Paketti converts each RX2 into a fully slice-marked Renoise instrument (.xrni), one file per RX2. Uses the bundled rex2decoder binary to extract WAV audio and slice marker positions, loads each into a fresh instrument slot, applies up to 255 slice markers, saves the XRNI, then removes the temporary instrument and cleans up temp files. Reports success/fail counts at the end. Fully protected against missing decoder, missing output, empty folders, failed WAV loads, and save errors — failed files are skipped and logged to the console without aborting the batch.

2026-02-19 - Fix: Auto-Samplify now correctly handles sliced samples. Previously, running Auto-Samplify on an instrument containing a sample with slice markers would crash with "copy_from is not allowed for sliced samples". The fix detects both slice alias sub-samples and parent samples that own slice markers, routes them through a manual buffer copy instead, and preserves all slice marker positions in the destination sample.

2026-02-19 - Improvement: Batch Convert SF2 to XRNI (Per Preset) is now also accessible from Main Menu → File → Paketti Export in addition to the Sample Editor context menu, making it easier to find without having to be in the Sample Editor first.

2026-02-19 - Fix: Phrase Follow Pattern Playback crashed Renoise on boot when the preference was saved as enabled. The feature's initialization code was executing at file-load time, where renoise.song() returns nil. Fixed by deferring the call through app_new_document_observable so it only runs after a song is fully loaded and ready.

2026-02-23 - Fix: Slice Rough crashed with "invalid slice sample_position index '0'"

Slicing a sample via Paketti's Rough slicer would sometimes crash Renoise with std::logic_error: invalid slice sample_position index '0'. Two root causes in slicerough() (PakettiSamples.lua): a duplicate insert_slice_marker(1) call that attempted to place a marker at position 0, and slice marker positions calculated as tw * i that could round down to 0 on small samples. Fixed by removing the duplicate insert and clamping all slice marker positions to a minimum of 1.
