Routing Devices

Routing devices route audio channels from one track to another, or even from Renoise to another application or vice versa.

#ReWire-In Device

File:Vvoois renoise routing rewire.png

When running Renoise as ReWire master, you can route other ReWire slave applications into Renoise by using this device. A ReWire slave can be another audio sequencer, but also a softsynth like VSampler or Kontakt. Once the device is selected and the application was opened, both programs time-lines will be synchronized - both programs will run perfectly in sync. MIDI inputs of ReWire devices will then, if available show up as regular devices in Renoises Instrument Properties so you can also automate and trigger the ReWire applications from Renoise.

Device: The ReWire slave that you would like to load into Renoise. After selecting a device here, many applications will be auto-started, like Reason. If they don't start automatically, then simply launch the program manually as usual. It should then launch up automatically as slave to Renoise.
Channel: When the device offers more than one audio channel, you can here select it. To route more than one channel from the same slave to Renoise, simply use multiple ReWire-In Devices with the same device.
Input: Which channel should be routed to Renoise (Left / Right or both). The level meter next to the buttons will show the current input levels.
Panning: Allows you to pan the input stream to the left or right.
Volume: Amplifies the input stream.

#Line-In Device

The line-in device can route inputs of your sound-card into Renoise, like from a microphone or line-in jack. This way you can for example hear your voice directly in Renoise, route back MIDI synthesizers that you are triggering with with Renoise, or can listen to your guitar you later on want to record in Renoise.

Channel: When your soundcard offers more than one input, you can choose a sub channel here. The recording device is set up in the Audio Preferences
Input: Which channel should be routed to Renoise (Left / Right or both). The level meter next to the buttons will show the current input levels.
Latency Let Renoise know where the audio stream comes from: live audio source (guitar, vocals) or a Renoise triggered synth that is routed back into Renoise (MIDI Return mode). Depending on the used sources, different latencies have to be applied or corrected.
Panning: Allows you to pan the input stream to the left or right.
Volume: Amplifies the input stream.

#Send Device

File:Vvoois renoise routing send.png

A send-device internally routs track outputs to send-tracks in Renoise. By routing more than one tracks to the same send-tracks, you can group multiple tracks, can apply the same FX on multiple tracks at once. Send tracks can again be routed into send tracks, so complex routing with endless possibilties are possible.

Mute/Keep source Mute Source: The signal gets muted after it was routed to the send track which means you can no longer control it in the given track anymore. Keep Source: The signal stys on the current track as usual, but also gets routed to the send track. See also the Mute/Keep source illustration below.
Amount: How much of the tracks signal should be sent to the send tracks.
Receiver:Select the send track you would like to send the audio to here.

-Renoise supports [[Renoise.ReWire |ReWire]] master and [[Renoise.ReWire |ReWire]] slave on Windows and Mac OSX. On Linux, Renoise uses an equivalent called Jack Transport. The ReWire routing device sets Renoise as a ReWire master and enslaves another ReWire host. This can be another audio sequencer, but this can also be a softsynth like VSampler or Kontakt. When you have slaved another audio application to Renoise, its Audio and MIDI channels will be announced so you have direct access to the other hosts’s audio-tracks and midi devices. Synchronization is included as well as PDC if it is necessary. How effective and complete ReWire works also depends on the flexibility of the other host supporting ReWire, please consult the ReWire compatability list for more info about what already has been discovered during the testing phase.

-The line-in device enables you to add a live audio-stream to your track.You can also perform realtime effects to the audio-stream which makes this device ideal for making your songs more dynamic when using Renoise for live events.

-The send-device offers you track-routing to send-tracks. By routing one or more tracks to send-tracks, you can apply certain effect-commands or DSP /VST effect combinations to all those tracks at once by configuring them in and underneath that particular send-track. The only thing for you to do left, is to route each track you want to apply the set of effects by adding a send-track device in those track’s effect-rack and then selecting the receiver (send-track) that contains the desired configured set of effects.
+A send-device internally routs track outputs to send-tracks in Renoise. By routing more than one tracks to the same send-tracks, you can group multiple tracks, can apply the same FX on multiple tracks at once. Send tracks can again be routed into send tracks, so complex routing with endless possibilties are possible.
-* '''Mute source''' - The current track will not be heard during play when the send-track is being muted.
+* '''Mute/Keep source''' Mute Source: The signal gets muted after it was routed to the send track which means you can no longer control it in the given track anymore. Keep Source: The signal stys on the current track as usual, but also gets routed to the send track. See also the Mute/Keep source illustration below.
-* '''Keep source''' - The current track will be played during playmode even if the send-track is muted. Though the configured effects will not be applied in this last case.
+* '''Amount:''' How much of the tracks signal should be sent to the send tracks.
-* '''Amount''' - Volume amount to mix (keep source) or to send (mute source) to the track .
+* '''Receiver:'''Select the send track you would like to send the audio to here.
-* '''Receiver''' - This is the '''name''' of the send-track you select to send the track-output through. The name can be changed just like any other trackname.
-Tip: You can configure a basic set of effects that you would like to apply to every track routed through a certain sendtrack and you can still configure additional effects in the individual track either in front of, or behind the send-track device. You have to set the “Keep source” option in that case to have your additional effects being applied for that particular track.
