Render & Resample Parts of the Song
Quickly Rendering Parts of the Song
By using the Render Dialog in Renoise, you can already quickly and comfortably render the whole song as an audio file, or render only small parts of it in order to reuse them. This technique is called re-sampling or freezing, and can be used to either generate new samples and instruments, or to render down parts of the song which require a lot of CPU power.
To avoid opening up the render dialog, then rendering and reloading the wav file again and again, Renoise offers a shortcut which automates all of this for you. To do this, select one or more lines within the Pattern Editor, then right click on the Pattern Editor and select "Render Selection To Sample..." from the context menu. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut "Control/Command + Alt + Shift + R". The newly created sample will be loaded into the next free instrument slot.
Here is a small video demonstrating the shortcut:
If you want to create sample-based instruments from plugin instruments, you can also use a dedicated function in Renoise to do so. See Render or Freeze Plugin Instruments to Samples for more information.
