Routing Devices

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

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.

- Channel - The audio-source to use, for Directsound this will be your choosen primary in device, for ASIO, this depends on the audio card and it’s ASIO drivers.
- Input - Which channel specific is being selected (Left / Right or both) and the level meter that displays audio activity.
- Latency - Let Renoise know if the audio stream comes from a live audio source (guitar, vocals) or a Renoise triggered softsynth that is routed back into Renoise (MIDI Return mode).
- Panning - Which audio-channel to pan the total stream to.
- Volume - The amplification level to set the audio-stream to.

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.

- Mute source - The current track will not be heard during play when the send-track is being muted.
- 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 - Volume amount to mix (keep source) or to send (mute source) to the track .
- 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.
