FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Berlin, May 27th, 2009 - Hot on the heels of glowing praise for
Renoise 2.0 by Computer Music magazine (issue #138, may 2009), the
new Renoise 2.1 seemlessly integrates with other DAWs & Audio Tools
by introducing ReWire support on OSX/Windows and Jack Transport on
Linux.

Along side VST/VSTi, Audio Unit and LADSPA plug-in support; with
native Windows, Macintosh and Linux versions available; Renoise 2.1
is one of the most versatile music sequencers on the scene, like a
hex machine.

So affordable, why wouldn't you integrate it into your workflow?

ABOUT RENOISE:

A unique approach when compared with mainstream music sequencers,
Renoise’s streamlined workflow delivers professional results. Renoise
2.1 is a complete music production environment with support for FX
and instrument plug-ins, automatic plug-in delay compensation, multi-
core load balancing, MIDI i/o, audio recording, flexible audio
output, parameter automation, and much more.

Renoise is a mod tracker. If you’ve never used a tracker before,
don’t be put off by the machine-code-like appearance of the main
editing screen. Ultimately, it’s just a display of simple note and
effects information that is easily understood and, for the proficient
user, makes the creation of music far quicker than is possible in
traditional sequencers.

Why spend hours cobbling beats together with a mouse when you can do
it in seconds with a few keystrokes? Whether you’re an audio veteran
or just starting out, Renoise is the perfect complement for anyone
looking for something new.

CHANGELOG:

With over a month of beta testing behind it, Renoise 2.1 is now ready
to go.

+ Full ReWire Slave & Master support (on Windows & OSX)

ReWire allows you to connect and synchronize multiple software
applications, so that you can run them side by side while passing
Audio/MIDI information between them.

For example, you could connect Renoise to Logic, program your drums
in Renoise, while arranging the bulk of your song in Logic. Or you
could connect both Reason and Ableton Live to Renoise, arrange your
track in Renoise, control Reason's built-in synthesizers, and play
around with loops in Live. All it takes is some ReWire enabled
software and you are good to go.

ReWire has two modes, both of which are fully supported by Renoise:
*ReWire Master* (ReWire Mixer) and *ReWire Slave* (ReWire Synth)

+ Jack Transport Support (Linux only)

Similar to ReWire, Renoise now supports the Jack transport protocol.
Jack transport allows Linux users to start, stop and reposition
multiple audio programs, all connected/running through Jack.

+ New Pattern Sequencer Features:

- Decoupled Sequencer Playback Now Possible:

This new feature allows the user to detach the current playback
position from the edit position. This lets you edit a pattern while
other patterns are playing.

- Live Pattern Triggering:

Patterns can now be "scheduled" for playback via a new column in the
Pattern Sequencer. Without stopping playback you can now trigger new
sequences in the song "in real time".

+ New meta devices (Modulation / Automation Device fun):

- *Hydra Device: Automate/change/broadcast multiple FX parameters
with a single parameter. Think of this as a magic slider, which
connects itself to up to 9 other parameters - allowing you to change
multiple settings with just one slider or automation.

- *Keytracking Device: Modulates parameters depending on an
instruments key (note) value. Like what the "*Velocity Device" does
with Velocities, the Keytracking device does with Keys/Notes.

- *MIDI Control Device This device replaces the old "MIDI-CC Device",
finally offering Pitchbend, Channel Pressure, Program Change &
regular controller (CC) in a single device.
