Feedback & Suggestions / Re: Renoise Modules
« on: March 17, 2008, 00:58:09 »1 Renoise is closed format. It's propriatory format for it's own tracker.Not that i want to change your thoughts about anything, but i feel the need to update you on a few things...:
2 There are no 3rd party standalone players that I am aware of for the format.
3 Lack of the above means we (that is, the crew who do screening, including myself) cannot screen modules, I personally do not intend on having to either buy, install and/and purchase renoise itself, or the Windows operating system to run Renoise on in order to facilitiate this myself, let alone other crew members.
1: false:already since Renoise 1.8, xrns is a zipped archive containing an XML file which is an open format and all samples seperately extractable in a sub-folder.
2: 3rd party problem / decision, that they don't exists does not mean there is no need for or maybe there is no other for a very considerable reason: if you still think that xrns is a closed format, how many others might still making the same wrong assumption?
3 A) Renoise demo is fully functional once installed (no trial limits), you only lack ASIO and .wav export, this has never changed. To explore the format itself a developer would get everything he needs without having to purchase it. B) Renoise also runs on Linux since 1.9.1. Even the demo-beta is open to unregistered audience which is pretty unique for the ordinary release routine applied to Renoise updates (by default Beta for registered users only).
