Cool, fair enough. I really should pull my finger out and see if I can 
find my mojo again! Will probably start back with Renoise if I do but 
have always wanted to shape things towards a live set (laptop & 
controller based) and Renoise was never quite the right tool for that. 
Although with Duplex in 2.8 there were some tools that were going that 
way but I have no idea is 3.0 ha expanded on this or moved away...

What tools have you been writing yourself? Standalone bits of with the 
Renoise API?

Listened to the track now and afraid I have to be honest and say it's 
one of my least favourite of yours lately. I like the drums, the bass 
works nicely, even the cheap sounding e-piano fits in there. But 
personally I couldn't overly get on with the almost lead/chip noise (or 
however you would describe it) and it's too central to the tune to be 
able to ignore that element. But that's just one person's personal 
preference and I still liked most of the elements of the track.

Thanks for your latest reply describing your beat creating process. :)

Dale.
