Renoise 2.0 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. With Renoise 2.0 a generation of oldschool trackers and contemporary musicians looking for something "different" have reason to celebrate. TRACK ON! --- http://www.renoise.com/
