So I decided to use it for what it's good at and write the tools for the things I miss in my workflow. For more traditional recording I use reaper, which for the most parts work really well.

Renoise can locate the transients automatically, but I find I have to adjust them by hand afterwards. By default the individual hits are mapped to a chromatic scale. Then you get creative with the individual hits, triggering them to build a new rhythm. This can range from pretty conservative to extreme randomness. Some people like to start by putting the kick and snare where they should go, then fill in ghost notes and hihats afterwards. I tend to have a few goes on random monkey-style playing and then adjusting to something slightly more musical afterwards, since the other approach most of the times gives me something much to obvious and boring. The staccato is either done by small gaps in between notes or using renoises Cxx (cut) command. To give the often 40+ year old beat some snap and a firm low end, I often avoid using the kick from the beat but add my own, electronic kick and a snappy and crisp clap or snare. I seem to remember using tools that automates this, but I find it hard to get something musical from the ones I (think I) tried. The sound I have in my head is something a real drummer *almost* could play, given he had been using the appropriate drug and the engineer spilled the right amount of coffee in the tape-recorder. So it should be random the way a human tries to do random. You could say it's tedious, but after a while you get really, really fast at this in renoise, and you learn how certain patterns are done. But the first few times, I had a really hard time, it took ages and it sounded like complete crap, others might do better faster. Of course to some extend copy/paste and editing the copies is a pragmatic approach that might help on speed and a uniform sound throughout sections. Sorry if this got a little too long, but you asked :-) -- Atte http://atte.dk http://a773.dk

Not sure what the lineup would be, could be anything from traditional trio or quartet, to me and my home grown live setup. Hopefully something in between to keep the glitches and mix it with real people playing. -- Atte http://atte.dk http://a773.dk
