WHAT IS RENOISE
With Renoise you create beats, melodies and loops efficiently step-by-step. It's a complete, expandable Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) with a refreshing twist. Renoise is based on mod trackers. Mod trackers are characterized by displaying and editing music in an easily understood grid known as a pattern. These patterns are akin to sheet music, but are displayed alphanumerically instead of with musical notation. Renoise is multi-platform; runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Pricing and Availability:
Renoise beta versions are exclusive to registered users. The price of Renoise remains the same: 58 Euro for any or all 3 platforms. Everyone who buys Renoise 2.8 before the final version, will get free upgrades up until and including version 3.8. More information:
