Renoise

Modular tracker-based digital audio workstation.

Visit Renoise

Renoise is a multi-platform digital audio workstation that uses a music-tracker approach to record, compose, edit, process and render audio. It is designed as an expandable production environment, with the tracker pattern editor at the center of the workflow.

The current Renoise 3.5 release includes a Phrase Scripting Engine, a Splitter Effect Device, microtuning support, and Ableton Link start/stop. It supports VST and AU plugin formats. A related product, Redux 1.4, is a sample-based instrument with a phrase sequencer, available as a VST3 plugin with MIDI output to host.

Renoise is offered as a perpetual license covering versions 3.5.4 through 4.5.4, with local VAT added to the listed price. Redux is packaged the same way, covering versions 1.4.4 through 2.4.4.
