-The time correct settings of my projects do not save, (swing, shift note, etc.. all get reset after loading previous projects)

-Adding multiple vsts still usually makes the hardware crash or unusable from the lag

-still cant get mpc inputs to pick up audio through the digital in

-Resample doesnt seem to work

-When turning a song into a sequence I lost the effects I had put on pads/tracks

-Slices dissappear sometimes when moving start/end markers with q links

-Playhead in sampler lags, and playing chops lags sometimes

-My pads turn colors by themselves sometimes

-Only the stock vsts/plug-ins that came with the Ren allow me to choose presets from hardware(doesnt work with any native instruments or ik multimedia plug ins)

macbook pro i7

what up homey
To get the digital in to work, make sure inputs 3+4 are set as your active inputs in your preferences. Then, sometimes, you need to reseat your digital cable to get the meter to actually monitor the digital in.

Resample never shows up on the meter. I don't know if this was by design or not...

Effects automation was missing from 1.0, and is still missing in 1.1.

-When in sample mode, in trim, while scrolling my start point and holding down a pad the waveform the the computer screen begins to shake

You must be zoomed in for this to occur. This is not really a big deal...I find it purely cosmetic instead of a functional issue. Reported it.

That's by design. The meters are for external audio. The master level meter in the lower right corner will represent audio you are resampling.

effects were used globally on my main sample track

HP shelving filter
LP shelving filter
Reverb large 2

workaround:Write down all vaules,select a different effect and put the original effect back on inputting all your original vaules.

Comp specs in my SIG.I hope this is a valid bug report! JAH???



Soundsforsamplers told me about the new on/off button for effects which resolved my problem.Its in the track mixer,you'll see it in the insert boxes.I had no clue since no one mentioned it nor did i see it in the release notes.

Anyone else notice this?

This makes sense to me. DAWs also use key commands. Using key commands to control two apps could be chaotic.

When I chop a sample to a program, then go to program edit, select ALL for zones, and then select a filter -- the pads stop playing correctly. The only way to get around this is to rechop the sample again into a new program, because the old program (once you try to assign a filter to ALL) is bugged. Anyone experience this?

1. Chop sample into program
2. Create sequence with ^ program
3. Prog Edit
4. Edit Zones -> select ALL
5. Select a filter (ie, high 8 ), adjust cutoff
6. Samples are no longer playing correctly.

I just followed your steps exactly and can't produce it using 1.1 on Mac OSX 10.7.5. I recorded a video to show I can't produce this issue.

Do you have any additional info on how to produce this problem?

My system specs are in my signature.


this is tricky, because sometimes, in the program mixer, if you add an insert, it reroutes that sound to a submix, which bypasses the track channel you played it on.



For real? This sh*t is ridiculous... :(

This is not a bug and is working as designed; clearly explained in the manual. Please read the manual to understand how this function is designed to work.

Testing out more reported 1.1 issues:

adjust a q link, look at the value, let go of the knob and touch it again, it will increase or decrease by 1 in whichever direction you last touched it.
And qlink pad mutes are super delayed now...

Not seeing either of these two...

1. Assigned a 'highhar' sample to Pad A01
2. Recored note repeated high hats 1/32(3) for 2 bars
3. Entered Program Mix; press F3[Mute]
4. Press Play Start
5. Quickly tap Q1 to mute Pad A01
6. Entered Track Mix; press F3[Mute]
7. Quickly tap Q1 to mute Track 1

Results - Pad A01 and Track 1 mutes immediately. I don't experience any latency.

Effects record automation is not supported in 1.0 or 1.1. You can record automation for program params.

Recording via digital inputs and resampling is currently working.

Not all plugins will communicate with DAWs to display their presets. The Ren will displays the presents of those that do. Presets of Steinberg plugins will be displayed and selected from the Ren's hardware. Maschine behaves the same way. NI added code to their plugins and Maschine to integrate them better. But not all 3rd party plugin presets can be selected via Maschine's controller.

I just spent a while making this beat, it has about 4 or 5 vests in the project, 80 something bars long. When ever I export the volumes are mixed different and the pitches of my instruments have changed. I tried a couple times, no luck, mpc ren is warping my beat around whenever I mixdown the audio masters 1,2

I tried to reproduce every issue you have been posting....most of the times with no luck.

There is free screen capture software that you can record the issues you are experiencing. I suggest you do that so others can troubleshoot your issues or fix if it is an actual bug.
