That is something that electronic music producers are going to find very useful.

To have every note in every sequence controlled to that micro level, including, note length, fx sends, filter values, tuning, pan, etc will be of a great benefit to the Ren.

Will continue investigating here to see what difference the other improvements make.

Even if you're new to step edit, don't overlook it: it's GREAT.
Liberates you from having to use your laptop for many little edits…there's a lot of stuff you can add here.
Notice that you can insert events for each midi note so you don't only have to go for the one default, empty "mod type / value" field entry.
This is something old MPC users will appreciate a lot.

Love the fact that the List Editor (Step Edit) has returned. I find that it is an improvement over the Step Edit feature found in hardware MPCs. Nudging notes from the hardware is really nice....

It was only yesterday I thought Ren needs this; I was working with a very noisy breakbeat I had played in for 8 bars, and it was quite a bit of work to stretch them all so that there wouldn't be either any dead air between the hits or overlapping of notes.
The legato function does just this.

Also, nudging notes via hardware is something I've been missing on the Ren a lot…this is one step closer to staying away from the laptop land for sure.

For such a minor update they should have added note on/one shot toggle in sample edit.

Cool additions that should have been there since 1.00.....This some bu||sh!t

I think you're talking about note length quantize vs. legato.

Everyone seen that the 1.6 update mentions november 2013 as release date.

peace

A feature I've been waiting for since 1.0. Unfortunately I can't confirm this, my software peak indicator still stays the same until I reset it by clicking...

Seconded. I dig it!

Yupp, says so in the release notes. But I've heard this instills "imminence"...

or the "before christmas" one?

and FANU.. very sick avatar.

Now that 1.6 is here, we can discuss the mystery of what the PPQ option is for in the Preferences; the List Editor.

When set to 96, the time position is displayed as 1:1:00 (Coarser nudging, by 010 increments)
When set to 960, the time position is displayed as 1:1:000 (Finer nudging, by 001 increments)

The sequencer still records at 960 either way.

Yeah Fanu, been going in hard on the step edit for the past hour and am very impressed at what can be done. Perfect for some very serious, and intricate, loop creation.

v1.6 300+ Enhancements? Are they serious?

did you guys notice the vst header is fixed!!!! nice!!!

The manual in 1.6 is still the 1.5 version. Not a word about the llist editor.
