This tool allows to use AKAI Fire FL Studio controller with Renoise tracker. It packs quite a lot of no-nonsense Renoise features to be available at your fingertips. Note: I made it for myself, so it may or may not suit your tracking style ;)
- Navigation in multiples of 16 steps
- No support for OLED display
- No support for multiple AKAI Fire controllers
- Something else I forgot :)
- Mode LEDs show beat position within pattern in binary format:
CHANNELtoggles every 1/16 of pattern,MIXERtoggles every 1/8,USER 1- every 1/4 andUSER 2- every 1/2. - Pad color in Note mode (or in Drum mode with
STEPheld) represents note (12 semitones of octave mapped to a hue); active notes (not stopped by note-offs) are showed in a dim color - Pad color in Drum mode represents track color
- Pad color in Performance mode represents track color
- Pad color in Overview mode: 1st row: current pattern, 3rd row: solo state, 4th row: mute state
