Now I have a PWM synth by putting a saw wave through razor distortion at 100% drive and shifting its DC offset up and down to control its duty cycle.

@Bp103 have you considered... Eurorack?

(Both sarcastic, but also not sarcastic)

If you love figuring out tricks like this I think you would absolutely get the appeal of wiring individual units together in weird ways... But then at the same time would miss polyphony, and the less said about cost, the better. Maybe VCV Rack?

Renoise really has spoiled me. Hardware sequencers feel like toys next to it. Just needs some live performance features and it would be perfect.

@depthbuffer I thought about it quite a few times. I usually end up going the route of coding the synth myself though. it would be fun to have real eurorack, I just don't see myself realistically using it enough to justify owning one.

Also I fully agree, renoise needs more live performance features, that and a round robin mode for monopoly/multiple synths.

@Bp103 Planning to try out its OSC support in conjunction with TouchOSC. Got a Raspberry Pi with touchscreen, TouchOSC has Pi builds available (as does Renoise of course, but I'll probably take advantage of OSC over network to run it on a beefier host), already managed to get Renoise and my rig running in sync with a Keystep Pro as master clock.
Supports OSC messages for queuing up next sequence position, there's potential there... Just need the time to actually do it 🙃
@depthbuffer messing with OSC has been on my list of things to do for a while. I really want to make a fm synthesizer out of a esp32 microcontroller then it control it via OSC over network.
