Historically, Renoise’s sample editor was a beast, but 3.5 makes it surgical. The new "Transient Detection" algorithm is leagues ahead of 3.4. You can now automatically detect transients in a breakbeat loop, slice them, and map them to the keyboard with a single hotkey. For jungle, drum & bass, and hip-hop producers, this turns Renoise into a drum slicer that rivals Serato Sampler or ReCycle.
If you are upgrading from version 3.2 or 3.4, the jump to 3.5 feels substantial. Here are the headline features: renoise 3.5
On a technical level, Renoise 3.5 is a ghost. It loads in under two seconds on an M1 or M2 Mac (and under a second on a modern PC). The UI rendering has been rewritten to be smoother at high refresh rates (144Hz+). Furthermore, the long-requested "Dark Theme" is now default, with full customization of accent colors.
