Hello all groovy people –

I released my Renoise controls for the Steam Deck to Steam today as ‘RenoiseDeck’. Not perfect, but pretty usable. Here’s how:

– Left shoulder button = Edit on / off (Esc). Toggles entering notes. – D-pad = Arrow keys, move around. – (X) = delete. (A) = play / stop. (Y) and (B) = notes C and G for jamming, entering notes, previewing sounds etc.

– Left mousepad = 4 x 4 grid with a chromatic octave of notes starting at C on the top left. On top of of the 12 notes, there’s the stopper (Caps Lock) and a couple of useful hex values. Right shoulder button shifts the grid to numbers and more hexes and effect command letters.

– Left hand back buttons: Top = F4 (Copy), Bottom = F5 (Paste). – Right hand back buttons: Top = Alt, Bottom = Ctrl. – Right shoulder button = Shift.

With these, you can: – Shift + arrows = make selection in the editor. – Alt + arrows = select instruments. – Ctrl + arrows = manipulate the pattern sequencer.

– Alt + copy / paste = Copy / paste selection in pattern. – Ctrl + copy / paste = Copy / paste pattern. – Shift + copy / paste = Copy / paste track.

One of the analog sticks acts as a slow mouse for precise control of sliders.

    I assume this is used for music production?

      You assume correct. It wouldn’t be a bad tool for sequencing disco lights and pyrotechnics either, I’d imagine :D
