Renoise Scripting Editor And Terminal

The built-in Script Editor and Terminal can be opened by clicking "Scripting Terminal & Editor..." in the "Tools" menu. It allows you to:

• Create, view and edit Lua, text, and XML files.

• Evaluate scripts or commands in realtime using the Terminal.

• Watch any scripts output in the Terminal. For example: all "print"s and errors from scripts will be redirected here

Tips & Tricks

• To enter multiple lines in the terminal, end a line with a \ The terminal will then prompt for another line until you hit enter twice

• oprint(some_object) prints out info about a Lua class object: try for example oprint(renoise.song()) to see all properties and methods for song(). To list all available modules, try rprint(renoise) or rprint(_G)

• Take a look at the example tools in the 'Resource Scripts' node on the left for a detailed description of a tool script's layout

• If you just want to test out some code without writing a 'tool', create a new script file in the 'Scripts' folder and not in the 'Scripts/Tools' folder. Such Scripts can then be launched by hitting the 'Run Script' button or via 'Command + R'. A default file called 'TestPad.lua' should already be present which you can use for testing.

• The full Renoise API reference is included in the left tree view as well, in case you want to lookup something without leaving Renoise
