Renoise

What works

-Installation

-Built in sampler and all other native built-in features (from what I can tell)

-Most VST plugins.

-Sound is reproduced as would be in windows as far as I can tell.

-Doesn't hijack pulseaudio like the linux native version (however that can be worked around in the linux version)

What does not

-One VST plugin did not work: Deep Monosynth (unsure why)

NOTE: Even on plugins that do work soundwise, there can sometimes be graphical glitches with the actual settings and knobs, however this in my experience was fairly minor and infrequent.

-On my first time booting up and loading a song there was a strange glitch where the keyboard inputs were not being read. However I have since then been unable to reproduce this glitch. Just something to look out for.

Workarounds

Additional Comments

Works surprisingly well, however not perfectly. For windows users you can potentially use Renoise without much problem if your workflow is VST plugin based. Would recommend doing your own testing because some plugins may not work, but honestly would probably recommend this over the native linux version simply for the fact that you can natively use VST plugins without any work arounds. That and your sound process doesn't get hijacked by renoise in Wine (as in, you can play sounds from other applications and renoise simultaneously).
