@herr_prof: awesome. Loop Control control looks sweet. I had no idea it existed.

@Mrwimmer: I see what you mean about the limitations of renoise phrases. different groove and BPM per phrase isnt possible as far as I know.

I think I'll look into using Loop control along with these commands in phrases:

    ZTxx - Set tempo (BPM) (20 - FF, 00 = stop song)
   
    ZKxx - Set Ticks Per Line (TPL) (01 - 10).
   
    ZGxx - Toggle song Groove on/off (00 = turn off, 01 or higher = turn on).
   
    ZDxx - Delay (pause) pattern playback by xx lines.

    0Bxx - Play phrase backwards (xx = 00) or forwards (xx = 01).
   
    0Sxx - Trigger phrase from line xx.

Should be interesting. I should read the manual again.
Probably set renoise at 560BPM to make it playback at a fast speed like LGPT command per tick (instead of command per line) style tables.

LGPT Tables : Limited to 3 columns, but hop commands and groove manipulation mean you can do just about anything you want anyway.

Renoise Phrases: 12 note columns, 10 effect columns, but you're stuck dealing with LPB (which is only annoying if you're used to other PC trackers)

Just preference really.  I like tables better.

theres an app for that

With the exception of the play loop offset command in LGPT, is it possible to achieve all the things that can be achieved with LGPT's table structure within Renoise 3's phrases (using high BPM)?

I'm interested to find out peoples thoughts on "Renoise 3 phrases vs. LGPT tables".
