used it once on a collab with apricorn/disposal/seeami, it was kinda cool. i just can't shake the feeling of writing in an environment which feels like it should be writing chiptune music, when i'm actually writing non-chip stuff. feels weird.

I wish it had an on-board sound generator though, for now I typically import samples I've created in sunvox or lsdj. At least it's made me more creative at sampling different things, like pen-clicks and typewriter taps and whatnot.
While it's a shame that Renoise doesn't automatically have that functionality built in, there's an officially supported Tool that adds a pretty good waveform generator that at least matches the one built into the likes of Milkytracker.

Uh, guys? It does have an onboard sound generator.
Sample Editor - Draw Sample. Now you're basically in Milky/Fasttracker territory.

I'm not very in-tune with the supplementary plug-ins (or the Renoise community at all for that matter), I'll have to try that tool soon!
As far as drawing samples, I haven't really ventured into that realm, but it seems as though I might soon. 
I kind of bought the software and then secluded myself from the world, sampling different instruments and what-have-you in the depths of my room, leading to odd sample-only tracks, such as this: http://soundcloud.com/myriadviolets/adv … -mountains

I love it. This has been my setup for 2012.

Renoise + Chipsounds really is the ultimate modern chip composing solution, IMO

as i said in the other thread 
people have been making chiptunes in sample trackers for more than twenty years without vsts, and it sounds better than magical8bitplug anyway. i don't think you need vsts~ i certainly don't

Agreed! Renoise is ace and as far as making chipmusic with it, VSTs are definitely not neccesary, plus it's a lot more fun if you don't use them.

Using Renoise + Vsts to make chipmusic is like killing flies with bazookas.

I use Renoise for writing soundtracks for my buddy's green screen vids. It's nice because I can just record myself playing in realtime via a midi interface...the hard part is putting together the sample maps and whatnot. I especially like the built-in dsps.
I haven't much messed with vsts yet...I have a ton of samples I recorded myself from Casio/Yamaha keyboards, so I don't really need them. But I think it'd be fun to play with a few, such as a nice Mellotron vst.

Wow, that's really freaking cool. Great work!

I just got Renoise, moving up from Milkytracker, and so far I absolutely love it. I dabbled around in the likes of FL Studio for a little while but the setup is stupid - piano rolls and step sequencing, bleh. A DAW with a tracker interface and some really, really nice workflow ideas is a much better, much more usable option in my opinion.
Anyways, assuming you use Renoise, why not share your favorite techniques for making chip-style music? Your favorite tools/scripts? Or even just pop in to say you love such and such artist for using the program as well.
You should buy the chip tune 1 vst insturment by she, works greate with renoise. its 5$

I totally get it if you want to play live, but if you're not playing live then doesn't using a step sequencer in Renoise sort of null the whole point of the tracker interface? The Launchpad is awesome, but I can't see it being too useful outside of a live environment.
