The record

What it does: Redux is a sample-based instrument combined with a phrase sequencer and full-featured MIDI implementation.
Tracker notation: Its tracker notation lets users trigger notes and control sample playback precisely.
MIDI output: Redux can send MIDI note events to the host so its tracker interface can trigger instruments in a DAW.
Sequencer: Its sequencer creates musical phrases controlled by notes and program-change events.
Effects and modulation: Redux includes DSP effects and a quasi-modular system that lets devices modulate one another.
Sample editing: The waveform editor can adjust volume, remove leading or trailing silence, apply effects, and slice samples; edits are saved with the preset.
Macro controls: Eight globally accessible macro controls can connect to multiple parameters and functions.
Import and recording: Redux has a built-in sample recorder and draw tool, supports drag-and-drop import, and understands common audio formats including SFZ multisamples.
Presets and libraries: Sections can save and recall presets, and content libraries can add effects, samples, and phrases by drag and drop.
Platforms and plugin formats: The download page lists Redux 1.4.4 demo downloads for 64-bit VST3 on Windows and Linux, and VST3 and AudioUnit on macOS with Intel and Apple Silicon support.
Host compatibility: The system requirements page says Redux runs in any DAW that supports VST3 or Audio Unit plugins.
Demo limit: The demo is otherwise fully functional but generates a subtle hiss.
Support: Renoise directs users to its manual and community forum, and says its team can help with remaining questions or technical issues.
Headquarters: Berlin, Germany
