If, like me, you are trying to get your head around Renoise, there is a lot of info online to help. Here are some links to resources that I have found useful. Much of this is from the Renoise site…
This was probably the biggest help to me so far: The Quickstart page available from Renoise. Open these pages and open Renoise and recreate what you see in the examples. It’s chunked nicely so each section only take 10 – 15 minutes tops.
From within the Quickstart guide there are a couple of especially useful pages -
- Pattern Editor Examples
- Working with the Pattern Sequencer
- Pattern Effects Commands
- Keyboard Commands, Short cut keys (Mac/Windows/Linux)
A quick search of YouTube shows there are many, many videos available on Renoise. This video is an example (and is a great place to start). You’ll also find links to a bunch of other videos on this page.

Here is another tutorial. The guy moves too fast too follow in a number of spots. (The key commands are just second nature to him at this point.) Certainly gives an idea of how quick and efficient Renoise can be for getting ideas down. If you want a step-by-step breakdown of this, go here.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
