Hello all groovy people –

I released my Renoise controls for the Steam Deck to Steam today as 'RenoiseDeck'. Not perfect, but pretty usable. Here's how:

– Left shoulder button = Edit on / off (Esc). Toggles entering notes. – D-pad = Arrow keys, move around. – (X) = delete. (A) = play / stop. (Y) and (B) = notes C and G for jamming, entering notes, previewing sounds etc.

– Left mousepad = 4 x 4 grid with a chromatic octave of notes starting at C on the top left. On top of of the 12 notes, there's the stopper (Caps Lock) and a couple of useful hex values. Right shoulder button shifts the grid to numbers and more hexes and effect command letters.

– Left hand back buttons: Top = F4 (Copy), Bottom = F5 (Paste). – Right hand back buttons: Top = Alt, Bottom = Ctrl. – Right shoulder button = Shift.

With these, you can: – Shift + arrows = make selection in the editor. – Alt + arrows = select instruments. – Ctrl + arrows = manipulate the pattern sequencer.

– Alt + copy / paste = Copy / paste selection in pattern. – Ctrl + copy / paste = Copy / paste pattern. – Shift + copy / paste = Copy / paste track.

One of the analog sticks acts as a slow mouse for precise control of sliders.

I was browsing for new games to enjoy on the lovely Deck. This one looked intriguing, but Steam is putting forth lots of warnings saying it's not supported on the Deck. Anybody out there having tried it?

I saw demos of Steam Input over the tubes and figured out I might be able to put together a mapping that makes Renoise the music tracker somewhat usable. I've had great success. Will be releasing the mapping on Steam as soon as I've seen it through some more iterations.
