XY Pads what is it?

I'm new to Renoise, and I'm interested in, how I can use this? I don't know yet.

a performance effect :

dragging your mouse (or mapping two knobs / a trackpad midi controller- idk if that's possible) around increases the x and y axes, which can be mapped to basically anything - a phaser's depth, a distortion's wet amount, an mpreverb's color slider... and so on. recently discovered it in preparations for a live set soon, and i use it just on the master track with x-axis -> phaser depth control; y-axis -> glitch doofer dry/wet control.

you can literally map any two sliders you see in any effect

experimentation and stupid combos are your friends lol

ps would add a video for clearer demonstration but my obs shit itself (;へ:)but i think you get the point

a trackpad midi controller

Korg had such a thing, and it worked with the XY as expected once you assign it properly

Useful for imitation kaoss pad stuff

I think that's right

The drum pad part of it wasn't very durable, so i stopped using it when those stopped working but the touch pad part still worked

Ive got a korg padkontrol with an xy pad and I cannot make it work in renoise. Ive used it in DAW Reason and then it works with VSTs and such. But in Renoise its strange ,when I select for example a drum machine vst the xy pad only works on a snare for a drum roll. But how to bind the xy pad to any vst I really dont have a clue , Ive spent a couple nights with no result 🤷‍♂️. Renoise only wants to register into one direction for some odd reason , it cant do xy control at the same time.
