Where Is the Renoise Config Folder?
Renoise preferences, keybinds and scripts folder per OS.
Last updated
Renoise stores preferences, key mappings, themes and tool scripts in a versioned folder per OS, separate from songs and samples. Migrating studios means copying one numbered folder.
Version upgrades create fresh numbered folders instead of reusing old ones. Copy keybinds forward manually or relearn your tracker shortcuts.
Where Renoise stores this, by platform

~/.config/Renoise
Linux config tree with versioned subfolders. Scripts and themes travel with the folder copy.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Renoise settings?

Why did Renoise forget settings after updating?
