"Dropping a MIDI file over the track header will replace the track contents"
Does not replace the key/chord settings to what is provided by the dropped file...
Length is not set correctly.

Also
Dropping a midi file on the workspace (outside of the line graphic area) used to open the import dialog. Is this to be removed?

CRASH 17

Thanks, NTO for sending me the wrongly imported MIDI file! I found that there were multiple Note Off's for a Note On which was not handled well.

The dropped MIDI file does not change the master track chords and does not affect other tracks (length).
This is just a quick way to insert a MIDI clip into a track.

Note that you can drop a MIDI file on the master track to replace the chords. If you need to import the chords (with more control) and setting the length, it is better to use the MIDI Import page. I fixed the bug you mentioned so that the MIDI Import page opens when you drop a file over the empty workspace or track headers.

Thanks,
Attila

OMG, what happened?

One of them is new, it is because of the new timeline.
Thank you,

"...the wrongly imported MIDI file!"
Yes, thanks for your work there. Am now able to note edit that type clip, and move on...

"This is just a quick way to insert a MIDI clip into a track."
So I get this is a way to replace the notes in the track.
It seems the (longer than content) dropped clip is truncated to the existing length.
What if the existing content is longer than the dropped clip? Subsequent notes gone?(Assumed yes)
How are the notes in the dropped clip forced to conform to the existing chords? Not at all/transposed? Ditto - tempo?

The notes from the dropped clip are inserted as absolute notes, the tempo, chords are not affected.
When dropped on the track header, all notes are deleted from the track before insertion.
When dropped inside the track, the notes are added to existing notes in the track.
You can easily convert the notes to chord-relative (and optionally replace the master track chords) in the phrase inspector.

In the phrase generator, I changed the length in bits.

RapidComposer v3.5b16 is available!

Stability first! All crashing issues reported by lulukom are fixed in this update.

3.5Beta16 changes:

Dropping a MIDI file over the workspace opens the MIDI import page (again)
Stability fixes: crashing bugs fixed

Hello Attila!
I regret to inform you about the crash. Investigate the problem ..
And yet, I'm not sure, but it seems to me in the process of the RC work there is a leakage of serious RAM.
Thank you.

I know having the controllers saved in the phrases has a lot of issues, but if you could just get the controllers to move/copy with the midi file that was dropped in would be great. This way you are just using midi files rather than having them stored in RC as phrases.

"...a leakage of serious RAM."
Geek self-check
Wrote a script to
Get system memory size1
Loop 25 times
launch RC
exit RC
Get system memory size2

Subtract size2 from size1 = 0KB for both 32/64 bit under Win7

Thank you, lulukom, I'll investigate this!
I'll also check RAM usage.

I am afraid this is not suitable for testing memory leaks. When you quit the program, all allocated memory is freed. I think lulukom means that during using RC, some memory is not freed, and there is less and less free memory.

Thanks,
Attila

Actually, I made a mistake in my script. I was storing and reading total memory

, not available memory.
Correcting that indicates (not consistent number) after 25 executions...

(Operating system activity in here)
"... during using RC, some memory is not freed, and there is less and less free memory."
Action/sequence dependencies

EDIT:
Step 1 once, loops 2 through 4, then ends with stat display.
