RapidComposer v5 beta feedback and discussion

[lovemusic15]

The ability to add syncopation to custom phrases

[lovemusic15]

Having ability to analyse the imported rhythm and syncopation and save as an accent to recall whenever you need. with the option to regenerate rhythms only using the accents rests and syncopation from that preset

[lovemusic15]

Currently you can't recreate a similar syncopation or accent that you see in Rhythm mapper using rhythm lab. unless you manually draw in which is counterproductive.so my previous suggestions with solve that problem.

RapidComposer v5.0b8 is available!

Improvements:

• MIDI CC function generator fixed: function created for selected note duration when a note is selected
• Warning is displayed to the user before scanning for plug-ins
• [Windows] VST3 is installed as a file, rather than a folder
• [macOS] Fixed: MIDI to phrase conversion created wrong folder names

Nice welcome with the FX stuff.. however,

The scan does not find any FX, only instruments. Maybe add a new button just for FX scans and maybe use a tab on the plugin's page to separate, to better identify the difference.

I don't remember were all the VST stuff end's up when I install stuff, so, I had to go look for that info on the web, so that I could manually install FX. Maybe build a text file list for the user for future reference during a scan.

I did get a crash on the VST3 scan, but, I think that the screen I captured is actually wrong or late data, because the screen shot is showing Kontact, and I know that isn't a bad VST.



Just for the fun of it, I was able to add RC as an instrument, but, I never tried using it.



On start up of RC, you create the splash screen, then fade it in, but, it does not start out hidden, it shows as a black box then disappears, then fades in, which causes a flicker.

I did a screen capture and loaded that into a video editor to see what was going on. this is what I see:



Also, manual rhythm still has the same issue. My fault by not saying that the issue is when you use 1/4 notes. So, it places the next note in the wrong place still.

Yes, there are some problems with scanning VST 3...
Crash and report attached.

[lulukom]

Crash when choosing chords in a master track.

[lulukom]

Custom users texts fonts do not work, at least in the oft extension.

[lulukom]

The big inconvenience is that the mute button on the track only mutes the sound of the midi track but does not mute the playing internal sequencer of the VST instrument.

pretty much how it is.. from the perspective of RC, it only knows about the midi on it's tracks, so, what plays the midi has the audio, RC isn't generating audio.

If RC had audio routing, like a DAW, then you could..

[lulukom]

Yes you. are right !

[musicdevelopments]

Yes, this is exactly so, RC has no control over sound generation in plug-ins, other than sending MIDI events to the plug-in. Everything else can be done in the plug-in editor windows.

[lovemusic15]

Without the option of analyzing notes and being able to save them as accents how would I achieve these results with the rhythm lab ?

[lovemusic15]

I hit the regenerate button 37 times before It come up with something close but still not close enough.

[BluGenes]

ahh, just noticed this.. there isn't a "split selected notes at timeline" in the phrase editor..
