hello ! Can't figure this out. Embed bridged GUI does'nt work. Is it normall behavior to constantly have to click 'Bring Rapid Composer to top' after focusing arrange or mixer or plugin ?

Also, preview of chord only works if I play the project in Reaper, can it work on stop position ?

Hi Boone777!

When using the VST plug-in, the RapidComposer window behaves just like any other application. So it is not Reaper that displays the UI. You may want to try (if you haven't already) the "Make Window Always On Top" option under Settings / Miscellaneous / RapidComposer VST section.

I'll see what could be done with chord preview.

Thanks,
Attila

Yes that's what I needed !

The regenerate button does'nt always work. Currently it works with arpeggiated sequences or string staccato generator sequences (once in the arrange) it does'nt seem to always work on bass generator, melody or chords any reason for that ?




I don't have melody generator in my phrases window is there something I should check somewhere in the settings too ?

The 'Regenerate' button works only when there is randomness in the phrase, either in the rhythm part (e.g. when using a rhythm generator that uses randomness) or in the phrase generator.

Rhythm generators that do not have randomness: Manual Editing, Schillinger's Interference, Polyrhythm, Euclidean Rhythm, Simple Intervals, Toggle Intervals (The 'Regenerate Rhythm' button is not displayed for these)
Phrase generators that do not have randomness: Arpeggiator, Chord Generator, Dyads Run, Freehand & Line, Piano Run, I think that is all.

But when you use Arpeggiator with Subdivision, 'Regenerate' button will make a new phrase for each click, because Subdivision includes randomness.

Thanks,
Attila
