Yes, you keep me busy, but I enjoy that. This ensures the development follows the real demand, instead of adding features that I think you would need...

thats good, and a mute for the notes in the phrase editor, i think usefull too. maybe this can add easy in the note menu and because midi notes are range from 0-127 you can use the free bit to store mute on or off status of every note, without the need to add a new storage byte.

RapidComposer v3.4b8 is available!

Thank you for your patience! Here is the latest update.
There is not much time until the release of v3.4, so please try this version.
All reported bugs were fixed, except for the "VST plug-in crashing with DP9.5 on macOS", which is still being investigated.

Changes:

Specify default chord voicing for tracks and chord voicing for phrases which override track chord voicing. Define custom chord voicing.
Chord Builder has a voicing editor in the Chord Selector
Chord voicing editor integrated into Quick Suggestions
It is possible to set a voicing for master track chords (although not suggested, specify voicing per track/phrase)
21 chord voicing files (.rcVOIC) included
'Extension' was removed from the Chord Generator - specify voicing for the phrase instead
New setting: "Base Octave": set the displayed name of MIDI note 60 (C3, C4 or C5)
New setting: "Convert drum notes when changing drum map". It is off by default.
New setting: "Quick Suggestions Placement". You can open the chord suggestion on the right side of the chord box
Chord naming improved for chords not in the library (e.g. "R-2-b3-5-b7")
You can enable Markov Melody Generator and Auto Scale in the settings under "Experimental Stuff". They are disabled by default.
Alt-clicking over the master track (to split or join chords) does not open Quick Suggestions
Fixed: New Composition resets looping points and playback position, zoom
Fixed "Lock To Scale" when used with chords containing more than 3 notes
Fixed: Velocity did not work on phrases
Fixed a sorting issue in the browsers
Fix MIDI Import when the Join Percussion Tracks option is used
Fix phrase generator length when dragging
Several problems with zooming tracks fixed
macOS: terminal output during loading the phrases slowed things down
Minor fix in Ostinato generator
Stability fixes

Thanks for working to get this fixed and working. I really hope you do before v3.4 is released, so I can use the VST RC in my DAW which is DP 9.51.

Thank you, Attila. Everything is very interesting.
But the "Quick suggestions" on the master track do not work at all.
Thank you .

Am I misunderstanding how "render phrase with variations and voicing" is intended to be used?

padillac wrote:Hi, "render with variations" doesn't seem to work with an octave transpose variation. Or at least, it doesn't do what I expect it to...

1. Create a phrase
2. Add a transpose phrase variation, set octave transpose to -1
3. It appears and sounds correct in the composition editor
4. Click the gear to show object actions pane, and click "render phrase with variations"
5. The notes are moved back up an octave

This problem still occurs with 3.4b8.

More specific steps:

1. Create a note at C4
2. Add a transpose variation, set octave transpose to -1
3. "Render phrase with variations and voicing"

Expected: The note is at C3
Actual: The note is at C4

Hi lulukom,
Really? It works here. Maybe you have set the following: "Do Not Show Quick Suggestions When Chord Selector Is Open"?
Thanks,
Attila

Yes, this is not easy. I already spent days with this bug. Restoring the composition and updating the UI happens asynchronously in RapidComposer, and this is a problem, because DP sends all sorts of commands to the RC plug-in in quick succession.
Thanks,
Attila

Hello Attila!
Thank you, but, apparently, I forgot where this switch is located?)

musicdevelopments · Post by **musicdevelopments** » Sat Dec 02, 2017 11:12 am

It can be found in the right top menu of Quick Suggestions:

Please close the chord selector and try to open the Quick Suggestions then.
Thanks,
Attila

Hello Attila!
The problem is that the "Quick Suggestions" do not open anywhere and never ..
Added song.

musicdevelopments · Post by **musicdevelopments** » Sat Dec 02, 2017 7:09 pm

I see. When I click on a chord it says "Please select a chord progression rule set...".
Why did not you do that?

You can click on the "Please select a chord progression rule set..." label to open the master track inspector.
It can't suggest chords if you did not set that.

It is not set when you import MIDI. Maybe that should be fixed.

lulukom · Post by **lulukom** » Sat Dec 02, 2017 7:15 pm

Thanks, I somehow did not see it .. Now I understand. Thanks again.

Thanks, Attila, for the DP update. Did MOTU change something in v9.5? I recall that earlier versions of the RC VST was working with earlier versions of DP 9. I really hope you can get this fixed and working again. Just got a new iMac i7 that would be able to better handle it than my prior aging iMac 2009 low end model did.

Can I see some screen shots of what you guys are doing?
