v3 Beta Feedback And Discussion (Bugs, Features, Suggestions)

[musicdevelopments]

the UI gets sluggish, then sometimes paints duplicate frames on the edges and then hangs. maybe a memory leak, at least that is what it seems like.. Meaning, the longer I worked, the worse it got over time.

Hi BluGenes,

Your analysis is 100% correct. I made a big mistake when attempting to optimize UI redrawing on Windows.

can you push an update through? I am curious to know if fixes other issues, which might be related to that..

Yes, why not... hold on...

[BluGenes]

awesome.. and also, I need to double check the rhythm bug.. I may have used the wrong size target notes, which would make what happens, happen..

RapidComposer v3.9b24 is available!

EDIT: macOS version is available now. This one is for Windows only as I have difficulties building the macOS version. Hopefully I can fix that tomorrow.

Improvements:

• New structure bar with direct access to scale/tempo/signature
• Fixed: setting new keyboard shortcut
• Fixed: some variations did not work well with "Lock To Scale"
• Variations are listed in alphabetical order
• [windows] Fixed UI redraw issues
• Crashing bug fixed when recording with the time pointer at the very end

Some nice improvements in v3.9b24. Thanks Attila!

I have a reliable crash here though:

Regen Phrase Crash 01.jpg

Crash happens immediately upon clicking the Regenerate! button.

I've zipped the composition file and posted it here to aid in reproduction.

[BluGenes]

I can't reproduce that.. will try some more though..

[BluGenes]

So, the ui seems to be improved quite a bit, performance wise. I recapped the bugs that havn't been addressed yet and found a new one. It might be related to sj1's bug as well... And the recording works great, except for the record button getting disabled at the end of the track..

Some nice improvements in v3.9b24. Thanks Attila!

Thank you! I want to add a much improved structure editor.
But first I will fix all bugs reported.

Thanks,
Attila

OK, this was interesting.. found an issue with the VSt drag and drop, but, also found that the regen issue not present in the browser preview like it is in the stand alone..

Hello Attila!
More about the new file browser ...
I tried to clean up the order in the Rapid Composer folder using the file browser, but not Finder. Moved one folder inside another - the program froze .. In general, such things do not work. (Then I made all the changes using Finder, as before, but the RC File Browser has not been updated. And I suggest to make the button "Refresh File Browser Data". Thanks .

And yes, maybe I don't know how to do this, but I would like to enable / disable (see / not see) sections in the new browser. For example, I don't want to see the Scale Section and the Chords Section all the time.But maybe I'll turn it on when needed) Thank .

And more about Track Templates .. In the Rapid Composer / Templates folder, all my templates are sorted into folders and it works well in Track Inspector. But these folders are not displayed in the Track Templates section in the new File Browser, besides, you cannot do any actions with templates here - neither delete / add, nor group into folders. Thank.

[yellukhan]

yay! no redraw problem anymore

Thank you Attila!

!!! Another unpleasant bug ... Or is it so conceived? ((
In the new File Browser, in the browser options, the folder selection is not saved and always returns to the Documents / Rapid Composer folder after rebooting.
