What I would really like to be added to the fx version is an option to trigger env, lfo & seq by audio events and add audio input follower as a modulator source.

Demis Hellen created a nice tutorial for designing a splitted trance sequence.

Some important core concepts for the creation of bigger layered presets are shown here.

Dividing the keyranges.
Deactivating keytracking for drums to use the arpeggiator as drum machine.
Keeping things organized by naming labels.
Using macros.

It's a good demonstration of how to use Rapid to quickly sketch an idea and save it as self contained preset for later use.

Something I've noticed with Rapid and needs sorting out (vetted), is the naming of preset patches which are provided. They are immature and offensive towards women. I mean, an arpeggiation patch called "Clean Up My Room Bitch". Created by Mirko Ruta.. Like seriously... what kind of message is Parawave trying to send here ? Because it certainly isn't a good one. It's not the only instance, there's a category of the arp presets with couple of X'ed out letters, which anyone with reading ability would interpret. I mean sure one can either rename or delete them, but that's kinda missing the point I'm making. I've no idea how many more instances like this that there might be in their preset packs but really... it's not a good look and it's not funny.

I've over 10,000 patches for Hive, none of them are like this.

I'm perfectly calm, why wouldn't I be...it's not like I'm swearing, and typing in block capital letters and to let you know, I've spent the past 20 years posting across a range of creative forums. I'm pointing something out that I think Parawave needs to address with the products assets that are provided.

If anyone wants my copy you can have an account takeover if you donate £50 to a charity of my choice. Cheers.

Sounds like someone believes those perjoratives are gender specific when they really haven't been for at least a couple of decades now...
I actually hate the word "namaste" and summarily rewrite it every time to "itnasty".
It really is simpler to "wear slippers instead of trying to carpet the world".

when i listen to rap and check the lyrics, oh my, i would have to stop listening to rap music mostly. maybe i should overthink what im listening to.

I don’t like the term “political correctness” because politics has nothing to do with it. It’s just about decency, plain and simple. Why use language that is bound to cause offence when it isn’t necessary? Why name a synth patch that way? Does anybody honestly believe that’s clever or funny? It isn’t either.

It comes down to whether you choose to wilfully cause offence or not. What reaction do you expect to naming a synth patch that way? Perhaps you could use racial slurs for a bass patch next time. That might get a cheap laugh.

While one can call a guy, "bitch," and I could see a frat guy saying that to one of his mates, it does have the implication of talking to a woman. Right up there with "make me a sandwich." They ought to rename it, if they care about their image.

yeah im not native english so this was the wrong term, sorry guys, i just wanted to mean you can always overreact to titles thats why i used the RAP genre as an example. i dunno is there a better word or naming to use instead of political correctness?

What rap music has done to reinforce a negative view toward women in those who listen to it has been significant. I wouldn't downplay it at all.

"Overthink," here, is a dismissive, thought-terminating cliché. It would be nice to never see that damn word in discussions ever again. Blech.

decency? maturity? manners?

It's not going to make me not buy Rapid, but the preset name is unfunny, immature and unnecessary.
