At the same time the wiki is retired.

Thanks,

Hi Attila
Thanks for th great, updated manual. I would llike to print it out to read and keep to use by my side when using RC but I have an issue/request - please can I have access to a copy in Word, Libreoffice or a similar format? Why?
1) It is over 180 pages long - I would like to edit it so only the bits I need are printed.
2) It is fomatted to USA Letter - I use A4 (waste of paper)
3) I have used the Adobe online service to convert to Word format but it creates a number of issues in conversion (many tables and blocks, odd formatting etc which requires hours to fix).
4) Index relates to the un-edited version - so would need to be udated if edited
5) I sometimes like to add my own notes in my printed manuals that I have collected from websites, forums or experience in use etc.

Thanks again
BB

Yes, of course I can send it to you in LibreOffice format.
I did not realize the pages were set to Letter format. (I did not expect that anyone prints it.)
I'll send a PM about it.

Thanks,
Attila

This is not a serious error, it means that the file selector initial directory could not be set. Probably it is displayed on Windows7 only. I don't know exactly why...

You are right

I fixed this bug today, thanks for reporting!
I updated the v4.03 build with this fix.

Thanks,
Attila

Apologies up front if this a complete noob question

I am using Rapid Composer V4.03 as a VST3 within my DAW (Presonus Studio One V5) but don't see the option shown in the manual to be able to scan my PC for VST instruments? This option is available in the standalone version but not the one from within my DAW

Hello everyone ! On my Mac, Phrase inspector / Convert to Relative Form / option "Replace master track chords" does not work for me. How are you ?

lulukom · Post by **lulukom** » Wed Dec 16, 2020 9:47 pm

Crash!
Chord selector / For chord progressions / Add to rules. Moreover, there is always a crash! Mac Os .

When using RC in your DAW, think of it as a "MIDI generator" like an arpeggiator. You want to feed the output of the RC track to a different track where your "sound generating" VST will be. All the VST hosting is in your DAW (when RC is run as a VST itself).

Thanks for the info and I do get that 'MIDI generator' aspect of the routing now. That said, it does seem to crash PreSonus Studio One V5 very frequently. This might be a Presonus issue rather than an RC issue of course. Any other Studio One users out there who can confirm if there are issues with RC and this DAW?

TBH I have not been using RC inside Studio One for many months (just by chance, and my tendency to "DAW hop"). A year ago I was having to problems using it there, but both programs have had major upgrades since. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

If you are referring to Studio One v5 or v5.1.1 (I’m on v5.1.1 build 61815), and the issue is with scanning for VST’s, please download the latest user manual and check out page 23 and pages 136 to 138 for information about VST Plug-ins and Plug-in Manager for scanning locations and blacklisted VST’s
As you may already know, Studio One will scan your VST locations at startup including any new plugin you’ve added. If any plug-in fails to start a notice appears next to its name in the startup message list and SO puts the plug-in in a blacklist and ignores from that point on. You can reset the blacklisted plug-in. Use the Plugin Manager to fix RC if it was blacklisted.
FYI, I have not had any crashes with RC and SO v5.1.1 so far.

i get sometimes crash when delete the the rc plugin in s1 5.1 or when play phrase in phrase editor. I can not reprodce it. it happen not often and randomly. I think this happen when you use sf2 sound of RC. best add only 1 instance of rapid composer in 1 track of s1. and create tracks in s1 that use rapid_composer as input and the input channel to the track of rc you need.

I notice only thing in RC use in S1. it is too small on my 4k monitor. I select 14 point font and set in windows font size to 175%. standalone size is good. change font size in rc in s1 does not work(delete plugin and restart. must be in standalone font make larger. but when i make larger, then standalone get too large. my guess is rc in S1 do not recognize the 175 % font setting in windows. in standalone it does

Hi Attila,

thumbs up - your V4 update is another big step in the RC development.
I appreciate the possibility to use odd meters like 7/8, 9/8 etc. and also change them during a composition.

However, RC still needs some adjustments in the code to support this and so far some adustments in using RC can be done and some don't.
E.g. it doesn't seem to be possible to set a new chord on odd 8th beats in the master track (the beginning is retricted to 4th beats). This is not only in odd meters but in all meters other than 4th.
It may not be a bid deal for you. Otherwise please put it in your list.

Best regards
Thomas
