RapidComposer v5 beta feedback and discussion

[sj1]

Two points of potential improvement in the workflow shown (a few posts) above.

1. Instead of the Phrase Split operation rendering to absolute notes, winding up with relative notes would be the more desirable default IMO (preventing more work later). A choice or config option for Absolute vs. Relative here would be ideal.

2. For this initial release, naming the results of the Phrase Split operation 'Rendered' was a good idea, making sure the user knows what's actually there. Once we have a choice about that, or even once we understand the situation clearly, it would be good to be able to have the Phrase Split operation result in phrase names immediately upon execution, according to a Config option. The {} name tokens are brilliant. Making the path to them even quicker with fewer manual steps will be ideal.

It took me a whole day to figure out that the RC plugin plays DAW DP
1/8 faster than DP. Or 1/8 behind. I chose a thousand settings to understand why the plugin does not synchronize ? I think that the problem is in some kind of inconsistency with DAW. Maybe try to make an adjustment to compensate for the delay forward and backward in fractions and milliseconds... Well, something like that...

Crash. There was a Rhythm Lab adjustment.

A heads-up for Windows of the most technical kind:

Major thanks to Attila for the powerful new chord progression processing capabilities now available in Rapid Composer!

The above is a guide, and a reference for further discussion. Enjoy!

Thank you, Steve for posting this guide with so many screenshots!

Hey Steve could you re-post that in tips and tricks, or maybe Atilla could move that thread?? (of course after it is officially released)

Many thanks, lulukom! OMG this is a serious bug introduced recently, it is also in the current stable release!

Thanks!

Good idea. I decided to release v5.4 sooner than I planned, in about a week.

I guess we all need to double down and find the bugs! hehe..

Maybe shoot out another beta after you make those fixes too..

It would be good to make a function "Combine selected phrases/folders into a new folder" in the browser for Phrases, Rhythm and Progressions. Thank you.

Hi Attila. I figured out the issue with the plugin synchronization inside the DP. As soon as the plugin plays with its internal SF sounds, then everything is fine with the synchronization. As soon as the plugin plays with at least one VST sound, the synchronization goes out of order. Adjustments in the VST3/AU settings do not help. I do not know how to solve this. Thank you.

Hi lulukom,

when did this start to work like that? I mean this used to work well on your setup. To save time, can you send me a simple DP project using a MOTU instrument, to demonstrate this? So far no other users reported synchronization issues with DP or other DAW.

Thanks,
Attila

Ok, I'll send it.
