RapidComposer 6 beta feedback and discussion

[musicdevelopments]

Hi Kevin,

I sent you an e-mail on June 5th, maybe you have not received it?
I managed to make the RC plug-in work in Cantabile Performer when Hi-DPI mode is enabled.

RapidComposer has been tested in all major DAWs as well as several smaller hosts, but Cantabile Performer appears to handle the plugin UI differently. There is a setting that allows RapidComposer to work correctly in Cantabile Performer when Hi-DPI mode is enabled. Please open the standalone version of RapidComposer, click the Settings tab, then the User Interface tab. Scroll down to Rendering, and set Windows UI scaling to Disabled.

Please note that although window resizing works normally in other DAWs, in Cantabile Performer I recommend resizing the plugin window using RapidComposer's built-in resize handles.

Unify 2 indeed has a serious problem, a kind of feedback loop with window resizing that leads to a crash. I am investigating if this can be fixed on the plugin side.
I am also checking FL Studio, which used to work. I am sorry about these issues.

Thanks,
Attila

I have checked FL Studio, and it uses a wrong window size when the RC editor opens (a kind of mismatch between points and pixels on HiDPI screens). The fix: close and reopen the plugin window. You can resize the window using the RC resize handles. I could not resize the FL Studio plug-in window itself.

Unify 2 has a bug which caused a window resize feedback loop. When RC set the window height to 600, Unify reported that the host changed the window height to 601. Then RC set the height to 601, Unify reported it has changed it to 602, etc. I added a workaround so that the RC plugin can be used in Unify 2.

I'll upload a new beta version in a few minutes.
Kevin, I'll send you the download links in email. Thank you for reporting these problems!

Thanks,
Attila
