I would like to add my thanks for these ... but...

My understanding is that they are not (yet??) bundled into the full RC distribution, so I need to download them myself. However, when I attempt to do so, I get an HTTP 403 error. This happens with all the zip files in this topic, but not other downloads in other topics on the forum (such as JeanPaulProgressions.zip).

Any ideas anyone?

You get permission after so many posts, I think.

Thanks. That makes some sense. I'll keep trying as I post. I don't need these yet as I still have a lot to discover and play with in RC as shipped.

Hi Brian,

If you'd like, I can send you all tonedef71 phrase archives in e-mail.
It would be great to include these in the installer, so I'll ask permission from tonedef71 for including them.

Thanks,
Attila

Hey Everyone,

I’ve got a little gift for the community.

As I was using the available phrases in RC, I felt like the drum patterns in RC were a bit limited in number, so I decided to contribute some of my own (around 800 drum patterns in total).

Hope everyone will get some good use out of them, find a bit of inspiration, and have fun experimenting within RC.

Happy New Year!

Hi shiningstarswwsj!

Happy New Year!

Many thanks for your contribution!

I also wanted to start the new year with some drum phrases... Attached is 465 drum patterns in many styles that you can copy into your CustomPhrases folder.

Thanks,
Attila

Hi Attila!

Wow, thank you so much for this, this is an amazing surprise! I really appreciate you sharing these drum patterns for the community, that’s incredibly generous.

I definitely plan to contribute more whenever I get the time to do so. It’s wonderful to be part of such an active and supportive community. Can’t wait to dive into these and start experimenting.

Thanks again Attila, and all the best for the year ahead!

Hey Everyone,

I’ve attached around 200 genre-inspired drum patterns for RapidComposer. I hope the community finds them useful and that it will help spark some new ideas while working within RC.

Just load up your sounds and fire it up.

These ones really took time to make, but I’m happy to share it with the community. The patterns can also be used at multiple speeds, so they should work well across different styles and tempos.

I’ll try to update it whenever I can and add more patterns over time.

Always glad to give back a little to the MusicDevelopments community. Hope everyone enjoys experimenting with them!

Hey Everyone,

I’ve attached 600 melodic fragments that can be used in a variety of ways. These are small melodic ideas and inspiration starters.

Hopefully you’ll find something useful in there and have fun experimenting with them.

Enjoy and Happy Composing!!!

Hi shiningstarswwsj,

many thanks for your contributions!

These chord-relative phrases are great! And when you combine 2 phrases, you get very interesting rhythm patterns.

Thanks,
Attila

Hi Attila,

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked them

Yes, combining these phrases can lead to some really interesting and unexpected/minimalist rhythm patterns. That was why I wanted to share them.

I’ve also attached 100 drum grooves in 7/4 (odd meter) for anyone looking to explore outside standard time signatures. These can work well for progressive or more experimental ideas.

More stuff coming soon!

Thanks again for all your hard work and support Attila!
