v3 Beta Feedback And Discussion (Bugs, Features, Suggestions)

[Boone777]

No, I am afraid this does not work. You can assign different tempo for parts, lines and even for chords, and internally the playback engine is capable to handling gradually decreasing or increasing tempo, but this is not implemented in the user interface.
Tempo track is not read from imported MIDI files, only the global tempo setting.
I suppose this will be added in one of the v4.x versions.

Thanks,
Attila

Can RC follow gradual tempo change of Reaper ? Maybe there is a way to make it work that I'm not aware of currently it gradually lags behind after a tempo change in Reaper.

I have found that if I don't convert the phrase to relative form it does'nt split. So I convert to relative and back to absolute and HALLELUIHA !!! I Can split chords all night !!!

Notice also when I select all the chords and push delete I have to manually select the containers to remove.

Very good observation! I am checking splitting and will fix it.

Can RC follow gradual tempo change of Reaper ?

I seem to remember that it should follow the host tempo changes in the VST plug-in, but I tested this for a very long time, so I am not sure. You need to enable "Use Host Tempo" (by default it is enabled).

Is it possible that keyswitches can display on piano roll keyboard as in reaper, see screenshot ?. I think this is important to see the articulations

Good idea, I have not thought of that...

Hello Attila!
I have a very simple sentence ..
This is what works in almost all of my applications, but not in the RC (
When I drag the midi file to the workspace of the track, then I see that this midi file appeared on the track.
Then I drag the second midi file on the workspace of the same track and see that there are already two midi files.
Let's fine.Let it be so.
But I would like an extension ..
Let's then, when I drag the midi file to the head of the track (not to the workspace), the new one MIDI file will overwrite all other phrases and midi files on this track.
New midi file appeared on the track - all the others are erased!
It's very convenient .This is how the tracks in my NI Maschine work!
Thanks!

[lulukom]

Yes, and more ..
In a percussion generator I, more or less, became friends with the interface and learned how to control the size of windows) (although, of course, I do not know how it is possible, if I have 32 tools?)
It is, but when I open the manual editors of the instruments are already a problem of visual control
(I just do not get to the transport buttons (
One of the suggestions: Optional .Open the manual editor in a separate window!
Thanks.

Hi lulukom,

I implemented this today. I am uploading a new beta version with this feature, and another one that you have been requesting for a long time...
I know the Percussion Gen. cannot show you 32 instruments... it was not designed for that. I am thinking about hiding the rhythm preview for the individual instruments.

Thanks,
Attila

RapidComposer v3.5b13 is available!

Again, lots of improvements in this update which is more or less the final v3.5.
Please test the phrase preview so that any problems can be quickly fixed.
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions and bug reports!

3.5Beta13 changes:

• Timeline and playback position added to phrase preview
• Loop option added to phrase preview
• Setting line length is possible directly in the master track inspector
• Dropping a MIDI file over the track header will replace the track contents
• Chord note parameters in the editor have been renamed to Root, 3rd, 5th, etc.
• Fixed: most workspace shortcuts did not work when used as a global shortcut
• Various fixes for splitting phrases
• Font display improvements
• Fix for crash during note editing introduced in previous beta

Hello Attila!
Thanks for the nice improvements!
The first problem:
When I turned on the loop mode in a percussion generator and tried to change the offset on some instruments (+1/8, for example), then it's impossible to stop playback and the program hangs in this state .. Thank you.

[lulukom]

The second problem:
In another generator, chords play, but if I change the length (1 bit to 4 bits, for example), then in the preview plays a rhythm (mono, of course) and visually it mono and rhythm, instead of chords. Into loop .. Thank you .

[lulukom]

It would be nice in a phrase editor to make the metronome work for both recording and playback) I'm interested in listening to my chords under the metronome (probably it's not difficult to do))) Thanks.

[musicdevelopments]

Thanks for the quick feedback, lulukom, I'll check these problems.
Attila

[magicmusic]

great, thank you for add of loop play and position pointer. now it make lot more fun to create new phrases and test faster. the problem when change offset(during play this phrase), i notice too .esc not help to stop play. i send you a video, that show that the rythm generator too can create very nice sounding brass and string phrases or synths when set 1. instrument to c3. 2. to e3 3. g3.

maybe you find it usefull too, to change the percussion generator that it can too transpose and it can offer to choose instead of a fixed note the chord note number. so can choose for 1. instrument 1. chord note, for 2. 2. chord note...

[musicdevelopments]

Yes, I was prepared for creative usage
It used to offer chord notes but I removed that from this beta, not to confuse anyone.
Do you think I should enable it again?
I'll fix this embarrassing bug when playback does not stop...

Off-topic: Am I the only one who finds that KVRAudio forum pages have a messed up layout? I can see this:
