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

[musicdevelopments]

question is :
am i missing something obvious? is there is a way / workaround for
-avoiding 16 Ch midi limit- : Only one instance of RC can be used ?

No, at the moment it is not possible to open 2 plug-in instances to use more than 16 channels. I will implement this later. It would not make sense to have several RapidComposer windows open at a time. Somehow the 2nd, 3rd instance should offer more channels in the first instance. Probably it is not difficult to do.

Thanks,
Attila

EDIT: I have fixed this bug: plug-ins worked in demo mode.

A question: did anyone lost the 'unlocked' status during using the new beta version, and the program became a demo version? Someone reported this on macOS and I don't know how it could happen.

In the new beta the unlocked and demo versions are the same binary, so there are no separate demo and unlocked installers. This is to make everyone's life easier, including software crackers

Thanks,
Attila

not sure if you saw my post above...
cropping issue..

Yes, thank you, I fixed the cropping issue which happened only when opening inspectors in a separate window. I do hope people won't use the separate window option when the browsers will be docked at the right side (very soon). I am thinking of removing it entirely because it is a pain UI-wise, your screenshot is a good example why.

Thanks,
Attila

Hi lulukom,

no, the Melody Editor phrase saves everything: the melody notes, settings and generation options. How can I reproduce this problem?
The only issue that I found that "melody variety", "rhythm variety" and "rhythm type" controls were not updated when opening a ME phrase.

I also checked saving and loading presets. That also includes everything.

Thanks,
Attila

Hi Attila!
Unfortunately, I can take back my words only regarding the saving of the transport loop of the Composition.
In the Melodic Editor, nothing is saved along with the Composition. The generated melody itself (melody notes) - no!
Variations and generation options - no!
Even when creating a New composition and even when saving the composition "Save as ..."
How to demonstrate this to you, I don’t know. Maybe record video from the screen?
And even today I will try to uninstall the program and reinstall it.
 And I did not understand what presets you wrote about? I mean, can you make presets of settings and options in the Melody Editor? Thanks .

awesome.. I have no clue why I have that set anyways.. lol.. but, great idea on the remove..

and another small request, the ability to copy and paste in the rules editor...

[BluGenes]

@lulukom.. the heart at the top right of the melody editor screen.. that's the presets

[musicdevelopments]

Hi lulukom,

I just don't understand this.
Can you send me a composition file which includes a Melody Editor phrase. I will check what is saved and restored. I made lots of tests yesterday and I can confirm that everything was saved.

Also, can you check if the melody presets (the heart button as BluGenes mentioned) are saved and restored properly? That should also save everything. If not, will you please send me the preset file (.rcMLDY)?

Thank you!
Attila

Attila, now it has become more or less clear to me (Thanks to BluGenes).
The settings and options of the last operation are not saved and only a preset saves everything and it can be called up.And after loading the program , you need to select the saved preset in ME (ALL is saved in the presets, except for the Play Option (Piano always works by default and each time you need to set up a instrument for preview) And I don’t understand yet where to adjust instrument volume if SF is used.And I mean, of course, the volume of individual instruments ... In the SoundFont tab, where Settings, only the overall volume for all instruments, but in the preview tab only the velocity of chords. All this about ME, because everything is clear on tracks with volume). Thank you!

[BluGenes]

sent you a PM Atilla on a long over due bug that should be fixed.. It deals with an OnClick issue in the browsers and drop down lists.. It is the one where you click a drop down list item and it rapidly selects the first item in the list and it's always the one you don't want .. lol

I have been meaning to point this out for a long time..

It's especially painful when selecting a VST on a track.. On my setup, the first VST listed is Absynth and it is kind of a big, so, it's a waiting game, but, it also happens other browsers as well..

It is also somewhat random behavior..

3 reports

1-
just realized by pressing to Load .. my RC VST 2 & 3 runs in demo mode!?
Standalone is fine.
what should i do?

2-
3.9b11 x64 VST2 and VST3
both still crashes the Reaper v6 x64 if i close the GUI and press to Play
(maybe because of demo mode?)

3-
Standalone - Idea Tool
-Select scale and generate progression based on rule
-Keep harmonic rhythm (btw. just discovered )
-Add New Part
it resets the rhythm and creates only one single chord in the newly created part.

-motto- (nothing urgent to me!)

[BluGenes]

I have the save comp on close settings set and when I just opened this test project, the VST button was missing..

Edit: If you re-load the VST, it fixes ...

[crossovercable]

Thanks for the new plugin versions ! I can add an audio track !
I can get the gain slider but not a pan.
I can't drag n drop the wav in I have to go via the import dialog.

I also want to report the DEMO issue when using Studio One latest version.

Is there a fix?

[crossovercable]

I got that also, so I deregistered the main app, closed it and started the plugin and it asked for the key, I entered it and it worked.

[AxBC]

Hi crossovercable, I think my crash was because I was using an older S1 song for testing that had an instance of the RapidComposer_x64 VST2 and/or the song is corrupt. I created a new song and added the VST3 RapidComposer and an instance of RealLPC 5 and created a Fingerpicking phrase and RC v3.9b11 has not crashed yet.
However, RC VST3 plugin still shows DEMO. Everything seems to work but I don't know how to get rid of the DEMO in the RC title. Were you able to clear the DEMO? Or is that something Attila needs to correct? Thanks.
