another problem with the IAC approach in the AU is that all other apps listening to midi on the OSX system will pickup all that IAC midi data too.

Here's some proof of concept of how you could use AUmfx version of RC in a project. I am using Kushview Element's AUmfx to sub-host RC.vst3 inside of it in the MFX slot of LogicPro. This is functionally the same as if RC came in AUmfx version.

In this case Omnispheres is a multi-timbral instrument with up to 8 parts on 8 midi channels and it works very well driving 8 midi channels to it. No IAC! Sample Accurate!

Could do the same thing with something like VePro as the multi-timbral instrument, then it would support 16 midi channels, no IAC and sample accurate.

Alternatively we can use third party sub hoster and put RC inside it in the instrument slot... like this:

Note in the above though, I crash LogicPro every time when closing the Kushview element window (RC is the cause of crash). And while the above will avoid IAC problems by using RC.vst3 and will be sample accurate and also provides a way to use both midi out and sound fonts from RC too I might add, it does require the use of a third party product, in this case Kushview Element. But honestly these approaches are preferable then to using IAC.

The shortcut "D" in this case, no clue what is supposed to have focus...

Good catch! It fetched up the same action ID from the note inspector. I fixed that. I have already built beta44 so the fix will be in the next update.

Thanks,

I was also thinking that wherever you reference "all" in the phrase inspector would be more suited as a track level function, rather than a phrase level..

Changes for Beta 44?

musicdevelopments · Post by **musicdevelopments** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 9:57 am

I can't believe I forgot to post this (thanks sj1):

RapidComposer v3.9b44 is available!

Improvements:

Cosmetic changes in the Chord Selector: using vector graphics at some places
"Generate Progression" button in the chord selector works differently, in accordance with the rest of the UI: left click to generate, right click for options
Fixed a possible crashing issue during editing and previewing chord progressions in the Chord Selector
[Plug-ins] Crashing when unloading the plug-ins fixed (introduced in beta35)

Hi Dewdman42!

Thanks for the very informative post! I have learnt a lot.
I fixed a few bugs and built a MIDI FX version of RapidComposer. I think it works pretty well in Logic Pro X, even the audio.
I am going to send you the installer in PM, if you are willing to try it.
At the moment it would be a hassle to build BOTH the synth and MIDI FX AU, but if you find that it is useful, I'll solve the build issues.

Thanks!
Attila

Hello Attila! In the new beta, in the Chord Selector, the Icon Filter Notes works only for switching on and when pressed again does not return to the previous view. (Perhaps I don't understand something and it should be so)

chord selector, color by chord suggestion isn't working..

musicdevelopments · Post by **musicdevelopments** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 10:52 am

The notes filter under Chord List works for me, on Windows and macOS.

Color by suggestions indeed does not work... I am checking why.
Thanks,
Attila

Yes it works . My mistake .

Hi,

I notice that when the Chord Selector is opened as 'For Chord Progression' (which has extra controls) the window is too tall for the monitor.

Offhand, I'd suggest fewer but longer rows so that the window is fully on the screen.

Do you also experience flashes in the Chord Selector window when changing tabs? I noticed this yesterday but could not fix it yet.

musicdevelopments · Post by **musicdevelopments** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 11:12 am

Hi Steve,

I suppose you mean the 'Chord List' which gets tall. You can make the rest of the views smaller in size either by excluding data, or by resizing.

Thanks,
Attila
