RapidComposer v5 beta feedback and discussion

and as a follow up, maybe consider these as well for the note forwarding..

In settings, add a note color for what a key switch would be. In other words, if the user knows that keys below, let's say, C2 and below are going to be key switches, maybe use purple as that color.. etc. (If that is already set up in settings, ignore this one)

For a selected track that you are forwarding to, allow note re-use, but, also color code the notes maybe with the track color it is going to. If the note is going to multi tracks, use a multi track note color.

Add a rule for all notes for a quick all note kind of add.. For me, I'll probably use the note range, but, would probably run across needing everything at some point.

All in all, very cool stuff. It now allows me to edit even faster as I can now work on one track. Like this:

Thinking more on this, not sure if the re-use would work, as well, as the color coding with out major work, so, maybe don't worry about it now.

I suppose you could note forward a note forward if needed..

This is for B8. When I select a fingering that is not possible (really?) RC gets lost and doesn't let me choose another fingering in the previous dialogue.

Hello rockbandguy,

in theory this error occurs when
- there is a note which is below the lowest possible note specified by the tuning/capo/minimum fret settings
- there is a note which is above the highest possible note specified by the tuning/capo/maximum fret settings
- bigger polyphony than the number of strings

How can I reproduce this bug? Which previous dialog did you mean (Track Guitar Setup)?
If you still have that file, I'd love to take a look at it.

Thanks,
Attila

If you have some time, could you please work on the midi re-routing inside RC? Internal re-routing inside RC needs a little enhancement. Sometimes when working with Loopmidi, there are some problems and midi messages are not detected.

Thanks so much for your great program.

Hello foster911,

AFAIK nothing has changed about MIDI event handling recently.
Will you elaborate on your workflow? Which track do you route to which other track?
In RC the incoming MIDI events go to the active/selected track.
I am asking because I am planning to add proper MIDI (and audio) routing between tracks.

Thanks,
Attila

For example:
1- I open Loopmidi and define 1 port to be used inside RC.
2- I specify Loopmidi port 1 as MIDI In in setting-->MIDI In.
3- I select Loopmidi port 1 in the first instrument track as output.
4- I open Tonnetz window and select Enable Midi In.
5- I want to see the notes and phrases in the track to be reflected on the tonnetz.
6- Unfortunately nothing appears on the tonnetz.
7- It seems tonnetz window can't detect the midi output messages from the instrument track.

I think another good option would be letting Tonnetz select which midi port to be used as its input.

How can reset the controllers for vst plugins when press play ?. i enable in midi reset controllers but there is info it work not on vst plugins . can it work on vst plugins too ? .maybe rc need send manual in a loop controller 0-127 to 0 if vst not support reset all comntrollers ? . it should be no speed problem because vst need not the very slow midi bus

Hey.. I was thinking that maybe change the forward tracks to be inclusive in note range. Currently, if you set the range, it doesn't include the note you set, you have to go one lower or higher. (It's acting like the compare is > and not >= or <= )

Sorry to bother you again!

Random switches in TZ still exists. Where this happens? When I II III symbol has been selected on the top raw of TZ and I click on the edges of triangles (notes). Suddenly my selections are ignored and other edges and triangles are selected. The only possible way for me is selecting CDE symbol. I don't know why this happens with I II III.

This is a big favor if you can resolve it. Thanks so much!

Hey all and Atilla especially!

Really having fun now as I just updated my guitar VST library.. Since you are making RC very guitar friendly, I highly suggest adding the ability to view guitar tab as maybe a stay on top window so that you could easily program AmpleSound VST's., (or any guitar VST)

If it could possible, I am sure there are c++ libraries out there that support TAB.. I'll be happy to locate them for you if you need that.. but, don't just use a simple pdf style view, but, actual tab is better. I think you would need something that reads guitar pro tab, but, I am not sure. maybe ask AI what to do.. lol

Since I already play guitar, I was working with the mind set I didn't need any guitar VSTs.. Well, lol, now I don't have to hook up all the gear to play.. hehehe so yea, this is really cool stuff..

I really miss the ability to quickly glue phrases together. Maybe I don't know about it? )) For example, clicking a mouse while holding down a key?

Settings - KeyBoard ShortCuts -> WorkSpace -> Join Selected Phrases

and set a key for it..

Thank you. I just forgot)))

Thank you. I just forgot)))

Also, you can just type in the search bar for a setting..

I am having issues with drag and drop midi in RC.. I have midi with CC info, but, RC not reading it. Like, pitch bend info.. it's empty after import..

Just create midi with pitch bend and try to import it.. It does work from the import tab, just not working in drag and drop.
