Hi Michael.

Great video, but I can't follow along with the latest version of RC.

I'm trying to use the Manual and following you.

Here a few of the differences and problems.

1 Draging Phrase only adds that phrase to one chord at a time?
2 Double Click on Phrase takes me straight to the Phrase Editor.
3 When I Right Click on phrase in Composition, I can not use the Generator option. I can only work on one chord at a time?

I like your style and presentation and you obviously know what you're talking about, but it is so frustrating!

There seems to be a mismatch. Any ideas?

I'm using Mac M1. Logic Pro X although, short cuts cause RC to crash, so using RC as Standalone.

I've tried the different methods of getting a Phrase from the Phrase Generator into my composition. Sometimes the Phrase will occupy the whole number of bars in the composition, and I can then edit using the Phrase Editor.

Other times it doesn't and I can only edit idividual chords!

Why?

Is there a way to reset RC back to Factory Delfault, because I think the downloaded version has a few bugs!?

Thanks,

where would you like it moved to?

This post should be moved to the MusicDevelopments forum (viewforum.php?f=168)

Sorry again!
Thanks!

1 Draging Phrase only adds that phrase to one chord at a time?

Hi Alfie.
When dragging a phrase (in this case I think it was the modern chord pattern generator), look at the setting at the top right. It will say "n Bars n Beats" (where n is the number)

To get RC to drag 4 bars of chords into your composition, make sure it says "4 Bars 0 Beats"

NB This is 4 BARS, irrespective of the number of chords you have set.

Hope this helps and happy composing.

Cheers.
Mike.
