MusicDevelopments

MusicDevelopments has updated RapidComposer to v2.9. The update contains dozens of new features, like the long-awaited melody harmonization, rewritten VST plug-in, and the new note inspector with transformations on selected notes, as well as bug fixes and stability improvements.

Improvements:

  • Harmonization of melody using two different algorithms.
  • Brand new VST plug-in which communicates with the application through a bridge.
  • The new note inspector lets you conveniently edit the properties of multiple notes, with several transformations on selected notes.
  • Improved rhythm editing.
  • New variation: 'Simplify Phrase' to make the rhythm simpler of any phrase.
  • New variation: 'Adjust Note Lengths v2' for fine control of note lengths, even with envelopes.
  • New variation: 'Add Chord Notes' which is similar to 'Add Interval' but adds only chord notes.
  • New variation: 'Extract Rhythm'.
  • Ghost copies can be moved to other tracks. This opens new possibilities in the program.
  • It is possible to specify the length of the rhythm to allow rhythmic repetitions for longer phrases.
  • 'Join Notes' has a new option to inhibit joining notes at chord boundaries.
  • 'Add Interval' offers interval of 'second'.
  • New note mappings: 'Bass note+semitones' and 'Bass note+scale steps'.
  • The application can send certain keystrokes to the VST host in VST bridge mode.
  • It is possible to use 'Render Phrase With Variations' on absolute phrases.
  • Octave is not shown in chord names on the master track when using Roman Numeral notation.
  • Chord inversion is displayed on the master track using less space to improve readability.
  • New phrase generator preview button to play back all other tracks with the phrase.
  • 'Apply' button is enabled when you edit a phrase from the phrase inspector.
  • 'Add To Clipboard' button added in the phrase editor.
  • Dragging the piano keyboard vertically and zooming (Ctrl-drag) works in the Phrase Editor and Phrase Inspector.
  • The master track inspector opens when you right-click on the master track header.
  • Pressing Shift during moving or resizing notes will ignore the snap setting.
  • The Idea Tool has a new setting to leave existing track configuration untouched.
  • Note lengths are not expressed in beats any more. Quarter note (1/4) is used as a 'beat'.
  • [VST] fix a crashing bug during MIDI import.
  • Bug fix: the state of some VST plug-ins were not saved in the history (program change was not always detected).
  • Bug fix: a MIDI file importing problem when tracks with the same name and channel were treated as one track fixed.
  • Bug fix: sometimes the window became very wide when the application started.
  • Other fixes and increased stability.
