MusicDevelopments releases RapidComposer v5

MusicDevelopments has announced the release of RapidComposer v5.

Version 5.0 introduces the "Rhythm Lab" rhythm generator, the "MIDI Transformer" which crafts related sequences from an input MIDI file, and the "DAW view" for a global composition perspective akin to a DAW. Additionally, it comes with VST/VST3 sound effects, ghost tracks, enhanced UI, and numerous other advancements.

Key Features Introduced in v5.0:

• Rhythm Lab: A state-of-the-art rhythm generator, set to render several preceding rhythm generators obsolete. All phrase generators now employ Rhythm Lab as their default setting, with refined default configurations.

• MIDI Transformer (Exclusive to the Full Edition): Elevate your creativity by dropping a MIDI file into this phrase generator. Witness the birth of a new phrase capturing the essence and style of your input.

• DAW View: A sophisticated global composition view, reminiscent of leading DAW interfaces. Enjoy features like multi-track phrase selection and movement, rubberbox selection across tracks, and easy multi-track MIDI file dropping.

• VST/VST3 sound effect integration.

• Ghost Tracks: Introducing ghost tracks with an 'unghost' option. These tracks encapsulate all phrases from the original, allowing rendering with or without initial track variations.

Additional Enhancements:

• Refined plugin handling architecture.

• Efficient plug-in scanning with blacklisting capabilities for crashed plug-ins.

• Introducing Variation Presets and a CC Envelope browser to streamline your work.

• Enhanced velocity editor for 'Manual Editing' with direct velocity setting when moving or resizing notes.

• Revamped UI.

• Scales may contain additional notes, so the special "major set", "minor set", "major/minor set" and similar scales are properly represented.

• Document organization with dedicated folders for different file types under Documents/RapidComposerV5.

• Plug-in enhancements including improved UI rendering, event management, and independent looping.

• Comprehensive internal optimizations and bug fixes.
