I use RC in my DAW (currently primarily Studio One), but I am NOT really making use of the "full composition" capability, rather coming up with phrases or sections that I record to the DAW tracks. So- After making that long post, I see I didn't really answer your questions 🙃 I make music for the joy of it, so "time management" just is not an issue to me. I have zero interest in using musical pattern generators, but having direct access to a more theoretical representation of music integrated into my DAW would certainly be useful.Īs someone who knows music theory, how does this program make a better use of your time? How often do you find yourself reaching for it, and to do what?ĭo you use RapidComposer as standalone, in conjunction with another DAW, or as a sequencer within the latter?

Of course you can save your Generator customization as a preset. Keep in mind you can change every aspect of every Generator at will.
That's the core micro-functionality of RC in a very tiny nutshell. There are several setting along the left, but I chose to open and display the "Rule Set" selector for brevity. There a lots of probability sliders all over RC BTW. On to Generator- This will be especially different based on which of the 21 Generators you are editing- remember we are only in Generic here. RC also supports rhythmic analysis of any dropped in MIDI file. You can also completely customize your own fixed rhythm. There are drop downs for Rhythm type (probabilistic shown) and length. You can activate as many variations as you like. I will just bring up ONE Variation window "Slice Phrase" and paste it after the list. Along with scale choice, lock to scale, and Magnet (basically voice leading with it's own sub-settings). This is the Generic Generator phrase customization window.įor brevity 😉I will skip Size - just setting for phrase length there. Other Generators will have added rule sets pertaining to their styles, like timing for the Strum Generator, etc. I am going to only show one of the simpler Generators- The "Generic". There are currently 21 different Generators. The heart of Rapid Composers "rule sets" are called Generators. The program provides ways to filter, constrain, or otherwise direct that randomness that provides "musical" output. Perhaps some controller data as well, depending on the tool. At a fundamental level, they are all random data generators, spitting out a stream of MIDI note start, end, and velocity data. I have a lot of algorithmic composer tools. I think almost every feature request gets added. Also- I can not overemphasize how responsive the developer is to user input. If you feel overwhelmed, watch some YouTubes and study the MusicDevelopments forum. Lots of other vids on Youtube.įirst off- ^^ What Steve said ^^ Get the demo and get into it. They detail a few different workflows that can be used in RapidComposer. KVR forum - very active with enthusiastic users and direct access to developer is a very impressive,powerful and flexible composition tool. Understanding the basics of music theory does help to get more out of it." There are a huge number of chords and scales and although there are a large number of phrases, I like how you are not limited by these with the phrase generators and the random nature of these generators is a great way to see what happens. The structure is flexible enough to allow you to create a composition for any style, and any length. From scoping out whole songs to providing melodies or piano lines, it’s an amazing powerful and flexible composition tool. If you’ve ever struggled producing melodies or harmonized parts for chords then this can really help your creativity – in minutes. "RapidComposer is a very impressive and inspirational tool. The entire review is worth a read, reviewer is a much better wordsmith than I am. Quote from the Andrulian review of RapidComposer - this reviewed V3 in 2018, V4 is now current release.
