Songwriting tool RapidComposer v1.3 gets its Biggest Update Ever

MusicDevelopments have released their biggest ever update to RapidComposer.

DAWs are great for mixing and mastering but they are not really intended for music composition. RapidComposer is a dedicated application for creative music composers with non-destructive editing and features that you won't find even in the best DAW applications. Not because RapidComposer is better than a DAW; it is a different tool for a different purpose.

The changes in RapidComposer 1.3 are:

• Improved editing in composite tracks; it is possible to change the instrument of the selected notes/phrases with just one click
• Sophisticated MIDI CC editing and recording
• Articulation can be specified for phrases or individual notes
• Phrase and note preview during editing with options
• Multiple instances of the same VSTi plug-in can be loaded
• Optionally hiding the left and middle panes to maximize workspace
• Hiding tracks manually or with AutoHide options
• Smarter naming of tracks when using {preset}
• 'Add To Composition' option at MIDI Import
• Bug fix: muting a track during playback did not send note off
• Bug fix: VSTi internal state is stored when chord/scale/rhythm preview was VSTi
• Bug fix: VSTi plug-ins exporting no presets did not appear in the instrument list
• Bug fix: 'Invalid Composition File' message when reverting to an earlier state in the history
• Bug fix: VSTi plug-ins that require audio input do not crash anymore
• Bug fix: black screen when maximizing the window and maximizing on dual monitors fixed
• Many other small improvements and fixes
• Documentation updated
