![]() ![]() ![]() Quote from the Andrulian review of RapidComposer - this reviewed V3 in 2018, V4 is now current release. I've been spending most of my hobby time with RapidComposer and I like the work I've been able to create. I've been using the demo for the last 3 weeks and want to purchase the Full version. It easy to get the created midi out of RapidComposer into your daw. It can run standalone and host your vst sample libraries or it can run as a vst within your daw and output midi to your vst samples. But it is no more difficult to grasp than starting out with other daws. RapidComposer is not every persons "cup of tea". If you at all curious about RapidComposer this might be a good time to download the 30 day demo to take a look before the sale. , which is just the previous sequence rolled left 1 position.MusicDevelopments RapidComposer is "scheduled" to have a sale between Sep 6 - Sep 16, 2021. ), but starting in a different place, for example, Dorian mode is just, +2, +1, +2, +2, +2, +1, +2. All the modes are then just one cycle of offsets (relatively the previous values, +2, +2, +1, +2, +2, +2, +1. D Major) is just this fixed set of offsets with a specific start point. Major) is just a fixed set of offsets, and each key (e.g. This is a good starting point for experimentation, but its also worth realizing that a scale has a similar relationship to the chromatic scale - i.e. (If your calculated index goes "out of bounds" on your array, you can just modulo it back to the beginning - this is essentially what chord inversions are). For a major scale, the vi would automatically be minor. For example, a I–V–vi–IV would just mean setting i to follow the sequence 0, 4, 5, 3 (assuming zero based index in the array). A chord progression is then nothing more than a progression of starting points. For any diatonic scale, that will result is either a major, minor, or a diminished chords (but it will always be "right"). If you think of your scale as an array of pitches (where the first element is the root note of the scale, and the rest are in order), a chord is formed from any point in that that array just by adding more notes at fixed offset - for example your basic triad is always composed as the notes at i, i+2, and i+4. Unfortunately, I purchased Rapid Composer because I didn't know much music theory.īecause I didn't know much music theory. I'd like to add a bit of that functionality to my Reaktor ensemble. I use Rapid Composer a bit and chord progressions are integral to the program. That’s what we mean about the function of a dominantĬhord: its function (or, its purpose) is to move to the tonic chord." ( source) "centuries of music practice have created the circumstance that dominant chords I've read that chord progressions can be one way of doing that: What I'm looking for now are ways to create a larger sense of flow by using listeners' anticipation and expectation. I can evolve these textures slowly using the Turing machine or I can jump from one to another using pre-recorded clips in Ableton. This setup creates very interesting melodies, harmonies, and textures of 8 to 16 notes. My Reaktor ensemble is composed of 4 Turing machines feeding up to 8 MIDI tracks. I'm currently using Ableton to force Reaktor output to a musical scale and have experimented with different devices that create chords from single notes, like rscale pro. ![]()
