REQ: Music Developments Rapid Composer v4.7

After months of development and beta testing, we are happy to announce the latest update. The new update includes a Markov model implemented in the MIDI Mutator to create similar MIDI sequences from a dropped MIDI file, MIDI CC function generator, MIDI CC editing improvements, pivot chord suggestions, a new melody generator and lots of other improvements.

Music Theory Integrated
Create great sounding chord progressions, use piano-style phrases even if you’ve never touched a piano, auto-harmonize melodies, get chord suggestions, load MIDI files with chord detection, use the chord palette or the "circle of fifths" chart, RapidComposer will always assist you in songwriting.

Smart Phrases
Phrases always conform to the current chord and scale on the master track. Forget about tinkering with notes. Lay out the chords on the master track, or just drop a chord progression on it, with a key-press you can generate a harmony track with perfect voice leading. Start composing now!

Phrase Generators
Rhythm and phrase generators are included for various purposes. Create monophonic or polyphonic patterns. Generate melody. Use variations to change phrases non-destructively. Slice or change the rhythm of existing phrases.

Flexible Chord Selection
RapidComposer offers several ways to select chords for the master track or chord progressions including Tonnetz and Circle of Fifths. Color chord buttons by consonance, common notes, tonality or suggestions. Set up chord rules for progressions. Use chord voicings for tracks, phrases or master track chords.

Melody Editor*
Melodya is a motive generator and editor, which was integrated into RapidComposer as a Melody Editor tab in v4.0. By enabling the chords track, you can create a melody for a given chord progression, so two entirely different workflows are supported.
