This is for the Full version of RapidComposer, for the LE version see HERE.

Having midi phrases you can move around over any key/chord/scale is just one of the great features of RapidComposer.
The Full version allows you to save keyswitch articulations to any notes in your phrases.

In C:\Users\BIAB\Documents\RapidComposerV3\DB
You will have your vst's info Kontakt 5.dll.rcINST that is created when you add a vst to RapidComposer
we just create a new text file and rename it Kontakt 5.rcCTRL
we drag it into Notepad to edit
add your instrument in the green text area

Be aware of your keyswitch positions, some programs call middle C (note #60) C4, some other vendors call it C3,
so my keyswitches in Kontakt were on C0 qctave in RapidComposer they were being played on C-1 so in the text Kontakt 5.rcCTRL I had to move them to the C1 octave. As you play the phrase you will see the keyswitches being triggered by RapidComposer.



So now we have made and saved our Kontakt 5.rcCTRL for the Kontakt 5.dll.rcINST

We set the the track Instrument to Kontakt
Set the Controller Set to Kontakt
Set the Articulation Set to our Kontakt Instrument Delta Blues Ac Slide Gtr

Pic 2
Set to Note Editing

Pic 3
Set Articulation for note/s in phrase

Pic 4
Switch back to Phrase Editing

Pic 5
Save Phrase to your Custom Phrases, now you can drag n drop your phrases anywhere and it will fit to key/chord/scale

Any midi that you import/drag in can be converted to Relative form, saved it to Custom Phrases, so as you move it it will snap the notes to the chord or scale.

I see you've upgraded to the full version.

Pipeline: wondering if you can help me with RC (LE).

Problem I have with BIAB, New song, is to figure out a "sequence" of chords to use <ie> 3 chords or 4 chords, etc.

My interest in RC is the large variety of chord sequences it can create but I'm not able to export just the chord ideas into BIAB. My main instrument is Guitar. What RC window should I use to lay down a single track, bring into BIAB and from there choose a Style using the chords generated.

Hope this makes sense. Appreciate your time.

Insert a new track in RC
right click > Fill with Chord Generator
hold Ctrl key and drag track name out to a folder

In Biab, File > Import > Import Chords from Midi file Ctrl-Alt-I (NOT PG Music MIDI file)
Open (Change)
INTERPRET CHORDS NOW

The Beta version has more newer features compatible with Biab like Midi Import and 2 bar intro option. Add the beta to the end of your download link:

If you find any chords that are not interpreted correctly when importing either way report them to Attila in the forum.

Thank you Pipeline for taking the time to answer (and suggestions).

Will give it a go.

Pipeline: thanks again, it works. So much happier.

Hi Pipeline. Bought RapidComposer a while back out of sheer curiosity. Almost gave up because of its interface and lack of a manual with simple "how to .." etc. You surely got me interested again. Thanks, F

Yes, I had the same problem at first and almost gave up but stuck with it and found out it's awesome !!
Attila has added so many requests that makes it work great with Biab Win-Mac and Win Realband, in plugin or standalone.
If you go through the Tip n Tricks here there are more tutorials on RC.

Tips and Tricks - is there suppose to be a link??
