http://musicdevelopments.com/shop.htmlYou can try the demo first. http://musicdevelopments.com/demo.htmlAll our software 40% off until April 20! RapidComposer v4 (music prototyping): $199 $119 RapidComposer v4 LE (music prototyping): $79 $47 Melodya (motive generator and editor plug-in): $49 $29 MIDI Mutator (MIDI file processor plug-in): $49 $29 Syne (modular additive synth plug-in): $89 $53 RapidComposer full edition orders receive free Melodya and MIDI Mutator licenses (by request). RapidComposer VST/Standalone you can open Yamaha Styles save them to the library (rename to.mid). Run the VST inside Biab. Drag the chord track from Biab into RapidComposer Midi Import to give the same chords. I think they were planing on implementing it to just work with Yamaha styles. You can drag midi style tracks from Biab into RapidComposer and save them to the library. You can Drag midi phrases from the internet and save to library. You can drag midi loops from EZKey, EZDrummer and EZBass and save to library. It will fit any phrase/loop/track/stem to any progression, it will handle more chords/any chords than Biab or EZKeys.

Here's a minimal video showing basic functions. There are a lot more features being added like being able to save pitch bends and controllers with the phrases. Will go more into that later. You have articulation maps so you can save articulations to notes in the phrases. You can create realistic strum patterns using the virtual instrument keyswitches, these can be save to the library and fit to any chord progression. Watch: Biab-RapidComposer4-2.mp4

Here's an old demo using the Ample Bass articulations. It uses the map in RC to play the articulations in the midi from the Ample library or any you may add manually. So you can import Guitar Pro Tabs into Ample then save them as phrases in RC with all the articulations that can be dropped into any chord progression and play all the articulations over any chord or octave. https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7q8ikg7e3pgx0g/Biab-RC-Ample-Bass.mp4?dl=0 Biab-RapidComposer-Ample Bass Win/Mac

This is from another post: Don't forget you have Guitar Pro Tabs (thousands), if you don't have Guitar Pro you can use TuxGuitar that will convert to midi it also has a batch converter under the Tools menu. And as mentioned you can load Guitar Pro Tabs in Ample VST's and the free Ample and drop the phrases into RapidComposer and it will play all the GP articulations over any chord or octave. You have Midi Mutator that is included in RapidComposer or separate.  • regenerate the rhythm using 6 rhythm generator algorithms from RapidComposer, plus a new one that preserves exact note and rest lengths, suitable for modern genres • use rhythm from another MIDI file • slice a pattern, then rearrange slices randomly • displace notes randomly, randomize note positions and/or lengths • extend, widen, randomize chord voicings, replace the chord progression • change the beat positions to change the feel • replace or randomize accents • increase/decrease polyphony • randomize pitches • for monophonic phrases: change the contour, add connecting notes. • simple activation. No internet connection is required for activation or operation

If you purchase RC you you can download the Beta version, this is being developed day to day with new features added and bugs fixed.
Attila is there all the time engaging with users.
RapidComposer v4.7b7 is available!
Lots of improvements for MIDI CC editing, and a new melody generator (idea by Chris Caulder) in this update.
Improvements:
Copying/pasting MIDI CC events is possible: "Select all", "Copy selection", "Paste to current time", "Remove selection" added to CC menu
MIDI CC editor rubberbox selection improvements: hold Shift to extend selection vertically to all values
MIDI CC values can be set for multiple events at once
Reset button added to the MIDI CC function generator
Fixed: after an undo in the MIDI CC editor, the tool selection was not restored
New phrase generator: "Melody Generator v2". This works on the scales specified by the chords rather than the master track scale, and has scale tone usage options. Settings were simplified.
Experimental: import chords from MusicXML files (.musicxml or .xml; .mxl files need to be unzipped!). You can drop a MusicXML file to the progression browser. Please note: not all such files include harmony tags, the chords are extracted from the harmony tags!
