RapidComposer is a unique, non-destructive, phrase-based music prototyping software designed for composers, song-writers and musicians of all musical styles

- Dropping folders to the phrase and rhythm browsers to import MIDI files as phrases/rhythm patterns has been implemented.
- MIDI file batch conversion to scale-relative phrases is possible when you drop MIDI files on the Phrase Browser.
- Filling a track with phrases reworked. Hold down Shift to use ghosts, and Ctrl to activate the magnet when filling a track. Six new keyboard shortcuts added for various phrase generators.
- Track is made empty before filling it with phrases.
- New experimental phrase generator: ‘Random Note Generator’ which is useful for triggering patterns/keyswitches.
