Paul Thomson from Spitfire Audio keeps publishing very good YT videos. The latest one is about choosing chords to fit a melody.

I got an almost instant reply (RapidReply :grinning:) from Attila at MusicDevelopment regarding the chords features in RapidComposer. I will post the results, if any!

I like to use RC as a standalone program. Then I pull them from there to Dawi, in my case Logic. Somehow I don’t see the need to open it in Logic.

Hulkko, I am also a Logic user and just got in touch with Attila regarding RapidComposer and chord generation. I’ll let you know what he says!
