After a rocky start, Im finally settling in to Synfire. The tutorials on the web page are wonderful. Clear and well paced. I just finished the Arrangement 1 tutorial. Im beginning to feel comfortable in the GUI. I appreciate its "beauty" and design as well.
As I finished the "Pachobel" type Arrangement 1 exercise, I came across this.

For many years I have searched for a satisfactory viiolin sample. This goes beyond that. And employs a different approach then other key controlled instruments. It really took my simple learning tut to a better musical place ;)

You can drop the harmony parameter (in the parameterblock) on the figure parameter slot.
Now you get the chords in the progression as a figure... add some octave doublings note in the existing figure and you get a bigger chord
Experiment with some chord containers above the figures ...and slip composing is also possible with the harmonycontainers to get a good sounding chord transition with the the underlying figure.
I am not sure if Rapid composer is adding something new to the composing process in comparison with Synfire?

RapidComposer (I call it CreativeComposer) has a large variety of very musical generators, easy ways to switch between index and real midi notes and a more comfortable workflow for me. Its very versitile and yet extremely user friendly.
If I could find a buyer I would sell Pro for half of what I paid for it. ;)

Yes, i looked at it Rapidcomposer... it has a easier workflow and more userfriendly than Synfire now it is, but it is not that easy too.
You can doing in Rapidcomposer repeated automated composing.
Synfire is not a crappy piece of music software (made in Germany!), but is missing some userfriendlyness.
They are working at Cognitone to improve it and it could be that it has new outstanding composing features in the future
What was your main hurdle with Synfire that you were disappointed and thought with this i cannot composing ?
If i was you..i should compose for a while with rapid composer and then go back to Synfire.

I am not trying to convince you how good Synfire is...oh no that is not my intention.
Well, if you really don't like the software you are free to choose another software ofcourse..i thought it was possible to sell it here on the forum (ask cognitone for this), but the new owner cannot sell it anymore..only you can sell it only once
Enjoy composing with Rapidcomposer :)

Some violins can be added by this music
I am now going study the ins and out of the bowings of the violin: Cubase 8.5 with the expressionmap and the Halion Symphonic Orchestra can be used to focus on the violin bowings
For example the violin solo and Viola solo do have 12 articulations ..all must be examined in Cubase.

"Hi, are you still interested to sell your Synfire Pro for half the price? If yes, will I be authorized to use it, as if bought by Cognitone?"
