Did anybody auditioned Rap Pro's Clavinet and PianetT content packs?

The clavinet pack was a deciding factor in upgrading, I had ditched DimPro and Rapture earlier in the year. The pack is the only one I downloaded, but it took nearly 2 hours to do so. I didn't get a chance to look at it, but if no one else adds anything I post some info after work today.
 
The PlaneT pack has me intrigued, so am also interested in more details .
 
I would really like to see a listing for the whole content, so I can make a better judgement than swamping myself in thing I'll never use, and wasting time downloading (especially with my download times. I'm done enough installing and updating for while.

Shouldn't this be just in the Browser's Bank section? Under Expansion Pack?

I can not load it unless I install it and I really don't want to install a Gb of samples for few programs it offers. Seriously- that's it? 5 presets made of 1 Gb of samples- no thank you.
 
Thanks for letting me know.

I haven't found any programs with Clavinet.
 
I have Rap Pro, installed the packs and I can find only one "Clavinet" in the whole bunch when I do a search of "Clavinet" and that's the "Funk Phaser Clavinet" and that's in the Dim Pro Legacy Expansion pack.

With respect and at risk of stating the obvious ... did you search for the shortened "Clav" as per the red entries in my previous post?

Thank you for detailed review. Looks like something I can live without. I was thinking- the reason I am missing samples everywhere is because I did not install these packs- was wondering if it has hidden samples for other programs.

Nah, I'm confused. I've installed and reinstalled, CCC says it's installed fine. I thought this would show as an expansion pack, but being I don't have any others installed I can't compare.
 
All I have installed from CCC is the main synth program which comes with a limited Program collection, and the Clavinet pack. I can only see Funky Muted Clav FS in Rapture Pro, I'm guessing this is from the main download, rather than the Clavinet Pack. I would expect to see selection with a 1.4Gb install.

The search function only seems to work on a selected bank, not throughout all programs. Or maybe I'm getting batty as it's rather late here...

Nah, I'm confused ...

So check under your Multisamples directory (default C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Sample Data\Rapture Pro\Multisamples) ... do you have a 'Clavinet' directory?
 
The only way I found the respective progs was by examining the elements. They are in the RapPro Electronic Pianos - not presented as a 'pack'.

I knew I had the contents, I just didn't know if the program file in RP was using them. Being I also have some Clav waves relating to the main install.
 
I can now see that the SFZ file in the elements called Clavinet Muted, although there are 4 SFZ'z listed in the Clavinet folder, so would these not have programs too?   Just also noticed after loading it that it lists, Funky Muted Clav FS it ads [122.8 MB] after this. So I have 1.5 gs of samples and just one program file that uses 122.8 MB. 
 
At the moment I'm thinking something is not right. I'm manualy downloading the Pack again (outside of CCC) to see if I can get more info with it. I stared this about 2 hours ago, eta 11 mins - 12 hours.
 

Well downloaded it and extracted it, but can't see how I do anything with it

Well that's plan disappointing. It's put me off even bothering with any other packs.

I have reviewed further and found  ...

No - I didn't trawl the program elements this time :).

Thanks for both confirming. It's funny the only clean Clavinet uses 122.8 MB but some of the effected type use the 1945.1MB.
 
Looks like making my own with the Clavinet full Mute on CC1.SFZ is the best option

Just to confirm, when you search, you need to click on each of your banks to find the search results. Also, your experiences may vary depending on what packs you have installed.

Hi Guys,
 
FISOUND contributed the sample content for the Clav and PianetT.  The sample content in these packs include full Multi-sampled instruments at 96k 24bit.  Multiple velocity layers, release samples with variations of .sfz files to get you started. if you are into that vibe of old EPs these packs will be right up your alley.  I can give you some more details on the Multisample sfz files included with the content:
 
The Clavinet is from a Hohner D6 with direct signal and Mics from a 1966 Fender Super Reverb.
 
      Clavinet Full Mute On CC1
 
This loads the full Clavinet Multisamples.  Attacks, Release Samples, and Muted Layers.  Moving Modulation Wheel MIDI CC1 will crossfade between the normal layers and the muted layers.  Very cool and much easier then sliding the actual Clavinet Mute.  :)

      Clavinet Full No Muted
 
The full Clavinet Multisamples with release layers but no Muted Layers.

      Clavinet Light
 
A lite edition with less velocity layers if you want to create a program that utilizes less RAM.
 
      Clavinet Muted
 
Just the Muted layers, this can be fun especially mixing with other Clav Wavetables.
 
 
 
Details on the PianetT
 
      PianetT Full
 
Full Multi-samples and release layers.  

      PianetT Light
 
Reduced set for less RAM consumption.

      PianetT Releases
 
Utilizes only the Release layers, use this to layer with other instruments for adding a bit of funk and clunk.
 
      PianetT Reverse
 
Plays the Multi-samples back in reverse for special effects and layering patches.

      PianetT Veltrack
 
A variation on the velocity tracking for amplitude on the PianetT Multisamples.  Adjust to taste. 
 
 
 
 
If you have any other questions on the samples or any issues let me know. 
 
Best,
Chad

Hi Chad,
 
Thanks for the quality samples Chad.
 
To assist wider understanding wrt some of the posts above regarding size can you/anyone confirm/clarify my rudimental understanding ...
 
The samples are 96K x 24bit x 1channel = 2304kbps BitRate
All the Clavinet samples  are ~1.5GB (on disk)
All the PianetT samples are ~650MB (on disk)
 
When calling an sfz are it's memory requirements determined by what it has definitions for /calls to (as opposed to necessarily loading all instrument samples - but might typically be one full keyboard / mic arrangement, velocity layers and releases)? 
 
So the resource requirements for disk and memory are a direct result of the quality of the samples and the component requirement of the sfz definition. (?)
 
In the case of 'Gothic Plunkton' (2025MB), it uses:
Mellotron Strings Tape - 25MB
Vint Saw Bitred - 8KB
Clavinet Full No Muted - 1.56GB
GoldTops GTN Powerchords - 57.2MB
 
That still doesn't add up to 2GB - more like 1.6GB ???
Regardless - still quite a memory draw and of course that'd likely be moreso if the other samples were 96/24.
I'm still running an 8GB machine :)  (which has coped well for my requirements thus far). 
 
I noticed  also, seemingly moreso for the lower notes, the duration is longer (/size bigger). Is that due to lower notes having a longer sustain?
 
Cheers,
Shell.
