Roland Groovesynth

I am looking to get a copy of Roland GrooveSynth.  Is there a way to purchase this synth separately?
 

that is such a bummer.  I used it on a song a few years ago that we are starting to perform live; my keyboardist uses Fruity Loops, and I was able to get Rapture to work with it, so we're at least able to use that - but I was able to purchase Rapture and it was easy to get it installed.  I wonder if there is a way I can copy the files over to make it work?  We tried moving the .dll over and it said it was looking for "mfc100u.dll", but there are a zillion of those on my machine.  Oh well.

No I guess you didn't read my 2nd post.  I have Sonar (and have been using Cakewalk since the early 90's) and Groove synth, but my keyboardist is using another system and program for live performance.  We would have liked to load GrooveSynth on her system but unfortunately it is not available as standalone.

Well, yes, we have thought of that.  We were actually able to make a patch (sample) from my Sonar and she imported it as an SFX file into her player, so we're able to use it.  Fortunately, it's just a simple sound that doesn't arpeggiate - as the one we're using in Rapture does!  I love Rapture so much I bought it, and she has it installed on her system and now we're able to use it live.  (winning).  The only bad thing about this is that the note changes across the spectrum and with the note we sampled we are stuck with one, but it totally works well enough for live.  So it's slightly different, but it works.

Anyway, thank you for your advice and insight.  It would have been nice to have the synth itself on her system; there are a few on there she would have loved to play with, and it is a bit cumbersome to make patches, but it is what we will do if the need arises.
 
I did contact Roland (per Cakewalk support), and they do not make a standalone version of the synth unfortunately.  Seems a bit silly, and like it would be easy enough to do since it's software. ;)

She could but she is used to using what she is using and it works VERY well.  We're not going to do that for 1 synth.  I don't think I can install Sonar on her system because that is against the User Agreement & License?  It is not my system or machine so it is against the agreement I believe.

Sonar isn't exactly the best thing to use for live.  I know of some doing it, but it does not run very efficiently and starts bogging down if you don't have like a SUPER-MACHINE and aren't doing too much.  I actually use Reaper more because of that exact reason.

That's a lot of cash for one mediocre synth, if it was Rapture, I would say YES!!!  But GrooveSynth ain't all that.  LOL.  Even the other VST's that come with Sonar aren't that great IMO.  They're allright, but I have standalone ones that I bought, and much better VST's I've purchased elsewhere (i.e., Slate Bundle)

Again, this is just a live performance rig.  It's all good. Thanks for your help.  

It might be.  But her Fruity Loops is GOD for live performance, and she's SO intimately familiar with it.  No time to learn new systems.  We're golden.  She upgraded and it actually has some enhancements for live performance that it isn't worth rolling back.

If the host does not have DX support the options are limited. There is a free dx-to-vst wrapper that has been around for some time. Read about it here. IIRC, it is 32bit so will work 32bit DX plug-ins only. It would work better in 32bit VST hosts but may work in 64bit hosts using a bridge.
 
The best solution is look for an alternate VST synth.
