Hi Adam!
Rapture x64 DXi does not work with Sonar x64! That's the Catch 22. Apparently it requires SONAR 5.0.2 which does not appear to be available yet. Therefore, for a Sonar x64 user you can't use Rapture in either DXi or VST mode - can't use it period with x64. Furthermore, until the Dimension Pro update is available you can't use it with Sonar x64 either. My conclusion is that there are no x64 V Synths on the market that work. It appears that Cakewalk will be the first when they issue updates for Sonar to work with Rapture and when they issue updates for Dimansion Pro. Until then we must wait patiently.
While I applaud Cakewalk for their industry leadership position in supporting x64 I am a little peaved by the misinformation and confusion that could mislead a V Synth customer to actually purchase any of these products now with the expectation that they will actually work.
