I'd love for more info on how to use it somewhere seems like we are left hanging when it comes to dim pro. It needs to be a full featured sampler and offer us a way to create multisampled patches on our own without writing SFZ code.

sfz files are an essential part of DimPro, if you want a good reference for DimPro and other CW synths this http://noisesculpture.com/cakewalk-synthesizers is a great resource. I just d/l'ed the free update for z3ta+2.

Yeah - LOVE Dimension Pro. My music mostly uses sounds of real instruments, not analog or synth pads or any of that kind of stuff. So, I use Dimension Pro alot - multiple instances of it in some songs. I'm always looking for new expansion packs, but haven't seen anything new for quite some time. I'd love to see an upgraded Dimension Pro and some new expansion packs.

What I really would like to see in Dimension Pro is disk streaming for big files like Pianos etc. Otherwise I like it lot and use it very often.

The ability to open other sample formats and sample other synths like extreme sample converter does

it converts to SFZ from other formats , so dunno what you mean ?!?! (obv. you have to make a prog. from that) the chicken system one sadly confirms to the later revision of SFZ by others = not exact

Love - LOVE - Dim Pro. Even though my machine is getting a bit old, I find it can handle many instances of Dim Pro. As far as wish list is concerned, I would like a better patch browser -- especially a way to sort patches differently. Custom folders? Patch ratings? (It would be great to see all of my 5-star first, then 4-star, etc.) Listen to the music in my sig - almost all instruments are Dim Pro.

the cakewalk patch browsers have been a pain for me, esp. with using NI kore.. other things conform to the fxp etc standard.

Can you splain this more? I have some Halion samples I want to convert. It is sad that the CW dudes have not seen fit to create a reasonable converter, given the degree they were involved with creating/standardizing the format. And the easier it is to convert the more the format becomes popular, and hence DP,... would find an expanded market.

I know I am! Definitely looking forward to a version 2 of Dimension Pro. It could use a new look/revamping, one of them being the browser (which is a pain in the royal). I really think it's about time. z3ta 2 is awesome! but don't stop there... do that same thing with Dimension Pro.

I'd love to see an update to Dimension Pro but I am not holding my breath. I think Cakewalk is really focused on getting new content for Sonar to bloat it up more so than updating old software like Dimension Pro. This is why I buckled down and just bought Kontakt. Everyone makes their sounds for Kontakt and it is the industry standard even if its not my favorite tool. I also use Sampletank quite a bit and I am ready for Sampletank 3 as well

I would say from a business prospective it's going to hard for any one to go up against Kontakt. Motu MachFive is about the only thing offering them a challenge at the moment. Maybe Magix will do something now they have bought Independence.
If there is going to be a next generation of Dimension Pro it should have (IMHO).
Scripting.
Key-switching
Graphical sample mapping for users to create their own instruments easily.
Involvement of third party content developers, and more than just DSF.
Where Kontakt wins hands down at the moment is not what NI puts out but the huge range of third party content from the free and the whacky to the expensive and the sublime. Cakewalk working with the likes of Orange Tree, Hollow Sun, Boulder Sounds and Sound Iron, there is an interesting concept!

Scripting is the key. One of the things that draws the third party devs in the first place is the possibilities scripting offers. You couldn't even have something like Hollow Sun MLM series without scripting.

Why does it have 'Pro' in its name while Rapture doesn't? I like just 'Dimension.'

History. The original Dimension came out in 2005 w P5v2. It had fewer samples and probably fewer features.

Yes Sir...This is a request I have had since day one... Dime Pro would be close to perfect if it also had the option to stream samples... We might get there soon though with ARIA and sforzando both being able to stream samples with the Giga technology that is in the Garritan stable now .. Rapture and Dime Pro have the synth components which offer greater manipulation,so some samples would be better to load into those engines.. The other request I would make for both Rapture and Dime Pro is an improved DSP section and upgraded effects.. I would love to get rid of Kontakt because I think that the sound engine sucks and I'm hoping that Dime Pro II will give me the options I need to finally give Kontakt the boot

Just out of curiosity, seeing all the ideas for things you'd like to see - have any or all of you who want particular features to be added to DimPro gone ahead and submitted a "Feature Request" for those things to CW? You know, the one that's found on this website, in the Contacts page under Support.

We're just hoping that the mechanics at Cakewalk are reading these posts assiduously and then rushing back to the ovens for the night shift and baking the cakes just the way we want them It's teamwork here...we tell them what we want and they do it ! 
Sorry - I don't use Autotune :)

While we're waiting for Cakewalk to update it, is there any alternative for Mac users working on Lion or Mountain Lion? I can't get my DimPro to install on my new Mountain Lion mac and I have a heavy investment in the Dimension Pro expansion packs that I would like to use. Do other samplers import or play the DimPro format files?

I would like to see this added to Dim pro 2
1. simple ADSR knob option.
2. ability to map your own samples
3. better build in effects
4. better or more flexible midi controller mapping
5. Ability to set up loop points
