How To Find Sound Types?
I'm currently searching thru the Rapture library as I hunt for a "plunk" sound I can play melodically.... Like a water dropping into a pool?
Very painstaking... Isn't there any easier way yet?
Thanks...
Keni

Searching for a patch can be tedious. One thing that helps me is using Windows search in "c:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Rapture\Programs". Note: "c:\ProgramData" is a hidden directory.

Sidenote. I've tried to move the PROG's elsewhere, but even with a documented reg hack still can't get it to work.

Thanks... I know where it is and I'll try that... Here's hoping there are names that reflect my description! ;-) Somewhere I remember having some 3rd party program... Doctor or professor something.... It was supposed to help with this kind of stuff? Back to one-by-one loading/listening... Keni

I might be wrong, but I thought one of Panu's mods included an intelligent patch browser for Dim Pro.

don't bother with reg hacks, move the programs folder to the location you want then open a command prompt and navigate to c:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Rapture\ and type mklink /j "Programs" "<location where you moved the folder>". then run rapture and refresh the browser.

Fair point but when you are upgrading etc whatever is written in the registry is observed, certainly an excellent intermit solution though which I might just use.

this is the easiest, because i have moved locations between hard drives a couple of times, so all i need to do is rebuild the links to the new location.

Interesting...
I guess you had reason/need to move them...
My problem is not having a search that understands "sound "types""...
But as in the past, I rampaged through patch after patch until I stumbled on something that had a similar character to what I'm looking for and then edit/modified the sound as well as I could...
I got something that I think works.... time will tell and if needed I will look more...
Too bad there's still no way to deal with this...
Or is there?
I do recall that Panu added a number of abilities to the Browser... that might help, but..........
Thanks again...
Keni

Rapture (and Dim pro) don't provide metadata/tagged based searching unfortunately. Omnisphere and Alchemy amongst others do a much better job of providing the type of searching you're looking for. I was going to suggest a filename search to see if that threw up anything, I'd probably limit myself to the Keys category too for that type of sound.
On a related note, I've got a duplicate of all rapture patches under c:\users\all users\... as well as c:\programdata\... What's up with that?

The original location for rapture programs was in "All Users" in "Documents and Settings" on XP. I would guess the PC was upgraded at some point in time. The all users Rapture data can probably be safely deleted. May want to move or rename it first and test to be sure.

The machine was XP originally, but I did a clean install of 7 rather than upgrade from XP (i.e. formatted the hard drive). The installer must have put the files there under Windows 7 at some point for some reason. I'll try moving them out of the way, it'd be good to get the space back (running close to the edge on my system drive now...)
