Is Cakewalk ever going to update Rapture?

Despite being sold as a super modern plugin it's been in the doldrums for years with no support or development. In particular it's not supported for modern Macs which is a real pain. It sorely needs an update  - why is it so neglected?

Although not the most powerful SW synthesizer, I believe that Rapture is both a classic and a work of genius, both for quality of sound, and a feature set that is wisely selected and makes Rapture very easy to use. I have mixed feelings about Cakewalk "improving" it. However, features that I could use are free-running LFO's and envelopes to control the X/Y pad.

Yea, an update wouldn't hurt tho I don't use a mac.  Cake did a good job with Z3TA 2, but I wouldn't want them to go whole hog unless they added something like a granular engine.  But definately expansion packs. As w/ any rompler, new programs and sounds are like an update.

Lack of Mac support beyond 10.6.8 is a real shame, cuz Rapture and Dim Pro are both excellent low-cost solutions, IMO, especially Rapture, which I always had a thing for... I don't care how good the latest compressor FX are reported to be, etc., I refuse to get sucked into cake's lack of commitment to mac, as demonstrated by Rapture and DimPro end-of-life (for no good reason, as far as I'm concerned), and will not be buying any cake synths and FX. I did snag zeta 2 for a cheap upgrade price, but I won't be using it, unfortunately. I'm x-platform at this point, just cuz I love me some MacBook Pro, and I need my software vendors who purport to support both platforms to actually demonstrate commitment to such.  

did ya put in a feature request, my old friend ? :-)

would be nice to add other synths or add filters that are higher quality. 

I am about to explore the possibility of using these resources like wavetables, samples and sfz'z in other synths like synthmaster which really has some nice features and is continually being updated and it is cheap. 

I just figured out how to add the sonatina symphony orchestra samples into dim pro so now I am getting more ambitious.

Not sure if the cake boys have kept an eye on what Bulent is doing but he seems to have created about the most useful synth out there. Nori one of the sound designers has actually created presets that sound exactly like those used by bands such as YES, Pink Floyd, ELP, King Crimson, Genesis and many others. To me that is totally freaking awesome especially since I love classic progressive rock and it is my favorite old music to listen to. 

I do want to get the architecture and piscis add ons from Galbanum and that preset package fr4ncesco put out a while back sounds good as well but I am always curious about the usage of one synths resources in another synth and then making use of various layers using multiple synths at the same time. Its almost like modular synthesis with modules from different companies being compatible with each other.

 We could theoretically even use Z3ta and its filters as FX of course synthmaster can also be used as an effect in a similar manner. Lots of possibilities to explore when you look at it this way, If CAKE were to buy another company that would be one to go after.
