I have, at least in my case, fixed the "no sound" problem in Rapture Pro.
I play in a band and we use minimal backing tracks - mostly drums and the odd guitar. I was trying to get RP to work using one of these tracks. At the start of the track were the 3 MIDI commands to change program;
Bank MSB,
Bank LSB,
Program Change.
Other plugin instruments just ignore these commands - EXS24, Kontakt, etc. I'm no expert with this kind of thing but if RP receives these commands it goes silent. There's no doubt a rational explanation for this which is beyond my limited MIDI knowledge.
Anyhow, I'm now enjoying RP and it no doubt will be very useful in musical endeavours other than pre-made backing.
