I installed this update, but now I am sorry I did. Now Rapture Pro doesn't work at all! No sound at all!
In the previous version, the first time I tried Rapture Pro, I was only getting intermitant sounds. It was skipping some notes. And then I got a message about it running in demo mode and that it would drop notes. It said to open the command center so that it would run in real mode. I did that and then it started working and sounded great. Amazing really. But now the song I just completed has no music; just drums. The drums were created with session drummer. Everything else was created using Rapture Pro.
 
I even tried reinstalling Rapture Pro. Didn't help.
 
I tried create a new test song. Dimension Pro worked OK. Rapture Lite worked OK. But Rapture Pro gives absolutely no sound.
 
I'm about to ask for a refund on Rapture Pro. It sounds really good WHEN it works.
 
Wonderful update so far!

Does Rapture Pro work correctly as standalone ?
 
Do you have another DAW you could try it in as a vsti ?

Well, I reinstalled the entire Rapture Pro package for all the good it did. No sound whatever. I even tried various instruments.
 
I saw some other posts where people had issues before because some of parts weren't installed where they needed to be. But my original install was via the Command Center and so was the re-install.
 
It's not exactly a picnic installing through the Command Center. There doesn't appear to be a was to select the entire Rapture Pro package. And after each piece installs, it has to check all your products for updates even though it just checked for them a few minutes ago.

Sorry your response wasn't there were I replied to my own post.
 
I don't know how to try it as a stand alone.
 
I'm not sure what a DAW is either. But I'll check the internet.
 
I normally just add a soft synth and then open it and choose an instrument and use the staff or piano views to enter my songs. This works for Dimension Pro and Rapture LE and worked for Rapture Pro too until I updated. I haven't had Rapture Pro long and the song I just did was the first time I used it.

I have Rapture Pro and I also installed the latest update (Manchester).  I don't seem to be having a problem at all with Rapture Pro.  It opens with no problem.  I have sound,  and I can sequence it inside of Sonar and my other DAWs.

No, I don't have a DAW.
 
If you mean by stand alone, clicking on the Rapture Pro icon and then loading an instrument and then clicking on the keyboard at the bottom...then no there is no sound there either. But there is no sound in Rapture Session when I try it that way either. But Rapture session (is this the LE?) works OK in Sonar Professional.

Sonar is a DAW, say you might have REAPER or something else.
You should have a shortcut to the standalone, but if not you can go to (depending your installation)
C\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Rapture Pro\Rapture Pro_64.exe
Right click on that and choose Send to - Desktop (Create Shortcut)
 
I can't recall whether or not installing the standalone was an option, so if it was and you never selected it, you won't have it.

I have the shortcut and I opened it and I load an instrument and then clicked on the keyboard at the bottom but didn't hear any sound. The keys looked like they were presses though.

I have an icon for rapture session too. Tried it the same way. But no sound. Rapture session works in sonar though.

Maybe it's still running in demo mode and the trial period I over. Would that make it have no sound? I own it though. I have a serial number. Had it when I installed through the command center. But the other day it said it was running in demo and to open the command center to activate. I did that. Haven't seen that message since.
