  • Craig Anderton's guitar for Rapture and Rapture LE

I recently purchased Craig Anderton's guitar for Rapture and Rapture LE.
Although I have both versions of Rapture installed on my computer, the software seems to have installed only on Rapture.
Also, when I want to use the software there are slew of sounds that seem unavailable. I get the following messages:
SC01 wav, SC02 wav or SC03 wav,
octave loops G 2 wav
multisample not found.
 
A) Is it normal that the software installed only on one version of Rapture?
 
B) What did I do wrong for these error messages to appear or could it be something with my computer?
 
Thank you in advance for your replies and support.

I'm very sorry to hear you've having these problems. I don't think you did anything wrong, nor is there something wrong with your computer. The way Rapture and Dimension Pro deal with file paths to samples and programs has always mystified me (Rapture Pro doesn't really clean this up, but at least unifies everything in one place).
 
I've changed the file paths in my system to custom assignments so I can't tell you what the "default" is. Hopefully scook will weigh in as he has solved this kind of problem before. Meanwhile, do a search on the missing files to find out where they ended up.
 
Also note that Electronic Guitars has four custom LFOs. They should install okay if you don't install additional expansion packs that overwrite it later. If all else fails, a quick call to tech support may be in order.

Thanks Craig for the confidence. I have not seen a Rapture LE installation in some time and your Guitar package is one of the few Rapture packages I do not have. Both Rapture and Rapture LE rely on the registry to determine where samples are found. If the registry entries point to the same locations then they will work from the same data.
 
The 64bit Rapture registry entries are in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\rp
 
I would guess there is a similar entry for LE, instead of rp probably rple (if it is similar to the DPro layout which I did find a reference to in another post).
 
By default the samples should be in the Multisamples folder in the path pointed to by the "Contents Folder" in the above registry entries. This can be overridden if there is a "Multisamples Folder" in the same registry entry. In that case the Multisamples folder would be under the path specified in it. For example, the default Rapture "Contents Folder" is C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Rapture. This makes the default location for the samples C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Rapture\Multisamples. If there is a "Multisamples Folder" entry in the registry, say D:\Cakewalk\Rapture; then the samples would be in the path D:\Cakewalk\Rapture\Multisamples. From there, most packages install their samples is a folder below the Multisamples folder.
 
The program location is hard-coded in Rapture and I would assume it is the same in Rapture LE. While I have found a post which suggests there might be a different path for LE, the instructions I found for free programs from Cakewalk indicate they both use C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Rapture\Programs as the program path. If they do use the same path, then they would share a common programs.lst file (the index used to create the program list in the Rapture and RaptureLE browser).
 
I know this is not much help, at least it does not provide a simple "there's the problem" answer. It is difficult without first hand knowledge of the package and where the plug-ins are looking for data.

"not much help"?
 
Steve, don't be so humble - your posts are always enlightening, relevant and straight to the point.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I often wonder if you have time to make music

It is a fact, I do not play as much now but I do play as much as I want.
