Hi - I've found a great sound in Rapture LE which I'm trying to record but once recording starts the sound fragments and I can't reproduce it. I'm using a midi track, keyboard is a Roland SH201, into Rapture LE on a Sonar LE 8.5 platform. Other sounds I've set down have been fine. Any ideas please? Is it latency, is it quantisation, is it me? Thanks.

Try recording the midi with another synth and then copy/paste to Rapture.  Freeze the track - which is a non-realtime operation.  It sounds like you are overstressing your system w/ Rapture inline.

Thanks AT. In hindsight what I should have said is the sound fragments as soon as I enter recording mode as opposed  to playback after recording ---- if that makes sense.... Thanks again.

Rapture itself starts to "fragment" when in recording mode?  It plays fine in play mode (including after recording it)?  strange.  Give us your specs - computer, card, DAW, etc.

Hi AT - yep - as soon as I press Record the particular midi sound I'm trying to record changes and I can't replicate it. If I come out of Record then I get the sound back. It's really weird because I'm having great fun with other stuff without a problem (and more complex, layered sounds). I'm using a Packard Bell with shed loads of memory, Windows 7 and ASIO sound card. Maybe it's just me and my understanding of what I can and can't do. The particular 'record' I'm trying to get is part of a sound called Massive Sine Invasion. I can hammer on hammer off and get a really nice short sequence but as soon as I arm the track I can't get it..... Anyway thanks again.
