R-Pro looks like a great instrument, and I'd normally be all over it. But the number of ongoing problems with installation, absent samples and prograams and so on have made me leery.
 
Does this synth actually work as well as it should? Is there anyone out there who has installed it with few or no problems and gets to use it as advertized? What chance do I have of installing it without any problems and using it without significant problems?
 
Please, let me hear your opinions (about the synth, please).

I use it and like it.

Try the demo http://www.cakewalk.com/P..cts/Rapture/Try-Rapture

I've thought of trying the demo, but I'm afraid it might mess up my large volume of DimPro programs.

RPro does nothing to existing DPro data. The full RPro installer copies the DPro program files into the RPro program location but leaves DPro alone. The RPro installer also reads the DPro registry entries and adds the appropriate parts to the RPro registry entry so RPro can play DPro samples.

I didn't jump on it right away, I waited until most of the problems were resolved. I haven't had any problems and it works fine for me. The only complaint I have is I seem to have a lot of copies of samples. DPro, Session Pro, and RPro - not a big deal.
 

It is possible to run DPro and RPro off the same multisamples folder. This may be done with either a registry edit or directory junction.

I'll look into that.

Hi,
Purchased it and installed it yesterday. Spent last night into the wee hours playing with it (Oooooh errrr Mrs.  (Sorry British Joke)). Have to say, everything I clicked on was great. Much fun to play with it. The only thing I could fault was the lack of a single bowed violin or fiddle; but that just may have been me...
 
I'm not the most experienced Synth player, my only real experience is my Korg Microsynth which has all the elements of this but a lousy interface. This seems much easier and therefore a load more fun.
 
Haven't noticed any buggy behaviour with the exception that playing it outside sonar with an external midi keyboard, the computer keyboard also plays notes as well as typing. I'll have to get to the bottom of that but it isn't a problem and may even be an aid...(Don't know yet). No problems with either the download of the installation. Maybe I am lucky if you say its been a problem for others.
 
If it helps I a, running it on 6gBit on an AMD quad core 4300 processor at 3.8 Ghz with 8GB of Memory and an SSD hard drive.
 
Perhaps it is time for you to jump in and test the water?
 
Best Regards
