Title says it all.  I wish I had bought it 3 years ago when it was announced.  Now it's not available.

That is a question for the folks at BandLab. Meng does look at the forums here, so perhaps he will see this and reply. I have to say, I like the Rapture instruments so I hope so.
 
I even like the Dimension Instruments, too.

I don't see why not. Bandlab bought all Cakewalk IP so that would include Rapture. Nothing is for sale at the moment, but when they get all that online again I imagine everything by Cakewalk that was for sale before will be again. I shouldn't imagine they would drop any products.

I'd assume the same; it's not locked to SONAR and is a popular product beyond the SONAR community, so it's worth money to BandLab. However, I am also assuming that Rapture falls within the Cakewalk IP. AFAIK it does.

I look at Rapture Pro as an amalgamation and consolidation of Rapture and Dimension Pro. So I don't think will see Dimension again.
 
I like Rapture Pro, it sounds good and is straight forwards to use and get good results. I particularly like the modulation matrix, it's tidy and an intuitive. I think it's make over looks good and clean and modern too. Persnay I'd like to see a mechanism for dropping your own samplers in it, and making it s making it a true sampler  BUt depite my own wishes it seems a product that can jut be released as is and will sell, and make the company look good.
 
I never  got  int Z3TA, but a while back you'd see it on  'Top Synths' lists and seems well rated. It seems really capable of more aggressive sounds. It's last makeover was 7 years ago now. If they sell it it would need to be really cheap. So I wounder if it would be better ff being held off BandLabs product list and released later as Z3TA3 after another face lift but with some extra magic under the hood to make it current again.

Yes, Rapture Pro has a home with us too! Unfortunately it doesn't have priority over TDFKAS right now but it is very high up on the list.

Sweet!

Thanks Meng!
I've been hoping this to be true as I hadn't yet managed the upgrade from Rapture Pro Session, but I do have full Rapture and Dimension Pro...

Hi Meng, when using soft synths I use Rapture Pro 95% of the time. Very nice machine.

Cool, Meng.  Excellent.

Rapture Pro is a very underrated synth and does things no other synth can do, so I'm glad to hear it will have a home. Perhaps then more people, not just Cakewalkers, will be able to find out how useful it is.
 
I do hope the loose end where it loses multisamples, even if they're in the correct multisamples folder, gets fixed. Kontakt does this well - if it can't find the samples, you tell it where it should look - problem solved. Also the amplitude envelopes are really unpredictable. Aside from those issues, it's a very coo instrument.
