The "sample search” overlay would be a nice addition to all the VSTs that work with samples, as well as for the DAW itself. There are a lot of instances where the user is left with simply ”*.wav cannot be found," but actually looking for them (all) would be useful... i.e., not just as a one-by-one, but to go get everything not found in one pass.

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.

Yeah, and they also let you put a directory to search in, and it will find anything in that directory or its subdirectory.  If you had the time, I suppose you could just specify the root of your sample drive and it would work.

yeah please, working on a bank just now, not using any custom waves, just the multi samples that are there, hope that has less issues
 

Yea, Rapt Pro is a good one.  After losing authorization I deleted and then downloaded it again from CC.  Works better than it did before, tho it still loses multisamples.  Even tho it ain't getting worked on (yet!) I"d love to see a "performance pad" a la Alchemy added that is as nice for touchscreen work, and a big ole number somewhere on the element that is in focus.

+1 as one of the folks who would want another crack at getting Rapture Pro!

I even like the Dimension Instruments, too.

 
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.

 It would be a virtual sin not to be selling Rapture Pro anymore. And the separate VST versions LP EQ and LP Multiband Compressor, and Adaptive Limiter are excellent and powerful tools for any DAW.
 I would imagine the standard version of Rapture should be a shoe in for Bandlab,considering it already runs on an iPhone.
 
You CAN already record and make your own samples with Rapture Pro. Instructions are in the Help/user manual files.
 Being Rapture Pro supports all Dimension Pro patches, you can also greatly expand your sample library @ DigitalSoundFactory.com. 

it really needs all parameters as a modulation destinations

I haven't looked at Alchemy recently, but the Instrument screen in Rapture Pro does have a couple X/Y pads, a vector mixer, and eight macro knobs; is this similar to Alchemy's "performance pad"?

This is great news !  For those who haven't tried out the new BandLab Cakewalk, my initial experience has been a great one.  I had been using Platinum since buying the 'lifetime' subscription, and so far there is absolutely no difference running the BandLab iteration.  It even downloads and installs quicker, with no licensing issue to worry about.  All of my plugs are showing up and working, the only caveat is that there are a few in weird locations which I will have to rescan.  Thank you BandLab for resurrecting Cakewalk.  This is beyond my wildest expectation.

I am so glad that Cakewalk Rapture Pro has a good chance of living on.  I LOVE this plugin so much!
