OK, I'm in.
 
So far so good ... the account info updated properly  :)

Right now for Rapture Pro on it's own (I don't see an upgrade price) it shows as $178.80 for me!
...... Was it something I said?

lol.. nice

Obviously somebody kicked the server... the price is now as expected...

I don't know about this one.  I haven't made my mind up.

Just Curious why Zeta+2 and Rapture Pro don't show up under connected products. 
 
Does this mean they can't be downloaded via the CCC?

I suspect Rapture Pro will show up under Connected Products in CCC when it is available to actually download.  I am hoping that Rapture Pro will show up at the same time as the April round of Sonar updates (Which I suspect is any time now)

For me, Rapture Pro does indeed show up at the "my products" page on Cakewalks website https://www.cakewalk.com/My-Account/Products

I have my fingers crossed hoping RP doesn't get anywhere near CCC ... or that it at least installs with fully flexible options outside of it.

The simplest way I see the installation process going in general is like this...
 
"I don't want to think, just install the thing" - use command center
"I want control over how I install" - install manually
"I've changed my mind" - move what command center installed

Did you add it your cart?

I have read this thread and have seen the question posed more then once as to whether the Rapture Pro resources can be installed at customer-preferred folder/locations. Unless I am missing something, I have not seen an answer to this question. So, I have the following questions:
 
1) Can the new Rapture Pro samples and presets be stored at customer-preferred locations?
 
2) Can Rapture Pro use existing presets and samples that have previously been installed at customer-preferred locations? (In this latter case, I recall having to edit the registry to accomplish the desired installation.)
 
I regret my negative tone, but I need another SW synthesizer like I need a hole in the head, so if installation is going to be another wrestling match like it was with the original Rapture and Dimension Pro, this will be enough to discourage me from purchasing it.

 
1) Yes, core installer allows you to choose your installation location for Multisamples for OS X and Windows. You will be able to see the core installer in Command Center (this will work differently than SONAR which silently installs everything) and you can pick your location.
 
2) Yes, in the registry, there is a new key for this specifically. Dimension Multisamples Path, and Rapture Multisamples Path are set by searching for previous registry entires, and then adding those values into the Rapture Pro registry key.

 
When the core installer is launched, if Rapture Classic and or Dimension Pro (LE, DPro, etc) is installed, Rapture Pro will copy their programs into the Rapture Pro Programs folder. So it will not break persistence with old projects, as Dimension Pro and or Rapture 1, will keep their paths. If a user wants to replace a Dimension or Rapture 1 instance in a project, they will have the legacy programs in order to do so.

Only the small .prog files, right, not the multisamples?

When I pre-ordered it, I also saw the initial full price of $178.80.  However, when I clicked on the Buy Now button, the discount was applied and I was only charged the reduced amount of $AU94.91.

As per post #213 - yup got it resolved.... thanks... Maybe I didn't add it to the cart first can't remember...
 
Not getting the actual price until you add it to the cart is heck of confusing isn't it?

I suspect it may lose a lot of sales for people who don't persist, or who don't read these forums?
They might look at the price, run away in fright straight to the Native Instruments site!!! (Not bothering to click on the button like perhaps I didn't).

If you log on to your cakewalk account and then go to the Cakewalk shop, the correct prices will show to reflect your eligibility to reduced pricing.

Mine didn't until I clicked the button to buy, then it updated at the payment choice screen automatically.
I think he was referring to the fact that in general people don't click a price they don't like.

There's a lot wrong with the store.  I hope things get fixed soon.
