Pre-order Rapture Pro
Seems Omni Kontakt hybrid-ish. Its $79 for Platinum, $99 otherwise. From youtube description: Introducing Rapture Pro
Rapture Pro is the most advanced synth Cakewalk has ever produced - combining algorithmic and sample-based synthesis in an intuitive design for musicians of any skill level. It delivers the best parts of Dimension Pro and Rapture in one instrument, perfect for your studio or live setup. Rapture Pro includes nearly 1,000 new sounds that span all music genres, and also loads every legacy sound and sample from its predecessors.
Rapture Pro is designed to adapt to your personal workflow. Composers can easily find and preview commercial-ready sounds by top designers in an intuitive new Browser. Performers can move from studio to stage with Rapture Pro's new instrument page - a dedicated view with fast, efficient controller mapping for real-time expressiveness. And sound designers can create a signature sound with Rapture Pro's Edit mode - which features extensive layering and mixing capabilities that let you stand out from the crowd.
What's New in Rapture Pro
The ultimate fusion - layer synth sounds with real-life instruments
Redesigned UI - Bigger, cleaner, and more organized
Master your sounds with the improved Mixer Page
Dedicated Browser page for finding sounds quickly

Hopefully it means an end to the silent treatment. Would someone test it and drive it hard and tell me if you have to close and reopen sonar to recover? I think this is an addition I'm going to be willing to pay for.

This looks like Dim Pro and Rapture combined using the Z3TA+2 interface. I will only buy this if they hand out regular services releases (like they didn't with earlier versions). Having said that $79 so will probably wait for sale..

Rapture and Dimension Pro combined but with an adaptive workflow and GUI along with new sounds and features. The GUI has also been redesigned and adapts depending on what you are doing (composition, live performance, sound design).
Check out the web pages and sound examples. Very powerful synth and we are excited to finally announce it.

Very interesting. The evolution continues. I have enjoyed using Rapture and DimPro for several years. Similar, yet different, a melding of the two seems a natural direction. Will it support previously installed Rapture/DimPro libraries?

BTW I am hoping with this we FINALLY get control of where we put our sample files in a settings section?
This and a stated bugfix policy will definitely make me consider buying it tomorrow (thinking about it)..

There's an introductory upgrade offer for $99. If you own SONAR Platinum, it will be $79. You can keep your existing Rapture and Dimension Pro. Expansion Packs you purchased for them will be compatible with Rapture Pro along with the existing factory content that shipped with them.

Seems Omni Kontakt hybrid-ish. Lets hope it in the next update. edit: Its $79 for Platinum, $99 otherwise. I think with Omni 2 being released Ill stick with that upgrade.
I like that they are doing this but I'm at the point I don't need another synth in my life.

Nor do I to be honest - however backwards compatibility with Dim Pro, Rapture, a settings section where I can put all the sample files where I like (nobody has confirmed this) and a support policy (not confirmed either) will make me fork out for sure as it will make my life simpler. I'm looking to completely replace Dim Pro and Rapture which I use a lot with a fully supported product that has more flexibility in file management. I wonder if there will be a manual available to download?

Awesomeness, although not really a 'Synthy' person, more Hard Rock type stuff, I have always used and loved Dim Pro, Rapture and Z3TA, and have been recently experimenting with styles outside my comfort zone, and incorporating synths etc, and recently purchased a couple of other amazing synths, Synthmaster and Serum. $79 (make that $120ish AUD) for Rapture Pro seems like a steal. Show me when and where the button is I need to press, and I wont even blink. Excellent news

Whaaaaaaaat? Rapture is one of my fave synths! I think I use it on everything. In fact, I just installed Komplete and go so damned bored loading Massive and Absynth presets that I fired up Rapture and was off and running almost instantly.
And I pretty much use DimPro in everything I do too, it's a great go-to faux-Rompler. Combining the two? I'm only slightly dubious of trying to make a "it does everything!" synth, but the ingredients are great and the price is killer. I'm in!

Shut The Front Door! This is exciting. I don't 'need' it ... but know resistance is futile. B(En Canti)l is pretty extreme as the primary marketing push (I do have the first 3 Z3TA Mutant Packs - undoubtably talented), but no doubt targeting and gaining the attention of today's youth. I'll be keeping a particular ear out for his/other designer's more downtempo offerings ala FiSound and Galbanum packs - effective use modulation velocities and aftertouch. (Some nice stuff in the demo track, a fate resigned reflection, speared atop Satan's horns). I do think it's important to get the message across that this is more than just a dubstep / electronica machine. You are missing a brass section in your sound examples :P. Well done Bakers. (Agreed on the Aussie dollar @Mudgel). [EDIT]: 10GB - impressive.

Presale Q's: - As already asked, does RP installation provide complete flexibility for application and content locations? - The product page has Win8.1 with an asterisk and a footnote that says to install via CCC. Is installation outside of CCC supported for Win8.1? - Does the content provided with RP include the factory DP and Rapture Classic libraries?

I may have to wait this one out till someone posts a video run of it. That marketing video raises more questions than answers for me (roughly 1/3 showed the product at all), and a (potential) new user would just get lost.

Um, we posted this late last night and these questions are just popping up now. You really need to give us more than like 45 minutes to answer questions before you start jumping to conclusions. I'll try to get more definitive answers for you soon.

The video is designed to be a little teaser, not to answer every question about the program. The web pages went up today as well and they have more information. We'll be releasing more information in the coming weeks as well. This was a Musikmesse announcement.

This looks interesting. I've always wondered about the DimPro/Rapt model - using the same synth engine (basically) but two different sound sets. Now the synths are combined and hopefully the libraries, too - along with SFZ files I've picked up.
It is too early for users to tell about CCC and file situations, tho. It ain't released yet, Cake (like everyone else) doesn't answer tech questions about an unreleased product (well, maybe a day or two early) and beta testers can't and, like cake employees, have no idea what the final product will be able to include. As I recall from Rapt release, a lot of that had to do w/ MS structure.
But I like the X-y pads, and the VS mixer looks tré cool. Perfect for touch screens.

I'm looking forward to this. I use Dim Pro and Rapture a lot, but always thought their browsers to be the weakest link. Also intrigued by the idea of combining both the sound sets, I think it will be easier to use overall.
