Rapture Pro - no sound! (and misc other things)

First off, like subject says, not getting any sound of Rapture Pro. MIDI meters are bouncing just fine, but now output from Rapture. Other synths work fine and everything is routed properly.
 
As for the other things, they're oft repeated but here they are (so far):

• Long load time for synth. Like, a Loooooooong time. SONAR went all ghostly and looked like it might crash before it finally popped up.
• Browser size, mentioned before, but sheesh please make it pop out next update or some such. Especially because the Bank pix are so dang huge
• Speaking of which, I'd love it if the "Expansion Pack" and what the pack is were reversed. I don't need to see "EXPANSION PACK" so large to know it's not the factory library. Knowing WHAT it is however is of paramount importance. A text only view would be great too.

But these are mostly moot, since my real problem is not getting any sound out of the instrument. 
 

Stand alone doesn't work for me either, but the plug in is fine. Can't get it to talk to my soundcard. (Also a Roland)

We are all waiting on the RP update.

The rapture silent treatment may be a decade old.

There's a bunch of stuff in the oven now, so stay tuned for the coming update. As Andrew mentioned in the Command Center update thread, "available in early June".

Are you experiencing no sound with RapPro as a plugin or stand alone? For me, the VST and VST3 plugs work fine (I have only installed 64-bit), but I get no sound if I use the stand-alone exe wrapper. I have a feeling this is to do with its attempting to re-set my Roland UA-22 sample rate and merely locking it up instead. I doubt I'll spend much time trying to get it to work as RapPro does not seem to offer much that's compelling.

There is a known issue with the microhost where some Roland drivers don't output properly. As the microhost requires an ASIO driver, you can always try ASIO4ALL. 

For anyone with sample rate mismatches between Rapture/Rapture Pro/Dim Pro and their desired project sample rate, I am pasting some micro host 'hot keys' you can use to alter any of the above synths (load the desired synth and then use the hotkeys from the list below):

Whoah, activity!
 
For me, it's as a plugin, but I saw in passing that using the VST3 plugin was what caused a ton of probz, I haven't come back around to verify that yet.
