Rapture Pro sound degrades after a few minutes



I first posted this in instruments but have had no joy in responses (as in no responses) for a couple of days, moved it here for more exposure.

When I first load a patch everything works fine but after a few minutes it starts to get distorted as the notes are played.  If I go reload the patch, it sounds right again.

Any one else experience this?  I have adjusted latency and buffers but to no avail.

    Is Rapture Pro actually activated? It sounds like you're running RP in demo mode.

    Absolutely activated.

    Only Rapture Pro?
     
    I believe RP uses the same sample set as DimPro. I do not have RP installed, so I don't know if this is possible, but what happens if you load the exact same sound in DimPro?
     
    Also, are all sounds affected? Grasping at straws here, because this sounds impossible, but I'm thinking in terms of long samples affecting memory leaks more quickly (but then there should have been an outcry by now) - or perhaps it's extending into higher memory and you have failing RAM?
     
    OK, I'm not even convincing myself here.
    I assume you checked the batteries?

    Thanks for the response.  I have suspended my quest for answers on the matter until I have finished my SSD system drive install and subsequent transfer of samples to a 3rd drive.

    Hopefully after getting SPLAT setup on a three drive system the problem will take care of itself.

    The first thing to try is increasing the latency to the max. What might be opening is that when you first start off, your computer can handle the existing latency setting. But then something else kicks in, something uses memory that doesn't get released, or whatever and pushes performance over the edge for the existing latency.
     
    Try it and circle back.
