Rapture add on

LANEY


Has anyone bought the new Rapture add-on?  If so how does it sound? The demos sound sweet but I want an actual customers opinion.

Thanks,

Do you mean the new sound set from fr4ncisco, chad and b-rock priced at $39?  If so, yeah, it does sound sweet.  I plan to pick it up at some point ... maybe this weekend.  I'll report back when I have something to report.

Check it out.

Yes that is the one $39!!

I can't speak much as I'm obviously biased, but I'm quite proud of this

The demo songs are 100% Rapture except drums and Dimension Pro guitar power chords only in the song From71to97 (my personal rendition of two classic sounds, you'll spot them easily)

Hope you'll enjoy this pack


ciao

Fr4ncesco,

    I bought it and LOVE it.   These sounds are worth more than $40 dollars.  Thanks for the info on the demo, so many times you here a demo and then find out they were using other stuff.  There is a lot you can do with these sounds with the multi-patterns and all.  
I stayed up too late playing with all these sounds!

Great job

Hey Laney,

Thanks for your interest.  I've received quite a few emails of user comments.  I'll ask them if I can post them somewhere.

Our b-rock made a commercial expansion pack?!! That's cool. I'll support b-rock, as he gave us some nice free presets, too! Where's the link to this commercial expansion pack? Can somebody post it?

The one and only brock.   ;)

All of the demo songs are 100% Rapture Sounds from the expansion pack for all material except for drums.  There are more details on the soundcloud pages for each track, but those don't appear with the embedded player.  I'm glad you discovered the pack and are happy with it.  :) 

My opinion is also biased, but fr4ncesco did an amazing job with the new Programs.  For anyone else that is interested there is a pdf manual that you can download here:   U120 Manual

It contains mini brief tutorials on how to best utilize the SG, EG presets, and the custom LFO waveforms.  Let me know if you have any more questions on the pack, audio demos, program/file lists, ect. 

very very happy with these new programs for Rapture!  some of them i had to quite literally peel myself away from in order to try out the next one . . .
on a side note, i think it's getting to the point where Rapture needs some sort of Kore-like library (with categories and stars and colors!)

That's a pretty good guitar sound on the first track.

should be in "software"

Hi

It would be nice if it installed correctly  I've made a post about installing on dual Sonar 32/64-bit systems.

But yeah it's a good expansion pack. And only £29 in the UK. For once Cakewalk aren't overcharging the Brits 

If you have both 32- and 64-bit Rapture installed, the pack only installs to the 64-bit version, and is unavailable in the 32-bit version. Copying a couple of folders fixes it.

I've had the same problem before with other expansion packs.

Cheers, John

Thanks Chad.

Installers have a hard job to do in the first place, what with all the possible different configurations people can have. And, as you've correctly ascertained from my posts, my system is a little bit wobbly - I'm not sure I could expect an installer to work that out.

That made my day.  A positive review from someone who really gets the whole concept behind U120.  Thanks to Jeffrey Powell for taking the time to dive in and explore the depths.
