Hi, J.
 
There is a combo of scheming, learnin' and a bit of too busy/"lazy" to make the jump right away.
 
What I REALLY want to do is setup a separate partition on my C drive to install Win10 on (and all my music gack) so I can test it all out/switch back and forth and so on.
 
Probably sounds nuts but I actually want to keep both active for some study/tutorial type stuff I'm planning.
 
Glad to hear it's working well for you though. I know you were getting bonked up on occasion previously but you certainly sound like a happy camper now.
 
Cheers and thanks.

 
Join the nuts brigade, that's what I do.
The main thing to remember is when making a new windows 10 OS partition for dual boot, that you install a previous version of windows first for it to upgrade upon.

Google "site:forum.Cakewalk.com Dimension Pro Samples registry" I am on my phone now, but the pointer to the DP samples is a registry entry. You can edit that path and move the 6GB sample directory to another drive (same new path).

There were a few posts detailing how to do this.

As regards Rapture Session, will the CCC download force all 4GB of the content onto the C drive, as it does with Dim Pro?  I would like to download it, but cannot do so if it is going to have to be on my C drive, which has limited space.  I would much rather have it on the drive I use for samples/content, but the CCC doesn't seem to allow this.
 
If that is still the case, it really needs to be fixed.  I don't use Dim Pro anymore because of this.  If it is possible to reroute the sample content, please let me know how.
 
Thanks!

I keep all my samples for Cakewalk instruments on a separate drive. The five Rapture Session sample libraries for different instruments can be downloaded individually to the C drive, moved to a different drive, and then you can use the mklink symbolic link command or a registry entry to "point" the instrument to the new sample location. 
 
 

I queried about Rap Pro file path management before it even got released. Never got an answer so I just took the risk thinking it must have been sorted out, it's just too obvious not to. I was wrong. Sadly lessons were not learned from Dim Pro and Rapture days, I would regard file path management in settings as a basic feature in the UI nowadays, esp when you look at other products. You can hack the registry (if you are brave), or mklink (if you are into spaghetti snakes and ladders). It's a bit like Linux in 1990.. Anyways... even if you do all that it's still a mess.

We were promised another RP service pack a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, sadly has still not materialised. Instead we see this 'give away' (not clear if there are exclusive features with this or not) which was not announced at launch time, would have been nice to know back then this would happen . Well whatever. Not against this cut down version of Rap Pro but paid Rap Pro customers appear to be forgotten about. If they haven't been forgotten, then the wait time is unacceptable. Ta.

SPOILER ALERT: Han Solo will soon verify "It's all true... the [registry hacks required], the [workarounds necessary],... it's all true."
 
On a serious note, in the registry, this path on the left pane:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\dp
 
has a string value on the right pane called "Multisamples Folder" - if you right click that, you can "Modify..." that to a different path. If you move the "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples" folder to another drive, the new entry should be the new path before the \Multisamples (in this case the "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro" which is the default)
 
What that entry does is give the path to Dimension Pro's internal browser window when it opens.
 
A simpler, more elegant "solution" would be to allow the user to use DP's browser window to navigate out of its "registry leash" and allow the user to assign a new (default) folder there, but that would require DP to be modified, which is unlikely.

Oh but the Rapture Pro force is strong. Patience...it's coming soon.

Sure would be nice if the installer provided an option to choose the install location. Although I'm an active fan of the Cakewalk team and the product improvements, I can't understand why this isn't basic functionality put into all Cakewalk products as a basic install option. This is standard practice for installers of any product.

The work around is asking too much of us.

In all fairness, while I enjoy the monthly "goodies", it's the maintenance updates, and transparency of issues addressed, which allow me to troubleshoot system discrepancies. I'm not a huge fan of bloat, but everyone likes new toys. I appreciate the listing posted in each update regarding functional program improvements and send the unsung programmers my regards.

Yes, it certainly would...but meanwhile, there's a solution. Do it once, and you never have to think about it again.

These aren't the......




...Never mind...

Tab to Transients is continuing to not work properly (late or wrong detction)... Thx for this bunch of fixes ;)

You have been warned!
 

^^^Yea, what he said^^^

to eliminating MIDI crosstalk once and for all

While I had read about this I had not encountered it until very recently. Some odd things seem to be happening with MIDI since recent updates. I intend to investigate further and create a problem report, but I will wait and see if Kingston fixes things.

Sorry for my English.
When finally comes an update to Novation Master keyboards and controllers ( for example, Novation Remote SL ).
Since the introduction of the Platinum program Sonar Software ( Novation ) no longer detected in the Configuration of Automap and VST instruments can no longer be controlled remotely in this Software.
Up to version Sonar X2 there were no problems!!!

Kein Problem. Für mich.
