I'm currently searching thru the Rapture library as I hunt for a "plunk" sound I can play melodically.... Like a water dropping into a pool?
 
Very painstaking... Isn't there any easier way yet?
 
Thanks...

Searching for a patch can be tedious. One thing that helps me is using Windows search in "c:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Rapture\Programs". Note: "c:\ProgramData" is a hidden directory.

Sidenote. I've tried to move the PROG's elsewhere, but even with a documented reg hack still can't get it to work.

I know where it is and I'll try that... Here's hoping there are names that reflect my description! ;-)
 
Somewhere I remember having some 3rd party program... Doctor or professor something.... It was supposed to help with this kind of stuff?
 
Back to one-by-one loading/listening...

I might be wrong, but I thought one of Panu's mods included an intelligent patch browser for Dim Pro.

don't bother with reg hacks,  move the programs folder to the location you want then open a command prompt and navigate to c:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Rapture\ and type mklink /j "Programs" "<location where you moved the folder>". then run rapture and refresh the browser. 

Fair point but when you are upgrading etc whatever is written in the registry is observed, certainly an excellent intermit solution though which I might just use.

this is the easiest, because i have moved locations between hard drives a couple of times, so all i need to do is rebuild the links to the new location.

Interesting...
 
I guess you had reason/need to move them...
 
My problem is not having a search that understands "sound "types""...
 
But as in the past, I rampaged through patch after patch until I stumbled on something that had a similar character to what I'm looking for and then edit/modified the sound as well as I could...
 
I got something that I think works.... time will tell and if needed I will look more...
 
Too bad there's still no way to deal with this...
 
Or is there?
 
I do recall that Panu added a number of abilities to the Browser... that might help, but..........
 
Thanks again...

Rapture (and Dim pro) don't provide metadata/tagged based searching unfortunately.  Omnisphere and Alchemy amongst others do a much better job of providing the type of searching you're looking for.  I was going to suggest a filename search to see if that threw up anything, I'd probably limit myself to the Keys category too for that type of sound.
 
On a related note, I've got a duplicate of all rapture patches under c:\users\all users\... as well as c:\programdata\...  What's up with that?
