Does anyone know if this is a available. I would like to see the program contents of all the download folders in the Rapture Pro downloads it would help me see what packs I would like to download, and provide a check to make sure that they have installed correctly.

Wow, World FX is not what I expected. Was expecting unusual percussion and instrments from around the world, and although the the is sitar which supports this idea, gunshots, cannon and thunder and a stck of synth percussion. Well that and massive umbrella 'World FX'
Glad to not have installed that through CCC

Is it just a list that's required or a dependency spreadsheet?
Have authors dipped into other packs resources for elements?
 
I was somewhat surprised to the contents of e.g, Prepared Piano 1, including
- Orchestral Percussion
- PianetT
- Sound FX - guns and cannons
Full artistic licence I guess ... and why not(?)
 
One would hope, as is probably the case, that each pack would contain the contents to be able to stand on it's own.
 
I'd still like an 'order by pack' option in the Browser too.

Downloaded a few packs yesterday manually from the website, and extracted to a location for looking at, rather than playing. I'm not going to knock everything, the PlanetT and ClavinetT seem promising, and having a dedicated Harp will be useful for smatterings. When going through the legacy I saw Harps, but I'd rather have a good quaility that a colections of ok ones. Some of the packs seem a mess and so far I've not liked any programs. The blessing with the multisample SFZ format is I can quickly make up something from the good foundations that are provided in some cases.
 
I hate wading through programs and prefer to have an idea in my head and aim for it, than find a near approximation, then strip away, removing effects and trying to figure out why something is acting in a unexpected undesirable way. Other's like the preset way and fair enough, we all have our mindsets and methodologies.
 
I think it's pretty poor that these packs have been assembled and the only info we are given to make a decision, is a file size, nothing more. Even the pack name is vague and contentious.

FWIW Kamikaze - You don't have to fully extract the files from the .exe installer. You can use 7zip to "Open Archive" and browse through.
 
You may recognize that the Pianet and Clavinet are high quality 96kHz sample rate ... thus the large size.

I too would love to see what the folder should look like. 
Can anyone post?
After installing all parts from the CCC for Rapture Pro (2.0.3) I get 3 folders:
LFO Waveforms - 519 kb
Multisamples - 5.368 GB
Tunings - 1.16 MB
 
I was expecting 10 GB of Multisamples.
I do show 10+ GB of downloaded installation files in ProgramData>Cakewalk>CommandCenter. 
 
Meanwhile, as I compare my prior DimPro library of multisamples with the new one after the Rapture Pro installation, many are duplicated, but maybe 30-40% are not included. I can't imagine why Rapture Pro would have a reduced set of waveforms. 
 
So, I don't trust my installation. (Although the synth "works".)
Can Cakewalk or any user please post a complete screenshot of an explorer window of the Multisamples folder after installation? (vertical monitor preferably). Or at least the complete contents amount after installation?
 
(Cakewalk has not responded to my Support question on this matter - twice - over 2 weeks.)
 
Thanks!

p.a.wallis -- 
 
Thank you so much!
Ok, so my installation is the same as yours.
 
So, it's still a mystery to me how a 10+GB download (and currently still residing as 10.6 GB on C:>ProgramData>Cakewalk>CommandCenter) gets installed and cut by over 50%.
 
Also, when I compare my prior DimPro folder (plus expansion packs), many files/folders/samples aren't included. So, I'm not quite sure how to integrate them. Has anyone simply dragged multisamples from a prior DimPro installation into the new Rapture Pro multisample folder?

I talked to Digital Sound Factory when I bought their Yamaha Grand Piano sound pack for Dimension Pro (Vol.1) and discovered programs like "Bass Clarinet & Clarinet.prog" and "Large Wind Section.prog", etc.  The included wav samples were only of piano notes.  They said the non-piano programs used the 'factory' instruments, which I take to mean instruments present in the default Dimension (pro) installation.
