It makes a supporter of Cakewalk (myself) question where our support is directed. It kind of makes me feel like a sucker. It wasn't ready for release. A silly ad buy shouldn't dictate your release schedule.
I am a lucky resident of the former Gibson factory locale who owns and plays awesome factory seconds from days past.
I've expressed once before,... I'm a little bummed that this has been allowed to be released.
I was thinking the same thing that Rapture Pro does have issues. However, on second thought, I am still glad I made the purchase. We can see what it can become. Also, at the end of the day, I would have still shelled out the dollars for it knowing that it will be improved.
That being said, I would not yet quite trust it in a live situation as I have loaded some patches (even stock RP ones) that bring Rapture Pro to a screeching halt.
I have read on here that people are concerned that Rapture Pro is simply the same feature set that Rapture Legacy and Dim Pro have. To some extent that may be true. However, I like the consolidation of patches (before we have to remember which synth had which patch) , the search-able browser is handy, the performance mode is excellent.
I suspect that the update for Rapture Pro will be released along with the E*.* release of sonar.
I can't wait. But I guess it's a case of "Patience Grasshopper...."
