I just seen this crazy black friday deal on Rapture. Playing around with it now getting some nice pads and soundscape. No brainer for the price check it out.

Hmmm. It is a good price.

But I have alchemy and massive, which seem to be more than enough for my pads/wavetable synthesis. What does this offer that I don't already have?

skethyderek - not much, it's cheap.

so who else bought this, would you say its as powerful as z3ta+?
cant really demo this atm but would like to hear feedback

[Electric_Head]

Z3ta 2 is newer and has all the capabilities of Rapture plus more.
Rapture is essentially a waveshaping synth like Z3ta.

That being said though, if you don't have Z3ta 2 then Rapture is really well priced.
If you have z3ta then you can always upgrade for cheap and get the new 2.1 features.

I would say its more powerful then Z3ta for complex sounds. It don't have as deep wavshaping or an arp other the n that you can do every thing Z3ta can do plus load samples, .sfz files, multi stage envelopes , step generators ,loads more filters and fxs. If your more interested in wavshaping and analog synth Z3ta the one but if your after something like Absynth or Alchemy for $19.99 defiantly check out Rapture for at that price. I think they might be updating Rapture, about a year ago there was a $19.99 sale on Z3ta+ then after Cakewalk announced Z3ta2!

z3ta 2.1 can load samples as well.
