Cakewalk Rapture on Sale from $99 - $19.99

[Electric_Head]

I'm not sure how many of you may have spotted this gem going up on sale?
It is currently going for $19.99.
Well worth the $99 but at $20 you really should not pass this up.

[PillowFight]

Big ups for this, do you happen to know how long the sale lasts?

[Electric_Head]

Oh F*ck, it expires today

Get on it NOW!!!!

[Genevieve]

Jesus Christ, why does every webshop these days require you to have money on your account already? Like a year ago I could just transfer cash from my bank account on the fly using paypal.

I missed out on a fucking audiodamage sale because of this too.

FUCK them.

[Electric_Head]

You need some credit?

[Genevieve]

Nope, I got it!

Thanks for sharing this. I demo'd it when I first got into production and it was waay too hard but I think I can work it now.

[Electric_Head]

It's a beast.

Check out the Galbanum Piscis Expansion Pack & Universal 120 V2.0 Expansion Pack by Fisound.
2 excellent expansion packs imo.
Massive amounts of Envelope Presets, Step Generator Presets, etc.

They just add a massive amount of ammunition to Rapture.
Also be sure to get the 2 free expansions.

Plus the Galbanum free waveforms.

With those you'll be set for life really.

[Genevieve]

Hahaha, I don't just 'think' I can work it but I'm getting some gnarly sounds out of it already. Sweet!

I'll check those packs out mayne.

Dimension Pro was on the same sale too.
If someone missed them, it'll probably come around again. They had a similar huge discount last year.

[Fowles]

just bought it. Gonna try it out today. Post examples of sounds you guys have made if you have come up with anything good yet.

[Crimsonghost]

I keep forgetting this thing is on sale, and keep forgetting to demo it.

You guys like it?

So just curious, do the lot of you just buy stuff when it's on sale for this cheap? I used buy things I'd never really thought about before just because it was cheap. Most of that stuff I rarely use these days.

No but Rapture is fairly legendary, won awards and has very unique features. I pass up a lot of deals though, even free stuff.

The link seems back to full price now though. I don't know if I'd pay full price, it came out in around 2006 and now with stuff like Alchemy and Zebra... probably say pass.

Edit: the link Electric Head posted below still works. I bought it from here which says 99 now http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Rapture-e

[Electric_Head]

It's still going for $19.99

Yea I have Absynth so I don't really feel the need. Just curious.

[claudedefaren]

Not a lot of info on Rapture out there that I can find.. it appears to be a hybrid synth with wavetable capabilities?

Why do you mention Absynth, fragments?

Oh...I was just asking if people always bought plug-ins when they came across good deals like this as it seemed like all the posters in this thread were jumping on this deal. I used to buy anything on sale no matter what when it was 75-80% off...most of that stuff I don't need/use now.

Point is, I don't feel like I need another synth besides Absynth.

It was mostly OT you can ignore me ;p

[claudedefaren]

Yeah Absynth is definitely the one synth to rule them all, but as far as getting an analog tone out of it I ALWAYS get better results with Twin 2. Those two for me, pretty much all I need.

That said, new toys are fun, and I'm intrigued by the low low low price tag..

[Sinergy]

Fuck, I downloaded this shit and now I'm reading all about how it doesn't work on OSX Lion.

Apparently there is a workaround but no actual info on it anywhere, can someone help me out?!

[webstarr]

I think it's worth it if it's something different to what you already have. I've never used any ROMpler type synths so will be interested to have a go and see how it works
