what is Brandon playing when he demonstrates the Massive Synth

[CakewalkSoftware]

@thcottie This was all just stuff I kind of made up on the spot.

What if I wanted the sound to stop after I let go of the key? For example, harmonic smear in the video, you pushed the note once and it continued forever, that happens with most of the sequences and pads but I don't want it to continue. How can I make that happen?

[CakewalkSoftware]

@ps3xploit The reason the pads are sustaining after the key is let go is because the sustain pedal is being held down. If you don't hold the sustain pedal, the sound will stop when you let up off the key.

Can this be used for recording guitars and stuff?

[CakewalkSoftware]

@999osma1 No, Rapture is a virtual synth. You'd want SONAR for the actual recording of guitars, etc.

What is the point of showing off a synth with a low quality video? A video like this should have the very best audio quality!

Hi i just got version 1.0 and i have pro tools m-powered 8. i"m able to bring up the interface for rapture, but no sound is recorded or playing. can someone please help? i'm using windows xp sp 3.

Well this is just a guy showing off what it can do but telling you very little about how to use it.

Pressing F1 with Rapture in focus does nothing. So it's hours and hours of trial and error.

Or you buy one of their videos - hoping it will be of more use...Clever aren't they?

[babylovesakiller]

how much does rapture cost?

[belagiorgo]

what keyboards he has?

[MeldMagic]

Excellent demonstration. I have the LE of RAPTURE in Sonar X1, but I was wondering if it's worth upgrading to the full version, when you already have Dimension Pro. I would like to keep things minimal, but have a complete sonic palete. I haven't even explored the other synths included with Sonar yet (new user).

Nice. :)

@CakewalkSoftware can you write down the notes for it? :D
