New features and enhancements in Version 1.1
New Stand-alone mode - Rapture can now function as a stand-alone instrument making it the perfect go-to synth for live performance. Stand-alone mode functionality works in Windows XP, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows Vista, Windows Vista X64, OS X PowerPC, OS X Intel.
Universal Binary compatible (all formats) - Rapture can now be loaded in both PowerPC and Intel equipped Macs in Audio Units (AU), VSTi, ProTools (RTAS) formats. VSTi support updated to version 2.4, and now supports composite and non-composite windows in OSX hosts.
Native Windows Vista® support - Rapture can now be run natively on all 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista.
Multiple stage DSP section - Rapture 1.1 now offers an all new dynamic three stage DSP/two filter arrangement. The new arrangement allows the repetition of DSP transforms, such as allowing for up to three Decimator stages to be loaded within a single DSP section.
New DSP transforms - Six new DSP transforms have been added to the DSP section. Soft Clip, Hard Clip, Warp, Break, Rectify, and Width. Rapture's DSP section now has an even more diverse and fresh sound. Using all of these algorithms in conjunction with the new DSP section brings new life into the character sound of Rapture.
Tempo synced Envelope Generators - All Envelope Generators can now sync to host tempo, in any integer, dotted or triplet division. Sync mode is enabled by the new 'Sync' text selector on each Envelope Generator. Envelopes will increase and decrease in speed according to tempo changes and settings within compositions.
New Filters - Rapture now offers a number of State-Variable filter options including Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass and Band Rejection. Ideal for creating exotic textures and pads.
New Step Generator modes and options - Rapture now includes new Step Generator functionality not found in any other synth.
The new Step Generator features include:
'Shot' mode added to the Step Generators - when activated, the Step Generators will pass thru all defined step values only once, then stop
'Step' mode added to the Step Generators - when engaged, the Step Generators will cycle through the defined step values on successive Note-On events
Normalize Steps - will expand the dynamics for the current Step Generator pattern to fit in the maximum range
Copy Shape from LFO - will bring the LFO shape from the currently selected modulator into the Step Generator, including the LFO phase setting
Extract Shape from Sample File (unique to Rapture) - this will calculate the amplitude envelope of any sample file, and set it into the selected Envelope Generator
New MIDI Learn functionality - Rapture's MIDI Learn has been enhanced to provide the most powerful MIDI Learn implementation offered in any synth. The new MIDI Learn features include: Add/Remove MIDI Control, Per-Control Min/Max/Reverse, MIDI Learn added to the X-Y pad, MIDI Learn added to Up/Down and Text Selectors, All Up/Down menus and Text Selectors can now be learned and Multiple MIDI Configurations: Rapture now offers ten different MIDI user configurations Ideal to for multi MIDI controller setups and live performance.
