- Rapture Pro now with Steam Cloud support! - 24 July 2017
Hi Everyone, We've released a small update to Rapture Pro Steam: • Added Steam Cloud support - Users may now run the standalone Rapture Pro microhost and save presets into a Steam Cloud synced folder. Bring your favorite presets to any installation. We've made a helpful guide on how to leverage this new feature here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=957628388 Note: Since Rapture Session does not allow saving of user presets, no Steam Cloud support is available for this instrument. • We've updated SteamReg to the latest version for both Rapture Session and Rapture Pro • We've refactored how our Legacy Synths Rapture 1.2.2 & Dimension Pro authorize. The Steam installer should now have less chance to hang on reinstalls or certain Windows security configurations.

- Note: Instability with certain Cakewalk plugins after recent Windows 10 updates - 9 December 2016
Note: Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3201845) appears to resolve the issue stated below. Make sure to check your Windows 10 updates, if you are having issues. It has come to our attention that a recent Windows 10 update has introduced instability in a subset of our plug-ins and may cause SONAR or other Windows DAWs to crash. The problem is related to a change in the timing for thread initialization on Windows, which leads to intermittent crashing on project load, plug-in scanning, or adding these plug-ins to a project. We are able to reproduce the issue and it appears to only affect some systems since it is timing related. We are actively working on a resolution and will release fixes to the affected plugins as soon as possible. Plug-ins that may be affected: CA-2A Rapture Pro Rapture Session Z3TA+2 We appreciate your patience while we work to res…
