Cakewalk Rapture Session REVIEW | Performer Mag

performermag.com

Cakewalk Rapture Session shines with its vast sound library, high-quality presets, and smooth integration across DAWs, making it a steal for under $30. Ideal for producers on a budget, it's compatible with both PC and Mac, though lacks a standalone version for Mac. While it may not satisfy hardcore keyboard enthusiasts, its intuitive interface and easy sound editing make it a no-brainer for adding rich textures to projects. Highly recommended for those looking to expand their musical palette without the hassle of complex setups.

Cakewalk Rapture Session Review - Audiofanzine

audiofanzine.com

Cakewalk's Rapture Session is a budget-friendly virtual synth with a decent sound library, particularly strong in orchestral offerings. Its $29.95 price tag makes it an attractive entry-level option, but the lack of programmability and inability to save customized sounds are significant drawbacks. While the preset sounds are plentiful and varied, the synth is notably limited in sound-shaping capabilities. The inclusion of Macro Knobs and Vector Mixer offers some tweaking potential, but these features feel underutilized. Overall, it's a mixed bag; a good choice for those seeking affordable sonic expansion without the need for in-depth customization.

After a week using it, I'm sold.

Got in a giveaway from Computer Music. God! This have a lot of hundreds of usable presets. Good for strings, atmosphere or even basses. It’s a no brainer synth. Sadly for newcomers, it can't be bought anymore due the close of the Cakewalk by Gibson.
