RAPID Synthesizer | Rapid 1.8.0 released | Free "SP - Granular Elements"

[wagtunes]

@ wagtunes and others who have already bought the synth - if it's no bother, could you give some feedback about wavetables and samples not included into the demo? Is there some interesting stuff here?

Okay, I've gone through the sound sources available.

There are 260 wavetables and close to 200 multi samples.

Interesting stuff? Given that this is all subjective, I'd say yes as far as not being able to create your own wavetables. Lots of basic things you'd expect and a lot of rather esoteric stuff that most people probably wouldn't think of as far as the wavetables.

Multi samples is an interesting lot. There are quite a few that are one shots with short decay so you'd probably maybe use them for plucks and things like that. I don't see any way of turning a one shot into a loop so the ones that don't sustain even with a long envelope, you'll probably find very specialized uses for.

Certainly there is enough sound material here, combined with all the FX mangling that you can do on them, to make hundreds if not thousands of patches. I will certainly be busy for a long time putting together a library for this monster.

In all honesty, the price tag isn't looking as off the wall as it did upon first inspection. I still don't think I would have spent $235 on this synth but had it sold for the same price as Zebra 2, yeah, most definitely.

A video is going to be pretty long to do this thing any justice so when I get the time to put an afternoon into it I'll put one together.

this is how i feel, now that is spent some time with it I can sort of see why it is priced like it is. It is extremely high quality.

It's a false positive. AVG does this almost all the time with exe files which is why I don't use it.

Thanks! Well, even the stuff included into the demo is already very insripring. I din't like most of the presets but making custom sounds is very quick. Love the layout, synth is not overloaded with the knobs, but all important stuff is easily accessible. The wavetables in the demo are great, just modulating the morph control (WT position?) gives some amazing sequences. Frankly I don't miss the WT import, the included wavetables are of very high quality, I'm not sure where I would get equally useable and good sounding WTs to load into the synth.

Off the bat, I would import all my Serum WTS.

That's what I was talking about in another thread. These anti-virus programs bring a lot of false positives, but usually can't recognize a real menace, because those are programmed to hide from them.

Parawave - for the feature - > Arps midi drag n drop to work, it does not seem to work in Presonus Studio One v3 (latest) when dragging a midi clip, from the Daws browser. Is there anything you can do,to fix this in the next release? Looks like a feature I'd use alot for making new sounds with arps.


Thank you

You didn't like tham? Now I am angry. ;-P Not really, but now I am really interested to hear what you can build with rapid. Don't missunderstand me, this is not like a provocation,... I am really interested, because you seems like to like other sounds I do. Some mp3s or videos would be nice.

Oh wow I was googling you last night because I was totally blown away with what you did with this synth. For me yours are the best presets I heard anywhere. Amazing. Seriously every time I clicked on a preset I got inspired.

FWIW, preset preference is very subjective. Some people love my libraries and some people absolutely hate them. I've learned to not take any of this personally.

I already got like 5 emails about that. Consequently visited the Avast website and found a whitelist feature. That was yesterday, so I don't know how long it takes to review such alerts. But I hope they will fix that.

Did you drop the file just into the gui or directly into the arp. try to drop it into the arp.

I swear I get alerts with my virus software with about everything I install, so annoying.

Now now! Don't be jealous
