Francois van der Merwe Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Are they working on this? Is it going to be re-released in the future or is it abandon ware? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralf Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I think there is sadly no change to get them back or as build in. I bought my last Z3TA 2.2.2 in 2017 and Dimension Pro was last seen in my Sonar 8. Good old Times, where are they gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Guy Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) Honestly, at this point just get Kontakt. Black Friday is almost here. There are other really good Synths that are super cheap, as well. So little communication on this. It's like they decided to shut it all down after feasting from the initial hype. Those tools are so old at this point. They've been completely usurped by competitors, some really cheap. They don't really matter, in the grand scheme of things.

abacab Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Well Dimension Pro was already end of life after Cakewalk (under Gibson) released Rapture Pro. So if there was anything that BandLab would probably consider re-releasing it would be Rapture Pro, and maybe Z3TA+2. But since the end of Cakewalk under Gibson, there has been intense global competition in the virtual instruments market. There are some very, very good related products going for free or for pennies on the dollar today. So a good businessman would need to weigh that against the potential development and support budget needed to re-launch these legacy products and consideration of the future market for them. It would probably please a few old guys, but not sure the younger generation would swarm over them if offered the opportunity. Plus BandLab already gave us a huge gift with the resurrection of Cakewalk by BandLab. I'm not saying impossible, but it could surely be a tough decision for them. And don't get me wrong, I love the legacy Cakewalk synths. Have them all except for Rapture Pro, which I would love to get my hands on! I guess we'll have to just be patient and wait and see. I like what they have been doing so far! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mánibranðr Studios Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I wonder how hard it would be to convert the Dimension Pro patches to Kontakt Player format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siordanescu Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Dimension Pro and Rapture are inside the Rapture Pro synthesizer! all banks, all their subsequent developments. If you have Rapture Pro you have Dimension and Rapture ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would probably be easier to work with SFZ file players because that is what Dimension Pro is based on.

Magic Russ Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Kontakt does import sfz, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would have been around the time of Kontakt Player 4 or 5. It was on an XP PC and they were either E-Mu banks or Cakewalk banks. Not sure I still have the HDD with those on my XP PC. It would probably be quicker for you to do a conversion than for me to find out if I still have them. UPDATE: The backup drive that had been on my XP PC is now on my Win 10 PC and it looks like the files I successfully converted to Kontakt *.nki files were from the E-Mu Protozoa CD. I seem to remember that once I figure out how to do one set, the rest were easy. If I also converted Cakewalk/rgc sound libraries, I haven't found them.
