There was a short time period after BandLab took over where you could still register products at the old cakewalk.com, but this was stopped at the same time new registrations on the old cakewalk site were disabled.
with rapture, it's very easy to create evolving sounds with movement. it's perfect for ambient sounds, evolving pads, atmospheric textures, sci-fi fx and assorted digital weirdness. i bought it for those reasons and it's worked out well for me.
i haven't had the need to delve deeply into the modulation matrix, though it's amazing what you can do with the crazy number of LFOs and envelope generators that rapture contains. offhand, i think it has 42 LFOs and 42 EGs available to be used.
put it this way, i'm not a big fan of soft synths but i love rapture. i believe it is highly underrated. i think it has a unique sound character. i think that it's perfect for what you describe. i don't know if there's a demo for it, but if there is, you should try it for yourself to see if it agrees with you and your musical vision. these things are always so personal.
On a final note, take all of the above, and combine it with the fact that the wave-dance timings will follow the DAW's session tempo (a common occurrence in many newer groove-based plug-ins), and you have a valuable tool that's both flexible and fun. ($289 MSRP; www.cakewalk.com)
The CD opens with a group of five songs composed in Prague in 1939, with texts from the Liebesgedichte of Ricarda Huch. Settings of Huch's poetry are not numerous; aside from Ullmann, Hans Pfitzner has set seven poems, five of which are also from Huch's Liebesgedichte. Although some might not find Ullmann's music accessible at first hearing, it beautifully captures the almost fanatical rapture of Huch's love poetry. Shirai and Höll give a gripping performance, which, like Ullmann's music, amply repays multiple listenings.
