• DC offset blocker to remove unwanted DC offset distortion that can occur when loading some waveforms
• Extended Vista x64 support including the ability for both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Rapture to be installed on the Windows Vista x64 operating system ensuring access within 32-bit DAWs that may be running on the 64-bit OS
