Dune2 is the result of several years of dsp research

Just reread that post and I think he was maybe asking if the all the new waves sound as phat as the waves in Dune1?, like it hasn't turned into a quantity over quality thing which I'm sure ins't the case, but he may want to clarify

ok, Dune2 is Dune on steroid, everything has been enhanced : wavetable, FM, filter, envelope, FX ...

it is not like a wavestation
but it can sound like a wavestation, a virus or a minimoog in the hand of great sound designer

Thanks for all the teasers carriers!, it helps with the wait..In your opinion how does it stand to spire, sylenth, diva? Can it create dub style basses like massive?

I'm sure it can. I didn't want to say that you said it would be like a Wavestation, i mean, the name Dune 2 suggests that it picks up on what Dune 1 was about, so i guess it should be rather like Dune 1.

Christophe, I think it would be a good idea to listen to Tek, otherwise we'll have to put you on the naughty step

If you could only use it for pads, bass, or leads which would you use it for.
Pings. Multiple pings. And then some more pings. But not one ping only.

I have no idea what this means

of course it stands !
sylenth has a nice audio engine but it is very basic
diva is great and the king of analog emulation
i don't own spire (demo and manual), it looks like a good replacement for sylenth1 and Dune but i am pretty sure it does not come with all the feature of dune2
It certainly can create dub style basses like massive

There are some things that, while undenyably true, are better off unknown.

EDIT: Also, I can't f--king spell

Just messing with spire and really liked the eq section. The graphic display makes makes things a little quicker and easier imo than Dune 1, by any chance does the newer version have one. If not I'd just add to wishlist for future versions..

A while ago the main developer wrote that the remaining bits and pieces before releasing Dune 2, were some graphical user interface (gui) related things and presets. I see the importance for a good gui, but how important are the presets? I get that you need some to inspire and show what your product can do, but is it a selling point? Aren't we all told not use presets and create our own instead?

I guess what I am trying to say is that I ready to become a day one buyer.

Patches are important to some users because they often like to tweak presets without having to completely start from scratch.

I think it's great that Dune 2 is being given plenty of time to come out with a bang, or swoosh, or other atmospheric sound.

Very important. Critical, I'd say

Ppl are living on fast forward nowadays and many simply don't have the patience to sit down and try things out anymore. There's so much stuff available nowadays that instant gratification can be obtained elsewehere if a certain product fails on delivering. So yeah, even if a lot of ppl use the stock presets just as a starting point of like an introduction to what that synth can do, they play an important role. After all, the dev knows the plugin in and out, so it's likely it can deliver the kind of presets that will showcase the strong points of that said plugin.

On the other hand there are ppl like me that rely on factory presets to quickly lay down a song. When I'm in a creative mood I need certain type of sounds pronto, I don't sit down to sculpt presets for hours while risking losing the vibe

So yeah, presets can really help selling a plugin

Any news on Dune 2? (Out Now!!!)
