If anyone wants a more comprehensive NKS template than the one that Dune 3 ships with I have made one - it allows much more hardware control over this plugin - I still had to limit some things just to stop it getting too cumbersome but I think it strikes a better balance between control and usability than the existing NKS template does.

I could also convert the entire factory library to this template if it is allowed

Does anyone know if there's a way to make dune3 see the patches you create in the same way that it sees the factory content?

I have created a folder inventively called "my presets" in the folder that contains the factory presets, and I can select that folder within dune, but I don't get a drop down menu to select a preset in the same way that I do with the standard presets.

Would I need to make a category sub folder e.g. My Presets> Leads and then put my corresponding presets in there to get the same functionality? Or is that just the way it is? I can use the arrows to change preset just would be nice to have more of an overview.

Thanks

grandmasterbird yes, you have to create My Presets> Leads and etc.. and put preset here if you want it have categorized.

Great, thanks.

I'll give that a bash tonight. Will be great to have a drop down menu where I can see my presets :tu:

I finally took the plunge and bought dune3 recently and I havnt been disappointed. The sound quality is amazing

Dune is great for just about anything - but I. m. O. mainly the MOST ENIGMATIC Synth in the VST Dimension.

The Factory Sounds are Trance/EDM, but it can easily sound brilliant, smooth and even gentle 🙂

I have just decided to focus on Dune again - wasting hundreds of Bucks with this Descision.

Appreciate your comments. I demoed it a couple of days ago and overall, I liked the sound. It is light on CPU too. I do not have the money to purchase it right now, so just uninstalled the demo and added it to my wishlist. But with plethora of other synths on the table, I really need to justify getting DUNE 3 or sell some of the other synths. If it can replace some of those synths, it'd be great. :)

Good to know it can work well for other genres which are not necessarily synth-heavy/oriented.

Haha, great to know you like Enigma too. :phones: These days I am not doing Enigmatic or atmospheric/ambient stuff though.

Why do you say that? Or I did not get you exactly.
And while we are it, does the full version have enough presets in various categories? In terms of covering wide range of sounds from bread-n-butter to experimental stuff. I think many people mention it to be their go-to synth?

He probably bought other synths until he realized he should have just used Dune instead :D

Or you could tag your own patches with prefixes like "Bas Moog Bass" or "Led Trance" or "Pad-Silky" etc.

That way all your patches will be in one folder and categorized. You can have 200+ patches in one folder and it will display horizontally allowing you to see them all at once. Anything over the limit which I think is 214 or 240 I don't remember exactly right now it will display vertically and you'll have to scroll up and down to see all the patches. Once you fill one folder of 200+ just create another one.

You can also create a folder called 00-Favorites and drop your well....favorite patches in it. That way the folder will always be at the top of the list unless you create another folder 00 etc. :)

Patch management in Dune 3 is the same as file management in Windows (or Mac I presume don't own one). Logical organization is the key...... :tu:

So you know for Dune (and a few other not from SA), on a mac the rows don't change to columns after x amount of elements.

is that a mac thing that cannot be changed by the synth dev?

So you're saying on a Mac you can have an unlimited (or more than 200+ at least) number of patches in a folder and they'll always display horizontally and not vertically in a single column which requires you to scroll ?

I wonder if the limitation is not up to Windows file system then rather than how D3 handles it ?
