Printed copy and DVD:

Subscription:

or, digital copies:

or
http://gb.zinio.com/browse/publications ... =500258045 (but that's only an annual subscription)

cm is, I believe, working out a way to deliver the DVD contents digitally too.

Yes, we are working on a system where you'll be able to get the entire mag digitally (Apple Newsstand or Zinio + downloads for the disc content). We're hugely excited about it and can't wait for it to launch! Pricing isn't set yet. And yes, you'll be able to buy just one copy.
Lee, great news (and on DuneCM, too)! But as I already have a subscription (and have done for 5 years now), will I be able to access the digital versions and downloads too for the sake of convenience?

Yes, if you get the print edition, you will be able to access the downloadable content too.

Please CM start naking this info more visible!

Yes, it's 32-bit only. Sorry we didn't make that clear - it was an honest mistake.

By the way, here are a couple of videos using Dune CM:

The synth is, of course, capable of much, much more than what's shown here

So, is there any ETA on when a download option will be ready? I definitely am ready

Dumb question, but I've looked and honestly couldn't find an answer:

What formats are the CM editions of plugs/programs available in? VST only? AU for Mac? Varies by developer?

Thanks...

Varies by developer. If there is actually an AU for it, it will be included.
For DuneCM, there should be both vst and au for mac as well.

Anybody knows if the BEAT edition of DUNE is similar in features?
Is it time-locked (like old Rob Papen stuff)?

I ask because DUNE was in the last BEAT isse (I think the April one) as well and it's just more affordable as CM.

from me, on the previous page..

same presets as Dune BE, and any that use the 2nd page of the mod matrix still sound the same even though its disabled in the CM edition.

So the Beat one is better as allows the 2nd page of Mod Matrix. However, the CM one has a mac version, AFAIK the Beat one is windows only.
get beat anyway, as its got Tone2 Firebird+ on it.

Since I'm not on Mac, I don't have a problem with that.

Question remains:
- time locked (like: stops moving end July or something)

I don't expect updates anyway (remember am|suite BE?).

How many presets are included with DuneCM? Are they decent?

Edit:

The only difference between the CM version and the comercial version is that Dune CM only has 128 factory presets, no effects section and only 1 page mod matrix.

Ok. Does anyone have any speculation if third party sound sets would work with DuneCM?

Compyfox · Post by **Compyfox** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 9:51 pm

If this is possible, maybe the developer might think of releasing an LE (similar to the BE/CM) version just for the purpose of "preset users"?

Wouldn't that add to sales?

Is there anywhere to buy CM via mail in the US? My local B&N is far away, and yesterday when I went they didn't have any copies anyhow. It is pointless to count on them but I'd love a copy of DuneCM.

you can load external banks, but they wont sound 100% identical if they use any of the onboard effects as these are missing. the synth+mod stuff seems (to me) to appear the same.

theres no mention of it in the mag or in the installer.
