DUNE 2 is out now!!

[Nokenoku]

I am too lazy/busy to try this synth out at this moment.

Can someone make a video to show its functions?

[mcnoone]

I take back my earlier statements of DUNE2 not being able to do analog sloppy resonance funky sounds.
These two bass and lead sound clips are getting really close to that.
NO effects or eq/dist/comp. >completely dry funky goodness.

Everyone must have a controller...unless you're a non-musician

Funny, I always thought people who don't make music can only be classified as non musicians Ask successful singers or instrument players what a midi keyboard or controller is . Someone who already makes music but thinks I have a controller so I must be a musician Why not go further and say anyone who uses loops, presets or aren't serious enough about music to have lots of hardware aren't musicians.. total BS outlook

he have one but he's sad that the kybd-keys don''t correspond with the gui and thats really really terrible you know..

Sunday's acid techno after morning basketball lol
All made and triggered live in Maschine and recorded straight to Studio One via soundflower, so all arrangement is made on the fly, all dune except drums, all from init preset, no external effects, no EQs, no comps, only built in distortion and delay. Wouldn't have bothered to jam with Dune 1 in a life time, but version 2 is in a different league altogether.

I just realized that the unison section is actually eight separate editable voices. So it's not really unison in a traditional sense, but the same "differential unison" idea v1 had, only this time you can select which voice to edit rather than do everything via mod matrix.

There are overlapping things. You could do the unison spread by using osc pan for each unison voice. I guess detuning also.

Arpeggiator seems to be common for all voices. So you can't seem to run more than one pattern at a time.

The osc density section is what I think many will think when they hear unison. But this section is also much more editable than most synths.

I'm quite sure this may confuse a lot of people.

Can someone btw explain the modulation rate setting? When would I need to use faster mod rates and what does it mean anyway?

[cytospur]

Generally, the lowest cpu setting is sufficient for most scenarios. However, if you want to modulate parameters using oscillators or fast LFOs as sources then you will want to switch to the highest setting, otherwise the sound will be innaccurate and grungy - although you might like that

Try setting up a patch where osc2 modulates FM amount A, B, and/or C and listen at the different CPU settings. The FM capabilities go way beyond the stock FM module using modulations like this, e.g. output from osc3 could modulate FM-A, B, and/or C of osc2, whilst output from osc2 could modulate FM-A, B and/or C of osc1 thus giving you a massive seven operator FM algorithm. You can do all sorts of cross-modulation and alternative feedback routes. You could do FM between wavetables too and sweep through the tables to get nice textures.

[Blue-eyed Blonde Ape]

It needs to be high when you're modulating at audio rate things and that modulation is the key to your patch.

Thanks cytospur, that was helpful. No thanks Blue-eyed Blonde Ape, that wasn't helpful . (Edit. sorry blonde ape, it was helpful! I didn't first realize the soundcloud link was part of your answer. Get it now, I've done similar mod stuff with Fxpansion DCAM Cypher.)

I'm gonna join the crowd and say it's quite ridiculous not to be able to save patches with demo. I just created a nice pad and was meaning to make short audio demo of it, but the plugin crashed and now it's gone for good.

There is clearly some incompatibility with Studio One Mac 2.6 32bit using AU. The channel meters are always maxxed, sometimes only left or right tho, but this happens always when loading Dune 2. The other thing is that it crashes host, maybe when editing wavetable section, not sure.

I'm quite sure I will buy this when these things are fixed. Unless Waldorf Largo update will be 100 % bug free. So far Largo is the buggiest plugin I have and impossible to use, but it covers a lot of the same ground as Dune 2. I'd say Largo is the closest competitor to Dune 2. At first I thought Dune would be competing with Spire etc, but Dune is clearly much more complex and capable.

One thing puzzles me: how did you know I'm so really really sad?

And actually red the manual of my hardware synth acting as a controller and it has a second mode in which it transposes the keyboard for external triggering too.

I class you as a non musician, and a mentally unstable twat. What do you think about that?

[e@rs]

Some manufacturers start with C0 some with C1 so there has always been some confusion. Most if not all 61 key midi controllers default to the first C key being set to send note number 36.

Thanx. Guess I haven't seen one that starts with C0 before, my bad. On DUNE 2 the middle C (3) is not quite in the middle...

Nevermind. Didn't find a way to delete post.
