Ladies and gentlemen, here it is, a preset pack for DUNE 3.5, inspired by Synthwave music and some of the best Synth/Synthwave game and movie soundtracks of the last two decades: Deus Ex, Stranger things, Inside, Blade Runner 2049, Kentucky Route Zero, Half-Life 2.

And I need your help to test the installation pack. So far, I've tested it on OSX Catalina and it works like a charm. I need a few people to download and try to install it following the included instructions.

This is how it sounds:

And this is the link to the pack. It's completely free: https://manfromspace.gumroad.com/l/cinematic_dune3

Thanks in advance!

Thanks... Install went fine on Big Sur 11.6.6. Dune 3 vst3 in Cubase 12.
Will test it on my pc a bit later.

Can't seem to load Spacey Bass MFS.
Also Kraftwerk Robot Bass and INtro Bass seem to be the same patch.
Exoplanet Key MFS is complaining that Wavetable C64 is not found.
Now Exoplanet Key is playing fine but the one after FM Synthwave Keys is complaining, as does Phased C64 fake guitar, and Shiny Commodore (and yes it did install C64 wave table in a Man from Space Folder in Wavetables)

Add Central Industrial Lead to the list.
Reclash Pad.

OK, it seems like C64 Wavetable is being installed, but it's not being considered "the same C64 wavetable" by Dune 3, as the importer creates a subfolder for that wavetable automatically. So I'll have create that sub-folder in my system, then re-save those patches taking that wavetable from that subfolder.

I'll fix that as soon as possible. Thanks for checking!

Welcome...
Still can't figure out why Spacey Bass isn't loading at my end.. I imagine it loads at your end?

I'll check whether it uses a custom sample. I never use samples on Dune 3, but maybe I tried something different that time and forgot to remove the sample.

Its almost like it is in in the wrong format or belong to a different synth.
It just doesn't load, not even try to load with an error.

I had a message about the C64 wavetable not loading on the Central Industrial Lead and Spacey Bass presets. I hadn't reloaded the plugin since installing the presets, and had seen a message that the plugin needed to be reloaded. After removing the plugin from the track in Cubase and re-adding it, I'm no longer getting a message about the wavetable missing.

Interesting...
I did remove it from cubase too and tried again..
But let me try once again, and I couldn't get Spacey Bass to load at all.

edit: but you are right.. after I restarted Cubase, I am no longer getting the missing wavetable prompts.

edit 2: and manually recopying the patches, spacey bass now loads and plays.
edit 3: and the two kraftwerk basses now sound different (as I imagine they should

)

Oh, I see. Importing a wavetable requires DUNE to restart, there’s a pop up window alerting about that.

The thing is, in some DAWs such as Reaper, removing the track and adding it again won’t cut it. You need to either restart the whole DAW or open DUNE in a different plugin format (VST2/3, AU). Looks like Reaper caches the plugin boot up process. At least, that’s what happens in my computer (Mac, Catalina).

This is important. I’ll have to edit the Readme and instructions in GumRoad.

Indeed, still not sure why space Bass did not load until I had to manually recopy it..
Trying the install on Windows 10 now.

edit: yep identical to mac.
I had to restart Nuendo for it to stop asking me for c64, and had to manually replace the presets for spacey bass to play.
