Resurrect one plugin. What would you pick?

[BennyG]

Was always quite partial to using Liveslice; was super fun. Would love to see a contemporary version.

This would have been my pick too! A modern version of this type of interface, but capable of working with live audio as well as pre-loaded samples would be incredible.

my point is that Dune 1 cannot replace Dune 3 and this is so obviously the truth - .

Absolutely

Now, back to this

Try to recreate the flange bass patch in Dune 1 in Dune 2 or 3. Won't get close.

Do you mean Flanged Bass RH?

Here is my version. See if you can tell which is which. I don't really care much as it is a boring patch, but I thought... let me see what I can do with this. One is a bit louder, but that's all I can say.

Thanks for your work - YES - THAT is QUITE the boring patch - one of the most boring patches i've ever heard, lol.


I definitely tweaked that patch beyond all recognization, lol but it was the starting patch which is why I remember it. Please refer to my original wave I uploaded - it sounds NOTHING like that. I'm never on my other computer where my stuff is installed - but examinagon efforts might have encouraged me. I'll try here shortly

I could literally recreate that sound in any subtractive freeware synth just about - so I can see the confusion. My point won't be clear until I clarify better examples.

Dune 1 vs Dune 3 Presets.zip

Here are 3 patches - 2 Dune 1 Presets which highlight the uniqueness of it compared to Dune 3. I also included one of my out of dozens of attempts to get to that flanged bass patch I made from the stock. Close - sounds lovely - but not that elegant flavor of Dune 1.

Here is a video going over these and sound design comparison between the two.

Strongly agree. Is there any other plugin out there similar enough to replace it?

Surreal by Seer Systems

Wow. That's a blast from the past. I still have the box somewhere

Seems they're already working on this:

I see the price is still Surreal

I figure many would want Alchemy. Me.. Steinberg's Hypersonic.

rsp

Hypersonic for sure - all with you. Still, after all that time there's been so many attempts to this approach - all of them kinda failed. Paul (Kellett - the developer) is a genius.
I still use Hypersonic 2 via Jbridge (if not in Reaper). And i'm still astonished what i can accomplish with it at this tiny cpu usage.

Was it similar to HALion Sonic?

Halion Sonic supposed to be the "successor" - but in my personal view they never achieved it. I assume mainly because Paul Kellett - the original developer (and his team behind it) had another way on the idea. Don't get me wrong - Halion (Sonic) is great on its own - but it's too different in many ways.

Hypersonic was sort of a workstation. Very restricted set of quality sounds which are designed to be used together. All-in-one solution. Low memory and processor footprint. Simpler than Halion Sonic.

Halion Sonic is similar but it is more like Halion player (Halion with restricted functionality and infinite libraries).

My impression.

Hypersonic 2 was fully editable (Hypersonic 1 wasn't). The only restriction to Hypersonic 2 was, that you sadly weren't able to load your own samples.

I feel this topic is actually a trick question geared towards Alchemy lovers only
