Basically, Dune is very similar to Sylenth, with the compressor even more so And the price is also about the same...

It has a VA element, thats where the similarity ends...

What does Dune 1.x give you that other synths don't?

And the level of active development

An upgrade to V2.

Is there?

Dunno why synths have fx at all....i use diff fx to tailor a sound to fit in a track....compressors are a big no anyway for me. I guess its just for making presets sound 'good' straight out of the box. Luckily you can turn them off.

Yes, I noticed that a lot of developers drown their factory presets in effects

Still, when used appropriately, why would one not use built-in standard effects? For more unusual effects one can still use external plugins...
It is nice to have the complete sound in one patch, also makes it easier to share presets with others...

My only problem with built-in effects is when they sound bad, like the SynthEdit reverb module, which destroys the sound instead of enhancing it.

Ease of use.

I read somewhere from another post dune II will have a type of vector synthesis with an xy pad and its possible to morph between oscillators or patches? I assume this is correct info? How does it compare to the new features blue II is gonna have ie snap to grid xy settings and recordable xy curve etc?

False info.

Where did you read that? Note that it is possible to do vector style synthesis already with DUNE 1, even though there isn't the XY pad.

I think it was in one of the recent Blue II threads but I can't seem to find the exact thread, sorry maybe I misunderstood something along the way? About the vector synthesis in Dune now, do you mean using the mod matrix maybe?

cytospur · Post by **cytospur** » Mon Feb 24, 2014 9:05 am

Yes, using the matrix. You need two voices and different modulations for osc mix in each voice. Set each oscillator to a different waveform, i.e. 2 voices x 2 osc.

Nice, will try it out next time I go into Orion. So the big question, when is Dune II likely to be released

?

Touch The Universe · Post by **Touch The Universe** » Thu Mar 06, 2014 3:11 pm

Is the plan still Q1? I don't know anything about marketing but will the release be affected by any other releases ie blue II?? Still waiting anxiously for Dune II

Kriminal · Post by **Kriminal** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:51 pm

Doesnt look like Q1.....its still in beta. I could post some screenshots, info and audio demos, as i havent actually signed anything that says i cant.

Any news on Dune 2? (Out Now!!!)
