I have Dune2 and I also used Dune 1.x CM for a while when I was running a 32 bit host. For what I remember, the sound character is actually a bit different. I won't try to explain it by words because I see Teksonic is in the thread, but I think they sounded different. For example, the Alpha Glider patch, is it possible to recreate it at 100% in Dune2?

Loved the Dune CM sound from the get go.

Bought Dune 2 and thought in some ways D CM sounded better.

But having got used to it, I love Dune 2.

It makes such a good alternative to the likes of Spire or Avenger - much warmer feeling.

There seems to be a limited amount of Dune2 soundbanks available commercially. In comparison to sylenth or serum. The majority of what I find are ambient and pad stuff of which I'm not interested in. Any good resources on Dune2 patches? I know how to create sounds but I like the inspiration of using sounds already made so I can focus on music.

Imo this is where Dune2 actually shines. For the stuff typically found in Serum and Sylenth soundbanks Serum and Sylenth are better choices.

Having thus said, if you are into trance Aiyn Zahev's patches are definitely worth checking out

Have you heard these from Freshly Squeezed Samples? There are some great sounds in there. Also, the Synapse Audio forum has a sticky with several places to find Dune 2 patches.

I released a soundset for Dune 2 last year which might interest you:

I'm looking at the install folder from CM258 and Synapse DuneCM does have a 64 bit version.

From the "how to install" text file:

"To install the 32-bit version of this plug-in, please run the .exe installer file.

To install the 64-bit version of this plug-in, please copy the .dll file to your shared VST folder".

Thanks Teksonik! I must have the older version before they updated it. I just did a Google search and found this: http://forum.cakewalk.com/64-bit-update ... 05029.aspx

There used to a site that Rob Lee made, but I can't find it. It had a whole bunch of Dune CM presets he released for free.

I already have those presets, but I was trying to find the website for others here.
I'm not sure if it still exists (?)

Good replies, I'll check these out. Not really looking trance or anything specific, just not pads and ambiance. Leads, poly sounds, bass, clever modulation. Thanks again for the replies. Checking out some demos.

For those who are still on DUNE 1, there's still the possibility of our Duniverse soundset. Classic patches (with somewhat character).

Duniverse : Back to the roots

Duniverse : Some keys

Duniverse : Pads & Misc

Note : these presets are NOT compatible with Dune 2

The free Cuebrick presets are my favourite.

There aren't loads of them, but they make great start points for something edgier leadwise than most dune presets.

I keep coming back to them.

Hey Rob,

Website is currently down so I have uploaded the Dune CM presets to the KVR database below, let me know if the link works.. give me 5 minutes and I'll upload the Dune v1 Big Pack for the full version of Dune v1...

Trance for Dune CM version here - https://www.kvraudio.com/product/dune-b ... /downloads

Let me know if the download works.. I'll post another link for more Dune sounds if anyone wants them?

Rob

PS

Members may upload one file per product per 24-hour period. You last uploaded something for DUNE 4 minutes ago!

There are Trance, Cinematic, and two EDM Banks for sale in the Synapse Shop for Dune 2.
