does it really matter??

if an oscillator is turned all the way down in the forest, does it make a sound?

It might make a little difference in terms of CPU usage, no?

yes, perhaps a little...

In some (most?) synths, the filters don't self oscillate when there's no input, even when it's completely silent. Dunno how it is in Dune.

I just tried it: It does work with the oscs all turned down, resonance turned up, with most of the "Analog Models" category of filters (AM Polaris, etc.).

If a man is saying something in a forest and no women can hear him, is he still wrong?

No such a thing that a woman can no hear you!
She will or she will imagine it :cry:

You can turn an osc off by setting either density or amount to zero, can't recall which. I think osc 2 is set to this by default?

Requires more clicking/tabs etc, so not ideal. Solo/Mute is not really a feature I would use.

The new layer mixer is very handy though, and the new reverbs are very nice.

Nice update, but I was really hoping he made the voice editing available outside unison. It’s such an amazing feature, but imagine if it could be used like Obsession’s voice card offsets.

It’s zero. I remember because the first time I used Dune I almost reported it as a bug because I couldn’t figure out why an oscillator was turned on, up in the mixer, but not making a sound. :oops:
