Dune 2 Synth
« on: January 08, 2016, 10:32:36 pm »
I just bought Dune 2. I am surprised that this synth is actually quite different than other synths. The flexibility with the unison voices is quite amazing. No other synth has this capability as far as I know. It seems to me that I am hearing this synth on a lot of current trance tracks. Am I right?  BTW, I bought it on sale for only $99.
Anybody out there use this synth? Any tips?

Rob,

There is no DUNE 2, what are you talking about? There was only one DUNE, and anybody who tells you otherwise is lying.

Warm regards,

I've never heard of this one before to be honest, but it looks quite interesting. Thanks for the share, I may not have much knowledge on it but its cool to know it exists.

I'm halfway through a Dune 2 tutorial. I'll post an update and let you know how it's working out.

I got this recently and it is a really good, flexible synth. The factory presets are some of the best I have heard in a synth for along time. It seems, in the short time I have had it, reasonably straightforward to program as well. Not too bad on CPU either.

DUNE 2 is an amazing synth. It is actually my very favorite. The unique differential unison engine +MSEGs + audio rate modulation + extensive mod matrix,  is pure win. Here I did a little review in the past (bottom of the page): http://www.kvraudio.com/product/dune-2-by-synapse-audio/reviews

I totally agree! This is an amazing sounding synth!  I just finished a Dune 2 tutorial last night. This synth should be at the top of any producers "go to synth" list. It's as good or better than Sylenth1, Massive, or Serum. Seriously!  Every producer should own this synth. It's lead, pad, and arp heaven too!

I'll post an update on some of my sound design results later :-)

...naah. Depends on the purpose. I have DUNE 2 and love it. It really kick Sylenth a** sometimes. No point in comparing it to Massive and Serum as they're better for different kind of sounds.

But have to admit, I didn't expect to like Dune 2 that much when buying it. Really great synth.

...but don't overdo it, because that's called being a d***k.

Nice! Where is this tutorial? BTW, keep pumping those sounds and share them if you can (the presets) :)

Having used it for a year now, DUNE 2 is the god of the massive supersaw. One instance of DUNE 2 = 8 independently crafted supersaws per note. And they just added an incredible new analog modeled lowpass filter that sounds awesome when overdriven.

I like this synth much more than Sylenth. So much cleaner IMO

Yes, I totally forgot about Sylenth1 when I got this one.
