I feel the only way you can truly know the range of that synth is by programming. This is a supersaw with random pitch modulation of each oscillator in the stack, yielding a dense, wildly animated signal that sounds wicked on its own and makes for a viable alternative to high counts in other stack types when system resources are running low. The synth comes with a new dual multi-mode filter plus an insert effect. There's also a 30-50% off sale there now to Jan 2nd, 2017. Dune 2 I put in the same category as. I should own up, though: I have only ever read the first 50 or so pages of Dune.
Serum is very high fI sounding I think that's what you're hearing and one of the qualities I also like very much. . New filter types have been added as well, and include zero-delay feedback filters derived from our latest analog modeling technology. If I compare to Synthmaster Diva and I have also, I think the sound made slightly different but equally excellent dune2. You have all you need. The sound is similar: bold, forward and digital, but the synth architecture is even more complex and the features even more impressive. For me though, it does not fully replace Omnisphere or Alchemy.
Serum to me is just incredible when it comes to mid-rangey stuff not to mention that freaky control over the effects, which actually matches Zebra's. This makes patch design a breeze, and allows to morph or blend between layers easily. Some synths that may worth a look at. At full 16-voice polyphony, that equates to a preposterous 8,320 oscillators in action simultaneously. Are these impressive figures actually meaningful in real-world usage? The Wavetable Editor is quite laggy and slow to respond to mouse input on our test 2018 MacBook Pro, at any rate , however. Serum became my favorite Synth in the last year.
But also for pads I made some great stuff with it. I can't help but ask if you really need another expensive synth when you have two Swiss Army Knives that as long as you study them thoroughly , can pretty much accommodate your every synth need? Some commit fully to other-worldly tones, while others come off like weedy prog-rock jam sessions that were merely branded with a Fremen place-name. My favorite filters by far are the French and German, the rest to me are oddly flat, and to be completely forthright I think even the above are basically vanilla. But I have to agree, for a analog sounds Diva or Sylenth 1 might be a better choice although I think you can get very similar results in Serum if you know what you are doing. But hey, we all have different perceptions, more power to you if you come up with sounds like the above. Sand storm Between its well-equipped oscillators and flexible zero-delay feedback filters, the overall sound of Dune 2 is distinctly clean and rich in character.
I am surprised that this synth is actually quite different than other synths. A free 30-day trial is available from the product page. I'll post an update on some of my sound design results later :- Rob. This is an amazing sounding synth! Dune 2 is definitely one of those all-rounders that can deliver most of the sounds you're ever likely to want from a synth, from lush pads to thick basses and soaring leads. But these days we rarely use only one synth when building the layers in our music, and Dune 2 will contribute greatly to almost any mix — both center stage and in the background.
Each oscillator gets its own subtle modulation in this mode, breathing a lot more life into the sound than possible previously! A free 30-day trial is available from the product page. You can tell that it's digital, even though it confidently exudes many of the qualities of vintage analogue hardware synths. These are all exceptionally high quality for built-in effects - especially the reverb - and can be ordered however you please. You have all you need. Before we get to all that, though, a quick recap is in order.
All presets are properly tagged and include a custom parameter map. The complexity is in the modulation matrix, which is only accessed when needed. The plugin comes with an all-new Shimmer Hall effect algorithm, which is ideal for lush ambient sounds, wonderful pads and leads. I just finished a Dune 2 tutorial last night. Heavenly 17 Dune 2's filter has a Drive control and a choice of 17 types, including numerous high-pass, low- pass and band-pass variants, as well as 14 subsequent filter 'effects' for further processing - notches, combs, distortion, etc. Hopefully this will be improved in a patch.
It can certainly roar and growl when that's what you want, but the general vibe is expensive-sounding and glossy. But curiously the pads are not as good as those of a Diva. Fresh filter Another major architectural upgrade has been implemented in the filter section, which now houses two filters and an insert effect. In conclusion: Dune 2 is an excellent and user friendly synth. It is cold and dystopian, full of dissonant drones and alien tape loops. Within the workhorse category there's already a thread about Avenger Vengeance Audio that was launched just recently.
The filters are blended with the Balance knob, and can be routed in parallel or series, with the effect inserted before, in between or after them in serial mode. To reiterate: each of Dune 2's eight layers can be deployed 100% independently of the others, sort of like the two layers in LennarDigital's Sylenth1. They sound exceptionally smooth and utterly convincing in terms of 'analogue' realism. It's important to note that Dune 2 is not backwards compatible with Dune 1 presets. When working with new synths these days though, you get the feeling that everyone is going use them to make techno or trance — and Dune 2 is no exception listen to the below sample. Here you will find breaking news, the popular web radio channel , the and — a premium selection of music videos. I just bought Dune 2.
On 18 May 2018 we celebrated 10 years online. Get Closer To New Age Music. I have never programmed a synth faster. For starters, you can now switch between two independent arpeggiators, and toggle playback with a footpedal or other controller via the new Arp Hold modulation target. Though they make use of similar instrumentation — keyboards and sequenced modular synthesizers — these records do not sound the same. And I love making plucks with it, so crispy. Another interesting wavetable consists of 22 transient waveforms, seemingly sampled from a variety of live instruments, and including drum and percussion sounds as well as piano, bass and flute.
