Synapse Audio has updated Dune 3 to version 3.6 which introduces a number of cool features. Dune 3 is currently available for £145.00.
What’s new in version 3.6:
- UHD Skins for high-resolution 4K/5K monitors.
- A layer mixer in the Voices section.
- Three additional vintage reverb modes.
- Full support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE).
- Microtuning support via MTS-ESP.
- The bell-shaped EQ gains a second type with a slightly softer shape.
- An additional Reverse delay.
- Drag’n’Drop support for WAV files.
- Copy/Paste Arp function.
DUNE 3 builds on the award-winning DUNE 2 synthesizer, adding frequently requested features and innovative ideas, to create the best DUNE experience ever!
DUNE 3 comes with many new patches crafted by expert sound designers. Since DUNE 3 is fully patch-compatible with DUNE 2, it includes its presets as well, doubling the factory library size to more than 1000 patches.
The scalable user interface supports Full HD, as well as Retina displays on the Mac.
The revised filter section in Dune 3 now sports a dual multimode filter plus an insert effect. Different routing modes like serial/parallel and seamless blend via the Balance knob allow for unlimited creative input! New filter types have been added as well, and include zero-delay feedback filters derived from our latest analog modeling technology. For creative applications, new insert effects like the formant/vowel filter or phaser greatly increase the range of sound design possibilities.
Two arpeggiator units instead of just one greatly increase the sound design capabilities of DUNE 3. The Arpeggiators can be programmed independently and support both classic Up/Down arps, as well as playing back different sequences or even MIDI files. Furthermore, new features like the Random mode or programmable Arp Hold make the arpeggiator more powerful than ever before.
At the heart of DUNE 3 are its powerful oscillator blocks. DUNE 3 supports VA, FM and Wavetable synthesis. With a maximum reserve of 8320 oscillators at full polyphony, DUNE 3 is a true unison monster, unlikely to ever run out of oscillators.
New in DUNE 3 is the “Swarm” mode, an evolution of the classic Supersaw oscillator.
Each oscillator gets its own subtle modulation in this mode, breathing a lot more life into the sound than possible previously!
DUNE 3 offers many new effect algorithms in all categories like Distortion, Chorus, Phaser, EQ, Delay and Reverb.
One of the most important additions is the new Equalizer, which sports technology from the GQ-7 Graphic Equalizer rack extension.
Features include:
- VA, Wavetable and FM Synthesis
- Two oscillator stacks with 32 oscillators each
- Third oscillator and white/pink noise generator
- 8x Unison = up to 520 oscillators per note!
- Comprehensive Wavetable Editor
- Full version comes with 1000 patches
- Dual Arpeggiator with MIDI import
- Dual filter with Balance and serial/parallel routing
- Analog-modeled zero-delay feedback filters
- Four graphical envelopes (MSEG)
- Three low-frequency oscillators (LFO)
- Modulation matrix for synth and FX parameters
- Two Master FX busses with 9 high-quality effects each
Dune 3 is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX)
