DUNE 3 builds on the award-winning DUNE 2 synthesizer, adding new features and innovative ideas to create the best DUNE experience ever! DUNE 3 comes with many new patches created by experienced sound designers. Since DUNE 3 is fully compatible with DUNE 2, it also includes its sound presets – doubling the size of the factory library to over 1000 patches.
The revised filter section in Dune 3 now includes a dual multi-mode filter and an insert effect. Various routing modes such as serial/parallel and seamless blending with the balance control allow for unlimited creativity! New filter types have also been added, including zero-latency feedback filters based on our latest analog simulation technology. For creative creativity, there are new insertion effects, such as a formant/vowel filter or a phaser, which greatly expand the range of sound design possibilities.
Dual arpeggiator– Two arpeggiators instead of one greatly expand the possibilities of DUNE 3’s sound design. The arpeggiators can be programmed independently and receive both classic Up / Down arpeggios, and play various sequences or even MIDI files. Plus, new features like the Random mode or the programmable Arp Hold feature make the arpeggiator more powerful than ever before!
Oscillators – At the heart of DUNE 3 are its powerful oscillator blocks. DUNE 3 supports the following synthesis: VA, FM and Wavetable. With a maximum headroom of 8320 oscillators at full polyphony, DUNE 3 is a true polyphonic monster whose possibilities can hardly ever be exhausted.
New to DUNE 3 is the “Swarm” mode, an evolution of the classic Supersaw sound generator. In this mode, each oscillator gets its own modulation, breathing much more life into the sound than was previously possible!
Updated effects – DUNE 3 offers many new effect algorithms in all categories such as distortion, chorus, phaser, EQ, delay and reverb.
One of the most important additions is a new equalizer that uses technology from our GQ-7 Graphic Equalizer. Designed as a professional EQ for mixing and mastering, it features four bands with high quality parametric and shelving EQs, plus two additional low and high cut filters with different cutoffs. All filters in the EQ are designed to adjust the modulation without artifacts, so this EQ can be used for creative purposes other than traditional EQ plugins.
Another great effect is the new Shimmer Hall, a DUNE 3U exclusive feature perfect for lush background sounds, great pads and leads!
New Wavetable Editor– introduced in DUNE 3, is one of the most powerful. Waveforms can be created using drawing, segments, a dedicated part image editor, or by entering formulas. A variety of functions such as morph, fade in/out, normalize, DC remove, invert/reverse make creating new wavetables very fast. Waveforms and tables can be imported and exported in WAV format and are thus compatible with a wide range of third party software.
