DUNE 3 Sound Design Tutorial Episode 1: Layers

[@RichieWitch]

Watching tutorials like this make me realize how little I know about my favorite softsynth. 😁

[@wernerotti6712]

I am a proud owner of DUNE 3 , this is one of the best synths I' ve ever heard , great work - just INSANE !!!!

[@luisfinch3586]

I agree, I'm so impressed, I am considering selling my access TI2.

[@candoraudio3159]

YES YES YES more please. Dune is my most used synth and I have a lot of them

[@sd4beatsmore]

Nice one Demis, as always. Please keep these tutorials coming. I can't say how much I love the sound of Dune, it's the mutts nuts👍

[@Indianabones007]

Totally agree 😂

[@Goat.Herder]

This is a truly wonderful synth. I was going to buy pigments but this is just so easy to use and sounds warm and thick. It reminds me of a software version of the Virus Ti and I think after playing with Dune 3 that there has been some inspiration from the Ti (and why not!)

[@Andre_Kolodziej]

What a great tutorial, calmly explained. Wonderful. It's becoming increasingly clear to me what a great synth my Dune 3 is.

[@ElectronicazMusic]

I could listen to that note progression forever..... Excellent tutorial too. Thanks.

[@kevvvvv01]

One of the best arp tutorials I've ever seen. Cheers Mate

[@jeffreyhanc1711]

Dear Synapse: with all respect, your marketing and publicity team has to step it up. Why this gem of a synth is not breathlessly discussed as those of Xfer/Arturia/Spectrasonics/U-he etc is beyond me.

[@stefanelf7794]

Excellent tutorial! It’s nice to see how the mod matrix works for the MSEGs. I would never create more than one instrument sound per instance of Dune, but I really enjoyed the demonstration of what it’s capable of!

[@snakedogman]

Very nice, definitely going to watch the rest of the series!

[@Marco-ek8wu]

Thanks for this, really helpful. Dune 3 is an absolute cracking synth. So easy to to use.

[@Lets-Drone-With-Bone]

Excellent dune 3 tutorial, Learnt a lot from this one. Dune 3 is one of the best vst instruments out there, very ubderrated plugin capable of some amazing sounds, I use it a lot for ambient sound design

[@jochenrenner3767]

Great tutorial, thank you! Dune is really great and I'm happy to own it. If you have a wish list for further tutorials I have 2 here as they are not that intuitive to use: + Midi in the Sequencer/Appregiator + Importing Wavetables

[@fuzemedia7940]

This synth is an absolute dream, and these tutorials were all that was missing. Please keep them coming

[@hansigutten]

Great 😃 I have never tried taking it this far… Now I will give it a go 🎹 I really love the sound of Dune 😎

[@frankl9598]

Great Work. Thank you. I have Serum, Synthmaster, the Roland Cloud Ultimate and since one Year Dune 3. I have use Dune 3 for two Times and then i have forgot him. 🙈 Now, thanx of your Video i love to have him and will use him more times from now. Thanx again from Hamburg Germany!

[@synthtronix]

Excellently explained! Thank you for this tutorial. I'm already looking forward to the next one!

[@DoctorJRx]

This opened a whole new universe for me !! Thank you

[@Carillo-Patrick]

Super TuTo, j'utilise Dune 3 depuis un an et toujours aussi heureux de l'avoir.

[@amulpatel]

This is fantastic inspiration for those of us that own Dune.. thank you

[@PC-stuk71]

Awesome, much thanks Demis - I am going to try this tonight

[@simonlegrec]

Brutal Synth

[@ricshaw4358]

Excellent Tutorial - Fantastic Synth

[@mryouchiniro1074]

Great synth SynapseAudio ....keep doing the great stuff

[@Indianabones007]

Thanks Demis, an awesome tutorial! Loving this synth.

[@demishellen]

Thank you, happy to see you are enjoying Dune 3 😎

[@Indianabones007]

@@demishellen yeah, I have bought a few synths recently but this one I want to learn, already starting to get my head round it and the sounds are the best I’ve heard. Where can we download the preset? I don’t see a link for it. Do the mseg presets come with it then? Thanks again

[@EricJNeedham]

Thank you - that was excellent and so well explained.

[@MaziMazi92]

Love dune! Make more videos! Make some simple sound like plucks and synths lush sounds too :D

[@Thaizer]

Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@davidpurple3698]

Thanks a lot. Great Tutorial - keep up the great work.

[@SunlightOfTheSpirit]

I see some of the presets have 'breath' as a CC option. The manual doesn't have it as a number value. I'm trying to assign my controller to it and it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas what number it is?

[@synapseaudio2488]

The Breath Controller is CC 2.

[@SunlightOfTheSpirit]

@ thanks, I found it eventually. My keyboard didn’t have the CC2 to select from but I found a 0-8 template that allowed me to map it eventually. Thank for the reply.

[@TheValueOfN]

I've just bought this amazing synth and it's blown me away. I absolutely love it! I'm conflicted though: it seems that this programming process is geared towards those who wish to press one key on their midi controller and have certain changes be dictated by the mod wheel. Surely that is limiting the potential results because - for example - osc 1 will always be modified the exact same way if - for example - osc 2 is modified to a certain extent. Surely we'd want osc 1 to behave differently sometimes when osc 2 is doing certain things(?) Of course, it's possible to load up multiple instances of Dune, (other synths are available), in order to separate the modifiers and the way that they affect the individual voices and surely that would be the preferred way to use VSTs so that we're not locked in to one particular sound at CC 1 = 0 and one particular sound at CC 1 = 127. If I want a different sound at 127, then that ain't going to happen. Surely, it'd be better to program different sounds on different tracks in the DAW so that more control of those individual sounds would be available(?) I'm confused and I'm brand new to synths of such high quality so I profusely apologise if I seem to be dissing Dune 3... that's certainly not what I'm doing.... I'm trying to understand.

[@smmmyes8807]

This is great! Keep em coming! Can we please get an arpeggiator for Obsession? It sounds so great, and.. it is a shame it doesn't have one :/

[@paazpad7522]

Thanks 🙏 Great tuto ! I’m in ! Love this plug 😍

[@piet245]

Thank you so much for your nice Work. I hope i can a lot more to see those Tutorials.

[@pietrobassoli]

Perfect and super ....i can start to create my presets......DUNE3 = NUMBER 1 really powerfull

[@Gregster-HH]

NICE ! more of this :-D ... i already got Dune 3 ...

[@SeraphimHanischMusic]

Dear Demis, is it possible to make this preset available for direct download, along with the MSEG templates you created? I am trying to imitate what you did from the video, and so far it is not going very well (((

[@synapseaudio2488]

Sure, here you go: www.synapse-audio.com/dune/Preset.zip

[@SeraphimHanischMusic]

@@synapseaudio2488 Thank you! This is a big help for me to understand the situation!

[@Alexander-Tkachenko]

Hello! Please tell me why Pitch Bend is not automated for me when using DUNE 3? I work in Cubase, I am trying to record automation and it is not recorded. I tried to select this parameter manually and I did not find it in the list of parameters available for automation. Please help. Thanks in advance.

[@synapseaudio2488]

Hi, are you using the full version or the free trial?

[@Alexander-Tkachenko]

@@synapseaudio2488 I tried the demo version, the pitch is not recorded in Cubase. What other limitations are there in the trial? Thanks in advance.

[@Heleno.]

I use Keys Step Pro to control and sequence some digital synthesizers installed in Ableton, including Dune 3, Arturia Pigment, etc.. I create music which is composed of several Synthesizer Presets. When I'm playing the song live, and I need to change from one Preset to another, I go into the Sound Bank of the respective Synthesizer and select the Preset to change. I ask: Is there a way in Ableton itself, or a Plugin, that I can select the Presets of each Synthesizer and from this selection/mapping I can activate the preset that I will use? As if it were a screen that showed the Tracks for each Synthesizer, with their respective pre-selected presets. Is there a more practical and agile way to do this?

[@deniscapoen7843]

Very intéresting. thanks😀

[@rashpeg]

Super! Thank you very much.

[@SuperRomanHoliday]

anyting for beginners anywhere?

[@synapseaudio2488]

Sure, here is a video covering all the basics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXrQoKeupMeMg80

[@Heleno.]

Hi, I would like to select some patches, and group these patches to facilitate their use in a performance, what procedure do you suggest?

[@kaeganscott26]

Got stuck on trying to recreate your preset in mseg1....wish u just showed how to do that cuz now mine sounds nothing like yours....

[@synapseaudio2488]

Download the patch, link is in the video description.🙂

[@Alexander-Tkachenko]

Please tell me how to raise or lower the sound an octave or two up or down, for example in Serum everything is simple, I pulled the number and that’s it, but I can’t find Dune 3? Thank you in advance.

[@synapseaudio2488]

There is two possible ways, change the Semi knobs in the oscillator section or use the mod matrix to pitch everything up (destination "Common/Semi").

[@Alexander-Tkachenko]

@@synapseaudio2488 Thank's

[@Alexander-Tkachenko]

@@synapseaudio2488 Thank's

[@nicolasgallo6626]

Hola se puede bajar la afinacion ? como ?

[@provenhuman]

Is there something more basic ie for people who do not know what an MSEG is for example?

[@synapseaudio2488]

Check this for a basic introduction: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXrQoKeupMeMg80

[@gurumajuindonesia]

SICK! this is awesome!

[@kabukijoe99]

good lessons. Do some lesson about Dune 3 and some Depeche Mode sound

[@DragonRockProductions]

Where do we download the patch?

[@synapseaudio2488]

It is here (also added to the video description): www.synapse-audio.com/dune/Preset.zip

[@ibidokielekima2243]

what app did you the dune vst

[@synapseaudio2488]

You mean the host app? Demis uses Cubase usually.

[@lk0707]

Nice stuff, but this would be a nightmare in real production or use such a preset, because all layers should needs to mixed separately. Sounds good anyway.

[@partlysimpson5154]

It is good synth, but all the other Synapse products do have disntinct synapse sound, "shine" or softness, so I wonder if they could actualy do but different character each of their products

[@TeksonikAudio]

You left out the hardest part which is properly tuning MSEG 3.

[@alainthiry3965]

thank you, very helpful. i have a complain: . programming the sequencer is antique... no way edit with playin the notes or intervals, or have a graphic grid with pitchs etc... basic sequencers of reason make better things since long time
