I know this video is several months old but I wanted to thank you for this guide. I recently got Dune 3 and it has fast became my favorite synth and I have been using it in nearly every project.
You're very welcome! I think Dune is really a sonic treasure. By the way I'm an official reseller and you can buy from plugins from Synaps in my shop: udiaudio.com/collections/synapse-audio You can also join my discord server: discord.gg/baDA8Thr
it's my go to synth, because it has the right feature set, not overcomplicated, but a fantastic sound and very low CPU usage as well, so it's a safe bet.
When I've built my rig, it was the first virtual synth I've bought (Dec. 2014) as DUNE 2, then upgraded to DUNE 3 (as promo, during Feb. 2021). It remains one of mine favorite virtual synths (with u-he Diva and SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II).
Reading you comment I thought let me check it out that SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II. It sounds fantastic. A deep house machine. I just wonder does it runs new machines, vst3 or clap. And most of all, it is stable enough to depend on.

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.
Hi, I also work on Cubase and it's really impossible to automate it with Dune 3. But you can always use a pitch band with Cubase track (note expression)
Not sure I understand your question but if you buy from my shop udiaudio.com you will get license key you can register on your name in synapse website.
Please tell me, I don’t understand how to raise or lower the sound of the oscillator by one octave or two, after Serum it’s unusual, I can’t find the regulator.
Thank you very much for this in-depth demo. Much appreciated. I don't know if you would compare Dune 3 with any other virtual synths and how well it matches up.
Hey It's really hard to compare these synth since each one is a little different. I found that it's easy to get very thick sound with Dune and there are some unique features but Pigments is more feature reach and Hive have it's own thing. You can check my beginners guide to these synths and compare.. You are also welcome to try the demo before you buy. If you do decide to buy please concider supporting the channel and buy from my shop: udiaudio.com/products/synapse-audio-dune-3
@@UDiAudio Thank you for the reply. I do appreciate your opinion about the inability to compare various synths. It's just that I've already spent a mini fortune in buying them 😀! But I am now playing around with the Dune 3 demo version. I will certainly use your link if I do consider buying it. I also intend looking at your other videos. I am so glad I found your channel. It is different from many others because you are doing a great job of systematically explaining the synth.

I find myself using it more and more

I love this synth too.

Same here, Dune 2-3 and Diva cover my needs!
Great sounding synth!
I love Dune 3.. it does sounds great.
I'm glad to see that you're still here with us, and safe. I wish you, you friends, and family continued safety over there.
Thank you my friend. Yes I'm still around and working on new videos and live streams.
I'm safe and currently out of range. Let's hope for better days.
@@UDiAudio thank goodness!
The major/minor unison sounds so good! Sounds like classic rave pads (cause they were just resampling chords)
This synth is so thick 🎹
I love it

Honestly, I have no idea. I suggest you contact Synapse Audio support, they are very friendly

I think it’s one of or possibly the best sounding VIs out there. Would love to know more about creating sequences in this, do you just import midi?
Totally agree. It's a killer synth. As for MIDI.. there is no option to create, import or export the sequence.
@@UDiAudio You can import MIDI, but it has to be created elsewhere (in a DAW), there is no option to edit it.
@@InXLsisDeo No support for import or export of MIDI
Its also the best sounding VI thats also extremely well optimized.
One of the best synths.
Totally agree.
If I buy dune 3 from their synapse audio website will it go to my files and would I be able to download it to fl studio?
Not sure I understand your question but if you buy from my shop udiaudio.com you will get license key you can register on your name in synapse website.
Great sound and can be as simple or complicated as you like.
Indeed.. I was actually suprised I liked so many presets.. :)
Looks like a nice piece of software, thanks for sharing man
Thanks for watching.. let me know if you have questions
Excellent video sir!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent explanation 👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
A true EDM powerhouse !!
Absolutely 👍🏼
Do you possibly know how to remove all fx and rerverbs? And keep the signal unprocessed? It happens to be an issue when i get into mixing the song.
The only way I could find is to go to the FX BUS1 and FX BUS2 tabs on the bottom and turn off the effects one by one
How do you make drums with it
You need to synthesize it..
Dune 3 has a section similar to the random phase of Serum? My bass moves all over the place
Honestly, I don't know.. try asking the support they respond very fast
Please tell me, I don’t understand how to raise or lower the sound of the oscillator by one octave or two, after Serum it’s unusual, I can’t find the regulator.
Hi Alex
On the top left you will find a button titled 'Semi' which you can use to tune. +12 semitones is one octave up and -12 is one octave down.
@@UDiAudio 12 semitones, this is a very ingenious solution, thank you very much for your answer.
Guys this is on sale until Aug 1st 2024 for just $119 (instead of $199)
Hi , does work with kontakt ?
It’s not a kontakt library. It’s a VST plugin. But it’s NKS compatible
@@UDiAudio Thank you so much
NKS yes but seems to not have patch previews. @@UDiAudio

IT has no visual indication that a parameter has been controlled by hardware\MIDI. Not good.
There's always room for imporvment I guess
