I´m currently demoing the Dune 2 - as a owner of several top synths, so far mainly positive experience. In a nutshell: Dune 2 seems to be a versatile synth, all-around, good in many areas. It capable to generate great sounds, but maybe not that distinctive, brilliant sounds (e.g. Sylenth 1 has a very special, distinctive sound, where as Dune 2 is maybe more versatile but not that unique). Especially I like the clear, well-planned UI of the Dune.
I´ve even glanced the manual through but haven´t found the answer to one very fundamental question: how to make the parameter settings you make, constant. E.g. if you create an arp pattern or adjust your fx or modulation, and then you want to test/compare how different presets sound with these tweaked parameters, how to tell Dune that you
wan´t keep the parameters (you want) constant/default. For me this is a very basic workflow feature - if you can´t define the adjusted parameters constant, this will make your life very hard - at least creating optimal synth track very slow and irritating process.
Therefore: how to in Dune 2?
Dune 2 arp UI is nice and e.g. the MIDI import is a good feature. But I keep wondering why in the arp implementation, most of the developers (not only in Dune) limit to the same parameters, e.g. up, down, up and down etc. It should be rather easy to expand this view, one good example is the "chord", the "chord" setting should include options how the synth plays the notes of (MIDI keyboard) given chord - e.g. if I play C dim chord, you should be able to tell the arp in which order, repetitions, note lenght etc. the chord notes are played. Why are the arp parameters that limited.

Re: Dune 2 workflow questionI presume what you are asking for is an A/B function? Or do you mean something else?
Re: Dune 2 workflow question
No - in A/B you compare two settings. In constant (or locking or freezing) you make settings, e.g. your arp pattern and then try how different samples/presets sound with the parameters you have adjusted. (While waiting the pre-read of this thread, I put this questions to the KVR forum as well, some useful discussion:) http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 1&t=444932
Re: Dune 2 workflow questionSave/Load ARP patterns is a long time wish. That would help you if implimented.
Locking sections doesnt seem very practical, unless you want all you sounds to be very similar. Windows 11 Home - 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400 2.50 GHz -32GB RAM

Thanks. I'll have a look.
