Do you really think all the other users of DUNE 2 including talented sound designers like Kevin Schroeder, Rob Lee, etc and Rich himself wouldn't have noticed if something was "busted" ? You're awfully condescending and way too oblivious to your own inability.
Yeah, right. Read the topic heading. I assumed completely that I was doing something wrong from the very beginning, even though there was no indication of that when reading the manual. But it turned out that it is actually broken. Rich himself told me what the workaround is and, seeing that, there is no way that anyone would consider it anything but a bug.
As for Kevin Schroeder and Rob Lee, I don't know who either of those guys are, although I think one of them is a DUNE beta tester, isn't he? So it wouldn't surprise me at all if they hadn't noticed, unless they have some unique powers that reveal bugs to them that the rest of us don't possess?

So you're admitting defeat? How long did you spend trying? I got pretty close eventually but, ultimately, DUNE just doesn't sound as hard. It's too nice. I'd also point out that I am using Wasp version 5, which I think appeared with Orion v8, so quite a bit newer than 15 years. Anyway, it's a pretty lame comment in the context of the general obsession with 30-40 year old
analogue synths and making software sound exactly like them.
Use whatever you like but don't be afraid to turn around and face the future instead of living in the past......
I'm pretty sure I've spent more on brand new synths and related things in the last 18 months than you have. All up it would be in the region of five grand, I think. Not all of it necessarily cutting edge but it's very, very modern and all completely new to me. But I'm not about to throw the baby out with the bathwater just in the name of "the future" so I'll always keep using the things that do the best job.
