DUNE3 worth upgrade to?

[Boreal Music]

I'm thinking to upgrade DUNE2 to DUNE3. An honest question to you DUNE 3 user: is DUNE2 worth upgrade to version 3? I think I know the answer already, but I'm still asking: what do I get more by upgrading? Can I use my DUNE2 presets in D3, does DUNE2 still remain in my registration area after upgrading? I really like DUNE1 and D2 and I'm temptated to upgrade to DUNE3. After all the versions are all different individual synths with the sound of their own...?

Here is a DUNE2 demo which I made years ago, just after purchasing the synth. It still sounds cool to me.

Though I must admit the demo of DUNE3 sounds quite amazing ...

D3 loads D2 presets

You can run D2 and D3 together.

You can demo D3, and look at what's new to help you decide.

I haven't used DUNE 2 since the day I got DUNE 3.

But yea as Krim said try the demo and see for yourself. The list of additions and upgrades since DUNE 2 is probably too long to list.

Shimmer Hall, Shimmer Room, and Rutaverb (or did that get renamed to Concert Verb?). New Chorus models and other additional models for some of the other FX. I don't remember at what version of D3 they were added.

Thanks for your feedback guys. Tested the DUNE 3 demo thoroughly. You have convinced me. I'm pretty sure Santa will bring me the DUNE 3 license

DUNE 3 upgrade license purchased . The preset sequences are kickass cool, especially with some filter automations. Are those sequence presets royalty free to use in one's songs?

My first demo sketches for the DUNE 3 VST synth. A bit experimental.

This demo is based mainly on the sequence presets of the DUNE 3 synth.
I've used only the DUNE 3 VST synth and its effects. No external effects in use. Automation curves of the DAW is used for the knob automations. You could play with these Dune 3 sequence presets for hours .

Happy New Year 2023 to all orionaut veterans and the users of Synapse synthesizers!
