2 Basic Operation
2.1 Overview
The Dune 2 interface can be divided into four parts
(see fig. 2.1).
•
The center screen (A) hosts the patch manage-
ment, global and patch settings, the modulation
matrix and the arpeggiator. The center screen is
covered in chapter 3.
•
The right side (B) contains the master section
with global volume and the polyphony setting,
as well as the unison voice controls. In contrast
to its predecessor, Dune 2 allows to directly edit
the eight unison voices, either all at once or in-
dividually. This makes Dune 2 a multi-part syn-
thesizer which facilitates synthesizing more com-
plex sounds.
•
The gray switch buttons (C) toggle the bottom
view between the keyboard, effect busses, LFOs,
and four graphical envelopes (MSEG).
•
The remaining knobs and sliders (D) are Dune’s
main sound parameters: The oscillator stacks,
mixer, filters, and ADSR envelopes. The lay-
out roughly follows classic synthesizers, with the
oscillators on the left, followed by the filter in
the middle and the envelopes on the right. Each
unison voice has its own set of sound parameters.
All sound parameters are covered in chapter 4.
