3 The Center Screen
This chapter explains all parameters inside the center
screen. The center screen hosts the patch manage-
ment, global settings, patch settings, the modulation
matrix and the arpeggiator.
3.1 Main
Selecting a patch
Each musical sound that you can play is called a Patch.
A patch is selected by clicking on the patch name in
the center screen:
Alternatively click on the left/right arrow buttons to
go to the previous/next patch inside the current bank.
Dune 2 comes with 300 patches, sorted into cate-
gories like Bass, Lead, Pads, Special FX etc. The de-
fault bank shown is "Showcase", a collection of some of
our favorite patches. Click on Soundbank to choose
a different bank/category.
Soundbanks and Patches are stored in the following
directory:
•
Mac OS X :
Music/Synapse Audio/Dune 2/Soundbanks
•
Windows :
User/Documents/Synapse Audio/Dune 2/Sound-
banks
Each patch is a single Cubase .FXP file, a common
format for storing patches. Any directory within the
Soundbanks directory represents a bank. Thus you
can easily organize your patches and banks within the
Soundbanks directory.
Below the patch name, the patch description section
gives some information about the currently selected
patch, for example what the modulation wheel does
to the sound, or whether the patch is intended for a
particular tempo.
Important note for Dune 1 users:
Dune 2 keeps the active patch in memory, not the en-
tire bank. Always save patches you edit, switching to
a different patch will lose your edits!
