Filter Effect
: Some filter modes in Dune 1
offered extra gimmicks, such as a distortion or
bitcrush effect. Dune 2 offers a separate filter ef-
fect section with a variety of such effects as well
as auxiliary filters. The filter effect section can
be applied pre- or post-filter.
1.4.3 Graphical Envelopes
Dune 2 introduces four multiple segment envelope gen-
erators (MSEG). MSEGs can be used to draw pre-
cise custom envelopes, or they can be used in loop
mode tempo sync’ed to the host, which allows to cre-
ate rhythmic effects such as the well-known "trance
gate" effect.
1.4.4 Unison
One of the most important changes in Dune 2 is the
ability to edit all 8 unison voices directly, turning Dune
into a multi-part synthesizer.
This allows to stack
completely different sounds, using different synthesis
models (VA, FM, Wavetable), a different filter, etc.
1.4.5 Arpeggiator
The arpeggiator now offers the classic up/down/random
modes known from many synthesizers, and works bet-
ter when playing live via a MIDI keyboard. The step
sequencer adds a slide feature and allows to import
MIDI files. Polyphonic sequences can be played back
as well.
1.4.6 Master Effects
The new version of Dune features two master effect
busses, each containing 9 effects rather than 6. The
new effects offer higher quality and more parame-
ters than previously. Individual unison voices can be
routed to either effect bus or both.
1.4.7 Patch Management
The patch management in Dune 2 is now entirely
based on files and folders.
Each patch is a single
file (FXP), folders represent banks and categories.
When launching Dune 2, all available banks will be
scanned automatically. This greatly simplifies using
third party content, as it is no longer necessary to ex-
plicitly load banks. Sound design becomes easier, as
the file-based system allows to duplicate, remove, and
rename patches, and to sort them in arbitrary cate-
gories. Additional functions like Initialize and Revert
Patch speed up the workflow.
