Synapse Audio DUNE 3 v3.6.5 VSTi, VSTi3, AAX x64 WINDOWS

DUNE 3 delivers the highest sound quality and lets you create sounds in a full range. A new dual filter, a powerful wavetable editor, and all-new effects make this the most advanced sound creation tool.

DUNE 3 is based on the award-winning DUNE 2 synthesizer. It adds frequently requested features and innovative ideas to make working with DUNE as convenient as possible!

DUNE 3 includes many new patches created by experienced sound engineers. Since DUNE 3 is fully compatible with DUNE 2 patches, it also includes presets, which increases the size of the factory library to more than 1000 patches.

Double filter
The updated filter section in DUNE 3 now includes a dual-mode filter and insertion effect. Various routing modes, such as serial/parallel routing and smooth blending with the Balance knob, open up endless creative possibilities! New filter types have also been added, including filters with zero-latency feedback, powered by our latest analog modeling technology. For creative applications, new insertion effects, such as a formant/verb filter or phaser, significantly expand sound design possibilities.

Double Arpeggiator
Two arpeggiator blocks instead of one significantly expand the sound design possibilities in DUNE 3. The arpeggiators can be programmed independently, supporting both classic ascending and descending arpeggios, as well as playback of various sequences or even MIDI files. Furthermore, new features like Random mode and programmable arpeggio hold make the arpeggiator more powerful than ever!

Improved generators
At the core of DUNE 3 are powerful oscillator blocks. DUNE 3 supports VA, FM, and wavetable synthesis. With a maximum of 8,320 oscillators and full polyphony, DUNE 3 is a true unison monster that’s unlikely to ever run out of oscillators.

DUNE 3 features a new “Swarm” mode—an enhanced version of the classic Supersaw oscillator. In this mode, each oscillator receives its own subtle modulation, giving the sound much more life than previously possible!

New effects algorithms
DUNE 3 offers a host of new effects algorithms across all categories, including distortion, chorus, phaser, EQ, delay, and reverb.

One of the most important additions is the new EQ, which leverages technology from our GQ-7 graphic equalizer.

Designed as a professional tool for mixing and mastering, the new equalizer offers four bands of high-quality parametric and shelving EQs, as well as two additional low- and high-pass filters with variable slopes. All EQ filters are designed to handle modulation without artifacts, allowing the equalizer to be used for creative purposes beyond traditional equalizer applications.

Another remarkable new effects algorithm is Shimmer Hall, a DUNE 3 exclusive. It’s perfect for creating rich ambient sounds, beautiful pads, and leads!

Wavetable Editor
The new wavetable editor introduced in DUNE 3 is one of the most powerful of its kind. Waveforms can be created using freehand drawing, segments, a dedicated fragment editor, or formula entry. A variety of functions, such as morphing, fade-in/fade-out, normalization, DC removal, and inversion, simplify the creation of new wavetables. Waveforms and wavetables can be imported and exported in WAV format, making them compatible with a wide range of third-party software.

WAV file editor
Starting with version 3.4, WAV files can be included in sounds in DUNE 3. This is done using Oscillator 3. A loop region can be set for the loaded WAV file. When looping is enabled, the selected segment repeats continuously as long as the note is played. Imported WAV files are 16, 24, and 32-bit, with sample rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz, and can be mono or stereo.
