Synapse Dune 2 Explained
Synapse Audio Software has a killer synth utilizing Virtual Analog, Wavetable and FM Synthesis, bringing the best of it all to you, in one powerful synth package. Join Synth guru Larry Holcombe in this video tutorial journey out into the dune.
Videos
• Overview (07:39) - Larry explores the Dune 2 interface and its 4 areas A, B, C, D.
• Intro to Modulation (02:57) - In this video, Larry dives into the audio routing and patch structure in Dune 2. He also discusses the amplitude and filter envelopes and how to change skins in Dune 2.
• Oscillators Pt. 1 (07:32) - Larry teaches you all about the VA Synthesis type in Oscillators 1 & 2 and Unison modes.
• Oscillators Pt. 2 (05:10) - Larry explores Oscillators 1 and 2 WT synthesis mode. He also demonstrates the Position knob and produces evolving sounds using Wavetable synthesis.
• Oscillators Pt. 3 (07:00) - In this video, Larry tackles the FM synthesis mode and dual algorithms of Dune 2. He also discusses routing modulators to FM parameters to introduce timbre differences in sounds.
• Oscillators Pt. 4 (10:00) - Oscillator 3 - Larry explores the Ring Modulator, Ring Modulation, and Differential Unison Engine. He then demonstrates examples of changing parameters for each one of our voices to create huge sounds.
• The Filter Section (07:51) - Larry discusses the different parameters, models, effects and filter envelope.
• The FX Busses (05:49) - Larry gets us familiar with Distortion, EQ 1 & 2, Phaser, Chorus, Delay 1 & 2, Reverb and the Compressor.
• Modulators Pt. 1 (04:37) - Larry explores the envelopes in Dune 2. He demonstrates multiple segment envelope generators, creating customized envelopes, looping the envelope to create LFO type effects, and copying and pasting envelope settings.
• Modulators Pt. 2 (03:21) - In this video, Larry all the LFO shapes and parameters and using MSEG’s to modulate the LFO parameters.
• The Modulation Matrix (06:52) - Larry discusses assigning parameters and modulators in the mod matrix, their sources and destinations, and the differential unison engine in Dune 2.
• The Arpeggiator (08:51) - Larry explores all the Arpeggiator modes, step sequencer and all of their parameters.
• Sound Examples (07:02) - In this video, Larry gives some sound design examples including: Creating a squelchy Bass Sound and a uplifting pad sound.
