This is an major update, free of charge for all Dune 2 users, and as usual can be downloaded from our support area:

The following briefly describes what's new:
New Patches
The factory library has been extended to a total of 500 patches. The list of new patches can be found here:

Furthermore, as a little xmas gift, we added 250 Ambient patches by sound designer Armin Malbertz. The set is split into two parts A and B and can be accessed by clicking on "Soundbank". So the total number of patches that DUNE 2 comes with is now 750.
New Envelopes
The Filter ADSR section in version 2.5 gains an "Analog" switch, which uses a novel circuit-simulated envelope model for the filter and amplitude envelope. The circuit model is based on discrete vintage-analog electronics, and models the envelope with a very high accuracy.
The difference is usually best audible with fast attack times, where it creates a very "snappy" envelope. As an example patch, try the new patch "Precision Trance KS" then turn on/off the analog envelope to hear what it does to the sound.
New Filters
We added two new filter models named "Expander", a 12 dB type and a 24 dB type. What's different is that those filters are oversampled and can deal with saturation/drive much better than the previous filters. They also feature an improved resonance behavior above 10 khz and were designed to work best with the new analog envelopes.
AAX Version
Dune 2.5 is our first plugin that comes with an AAX version for ProTools 64-bit, both Mac and Windows. Please note that ProTools 11 or higher is required to run the AAX version of Dune 2.5.
