    Excellent virtual synth with easy to use functions for basic use while offering deeper functionality for programming & sound design.

    You can't go wrong with any of the Synapse Audio synths these days. Great company.

    Dune 3 is such a flexible and great sounding beast, I'd say one of the top 5 synths currently. :wink:

    Ouch. That does not sound right at all, my friend. That's a shame.
    Must be your cpu then. Not actually ram related, obviously. It runs fine on dual core with less than a 3 ghz processor, because I've just helped out two friends with it.

    Dualcore 3.2GHz is better then quadcore 1.6GHz im aware + it is a mobile chip for a laptop but i got it for very cheap for what it

    Not always. But I said less than 3 ghz. And they were 2.4 and 2.6. So you do sound like you have a problem with that hardware.
    1.6 ghz, regardless of ram and cores, isn't enough to run the majority of modern synth plugins anyway.

    ? I don't know what you are saying here. An unrelated statement. It doesn't fit with the fact that 1.6 ghz isn't enough to run almost anything nowadays, and I doubt you ran the previous version of Dune on a 1.6 either. Or maybe you could only run that one instance?!

    @Smoove Grooves the latest version runs hot on my old pentium quadcore what is confusing about?

    I still have the first one but might also be interested in an upgrade some day, although I did own 2 for a while but wasn't impressed enough at that time. Probably due to other interests. Hmz I think I'll give it another chance when the time is right.

    Dune 3 is one of the best Synths available imo. Very good quality sound and probably one of the lightest CPU third-party synths around. I could probably load 10+ Dune 3 instances for every 1 instance of Diva (also a great synth, but generally much more CPU-heavy than Dune 3).

    I prefer drag and drop GUI (Vital, Serum, Pigments, Massive X, Hive). It is the only reason why I don't enjoy designing sounds in Dune3. Sonically, it is a beast, low CPU usage and killer features.
    But I only need Hive2 and Diva combo for all my synth needs.

    apparently a lot of people don't use the Oversampling option, it uses very little cpu in *low quality* mode, which is the default mode if you don't change it every time you switch presets. I wish the High Quality option could be turned on globally instead of having to switch it every time.
