Synapse typically has BF deals of 40% off.
You could get it (broken link removed) though. Just sayin
Yeah, the UI is the weakest aspect of Dune. Hopefully Richard will improve this for Dune 4.

So what you’re saying is I should buy it right now…

Trust PB, yet some deals make me skittish. Is this what It seems ?? i.e. full Iris 2 + some (bass) content ? for ~ $20. ? Read and re-read

How long have I been out?
Iris 2 has been selling new around $10 brand new, sometimes with extras, for most of this year I believe. I have occasionally seen it at around full price, but only a couple of times. I guess it wasn't selling at full price.Trust PB, yet some deals make me skittish. Is this what It seems ?? i.e. full Iris 2 + some (bass) content ? for ~ $20. ? Read and re-read

It makes lovely sounds pretty much whatever you do with it. Even lovelier when used by someone who knows what they are doing: there are some great presets around.
I'm also glad to say that the GUI is resizable.

This is legit. I bought IRIS2 for a tenner years ago. After all the earlier discussion, let me just add that I kind of like of what this synth does. But maybe somewhat in the same vein Steinberg Padshop 2 is a more usable engine, AND still at least gets some love from the developer. But for this price, IRIS won’t disappoint.Trust PB, yet some deals make me skittish. Is this what It seems ?? i.e. full Iris 2 + some (bass) content ? for ~ $20. ? Read and re-read

Not intended for me, but I'll chime in. There is a guy going by "CHOOS" at the KVRAudio forum who for a long time was responding to people's how-do-I-make-this-sound requests by creating the sounds in Charlatan, a free plugin. He lately has been using Vital. He gets damn close a lot of the time, and it shows how many of the synth sounds out there can be made with one synth plugin.
Ableton's synths are damn good sonically. I don't like their tiny GUIs, but you can go very far with them.

Honestly? Some of the best around. They sound very good. The AAS ones are cool little cousins of Chromaphone. Operator hits the sweetspot when it comes to quickly dialing in some 4 operator FM stuff. Wavetable is a very capable synth as well. And I like how they’re all mapped to my Push 1 controller. Use them all the time really.
As a matter of fact, one of my coolest recent acquisitions has been OctoCell. A great FM / additive hybrid conceived by some of the people from IRCAM. Full on Ableton synth. It sounds ridiculous really. And I also spent a lot if time with Modalys by IRCAM lately (MAX For Live synth).
Evolving Finally by Najo
OctoCell combines additive, FM and subtractive synthesis in an accessible interface. Stack up to eight oscillators, each with their own individual FM options, and dial in an array of modulation and en

For BF I have my eyes on the IRCAMAX 2 bundle. So yeah, quite a good platform for synthesis.

THX ! Will watch more closely. Dune @ $99. seems strong option.
Added Pigments 3 recently and watching Phase Plant for BlkFri deal.
Omni v2.8, Spire, Massive X, Repro 1-5, Vital _ have been mainstream.

I chose Hive 2 > Dune 3 primarily because I think the virtual oscillators sound better, and think both would be definite overlap. But, if that's OK, then Dune 3 is a great synth. If you have one you really don't NEED the other. Want is something else...
And I'm selling Pigments 3 on KVR because, no matter how many times I tried, I simply couldn't connect with it and had zero interest in continuing to try - a lot like the Peak when I tried it. Doesn't help that it's so CPU heavy - even Vital is lighter weight.To be sure I'm on-topic: I think Hive 2 should've been on the original list, as well as Dune 3, Vital, and Pigments 3. All of them have the clean, modern vibe with lots of features, functions, and voices for atmospheric pads or cutting/pulsing basslines.

Agreed (I think). Hive 2.1 is one of the best sounding synths I know, maybe only topped by Bazille. I think Dune 3 is indeed more of a “want” for me right now.I chose Hive 2 > Dune 3 primarily because I think the virtual oscillators sound better, and think both would be definite overlap.
