Reply To: Zynewave’s Nucleum Synth in Beat Magazin ‘Starter Kit’

Yeah, that is one part of the problem with obtaining the synths. That came up the first time for me also. The green elongated button — in fact, the region in which the download button is found, looks much like that. When clicking on the proper green download button a whitish dialog screen opens in the middle, asking for a valid email and your name. At that point, you have the option of subscribing also; otherwise, your email is not used again after the final link is mailed to you.

I went through the entire thing in German, and mine is rather rusty! I ought to point out that the last time Beat had a package download offer that the same confusion reigned. On the forums, people are reporting in that it does work but some had to attempt the whole process 2 or 3 times. I can confirm it works too — I tried it, even though I already had DuneBE from last year. It’s strange, but I tell you, a DuneBE for FREE was well worth the hassle. This edition lacks only the second page of the matrix, or is it the chorus FX? (unneeded). And it cannot save newly built presets (I found a workaround for that by loading it into any version of Cantabile (even the free demo version). There are a half dozen free preset banks for any Dune version floating around the net already anyway. They work with CM and BE. They just ignore the missing bits when loaded.

Good luck!

P.S. The kick drum maker is worth having to me; Twisted Energy must be tried at the very least — strong basses and very sharp-looking GUI. I’ll say that same last for Dirty Harry also. Some also had success by obtaining Beat’s download manager there somewhere, but I’m told that step is not required. I didn’t use it.
