The TelenatorI suppose I could have posted this below in the Nucleum forum area, but this is merely a news blurb in the first place.
A little like the freeware — usually referred to as ‘Magazinware’ — that is offered on disk free each month with purchase of CM, the UK-based Computer Music magazine and cousin to the MusicRadar website, Germany’s Beat magazin is offering the Zynewave Nucleum synth in what it called its ‘Starter Studio Kit’.
Currently, it comes with the house trance synth called ‘Dirty Harry’, that they neglect to list among the other five, a bass kick drum generator called ‘KickLab BSP’, the trance synth ‘Twisted Energy’, Synapse Audio’s ‘Junglist’, and probably the reason this ‘kit’ is most heavily sought after and downloaded, it headlines with Synapse Audio’s free version of DuneBE (Beat Edition).
The DuneBE is the same great sound as the award-winning $139 USD version of Dune, except in particular it will not save new presets, yet can be used to load and play all of the several soundbanks already available free or from preset designers. New sounds, of course, can still be dialed up but only used in real time and not banked.
This is extremely famous company for the humble Nucleum to be keeping. Dune is a well-known and universally respected synth. The BE edition is also a bit more full-featured than the similar magazinware DuneCM edition of the synth.
I’m including the link for the Starter Studio Kit but must caution that the download may take several tries and is usually only in German on their website, adding to difficulties if you don’t speak Deutsch or have the means to translate the page via Google or another programme. This may all be worthwhile nonetheless for that free copy of Dune, and the other synths are quite interesting as well. I have the kick drum synth and it is quite powerful in its ability to create practically any bass drum you might imagine. Dirty Harry has a lot of attitude of its own as well. I recorded two songs using Twisted Energy as a bass synth last year — very good for this purpose and professionally skinned and designed. Altogether, this kit provides a nice snapshot of the Euro dance scene’s music generation machines.
Scroll down about halfway, look for the name ‘Beat’ and click on the large green button saying ZUM DOWNLOAD or GRATIS DOWNLOAD. It opens a small window to enter your name and email, to which the download link is sent. Again, a bit of a procedure and some have reported doing the steps 2 or 3 times to make it work. I have DuneBE and can testify that it is one of the best magazinware synths available, with a unique and very thick voice engine and sound. Enjoy.

adimatisHi Tele,
I might got it wrong, but I thought that link will provide the access to the actual synths you described.
It only gives me the .pdf of Beat Magazine – which of course is nice.
Is there another step to take, or that was all that is?
Thanks,
Adi
The TelenatorYeah, 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.
The TelenatorFor what it’s worth (and I think, A LOT), THIS is the correct zone with green button you need:
Jiri_SmolikNo luck I am afraid. Tried it four time the regular way and I got only PDF. Refreshing it many times did not help either and exploring Beat website revealed nothing as well. Google helped me though and I finally tried this pack. Just gave it a quick fly, but overall I am happy with it. Junglist and Kicklab are really sweet. Especially Junglist with its 32 waveforms avaible and built-in chorus and distortion can do some brutal leads and basses.
adimatisThat ^^^.
Do you have a link that you found to be working? Thanks,
Adi

It was quite easy to find it on google 😀 I sent it to you via PM.
adimatisWell Jiri, I apreciate your link, but it only took me nowhere. I mean no where I would have liked to get….
I will try some more, but if I won’t get these, I fine – have more than I actually really use.
Thanks guys!

Sadly, I didn’t find better link to get it. Good luck in search.
