PhonoBrainer Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Let's not forget the .38 cents in virtual cash that shall accrue from this purchase. This seems like a no brainer for Iris 2 - what's the catch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleer Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Yeah, Iris 2 is pretty, pretty good, with 10GB of sounds to boot. Has been very cheap to free for some time now. Get it while you still can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bradley Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Agree about Iris. It's not an everyday workhorse by any stretch of the imagination, but if you're into sound design or just need something weird that doesn't sound like the normal subtractive-analog, fm, or wavetable synths, it's in the no-brainer category (for me) at $10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Even if you never use it again, you can get $10 worth of fun just fiddling with it for an afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Carpenter Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Yeah at a cheap price Iris 2 is OK. Edited August 25, 2020 by Tony Carpenter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I installed all my go to iZotope plugins, I deliberately didn't bother with installing Iris 2. I have lots of better options. Lots of better options?

Full ultimate collection of native instruments with massive etc. Full Arturia 7 collection, East West collection. And many more, Iris 2 simply under the pile in comparison as I have built up over time. Wasn’t looking to brag btw.

It was a blanket fact, for me Yep, and also demonstrates the point I expected to make. Thousands of dollars worth of gear and plugins vs a $10 purchase. Thought others might appreciate the context of the statement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies, it was never meant (even though in hind sight it does) to look like a crapping on it. It's good for someone with much less choice :). I edited the ***** out :)... sorry again.

abacab Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) How many other synths use a similar method of sound generation? I think spectral filtering of samples is pretty rare... and for $10 a no-brainer! From iZotope Iris 2 Help Documentation: Quote The heart of Iris 2’s Spectral Filtering, this is where you can view your sample as a Spectrogram (Frequency/Time), Waveform (Amplitude/Time), or combination of both This is also the area where you can draw filter shapes and modify sample playback options like loop points and crossfades between those loop points, as well as playback offset and delay... The spectrogram displays selected parts of the spectrum in a blue/green color, and any filtered part of the spectrum is represented in grey Selections are made using the tools listed in the following section You have the option of viewing the spectrogram with rulers for frequency and time... In addition to the Playback, Pitch Mode, Loop, and Retrigger controls in the sample panel, there are five sample controls located in the spectrogram area, four of which have visual indicators on the spectrogram itself All of the numeric value controls for these parameters are located just beneath the spectrogram, and are represented in samples for maximum resolution and fine control... Loop Start and End: If you have set your sample to Loop, you may want to adjust the start and end points for the loop You can adjust these with the two “handles” (indicated by blue arrows) appearing between the spectrogram and the Waveform Overview By default, Iris 2 engages our Intelligent Zero Crossing technology when adjusting loop points using these handles This means that any adjustments you make to the beginning or end of a loop point using the handles will automatically snap to a phase-coherent zero crossing... Etc. Edited August 25, 2020 by abacab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not a synth that you would necessarily turn to when in full flow as it's easy to get caught up in and before you know it four hours have passed, but it's way cool IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
