Ultimately, it all looks and feels rather like the equivalent system in NI's Massive, which is certainly no bad thing considering that synth's continued benchmark status. The modulation depth is set using the aforementioned knobs, and you can also take control of how the three modulation sources interact.
Iris 2 izotope mod#
So, each target can have three modulators, and each mod source can target as many parameters as you like, including other mod sources. Over 100 of Iris 2's controls can be modulated, with assignments made by dragging the modulator icon from a source to one of the three Modulation Range knobs next to the target parameter. Meanwhile, the ADSR stages can be curved by dragging them.

Each of the 26 core LFO waveshapes (Triangle, Sine, Ramp, etc) is actually the first shape in a 'mini wavetable', enabling the LFOs to be modified using the modulatable Shape slider, which moves smoothly through the variants. The modulation system has seen a complete rebuild, with five syncable LFOs and five ADSRs. The Master Filter now includes 17 filter models, rather than ten, and in the effects section there's a new Digital Delay, as well as updated distortion models sourced from Trash 2. The sample and preset library weighs in at 11GB (v1's was 4GB) and includes a folder of classic synth waveforms, including the Arp Odyssey, Roland JD-800, Polymoog and Prophet T8, amongst others.
Iris 2 izotope upgrade#
The transformative GUI upgrade enhances the foldaway panel workflow with some detachable sections (sample Mix Panel, Envelopes and Macros) and improved colour coding. Iris 2 turns the original Iris concept into a more useable and considerably more playable instrument. Factor in the four-layer architecture, the Master Filter, and Master and Send Effects, and you already have an awesome sound design platform. Traditional sample looping is provided (forwards, backwards and one-shot), too, and you can still set each sample to one of three pitching modes: typical repitching playback (Resample), pitch shifting (Radius RT) and Fixed (ie, always at the same pitch, no matter which MIDI note is input).īetween them, these fundamental tools can turn even the most mundane of samples into all manner of weird and wonderful sounds.
