Undocking the Patch Browser

Iris’s Patch Browser can be undocked and resized to ﬁt your screen by clicking on the icon to

the left of the Close button. Click the same icon again to bring the Patch Browser back into

the main interface.

MACRO CONTROLS

Iris 2 includes eight Macro Knobs to allow for easy manipulation of several parameters

simultaneously. Macros have been assigned to each patch in the Iris 2 library by the sound

designers themselves to provide you with quick and easy access to the most relevant

parameters for each patch. The macro controls are available in both the simple and full

versions of the Iris 2 Patch Browser, and as an undocked window which can be opened by

clicking on the small arrow next to the Macro Assignment Buttons in the Modulation Panel.

For more information on assigning and using the knobs, see the Macro Controls section in the

chapter on Modulation.

FULL BROWSER

The Full Browser gives you a more detailed view of your currently loaded patch and also

allows for the importing and exporting of patches, as well as the selecting and auditioning of

samples or oscillator waveforms (OSC WAVS):

At the left side of the browser you can choose to view patches, samples, or oscillator

waveforms. When viewing patches, categories of sounds (like bass, lead, or pads) will

be listed on the left with the patches in those categories listed along the right. Samples

loaded along with the patch will be shown to the right. The Patch library cannot display sub-

categories or folders, however a user can create additional custom folders in their designated

library location.
