SAMPLE MIX CONTROLS

Below the Tune controls are knobs for Pan and Gain. These are also both modulatable.

Pan is a linear control that controls the left/right balance of the sample across the stereo

spectrum. Like the tuning controls, its default position places the sound at the center of the

stereo spectrum when the knob pointer is positioned straight up.

Note: Because Iris 2 supports stereo samples, the Pan control will only aect the balance of that

stereo sample. For example: A stereo sample that is right-channel only cannot be panned to the

left.

The Gain control is logarithmic and adjusted in decibels. You will also notice that attached

modulators will aect the Gain control (and be represented on the outer rings) in a logarithmic

way. There is a range of 105 dB in the Gain Control (-Inf to +6 dB).

The Pan and Gain controls can be adjusted in the same way you adjusted the Fine Tune control,

by clicking and dragging on the knob. If you need even more resolution for your Gain control,

you can double-click on the value and type in a value out to 5 decimal places (e.g., 5.98423 dB).

SAMPLE EFFECTS SENDS

Iris 2 has four dedicated eects processors that can be selected to operate in Send Mode (a

Gain control that controls the amount of eects applied to each individual sample) or Master

Mode (a dry/wet control that adjusts the balance of how much of the eects will be applied to

the complete mix of all the samples).

The four modulatable eect send knobs located in each sample panel will only be activated

when Send Mode is enabled. Send Mode can be enabled by clicking “Send” next the Master

Eects label on the master panel:

When the Send button is lit up in a blue color, that indicates that Iris 2 eects are in Send Mode.

The text in the Sample Panel Eects Sends will also become white. All text and knobs are greyed

out when Send Mode is disabled.
