Introduction to Iris
THE WORLD IS YOUR INSTRUMENT
Out of the box, Iris 2 is an inspiring and playable musical instrument, packed with
hundreds of inspiring patches and an intuitive interface to easily make them your own.
Under the hood, Iris 2 is an innovative new approach to sound design. With the power of
a sampler and the flexibility of a modular synth, the sonic options are limited only by your
imagination. In place of digital oscillator algorithms, Iris 2 gives you samples of classic
analog synths for warm, timeless sounds, and the ability to load and manipulate any other
sample from your library. Apply modern modulation, filters, and eects to reveal an entirely
new palette of musical possibilities. With Iris 2, designing musical sounds has never been
so creative, intuitive, and fun.
