WHAT’S NEW IN IRIS 2
A flexible new modulation system
Iris 2’s modulation system was completely rebuilt from the ground up. Now, over 100
parameters can be modulated using up to five LFOs, five Envelopes, MIDI Expression
Controllers, and Macro Controls with a simple, single-click-and-drop assignment system.
The LFOs contain 20 dierent wavetable types, each with multiple shapes and a
modulatable control to morph between them, all while monitoring the shape changes with
real-time animation. The advanced ADSR envelopes oer adjustable curves, draggable
nodes, invert mode, and modulation of all four parameters. MIDI Expression Controls like
Key Tracking, Velocity, Aftertouch, and Mod Wheel can be hooked up through the same
modulation system and saved with Patches. Macros are quick and easy to assign, and their
controls appear in the Patch Browser, as well as an undockable window that can always be
open for quick adjustments to customize your sound.
Every pool can load a sample or classic oscillator waveforms
To increase flexibility, the Sub section from Iris 1 has been replaced with a sample pool that
allows you to load any sample. Additionally, dozens of classic analog oscillator samples or
oscillator waveforms (OSC WAVs) are now available in all four sample pools and quickly
accessible right from the spectrogram area.
A completely redesigned interface and experience
Each knob, button, panel, feature, and workflow has been reviewed with input from
dozens of artists and users. We’ve optimized Iris 2 to be an instrument that helps inspire
creativity and introduce new possibilities into your musical process.
