MIDI note input functions as a stream and therefore, even if only four voices are available,

hitting 10 notes on your keyboard will still require that we instantaneously try to process those

10 notes. As such, while using Radius RT, you may ﬁnd that hitting many keys at once will give

you worse performance, even if your Radius RT options are set to be more conservative.

Reset Radius RT Settings

Restores your Radius RT settings to Iris 2’s factory defaults.

Library Options

Iris’s Sound Library is constructed within a single folder containing Patches and Samples sub

folders. This hierarchy must be maintained in order to Iris to locate its patches and samples

correctly.

By default your Sound Library will be installed to the following directories:

Windows: C:\Users\(username)\Documents\Iris 2\Iris 2 Library\

Mac: /Library/Application Support/iZotope/Iris 2/Iris 2 Library/

Location

The directory in which Iris will be looking for your ‘Iris 2 Library’ Folder. Click the Set button to

navigate to a dierent directory for Iris to look for your factory library.

Patches & Samples Folders

Once the factory library location is set, the Patches and Sample Folder location readouts

serve as a visual conﬁrmation that Iris is successfully linked to the correct folders within your

Iris Library directory. Click ‘Show’ to reveal these directories in a ﬁle window.

Reset Library Location

This will change your Iris Library location back to its default state.

resulting in a lot of complex math and data streaming that needs to happen quickly. This

can tax your computer’s resources substantially, but here are some recommendations for

maximizing Iris 2 performance on your machine:
