Description

The izotope iris 2 sample-based synthesizer is immediately playable, combining the power of a sampler, the flexibility of a modular synth, and the fun of spectral filtering. Start by layering up to four distinctive audio samples, then use the spectrogram display and selection tools to spotlight the most interesting spectral characteristics.

Get started by selecting from hundreds of expertly crafted bass, keys, leads, pads, and rhythmic patches. Then customize or build your own patches with an 11 gb factory library of intriguing audio samples, a modern modulation system, classic filters, evocative effects, and more. Add attitude, dimension, and depth to your creation by applying izotope's world-class effects: chorus, reverb, delay, distortions, filters, and more. Or modulate more than one hundred parameters through a simple, single-click-and-drop assignment system.

Zotope iris 2 features

New to iris 2:

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.

An epic library of content is included with your iris 2 purchase. The iris 2 sound library includes hundreds of exciting patches by world-class sound designers, plus an 11 gb sample library. Chock-full of 24-bit .wav files for use in any sampler, the sample library includes reorganized and remastered samples from the original iris+8 library, as well as 3 gb of samples for iris 2.

Get inspired by a wealth of creative tools at your fingertips. Each knob, button, panel, feature, and workflow has been reviewed with input from dozens of artists and users to introduce new possibilities into your musical process.

  • Extensive visualizations and metering : quickly identify the effects of your spectral filtering and processing. Every modulated parameter meters the effects of modulation in real time, and a version of the spectrum analyzer from izotope's award-winning insight metering suite is included right in the master section.
  • Enhanced effects and filters : the very best of izotope's award-winning signal processing technology is built right in, including distortion and filters from trash 2, a crystal-clean delay, and modulatable controls of nearly every parameter within the multi-mode master filter and four effects processors.

Load one of hundreds of patches and easily experiment with the most relevant parameters via macro controls.

  • Build your own synth : invent sounds that are completely your own by layering up to four different samples from a built-in collection of analog oscillator waveforms, an 11 gb sample library, or your own personal audio files.
  • Design your own filters : get the best-sounding and most unique filters by drawing, selecting, and isolating sonic components from each sample layer using izotope's award-winning spectral filtering technology.
  • Shape your own sound : develop expressive, dynamic, and evolving musical sounds withthe powerful and flexible modulation system. Access every control from onewindow, or reveal only what you need with a dynamic user interface.

Sounds:

  • Get started quickly with hundreds of patches by world-class sound designers, in categories like leads, keys, bass, rhythmic,and more.
  • Generate sounds from dozens of classic analog oscillator samples or oscillator waveforms (osc wavs), now available in all four sample pools.
  • Import your own audio files to craft truly one-of-a-kind sounds.

Patch categories:

  • Bass : explore bass patches containing thick subs, crunchy grit, vintage, or modern bass sounds—and whatever else in between.
  • Keys : the keys category gives you plucky tones and sweeping timbres, providing expressive jumping-off points for your track.
  • Leads : lead patches range from clean and bell-like to destructed mayhem, analog delayed, and gliding spectral colors.
  • Pads : iris's spectral selections and layering provide pads ranging from somber underscores to full and intricate melodic construction.
  • Rhythmic : the rhythmic patches make use of iris's extensive modulation system to amazing effect: pulsing beats and detailed modulation at times dirty and clean, spacious and close.

Audio sample categories:

  • Abstract : add an element of intrigue to your project with the abstract sound library. Sample categories range from pulses, rhythmic, and sweeps to fx and production elements. Add a "haunting drone" or "granular torching" to your track and transport your listeners to a brave new world of truly unexplored terrain.
  • Environments : from bustling casinos to sci-fi soundscapes, environments provides a diverse collection of ambiences ready for musical adventures. Load one of the samples and start tweaking instantly, transforming the familiar to the unique and the mundane to the mysterious. Environments is ideal for finding inspiration for your next track or production product.
  • Instruments : standard musical instruments are not always what they seem. Rediscover new beauty and intrigue within familiar sound sources through the instruments library. Instruments takes what you know and makes it fresh again by uncovering unconventional timbres and tones—bringing something special to the run-of-the-mill piano, guitar, and bass sounds you're used to.
  • Objects : explore the inherent sonic possibilities of objects—some everyday, and some not-so-everyday—in a musical and meaningful context. The resulting sounds are inviting, uplifting, and unusual. Objects is an eclectic collection of ambiences; the library includes exploits with bottles, mirrors, marbles, glasses, shards, and more.
  • Synthesizers : the synthesizers collection is designed to harness the varied sonic palettes and possibilities of classic synths. From the vintage modulars to modern masters, the synthesizers library spans a wide range of both musical and chaotic sources. Try creating monster stacks from an arp 2600, a moog modular, an oberheim eight-voice and an edp wasp. Start experimenting and you'll find everything from traditional oscillators to lush effects; glitchy rhythmic syncopations to fat bass sounds.
  • Toys : childhood sounds can be full of hope and sunshine—or they can be the eerie stuff of horror-filled nightmares. The toys library embraces both perceptions, resulting in a playful collection of child-like sentiments that can sometimesleave you screaming in the dark. Featuring a broad variety from children's instruments to a circuit bent speak & spell, the toys sound library possesses many possibilities for both soundtracks and sound design.
  • Voice : the voicelibrary melds the world of incredible spectral manipulation with the most powerful instrument there is—the human voice. From simple solo voices and choirs, to beatboxing, hooks, and vocoded rises, voice is dark, ominous, cheery, and wonderfully musical all at the same time. Breathe a human—or animal—element into your synthetic stylings with voice.

Unique spectral filtering tools:

  • Spectrogram display : visualize the frequency content of your audio and discover sonic details a traditional waveform doesn't show you.
  • Spectral filter : draw your own unique filter shapes and isolate specific frequencies to discover new sonic possibilities in your sample library.
  • Selection tools : use a lasso for free-hand drawing of anysize or shape, an adjustable brush for more fluid selections, and a magic wand for intelligent selection of harmonic regions.

Flexible modulation system:

  • Over 100 modulatable parameters : sculpt your signature sound using up to five lfos, five envelopes, midi expression controllers, and macro controls.
  • Envelopes :advanced adsr envelopes let you creatively experiment with your amplitude through adjustable curves, draggable nodes, invert mode, and modulation of all four parameters.
  • Lfo : morph and visualize shape changes with real-time animation. The iris 2's lfos contain 20 different wavetable types, each with multiple shapes and a modulatable control to move between them.
  • Midi controllers and macro controls : attach midi expression controls like key tracking, velocity, aftertouch, and the mod wheel, and save assignments with your patches. Create macro controls to control multiple parameters with a single knob in perfect proportions.

Enhanced effects and filters:

  • Distortion : addgrit and saturation to your sound with six distortion filters like tube, clipping, and aliasing, taken straight from izotope's award-winning trash 2.
  • Chorus : supply a subtle widening or radical flanging with a spacious chorus effect, inspired by a classic '80s synth chorus with modern flexibility and controls.
  • Stereo delay : enjoy lush, crystal-clean decays with a tempo-syncable stereo delay. A bonus analog-modeled overdrive algorithm crunches and darkens your delayed signal like a classic tape echo or bucket-brigade pedal.
  • Reverb : expandyour sense of space with a meticulously modeled plate reverb tailored specifically for synths, great for everything from subtle ambience to cavernous pads.
  • Filters : add a smooth, sweeping sound with 17 different filter flavors, including classic analog low-pass and high-pass filters as well as exotic vocal formant, band pass, and peak filters from trash 2.
