Heh... thanks...

First I print the manual, read thru it. If I still need some practise
Can you download the videos? Because I don't have an internet connection in the studio

Just discovered this thanks to the "New Gear" thread. Looks like a great tool for ambient soundscapes, drones, etc.

Wow, that's even awesomer! Seriously impressed with this program so far.

Agreed its great for ambient stuff but I think the spectral synthesis concept works well for percussive things as well. Think of carving a wall of sound into spectral components and the putting a very short attack on iy and using it as a new kind of drum kit. Some of my favorite loop libraries come from sculpted noise of some kind.

When I realized that samples could be imported the first thing I did was grab a drum loop. As you said, it's very powerful for percussive manipulation.

This also made me realize that the "tools" are extremely limited. I think we need more than a round paintbrush and magic wand. And where is the tempo grid? If we lock to tempo (and we will) I'd rather not guess at where to drop my tools. The ability to edit within a grid would be welcomed. And more editing tools, please! I don't know what exactly -- be creative.

Yes for now you can use LFOs for tempo sync or build one-shots and use them independently with midi triggering. But tempo tools will come next I'm sure.

I agree with you, elambo. This opens the door to some pretty cool ideas. More ways to "get inside" will be appreciated.

But it sounds like they're listening and are committed to continued development... if this sells.

I bought Iris, I love bringing in my own acoustic samples and playing into samplers that can really turn things upside down.

I do wish there was a way to consolidate samples into the patches/ samples folders- I created a couple patches with samples from an ext drive, then ejected the drive and my patch was gone. This becomes a nightmare when working with samplers, at least the way I like to work. If Iris could consolidate custom samples brought in to a user sample folder that would help immensely, esp with the somewhat random way I work.

I'm loving this program. It's making it a lot of fun to grab a toy synth and see what kind of sounds can result. This is all from a Yamaha PSS-270:

That would be sweet, although I wonder how easy it would be to implement in practice.

There is! Two kinds of saves. One saves the patch and samples all in one.

Have a client, who likes to change vocals, samples, etc. into a "darker" sound. With Iris you can easily do the filter thing, but more selective and selecting the right frequencies.

Can't wait to install the full version today incl. the two packages.

Here comes a non-meditation loop made with some of my Tremor Beatz processed and spectralized in Iris. Iris is sure becoming one of my additional beat machines in the future....it's great for carving out spectral bands and enhancing transients with the magic wand tool.

Sampleconstruct, you are the man (woman?)!
It's very refreshing in a forum usually dedicated to users that whine about the limited feature sets or specs of this product or that to see someone like yourself embracing a new product and instantly churn out multiple interesting and creative pieces. Well done.

Thank you - man is correct - Iris either clicks or it doesn't, it clicked with me right away and I don't miss the missing features at all. Everything one wants to do is possible with a combination of Iris and other Plugs.

Cool, LIghts! I'll check for how to do that. Thanks for the tip.

For those who have bought this already, are the two add-ons (Glass and Wood) worth it? The demos of Wood didn't sound that great to me, but the Glass demos sounded decent.

Trying to decide if they're worth the extra $50 or if I should save my cash...

Same way you would load/record any other RTAS 'INSTRUMENT' (i.e. keyboard midi controlled virtual instrument)?

After playing with Iris some more, I can already see a number of things that would be nice to have:

1) Ability to set the sensitivity of the Magic Wand. Right now I find it somewhat random.
2) At the least one more LFO per layer and/or the ability to have more than one destination.
3) Definitely some more modulation options.
4) The ability to selectively modify amplitude (as someone mentioned, like an "opacity" option for selections). I found out Alchemy already has this, so it would be nice to see it here too.
5) Some greater selection tools/options besides inversion (like the ability to expand/shrink selections). As well, some more lasso types like point-to-point or magnetic (ala Photoshop).

This has got the makings of a pretty sweet piece of software, so I'm eager to see what else gets added in future updates.

I agree. Currently, it feels as though it's at about 20% of its potential. I hope Izotope stays on top of it.

I agree that it feels somewhat limited in its current state. I have been tempted to get it but haven't decided yet.

One thing that I fear could happen, is that Izotope does the same trick as some of there other tools, comes up with an "advanced version" - that is the one that comes at much higher price, one that is developed to it's full potential.

Hopefully this is not the case - hopefully they will develop this single full version and will tell us about it - at this point were I guess a lot of us are considering if this is worth getting, more insight in the plans could make a big difference.

I bought them, but mainly because the introduction price was nice. I wasn't able to install the full version yet. Still working with the demo.

+100 for point 5... Photoshop calls this Transform... in general the tools should have similar parameters available like Photoshop.

Yeah, that would be balls if they decided to do that. I dunno, I'm a bit on the fence about this one. Even at only $150, I feel I'd like a bit more for the money, especially since stuff like Alchemy (which also does spectral synthesis plus a whole lot more) is only $100 above the "intro" price of Iris.

6 more days of demo'ing to go before deciding...
