    Are there any tracks where iZotope made an appearance on this new record? Yes! Iris has made a few appearances for ambient sounds. It’s in the title track “I Like it When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It”, along with Stutter Edit on the vocals.

    In an interview with Fader, Arca gives a live presentation to the interviewee of how he produces music. This is his experience: "One afternoon, in something of a music journalist’s dream, he boots up his computer with the intention of giving me a live demonstration of his composition process. Using another program, called iZotope Iris, he takes the sound of a lawnmower, cuts a random geometric shape out of a graph of its composite frequencies, outputs a new sound that sounds like a choir of cooing lemmings.

    Starts talking about it at 28:32 "This bass sound is just like a layer that I made with iZotope Iris. I remember when I just got it. Basically iZotope stole a meme that I posted, and they posted it on their Twitter and to apologize they sent me all their plugins for free. That's when I got this and started messing around with it."

Description

Highly capable virtual instrument.

Create sounds that have never been heard before and and discover sounds you've never heard. Play sounds that exist in nature but never before with this level of clarity and effective emulation. An inspiring sample-based synthesizer, Iris 2 is immediately playable-combining the power of a sampler, the flexibility of a modular synth, and the fun of spectral filtering.

Get started fast 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. Explore a new world of musical possibilities with Iris 2.

Iris is an innovative, sample-based synthesizer that empowers you to create musical sounds like never before. Start by layering up to four distinctive audio samples, then use the spectrogram display and selection tools to spotlight the most interesting spectral characteristics.

Still hungry for more? Add attitude, dimension, and depth to your creation by applying iZotopeʼs world-class effects: chorus, reverb, delay, distortions, ïlters, and more. Or modulate more than one hundred parameters through a simple, single-click-and-drop assignment system.

    Amazing!

    Honestly my favorite VST to use. It can make such unique sounds out of the weirdest samples! It's very cpu heavy though so be ready for that.

    Really cool name. And so it was on sale so I bought it and it comes with so many samples and sounds but is a bit of a CPU hog isn't it? I mean takes awhile to load in the DAW doesn't it? But for the sale price I couldn't beat it, could I?

    Combines painting with synthesis

    Haven't had it that long, but I love the potential of this thing. It allows you to spectrally mask parts of whatever you feed it, or augment it. Very powerful potential.

    Amazing soundscapes which feel surprisingly natural.

    Having this is like owning a paintbrush which can paint beautiful or mysterious worlds: with sound This truly opens gates to accessible, but amazing creation of natural pads and deep audial atmospheres.

    Fascinating concept

    Bought this cause I love Izotope and this looked interesting. It has a sampler, synth and spectral filtering in a very interesting interface using 4 samples slots and you can use tools like in photoshop to paint your sound out from...hard to explain but its cool and can lead to some very unique sounds.

    Flash sales...

    Been curious about Iris 2 for a while so when it went on sale for only $49 bucks I kind of had to jump in. Haven't had it long yet but I started tweaking around and it's already clear this one is going to be a ton of fun. Zero buyers remorse thus far.

    I do have to dig deeper before adding a comprehensive review. That might take a lil' bit since I really haven't been using any soft synths even my DAW much lately. Been all hardware and saving all of my songs in those pieces of hardware. Soon I will be ready to dump everything into Ableton for further processing and I imagine that's when I'll start digging in to Iris 2 and the like.

    That said, it's already clear that this will get a lot of use. Likely more than most of my soft synths with a few exceptions.

    It's intuitive, it's fun, fast, and it so far is killer for sound design – the latter being a big favorite here. Lots of control & fast for creating your own sounds.
