Great program
I use this a lot for recording, it’s priced very good for what you get!

Isis
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.

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.
