Seems like a playable version of Izotope RX.
Grain it up!
Man I love Izotopes stuff.

Saw this earlier today, looks great. Played with the demo a bit and sounds great too. I love these kind of tools where most results are unexpected, great for experimenting. I wouldn't call it a granular synth though.

Here is a video review/walkthrough of the features

I'm going to buy that, and from now on, all of my music will be composed out of the sound of me coming while I watched those videos.

Your running a single instance here though, can you comment on how it handles with like, 3 or 4 open and layered?

Things could get intense using this as individuals in a greater patch.

Not my video, stumbled across it on designingsound ;-)

I only played with 1 instance, and tbh my old machine is already shitting itself with few voices, nevermind a few instances :lol:

Yeah, don't seem to be anything new here...


Loads of metasynth in this tune.

I got the email for that but didn't really look at it.

It looks pretty cool for ambient sounds (which I'm trying to explore more). It's only $149 until May 4th so I may buy it.
I just bought Ozone 5 a few days ago though X(

looks like it would be sick for modulated sounds and crafting detailed sounds.

That looks amazing, may well be worth an investment :D

wow its the same price as IL harmor (im beginning to get annoyed with how potentially powerful harmor is yet it having flaws with things like the buggy image reading stuff!)
not a fan of izotope ozone 5 because of the maximizer (overrated IMO) but wow this is good, i have my eye on this Iris :D

Hopefully there will be a boxed version at the music tech expo I'm going to on Saturday.

If anyone has used isotope rx, then you will see the enormous potential iris might have

wow iv had a few hours of messing around in this, not only is it fun but its sounds incredible. its good for anything, even basses!
can totally make fucked up basses by adding distortion at the end and then highlighting inharmonic parts of the sounds on the sample.
you can get plenty of movement in your basses without automation with this. try it yourself you will be in shock! im definitely buying this asap!
EDIT: only thing i didnt like was not being able to automate sample start points.. they seriously need to include that in an update :mrgreen:

My 6 year old daughter found this dusty old cd the other day. Took some explaining.

Kinda ironic to come across this post after reading that post about feed me's facebook. Either way, it's things like iris that will continue to showcase the endless possibilities of digital sound design. It's cool.

I just got an email back about getting student pricing (actually finished in December, but I have a letter saying I'm graduating in spring so I'm milking all the discounts I can get).

Guess I can get it for 130 USD (was kind of hoping it would be 50% off of 150). Now I have to decide between this and alchemy :(

I'm liking the look of this to so may well be getting added to my artillery.

Between Iris and Harmor, which one is better and why?

im trialing iris and i bought harmor last year, id say iris sounds a bit better and has more possibilties, harmor is a good synth but it takes a very long time to make a good patch.
harmor is kinda limited and u have 2 rely on the compressor and distortion 2 get rich sounds + it sucks when inserting samples because everything gets timestretched when u move from the original note (litterally no way of changing this)
also the image converter is pointless, once u import an image back in it sounds like shit even if you havent even altered the image, makes no sense.
