Set 44 was just released, here comes the info:

Iris Subscription Set 44, uploaded on May 13 - 2014 containing 12 presets (262.6 MB) including:

Big Filterscape Split
Electronic texture made with various synths processed with patches from DNA for Molekular. Each oscillator plays a different segment from the same sample, overlapping split, S1 mapped up to C4 (C5 in Iris), S2 mapped from C3 (C4) upwards. The inverted Modwheel controls LP filter cutoff. Macros 1+2 (x/y) control amount of Delay/Chorus FX. M3 adds temposynced amplitude modulation to both oscillators.

Bizarreness Split
Electronic texture made with various synths processed with patches from DNA for Molekular. Each oscillator plays a different segment and spectral selection from the same sample, overlapping split, S1 (running in Non-Retrigger mode) mapped from C2 upwards (C3 in Iris), S2 mapped up to C3 (C4). The Modwheel adds fast random pitch modulation to both oscillators. The FX section runs in Send-mode, Macro 1 (x) adds distortion to the lower sound (S2), M2 (y) adds Delay FX to the upper sound (S1). M3+4 are dedicated reverb sends for each osc.

Brain Pings
Two electronic textures made with various synths processed with patches from DNA for Molekular. S2+3 use the same sample, a perforated percussive texture (Rattle Hits), S2 running in Non-Retrigger mode playing the full frequency range. S1 uses the percussive sample Brain Ping. Each osc has a dedicated volume control (Macros 4-5). Apply pitch modulation to S2+3 using the Modwheel. The FX section is running in Send-mode, Macro 1 (x) adds Delay FX to S2+3, M2 (y) controls various delay parameters. M3 adds reverb to all oscillators.

Dark Droners Split
Two drones made with various synths processed with patches from DNA for Molekular split across the keyboard, overlapping split point C3 (C4 in Iris). S2+3 are layered and play different segments of the same drone. The inverted Modwheel controls LP filter cutoff. Macro 1 (x) controls amount of Delay FX, M2 introduces temposynced amplitude modulation to all oscillators. M3 adds flanging, M4 controls flanging speed.

Jetstream Droner Split
Two electronic textures made with various synths processed with patches from DNA for Molekular. S1+2 use the same sample (Phase Droner) playing different segments and spectral selections, mapped up to C3 (C4 in Iris). S3 (running in Non-Retrigger mode) uses a long tonal, rather cosmic texture mapped from C3 (C4) upwards. The inverted Modwheel controls LP filter cutoff. Macro 1 (x) adds temposynced pan modulation to the upper sound (S3), M2 (y) adds temposynced amplitude modulation to S1. M3 controls amount of temposynced Delay FX.

Nightingale Resynthed Split
The resynthesized/metasynthed field recording of a lovely nightingale singing outside my studio window is used in all three oscillators, playing different segments and spectral selections. S3 is mapped up to B2 (B3 in Iris), S1+2 (running in Non-Retrigger mode) are mapped from C3 (C4) upwards. All oscs have a tiny bit of pitch modulation applied. The Modwheel adds aliasing distortion and Chorus FX. Macros 1+2 (x/y) control amount of Delay/Reverb FX, M3 controls LP filter cutoff.

Nightingale Scape
A processed segment of the field recording of a nightingale (only the repeqting notes between the verses) singing outside my studio window is used in all three oscillators, each osc playing a different spectral band and segment of the same sample. S1 plays over the entire range, S2 is mapped from C3 (C4 in Iris) upwards, S3 is mapped up to C3 (C4). All oscillators are running in Non-Retrigger mode. S1+2 both have a slow LFO assigned to their volume, so they fade in and out at different speeds. The inverted Modwheel controls LP filter cutoff. Please have a look at the Macro section to see how the 5 assigned Macros affect the sound.

Oud Harmonics Texture Split
A textural Oud sample recorded during the first sample session for my Alchemy library Aqualignum is used in both oscillators, overlapping split point is C3 (C4 in Iris), both oscs are running in Non-Retrigger mode. The Modwheel adds pitch modulation. The FX section is running in Send-mode, Macro 1 (x) adds Chorus FX to the upper sound (S2), M1 adds distortion to the lower sound (S1). M3 adds Delay, inverted M4 controls LP filter cutoff (post FX send, so the high frequencies are still coming through the FX returns), M5 adds reverb.

Permutated Nightingale
A segment of a field recording (with the singing pauses cut out) of a lovely nightingale singing outside my studio window, processed/destroyed with Permut8. The 3 oscs are layered and all play different segments and spectral selections of the same long sample. S1+2 are running in Non-Retrigger mode. The Modwheel shifts the oscillator balance towards S3. S1+2 have pan modulation applied, so the birds fly around the stereo field. Macro 1 (x) adds Delay FX, M2 is assigned to various delay parameters. M3 adds random pitch modulation to S3. M4 adds a strange reverb ambience.

Iris Subscription Set 46 uploaded on June 29 - 2014 containing 8 presets (219.3 MB) including:

Bowed Psaltery Melancholy Split
S1 in the high register plays a long bowed psaltery soundscape repeating the same motif with variations, granulated and reverbrated. S2 in the low register plays a sample with layered and processed trombone swells borrowed from my HALion 5-library Sonic Cinema. S3 (also high register) only plays the reverb tail of the sample used in S1. S1+2 play in Non-Retrigger mode, split point is B2/C3 (B3/C4 in Iris). Control the volume of S3 using Macro 3. M2 (y) controls LP filter cutoff, M1 (x) adds Delay FX. M4 controls amount of Chorus FX, M5 controls chorus depth. The Modhweel introduces noise-shaped pitch modulation to the psaltery scape and temposynced ramp-up-shaped modulation to the brass sounds.

Easter Mass Split
I recorded the long field recording used in this patch during an easter mass in a Moscow church, packed with hundreds of people, priests and choir singers. The sample is split up into 3 segments with different spectral selections playing in the 3 oscillators. S1 mapped up to C2 (C3 in Iris). S2 mapped from C2 (C3) - B3 (B4), S3 mapped from C4 (C5) upwards. S2+3 play in Non-Retrigger mode.The Modwheel adds distortion. M1 (x) controls amount of Delay FX, M2 (y) controls LP cutoff. M3 adds pitch modulation to all oscs, M4 controls modulation speed.

Plucked Psaltery Split
A multisampled psaltery patch, using 3 plectrum-plucked notes split across the keyboard with some spectral action during the looped decay phase. Split points are F3/F#3 (F4/F#4) and overlapping at C5 (C6). The Modwheel adds a tad of pitch modulation, introduce distortion with Macro 3, control LP cutoff with M4. Smoothen the attack with M5. M1+2 (x/y) control amount of Delay/Chorus FX, M6 controls reverb amount.

Psaltery Dots
The soundscape used in this patch was created by sending one of my Spectral patches from Spectral Excursions into a convolution reverb, using a psaltery octave-texture as the impulse response. Both oscillators use the same sample, the spectral selection in S1 - playing in Non-Retrigger mode - is extremely dotted (took about 2 hours to paint - LOL), S2 uses only the reverb tail. Both oscs have dedicated volume controls (Macros 3+4), S2 can be tuned down an octave using M5. M1 (x) adds square-shaped pitch modulation to S1 (+/- 1 octave with M1 fully engaged), M2 (y) controls modulation speed. Macros 6-8 conrol amount of Chorus/Delay/Reverb FX.

Psaltery Dream Scape Split
The sample of a sequence with processed psaltery intervals is playing in S1+3, mapped from C2 (C3 in Iris) upwards, S3 using only the reverb tail. S2 mapped up to C2 (C3) uses a soundscape made by sending one of my Spectral patches from Spectral Excursions into a convolution reverb, using a psaltery texture as the impulse response. The Modwheel introduces square-shaped, temposynced (triplet-based) pitch modulation to S1+2, +/- 1 octave with the wheel fully engaged. S2+3 play in Non-Retrigger mode. M1+2 (x/y) control amount of temposynced filter modulation (also triplet based) and LP filter cutoff. M3 controls the volume of S3, M4 controls amount of Delay FX.

Psaltery Drone And Riser Split
A long processed bowed psaltery drone is playing in S1, S2 uses a processed psaltery arpeggio, overlapping split point is C3 (C4 in Iris). S1 plays in Non-Retrigger mode. The Modwheel introduces temposynced amplitude modulation to both oscillators. M1 (x) adds Phaser FX, M2 (y) controls LP filter cutoff. With M2 turned downwards, the slowly rising filter envelope becomes audible. M3 controls amount of Delay FX, M4 controls delay time/feedback.

Psaltery Scale Scape
A rising plucked psaltery scale processed with various things is playing in both oscillators, S2 looping backwards/forwards for reverse effects. The Modwheel adds random pitch modulation to both oscs, control modulation speed with Macro 3. The FX section is runnin in Send-mode, M1 controls delay send for both oscs, M2 (y) controls delay time/feedback. M4 controls LP filter cutoff, when dialed to the left it also reduces the reverb send amount, as Iris' FX sends are routed pre-filter, so if you want a dull/filtered sounds, also turn down the delay send. M5 adds chorus to S1, M6 controls the sustain level of S2.

Psaltery Tremolo Duet Split
Two psaltery textures with tremoli/repetitions are used in this patch. S1 plays a bowed tremolo, mapped up to B2 (B3 in iris), S2 uses a texture played with Glockenspiel mallets on one note. Both sampes play in Non-Retriger mode. The inverted Modwheel controls LP filter cutoff. Macros 1+2 (x/y) control amount of Delay/Chorus FX. M3 introduces pan modulation to both oscillators, control modulation speed with M4. M5 adds distortion, M6 controls the amount of reverb.

I have no idea, ask your spam folder maybe, you´re always on the list and I did not get any bounces lately. I'll send you the respective emails in a minute.

Yeah that's the first thing I checked - thanks anyway for the quick response as usual

My pleasure, links sent. Strange though, sometimes the net just swallows things, although it has been working really well lately with group mails, I used to get dozens of bounces and always had to resent things manually again.

I just checked the records and it was my mistake, you were temporarily off the list in April when you unsubscribed for a few days, then when you resubscribed I forgot to add you the list agin, so: sorry.
