Improvising with the Iris 2 patch Mixolydian Sax Arp from the upcoming set no 79 - live on video, of course there is also an Iris 1-version, here is the description:
Mixolydian Sax Arp
Playing a mixolydian arpeggio up/down on my soprano sax, free in time - the spectral selection in S1 (set to Radius RT-mode) is very narrow, selecting different overtones per note, often skipping the root note. S2/3 use a time-stretched and further processed version of the arpeggio, S3 looping only the last root note. MW decreases LP filter cutoff and adds some distortion. Each oscillator has it’s dedicated volume control (Macros 3-5), Macro 1 adds pan modulation (different LFO speed per oscillator), M2 adds chorus, M6/7 control reverb/delay mix.

In the Iris 2 version, all samples use the main volume envelope assigned to master volume, Macro 8 controls attack time. An additional sample is playing in oscillator 4 (soprano sax tremolo), control volume of oscillator 4 with aftertouch.

I just sent out 25 freshly converted Iris 2 patches to all subscribers, as usual some modulations were added where it seemed necessary, other things were simplified to work around the obstacles in Iris 2. In two of the patches I also added new samples in oscillator 4. An updated patchlist which mentions the changes made in the Iris 2-patches is included in the download folder. There are now 327 Iris 2 patches available including 7.8 GB of samples, the price for the Iris 2 subscription was moderately raised to € 65 EUR, the price for the total Iris subscription remains as is (€ 120 EUR).

Here is another video featuring 4 of these converted patches, improvised live on video.
