No joke Must be a little bug somewhere... Even worse of a demo than ... "a competitor that was discussed here recently"

It was pretty cool on drumloops where you could extract the basssy part for instance. Maybe there was and i missed it, it would be cool to have constant pitch and that the keys would change some other parameter .. of some sort. Maybe there was...

Can you say BUGGGY! I knew you could!

That's ridiculous!

I'm sold. I find this really fast and intuitive to create beautiful, musically useful sounds. Alchemy, while also fantastic, requires a whole lot more fiddling about. I really don't see them as replacing each other.

The only *almost* deal breaker is the lack of time-stretching. It seems like such an obvious oversight that I can't believe they didn't include that functionality. Hopefully in a future version...

Oh yeah... hell!

My late-night session left me impressed, but the cold light of morning has me downshift into neutral.

I'll play with it a bit more.

THIS is the new industry-standard-term!

I just had a look at the demo myself and instantly had the same feeling. So far nothing that makes me really go "WOW!" in comparison to Alchemy.
The synth controls seem to be quite limited and the is no real mod matrix. Anyway i'll have another look now.

Now I'm really sold on this:

I think you have to try and make your own sounds from scratch with your samples to really appreciate the possibilities with the tools and the fast workflow of this little beast. Drag'n'drop some files onto it. Set the regions. Choose playback method and tune it. Draw some areas and start playing.

Spectral Wonderland = beautiful sound , amazing stuff .

I just dragged & dropped one of my own samples into the Iris Standalone using the Windows Explorer and it worked nicely. Cool feature but it does not seem to work with the VST plugin in the same way. For the VST plugin i have to use the file browser of Ableton Live 8 to do drag & drop.

I agree that importing your own samples and "playing" with that sample it is fun.

I imported a Hypersaw sample from the Virus TI and got something which sounds like a Mellotron choir from it. I'll check with some samples i made for my PPG Wave 3.V soundbank.

"Spectral Wonderland" sounds wonderful. I am intrigued by Iris. I own Alchemy but I find it prohibitively difficult to make anything myself.

Thank you Brick and Arglebargle (dig that username!!)

That's a limit of Live I guess. That too works fine in Reaper.

arglebargle! I scream that at the top of my lungs sometimes just for the fun of it. I'm not understanding what this does. Is it like Max where you draw a picture and the sounds come from that?
(Still upset with Izotope that the Audio Enhancer plugin is locked to Soundforge)

The drag-drop works in the VST in Cubase (from the explorer) in Win7 x64.
