after alchemy i got a lot of my needs accomplished with it, but still i am interested in iris, but it seems nothing was improved/updated/added yet?

Iris is still as cool as it was when initially released, with or without improvements it does what it does.

i know you love it still i miss many things i listed before and those are crucial for me, syncing of the most and biggest issues so samples are played synced and maybe stretched too.

Iris was just released a couple months ago. You can't expect a major update with new features already. Nobody has reported any major bugs, but about all you could expect in this time window would be a bugfix update. No bugs = no update.

Awesome demo Simon! And this is a great subscription, so if you like Iris you must check out what Simon/Sampleconstruct has created running his samples through Iris. It inspires me to try and do similar things, but I need much more practice.

The only update I still wish it could be, is "timestretch".
Iris really deserves it.

I want to thank Simon, one more time, for the musical inspiration and for the implicit sound-design lesson in all his work.
You make me play, learn, reason, understand, design a lot.

Thank you Matteo - following your releases on the cloud from time to time it is fascinating to hear how your musical style has evolved.
I still haven't signed the Betatesting agreement with iZotope, maybe I should to try to push the Iris development in some direction, but I just don't have the time for it atm.

I just began 3 years ago with computers and I'm amazed of how much one can learn and experience. This is not a virtual music world at all.

Hope you'll take Iris (pushing its develop or not, might not be that necessary for this wish) to even more deep musical paths anyway. Thx!

Here is a demo for a new Iris patch from the upcoming subscription set, made with processed samples of scraping low piano strings with a coin (Euro) and beating them with various objects.

Do i get it correctly : this is single patch played and modulated in real-time ?

I assume as far as i could check out iris specs (i couldn't download the demos currently) :
- a patch based on 3 different prepared pianos samples, that induces similar timbral contents that blends well together, but with different dynamic structures (scraped, hit with objects of different mass and different matter)

Just stop me if i'm wrongly assuming, but in any cases, i'm admiring how it shoes the potential of this instrument and especially, i'm impressed on how you have the intuition to exploit it out of charted fields

really brilliant !

You got it mostly correct, thank's for the flowers!
In fact the 2 different raw samples (one coin-sraped/one beaten) were first processed with a tuned Combfilter, some saturation and some additional pitchshifting and then imported into Iris. Split across the keyboard, the sound on the upper half of the keyboard being 2 different segments of sample 2 with different spectral selections, (Slots S2+S3, S3 playing the loop backwards->forwards). All samples are playing back in Non-Retrigger mode so that playing overapping notes will not retrigger the samples from the start which is good for longer samples and for a more interesting flow of things.
Chorus, Delay, Distortion, Lowpass Filter and Reverb from Iris are controllable with the Modwheel and 4 Macros which I did in the demo.

You demonstrate Iris' force very well.
May I ask which comb filters you use/prefer? I read about Oli Larkin's Polycomb which grabbed my interest, but which is out of use for the moment...


I'm also curious as to the results of Izotope's Iris Feedback Request...

My personal wishes are

- not entering in a competion with Harmor or Alchemy but keeping it straightforward, like now
- brushes that give more options, like in Photoshop. Not only circles, but also squares, both xy independant to form ellipses/rectangles, and , if possible, an option to import png as brush
- time-stretching

- a (paid for) IrisFX or Extended version that would allow to use Iris' filterings as FX on a full-blown audio or vsti track.
