Iris Subscription Set 72 uploaded on August 20 - 2016 containing 11 presets (273.3 MB) including:

Barrel Music Split
A long dynamic tremolo performed on my 200 liter oil barrel, all 3 oscillators are using the same long sample, layered in S1/2 - mapped from C2 (C3 in Iris) upwards - with S1 running in Radius RT-mode and S2 in non-retrigger mode. Tune S2 up an octave with Macro 4, control it’s volume with M3. S3 plays the final accent of the tremolo mapped from C2 (C3) downwards. MW introduces noise-shaped pitch modulation in S1/2. With Macro 2 (Y) dialed towards the left/down, the LP filter becomes velocity sensitive. Please check the Macro page for FX controls.

Drone Wash

Each oscillator has it’s dedicated volume control (Macros 3/4), M5 adds slow amplitude modulation with slightly different LFO speeds in each oscillator which creates ever changing combinations of frequencies, M6 tunes S2 up an octave when fully engaged. M2 (Y) decreases LP filter cutoff, M1 (X) adds tempo-synced filter modulation, M7/8 control amount of flanging/delay FX, MW decreases delay time.

Glistening Morning Split
A rather beautiful tonal texture created with Phonem and other things is layered in S1/2, mapped from C3 (C4 in Iris) upwards, both oscillators are running in non-retrigger mode. S2 has a dedicated volume control (Macro 3), M4 introduces tempo-synced pan modulation in S2. S3 uses a mysterious drone sound, mapped from C0 - C3 (C1 - C4), also playing in non-retrigger mode. MW introduces tempo-synced amplitude modulation in S1/2 and adds some distortion. M2 (Y) decreases LP filter cutoff, M1 (X) adds slow filter modulation, M5/6 control amount of delay/phaser FX.

Prayer Day Split

S3 - mapped from C-1 – C2 (C0 - C3) adds a dark breathing drone sound, alls samples a re playing in non-retrigger mode. MW adds tempo-synced amplitude modulation in S3 and noise-shaped pitch modulation in S1/2. M2 (Y) increases HP filter cutoff, M1 (X) adds tempo-synced filter modulation.

S1/2 - mapped up to C3 (C4 in Iris) - layer the same sample, use Macros 3/4 for volume balancing. S3 - mapped from C3 – C7 (C4 – C8) - uses an excerpt from that soundscape processed in a slightly different way. S1/3 are running in non-retrigger mode. MW adds tempo-synced amplitude modulation. M2 (Y) decreases LP filter cutoff, M1 (X) adds tempo-synced filter modulation, M8 controls release time, check the Macro page for FX controls.

Macro 2 (Y) decreases LP filter cutoff, M1 (X) adds the (monophonic) filter envelope, MW introduces tempo-synced amplitude modulation. Control attack/release with Macros 3/4, M 5/6 control delay mix/feedback.

In the Iris 2-version, Macro 7 adds tempo-synced pan modulation (via LFOa 4/5). The envelope filter is always active, Macro 1 controls the sustain level of the envelope, so dialing it to the left will activate the envelope curve. Macro 2 controls cutoff but inverted so dialing it in will subtract from the envelope cutoff value.

Sound Sculpture 02 Split
The processed recording of a big sound sculpture with giant metal springs is layered in S1/2 - mapped from C3 – C7 (C4 – C8 in Iris), S2 running in non-retrigger mode looping backwards/forwards, add pan modulation to S2 with macro 4, tune S1 up an octave with M3.

MW decreases LP filter cutoff and adds massive distortion. M1/2 /X/Y) control amount of delay/reverb FX.

Train Play
Layered in S1/2 there is a field recording of a train arriving at Berlin station which I recorded during a journey to Cologne. S1 plays the full frequency range, S2 - running in non-retrigger mode - highlights only the braking phase. Use Macros 3/4 for volume balancing, add pan modulation to S1 with M5, control panning speed with M6. Please check the Macro page for FX controls.
