I've checked pluginboutique and there 9.4 eur is the price.
i don't understand this.
it's not fair for those who buy this at izotope.
I'm just commenting, i don't want to buy this even if its price was 1 eur.

In aug 2019 it was given free if you bought something at pluginboutique...

And life is not fair. Get over it. I bought it for something like 75$ 1 1/2 year ago. So what am I going to do? Cry and complain about it? No.

recent price dumping in plugin world isn't good practice tho for plenty of other reasons.
it makes it much harder for indie/small developers because they can't afford to dump prices, which means we're on a fast-track to monopoly from the likes of waves, izotope and PA, and when there's a monopoly, its too late to do something about it

Yep.
I worked for an Internet company in the late 90's. We had FAST internet at the time; a T-1 line.
They cost between $500-$1000 a month- for 1.5Mbps!!

Today you can get 50Mbps for $25 a month..
Like he said, get over it and buy the dam thing for $8.88

I won't buy that, not because of the price, but I have currently 2-3 synths that can do granular/samples, don't need more

Heh heh.. You need an injection of G.A.S.

You ALWAYS need more...

Trash2 for me was better 9$ spent.
However 9$ on Iris was still better spent than 9$ for the last 3 beers i don't need and usually regret on a night out.

oh yeah i also bought trash 2 too .... actually i was waiting for a offer ( 20 bucks or under for spending) on trash 2 .when that came i didnt expect it to get as low as 8.88 so had the freedom to buy iris with it

No way should you buy it at that price! Disregard any advice previous. Buying it at that cheaply is unfair to people who bought it at full price and who do not have the buy cheaply privilege.

.. but I wouldn't buy for more than a few bucks tho. Full price is ridiculous in this day and age.

Extremely simple? I think you miss the point. The complexity is in the spectral engine and how you can edit it.

SoundPorn · Post by **SoundPorn** » Sat Feb 29, 2020 4:08 pm

For starters it's still a unique synth in a market of clones it has a spectral sample playback engine that is unique.

Also another way to judge value and interest in a synth is the amount of 3rd party presets available and this one has a good amount.

SoundPorn · Post by **SoundPorn** » Sat Feb 29, 2020 4:16 pm

That's not a monopoly nor is it how markets work...Like so long as there are atleast a handful of big developers there can't be a monopoly and that would never happen anyway.
Do you think companies want to charge less and lay off employees? The issue is piracy. Prices have been dropping for years have you noticed any lack of new developers? On the contrary the lower prices have only made music software more accesible to people who otherwise would of been too timid to invest in it.
Also other models such as subscriptions and Patreon are the way of the future.
