S1 plays the sample of a field recording of crows and other sounds recorded at the border of the Ukraine to Belarus in 2011 where soldiers removed our film team from a charter train, because we didn't have transit visa, quite a frightening experience that was.

And yet you still managed to record the crows - talk about plucking triumph from adversity

Well done.

- Actually I also recorded the mean looking guards until one of them spotted that and yelled at me to stop the tape, I thought of waterboarding and torture at that moment, more drama

I used that guard recording on my album Minimal Nightmare actually.

And here comes the release info for subscription set 34:

Iris Subscription Set 34 uploaded on Septembre 19 - 2013 containing 6 presets (153.4 MB) including:

Celtic Grains Split
A celtic harp note granulated with crusherX, S1+2 are split over the keyboard, both play different segments and spectral selections of the same long sample - overlapping split: C3
The inverted Modwheel controls LP filter cutoff, Macro 1 (x) adds temposynced amplitude modulation, M2 (y) controls amount of Chorus FX, M3 controls amount of Delay FX.

Convoluted MetaHit
S1+2 both play different segments and spectral selections of the same long sample, made by sending a physically modelled tube hit (Chromaphone) through a multiband convolution reverb, each band carrying a different soundscapish texture made with Metasynth, processing the result with RX3, timestretching only some segments of the sample.
The Modwheel adds pitch modulation to both oscillators using different LFO shapes and speeds. Macro 1 (x) controls the amount of Delay FX using very short delay times at high feedback rates sounding similar to a Combfilter, modulate the delay time with M2 (y) for flanging effects. Macro 3 adds a strange reverb with maximum predelay.

Gongclash Pure
2 Thai gongs clashing several times, both oscillators use the same sample and spectral selection, S2 plays in reverse mode. The Modwheel adds distortion, reduces LP cutoff, increases LP resonance and activates the global LFO for slow cutoff modulation. Macro 1 (x) controls amount of temposynced Delay FX, M2 (y) reverb amount, M3 adds pitch modulation to S1, M4 adds Chorus FX, M5 adds pitch modulation to S2. This sound produces some incredibly low frequencies at the lower end of you master keyboard, let your subwoofer(s) have some fun as well.

Gongclash Stretch
The recording of 2 Thai gongs clashing several times extremely timestretched and enriched with Paulstretch. All 3 oscillators play different segments and spectral selections of the same long sample. The Modwheel reduces LP filter cutoff and adds Chorus FX, Macros 1+2 (x/y) control amount of pitch modulation for S1+2 and modulation speed. M3 controls amount of Delay FX.

Mighty Ship Bells
A processed shipbell texure retuned to an indian scale in Melodyne. S1+2 both play different segments and spectral selections of the same long sample, S2 running in non-retrigger mode. The Modwheel adds temposynced amplitude modulation to both oscillators (different speeds and LFO shapes).

Shipbell Pad
The sample of a long shipbell texure is used in both oscillators, S1 has a very narrow spectral selection resulting in a tonal pad sound, the volume of S2 with the reversed bell texture is assigned to Macro 3, Macros 1+2 control amount of Delay/Reverb FX. The Modwheel adds a tad of pitch modulation to S1.

I'll be sending out the download link in a minute. The subscription price has been upped to € 75 Euros.

Here is some info for subscription set 35, the link will be distributed in a minute.

Iris Subscription Set 35 uploaded on Octobre 4 - 2013 containing 7 presets (210.2 MB) including:

Harp Delusion
The sample of a sequence with flagolet notes played on the celtic harp I'm currently sampling for my MachFive 3 library Scattered Entity is used in all 3 oscillators.
The Modwheel adds aliased distortion, reduces the LP cutoff and also adds some Chorus FX. Macros 1+2 control amount/time of Delay FX, M3 adds reverb, M4 adds pitch modulation to S1+2, M5 adds pan modulation to S3.

Leader
A synth wave I programmed in Zebra is used in both oscillators with different spectral selections, both play in Non-Retrigger mode. If you set polyphony/voices to 1, you can play this sound like a monophonic lead synth. It also produces great bass drones. The Modwheel controls the LP cutoff. Macros 1+2 (x/y) control the amount of Delay/Reverb FX, M3 adds some distortion.

Mystical Garden
A very long textural sample made with Endless Series and numerous other plugs is used in all three oscillators. The Modwheel adds noise-shaped pitch modulation to all samples, Macro 1 (x) controls amount of Delay FX, inverted M2 (y) controls LP cutoff, M3 adds Chorus FX, M4 controls the speed of the chorus. Take your time with this patch as the sound needs some time to evolve.

Outskirts
Looking at a crystal clear sky in the middle of the night led to making this patch. The involved sample was produced by metasynthing the recording of a turning plastic tube which creates higher harmonics the faster you turn it. S1+2 play different spectral aspects of the same sample, S2 having a very "dotted" selection. The Sub oscillator adds a sinewave with noise-shaped pitch modulation. The Modwheel adds fast random pitch modulation to S1+2, the Iris FX are routed in "Send" mode, no Macros are assigned, so if you want to change FX, please do that on the "Mix" page.

Phoenix
S1+2 both use the sample of a timestretched single accent played on my celtic harp, S1 plays from C2 upwards (C3 in Iris) and S2 plays up to C4 (C5). S3 adds a synth sound from my good old D50 synth. If you turn the Modwheel up the filter cutoff will be controlled by the filter envelope. Macro 1 (x) controls amount of Delay FX, M2 adds temposynced amplitude modulation to S2+3 and pan modulation to S1. M3 controls the pitch of S1 scaled in semitones, +2 octaves with M3 fully up.

Singing Bowls Granular
A sequence of hits played on my new singing bowl granulated with MBand Granular with different grain settings for 3 frequency bands, furtherly processed with some other plugs. All 3 oscillators use the same long sample playing different spectral aspects and segments, S3 running in Non-Retrigger mode. Increase the volume of S2 with the Modwheel, please have a look at the Macro page to learn how the 6 assigned Macros modify the sound.

Surreal Seaside
S1 uses a sample recorded at the german sea side last year, it actually cost me a Zoom H2 as I put the recorder on a big stone only some centimetres above the water surface, after some minutes a wave decided to drown the recorder, but the recordng was well worth it. S1 doesn't react to incoming Midi notes, instead a LFO is constantly modulating the pitch. S2 plays the sample of some very denoised seagulls recorded at the same beach, these react to Midi but also have a LFO assigned to pitch. Control the modulation speed with the Modwheel. Macros 1+2 (x/y) control Delay and Reverb FX, the inverted Macro 3 controls LP cutoff.

There are now 230 patches using 4.87 GB of samples in the subscription.
