Yes that's the one I was referring to earlier about catering for the dubstep crowd, most of those sounds could be made in many synths, nothing that really showcases what is unique to Iris. Where has all the 'exploration of new audio territory' and 'finding new unheard of sounds within sounds' gone?

Like Wusikstation, it is a beast that feasts upon what you feed it.....

I have gotten vastly different results letting it chew on its own, feeding it HG Fortune sounds and feeding it Anomaly sounds.....

Izotope is a company, Wusik is not.

Iris is an instrument, as is Wusikstation.... Your comment is non-sensical....

Except we know that Izotope is supporting Iris. And Wusik isn't supporting WusikStation.
Which makes your previous statement non-pertinent.

No, you are like some rabid dog that whenever he sees the word Wusik must pounce, for some odd reason....

This is about Iris 2....

It's not the name, its the emotional support group of BLPD that looks for any opening to mention it that reminds me to set a point beyond that border for them to reach for.

Like you said, it's about Iris, so there was no need to mention Wusik in the first place.

I have no idea what you are talking about, but you have seemingly made my point inconsequential.....

Some instruments - they are unique in respect to that they can take what you feed them and transform into things beyond compare....

Each of us, I think, resonate to a certain few, or many....

For me, Wusikstation happens to be among them, as is Iris 2 - for it can combine things and bits of things in ways that nothing previously could. I am liking it so far....

I was, in my own way, trying to be complimentary about this instrument but now you have come along and just - well, better left unsaid.

I am not responsible for your own problems....

But that counts for all sample-based instruments, the list would be endless so I won't even start one.

+1
(He's just trying to plug his soundsets for that old synth.)

Well... Iris 2 demos make it sound like a more common synth, while Iris 1 were pointing at the weird side of sound design...
The truth is in the middle, IMO, Iris is very flexible, and I understand iZotope wishes a broader target of musicians for this very good plugin.

Very nice that Brad is following the thread and said they are working on compatibility... crossing my fingers...

Could someone please explain the difference between Iris 2 not being backwards compatible with Iris 1 presets and Zebra 3 not being backwards compatible with Zebra 2 presets? I don't remember anyone getting that upset when U-he announced that Zebra 2 patches would have to stay on Zebra 2.

I mean, I know that Urs mentioned that Zebra 2 would still receive bugfixes/support down the line, but it's still only a matter of time before it's no longer supported. It just doesn't make sense to keep both versions running indefinitely, does it? If so, why not just keep them as 2 different products?

Maybe because many people invested a lot of money into preset expansions, maybe because Iris 2 was announced as compatible with v1 with the "may-be-need-to-be-reassigned"-issue, maybe because Iris was never updated in 2.5+years and then with the first update, compatibility was broken, maybe because the recent update releases of iZotope disappointed many people and this one was another letdown. Zebra has been around for much longer with plenty of new-feature-updates (for free), Iris not.
You could have answered your own rhetorical question here, but I did it for you with pleasure.

Hi Simon,

Thank you for explaining it. I wasn't an IRIS owner so I didn't know that no updates had been made for 2.5 years since the first release. That's crazy. I think everyone can concur that u-he has much better/more open support than izotope has been displaying lately.

It sounds like it's a culmination of reasons to be angry with izotope as opposed to just compatibility.
