Might I ask which ones of the other current Tone2 synths do you use and which of them are your favourite if more than one?
thanks

So that's my favorite tone2 synth. Still amazing and one of the best vsti I have !
I don't use Icarus2 because I don't use dongle software for music. I have upgraded from Icarus 1.6 to 2 but did not know that I need internet activation. But that's no problem. I have some other wavetable synths.
Tone2 Warlock (synthesizer) - available now!

ah, that i don't know. you're saying you won't run icarus2 because you have to be connected once to the internet to authorize it? because i can use it with no internet connection; but not sure about the first run.MorpherX wrote: Tue Feb 02, 2021 10:45 pmYou have not to be connected to the internet when you loaded Icarus2 for the first time ?

With the hypersaw and some other tables in combination with a soft filter, soft chorus and a smart delay it sounds more soft than Electra.
But I have now not tested and tried all the millions of combinations but the sound variability is really amazing even you can not load own samples or wavetables !

Change your SSD or HDD where your operating system is installed and you will see that you can not use Icarus2 anymore.fisherKing wrote: Tue Feb 02, 2021 10:51 pmah, that i don't know. you're saying you won't run icarus2 because you have to be connected once to the internet to authorize it? because i can use it with no internet connection; but not sure about the first run.MorpherX wrote: Tue Feb 02, 2021 10:45 pmYou have not to be connected to the internet when you loaded Icarus2 for the first time ?

we're getting off-topic, but wouldn't a new OS install (on a new drive) affect other plugins as well? (that happened here when i wiped my drive & did a clean install).MorpherX wrote: Tue Feb 02, 2021 11:00 pm Change your SSD or HDD where your operating system is installed and you will see that you can not use Icarus2 anymore.

either way, can't you just re-authorize? or, at least, contact tone2 & sort it out? you're creating an (obvious) issue, but should be simple enough to fix.
meanwhile, waiting for the mac version of warlock. the visual on tasty tatsyn's video gave me a headache; it's like the lsd version of the plugin, or i'm wrong, and that's all ONE synth... with a thousand knobs........

I couldn't remember how it worked exactly during installation. I just tried it without being connected, and it doesn't let you authorize it using the t2k file unless you're connected to the internet.
After I connected again, then it worked fine and it opened up the main display.

right, but you don't need to authorize it once it's authorized... yes? as i can run it with no internet connection.Examigan wrote: Wed Feb 03, 2021 12:00 am I couldn't remember how it worked exactly during installation.

so again, connect once, authorize, then use forever (or until you replace your computer, or your drive, or grow a beard, or something)...

Here's another example of warlock presets and sounds.
Like said before, although it has less options than other synths it also has a wide pallete of sounds at it's reach....
This time a softer demo
might do some more demos next few days,

I know the question isn't directed to me anyhow as far as i know Icarus needs to be connected one time to activate then you can run it perfectly fine offline, wich can be (offtopic) a good thing these days.MorpherX wrote: Tue Feb 02, 2021 10:22 pmI also have Electra and Icarus, but only use Electra at the moment.zvenx wrote: Tue Feb 02, 2021 10:10 pm Thank you for dipping your foot into the water.

So that's my favorite tone2 synth. Still amazing and one of the best vsti I have !
I don't use Icarus2 because I don't use dongle software for music. I have upgraded from Icarus 1.6 to 2 but did not know that I need internet activation. But that's no problem. I have some other wavetable synths.
Sounds a nice balance between respect for the developer work and the diferent needs and preferences of the users, no dongles, no internet required afterwards....
maybe i shouldn't share this (and it's subjective and personal as __%$&/%()$(=&=______) but my favourite Tone2 synths are Icarus and Rayblaster

Simple synth but with a wide range of sounds possible and it's own character (specific strenghts and limits)
one of them to me is eg:
the ability to work on sequences/gates/arps live (i'll upload some techno examples later probably)
it has the nice pattern selector so you can be tweaking and changing rythyms live clicking the mouse 2 times (really good to me for eg: live techno...... )
That's one f the things i liked the most about warlock, low CPU use, wide range of sounds evn being a simple synth and the possibility of easily doing lives and changing patterns
