I sure would love it if all the Tone2 plugins supported MPE and polyphonic aftertouch. I really appreciate it getting added to Icarus. I'd love to upgrade all my Tone2 synths, but I really need those features these days.
Available now: Tone2 Icarus v3.2

I seem to remember bringing this up so I'm really happy to have this feature added.Tone2 Synthesizers wrote: Tue Mar 18, 2025 10:26 am [*]'Load Sample' and 'Load Waveform' in the wavetable editor remember the last file location.
Looking forward to the new version! Icarus 3 has become one of my favorite synths.

Noooo, keep MPE out of Electra and Gladiator.

Sounds good. Is the skin fully customisable? Or only parts / background image?

Icarus 3.1 ships with 37 different skins.

Apart from this
- You can exchange the background image with a custom one. It is in png file format
- You can also change the color of the displays and circles around the knobs

This is good news. Although I don't have the talent or skills needed to create skins from scratch I do like editing existing ones to my personal taste. I find having all my plugins visually tweaked to my liking is conducive to creativity and productivity.Tone2 Synthesizers wrote: Thu Mar 27, 2025 8:38 am - You can exchange the background image with a custom one.

It's something fun I do when my ears are tired and need a rest. Looking forward to the update...

Can u please add support for multiple subdirectories in the custom wavetables?Tone2 Synthesizers wrote: Tue Mar 18, 2025 10:26 am https://www.tone2.com/icarus.html
Preview: Icarus 3.1
The update to v3.1 will be available for free for all Icarus3 customers.
Icarus 3.1 is downward compatible with all previous versions. All existing song projects and patches can be loaded without any further steps necessary. They will benfit from the enhanced sound-quality.
New features:Enhancements:
- MPE support for Legato and Mono modes.
- Added support for custom skins.
- 'Load Sample' and 'Load Waveform' in the wavetable editor remember the last file location.
Fixes:
- Pitchwheel snaps less aggressively to 50%.
- The new default skin makes it easier to see the structure of the synth. You can change back to the old one in SETUP->Select skin.
- Workaround for a bug of Windows 11 that messed up the vertical layout of the SeggoeUI font.
- Fix for a very rare compatibility problem with trackpads on the Mac.

In Pigment 6, serum and hive you can have multiple subdirectories but not with Icarus.

I usually just right-click on any synth plugin control to see if it might support that.
