Available now: Tone2 Icarus v3.2

Question about the skinning: would it be fairly easy to swap out for example just the text/fonts of one skin into another? I like the knob style (and contours) of the original skin but not the big blocky text. Would be cool to replace with the tone cut from one of the new ones (aqua or whatever it’s called has nice text)

Most of our other synths have many texts rendered to the background image. When you do skinning you can replace the text with a font of your choice. But this has disadvantages: It does not render as crisp as the font rendering of the OS and it does not allow texts that change dynamically.
Please note: Most fonts are copyrighted material. You must have a permission to distribute them.

Swapping the fonts will not be supported in Icarus since we did not receive other request for it. It is also difficult to implement and can raise many further technical issues.

So how about going the other way. Starting with the new default skin for example and replacing all the knobs with the v2 knobs. Is that easy to do with the news skinning capability? Would achieve the same desired effect.

And I don’t want to distribute anything. I want to use the new skinning feature advertised to merge the best of different skins if possible.

We released a new expansion for our powerful synthesizer-workstation Icarus 3!
"Galactic Resonance" contains 277 lovingly crafted sounds and 36 wavetables. It is suitable for Electronic and Ambient music.

Technically it works by exchanging the background image. The knobs are not part of the image in v3.
I will post a short tutorial to the forum once it is released.

I finally found time to finish the video:

Correct English is: "Everything is played live"... With a "v" not an "f"!

Hallo,
i wish Icarus 3 have "next-previous" button on OSC, filter, etc can be mapped to controller. I also wish effects section can have
next-previous arrows for tactile auditioning.

can those arrows actually be mapped tho? i still cant figure it out. I am using logic.

I don’t believe it’s possible. I very much wish the waveform and filter types etc. we’re automatable for nks etc

Got an email that this was released. Downloaded and installed. Was really looking forward to scroll working on my macbook trackpad and MPE working in Legato mode. unfortunately neither work. Trackpad is still unusable and MPE in legato also doesn't work. I thought maybe the update didn't work, but checked the about info and it is indeed 3.1. Disappointing

Many thanks for this update!

Is there somewhere to check the actual version we’re running?
After updating, checking out from diverse sources on my computer it shows 3.0.
Component, VST, VST3 doesn’t say it’ve been modified.

Hi Markus,
can you please explain how custom skins work? Like how and where to pu the backround image? What is the name convention? And how to change the color of the knobs circle? What is the perfered image size?
And what else to take care off?

Thank you!
