No. You can use the existing ones

try to avoid it. Icarus2 comes with plenty of drums

Icarus2 comes with plenty of drums

Yes, I remembered 30 seconds after sending, that there is a new drum module now.

@Markus
Since I already own all your products, incl. all soundsets, would it be anything in it for me? Except the fame and glory?

We are doing a demo-song contest for Icarus. You can win these prices:

1st price: Tone2 Complete Bundle (worth $999; includes all synths, effects and expansions)
2nd price: A Tone2 synth of your choice (worth up to $189)
3rd price: An effect of your choice (worth up to $79)
4th price: A sound-set of your choice (worth up to $59)


How can you take part?

1) Create one or more impressive jingles that use several instances of Icarus. Each jingle should be between 20 seconds and 40 seconds length. Avoid compressors.

2) Save your track(s) as a 96 kHz WAV file (if possible)

3) Send it to markus[a t]tone2[dot]com before February the 2st

4) We pick the best jingles and present them as demo-tracks on our website

5) The winners will receive their price by email

Thanks for supporting our small company!
You can of course take part. What we could do is for example that you get upcoming soundsets for free. I am sure we will find a solution

There are no plans for a discount on the upgrade

Well, here’s a suggestion: For the demo contest, it would be great if all who participate receive a discount on your website (for example 25$). Other companies did something similar when they did a contest. I would certainly use it on the upgrade to Icarus 2 if I don’t win, since it’s the only synth I don’t have from Tone2 (I have Icarus 1).

Thanks, not that I would expect to win anything, but it's nice to know that I could gain something (besides experience) by joining the competition

I meant it for the current demo contest

[Alex_Longard]

Probably in this contest to win one who already has several synthesizers Tone2

[EnGee]

Can the demo of Icarus 2 be used? Or do I need to purchase Icarus 2 to be able to participate in this contest?

[Alex_Longard]

EnGee, demo Icarus2 can work only ten minutes...

[EnGee]

Yes it's not possible. I thought maybe it's fully functional for some period of time.
