Here is a first quick and dirty test mangling a simple Lamp Mallet sample (which you hear at the beginning) from one of my Alchemy Banks in Iris:

So one can't actually stretch the Audio, a simplified algo of iZotope's Radius is included (limited then to 4 voices at a time) which will stretch the notes to the original length wherever you play them. Inverting frequency selections and moving spectral snippets around very quickly yields really interesting results. The filters are basic but useful, the LFOs assignments are limited to pitch/volume, a Modmatrix let's you assign velocity/aftertouch to LFOs and stuff which is good for keyboarders. Up to 3 samples in one patch plus a 4th Oscillator with so called sub waves (which can be anything from white noise to sinewaves to more complex stuff really).

Thanks Simon for the quick solid reviews. From what I've read so far and heard, probably nothing revolutionary in the spectral domain synths but still a serious contender against Alchemy and Harmor I guess...

Don't know Harmor as it's Windows only, wouldn't say a contender for Alchemy as you're missing the real granular synthesis and stretching of things (and all the mutlisampler/Round Robin/velocity/sfz-part of course) but it's a different approach and shurely can be an expressive instrument.Neon Breath wrote:Thanks Simon for the quick solid reviews.

I have checked the re-synthesis and does not seem a big competitor to Harmor, Alchemy or Vertigo.
But the 4 GB library could be a good catch for most people.

The number of samples of Radius ("voices" I believe) is selectable
from 4-10 in the Options panel at top left (the wrench icon). I don't
think Iris is really in competition with anything else. It's real strong
point, imo, is the ability to make selections in the wave files with a
great deal of flexibility and precision.

Meta synth is on sale at the moment so I'm seriously considering getting it, Iris is half the price but it soulds like it doesn't have anything I can't do in Alchemy and PoseidonSampleconstruct wrote:So far not coming anywhere near Metasynth but it's interesting, like a version of RX with a keyboard and FX/LFOS/Envelopes/Loop tools attached - could be really interesting indeed...Neon Breath wrote:Curious to see how it's going to compare against MetaSynth, in the spectral manipulation domain.Sampleconstruct wrote:Checking now!

You can drag and drop files from within Reaper's "Media explorer" to the different sample engines which I find quite nifty.

from the demo video.. it looks to have a sample playback dealy for sound generation then a ton of filters mapped to each freq/time on the graph and is affecting the sound this way.. such as the cutoff.. whenever active..
