Bump for the best sample library out there. Period. Love your stuff Simon, it's worth 3x the money. Seeing your Patchpool subscriber email every few weeks makes me happy.

Working on a piece now where your Granular Sax 01 is a central but subtle part of a new piece I'm working on. I'll post something up this evening when I return from work.

Thank you very much for the feedback, Jay. I love to hear my Iris sounds embedded in some other than my own music

A little idea I had sitting in traffic. Got home, loaded up Iris with a Patchpool sample I like and plugged in my fretless. Mostly just wanted to record this to remember the rhythm I had in my head when beating on my steering wheel.

Nice one, Jay - like the combo of the driving groove with the atmospheric sounds, just up my alley!

Sounds 'ok' on my system thru Logic X... needs eq and stuff, but ok... but man, soundcloud's compression really downgrades things. Maybe I should've uploaded the full AIFF file instead.

But yes, I like laying down a quick drum part, plugging in my bass then loading up cool Iris patches and just jamming. Which is why I like your subscription -- new ambiences to hear all the time.

If you have fast Internet try uploading wav files in full resolution, I've been doing this for ages now (uploading wavs in 48 Khz/24 Bit) and it significantly improves the sound quality.

Took your advice, Simon... I uploaded at 24/44.1. Sounds better!

Still need to check out the latest library, very excited to audition those tonight!

Cool, now we need an extended version of that track! Nice to read the story with the blinker at the traffic lights, I often bang on the steering wheel in sync with my indicators and perform some polyrhythmic grooves

I just sent around the link for Set 33, please also check your spam folder:

Iris Subscription Set 33 uploaded on Septembre 6 - 2013 containing 7 presets (183.1 MB) including:

Autumn Chimes (overlapping split)
Physically modelled (british englisch) chime texture (Chromaphone + FX), 2 (multi)samples in S1+2 - mapping: S1 plays from C3 (C4 in Iris) upwards, S2 plays up to C4 (C5)
Modwheel adds noise-shaped pitch modulation, please check the Macro page to understand how the 5 assigned Macros modify the sound.

Border Crows
S1 plays the sample of a field recording of crows and other sounds recorded at the border of the Ukraine to Belarus in 2011 where soldiers removed our film team from a charter train, because we didn't have transit visa, quite a frightening experience that was. S2+3 play different spectral aspects of a huge soundscape derived from a vibraphone recording. The volume of S3 is assigned to the Modhweel, it adds the upper frequencies of the vibra scape. All samples run in Non-Retrigger mode. Macro 1 (x) adds crazy pitch modulation to S1, M2 (y) adds temposynced amplitude modulation to S2. M3 controls the depth of the pan modulation in S3, M4 (inverted) controls LP filter cutoff.

Cranebells
2 long field recordings of a giant container crane recorded in the harbour of Kaliningrad, whenever the crane moved there was this alarm bell ringing, I was standing right underneath the crane moving with it as it hovered along the pier. S1+2 play 2 samples with the tonal bell sounds, S3 plays a hydraulic sound at the end of the sample 1 which doesn't react to Midi pitch but is pitch modulated by a slow LFO. Bring in S3 with the Modwheel. Please check the Macro page to understand how the 5 assigned Macros modify the sound.

Doomer (Split)
2 samples of a (multisampled) huge drone made with MachFive 3 combining synth modules with convoluted vocal texures - split point: B2/C3
Modwheel adds fast pitch modulation to S2 (the upper sample), Macros 1+2 (x/y) for Delay FX and distortion, M3 controls LP cutoff (inverted).

New Age Dreamer
A sequence produced with several instances of Synplant and FX, different segments and spectral aspects of the same sample are used in all 3 oscillators. The Modwheel adds fast square-shaped pitch modulation to all samples, with the wheel fully up you'll get a modulation of +1/2 octaves. S3 plays in Non-Retrigger mode. Please check the Macro page to understand how the 5 assigned Macros modify the sound.

Rise and Fall
All 3 oscillators use the same sample of a passing/accelerating sports car recorded underneath a bridge - timestretched and furtherly processed. S3 runs in Non-Retrigger mode. The Modwheel decreases LP filter cutoff and adds distortion. Macro 1 (x) adds amplitude modulation to S1+2, control LFO speed with M2 (y), M3 controls the speed of the pan modulation in S3.

Supernova
Look at the stars at night and then this happens: a sample produced by resynthesizing a processed vocal texture in Metasynth, retuning the resynthesized data and then playing back the result with a huge soundscape sample, randomizing the sample start points and doing other things to it as well. All oscillators play different spectral aspects and segments of the same long sample. The Modwheel increases the volume of S3 and slightly reduces the volume of S1, Macro 1 (x) adds distortion, M2 (y) adds Delay FX, inverted M3 controls LP filter cutoff, M4 adds temposynced amplitude modulation to all 3 samples.

Enjoy the sounds...
Simon
