I'm on the beta/sound design team like Ingonator and can confirm it's a very deep synth.
I'm still finding my way around it and experimenting a lot but it's a real joy if you roll your own patches.
It's my favourite Tone2 synth (I don't have Gladiator 2 and haven't updated Saurus).

Likewise. Spent all last night just experimenting with it.

Still haven't slept.

Same here, it's ruining my social life ;-)

But the great craftsman's genius would not suffer captivity. He made two pairs of wings by adhering feathers to a wooden frame with wax. Giving one pair to his son, he cautioned him that flying too near the sun would cause the wax to melt. But Icarus became ecstatic with the ability to fly and forgot his father's warning. The feathers came loose and Icarus plunged to his death in the sea.

Flight of Icarus, beautiful song - "As the sun breaks above the ground, an old man stands on a hill, as the ground warms to the first rays of light a bird's song shatters the still, his eyes are ablaze, see the madman in his gaze" :)

A powerful myth influencing devs it is, there is already a plug called Daedalus

And a beautiful one it was, unfortunately it was full of bugs, but the developer stopped working on it :( Too bad, his Monolisa is probably one of the synths I've used the most, I was anxiously waiting for Monolisa mark 2 to be released :(

Which is a bit better n(actually a lot better), knowing this synth is named after his idiot son is, I dunno, did they Google the name before going with that? I understand those not knowing this (incredibly famous) character of Icarus would not care, but for me, I just think it is a stupid, stupid name and that whoever chose it should be ashamed of themselves. But the synth itself should be judged independent of the naming. Damn, what a dumb choice.

Not just making early aero experiments, Daedelus & Icarus also designed the labyrinth where the Minotaur roamed...

...which in a sense inspired the choice of the Moog Taurus name I guess

Ah! I remember that one! I donated to the dev because I really dug it for a Synthmaster creation.

There will be an inevitable comparison to Serum, which I own, so I would be most interested in any comparisons you are able to share between them.....
