iZotope Iris 2 (Download)

Iris 2 generates sound by playing back up to four audio files at once, allowing you to mix instrument samples, found sounds, and synthesizer waves.

Sample-Based Synthesis
Iris 2 creates unique synth textures using samples and/or oscillator-generated sounds—up to four of either. With global effects modules and individual filtering and envelope controls for each voice, Iris 2 gives you the tonal creativity to make music that is truly your own.

Spectrogram
Iris 2’s Spectrogram not only displays the spectral makeup of your sample but also offers an array of sophisticated editing tools for easily manipulating your sample within the Spectrogram itself.

Modulation
Five LFOs and Envelopes can be mapped to virtually any parameter within Iris 2, giving you the ability to shape the attack, duration, and tail of your synth sounds—plus much more!

Effects
Polish your sound with voice-specific or global creative effects. Use Send FX to process each sample individually, or apply Master FX to affect the entire patch for added character.

Harmonic Excitement or Total Destruction
Iris’s built-in distortion module brings subtle or dramatic transformation to your synth patch.

Shimmering Modulation and Width
Add fluttering depth to your sound with intuitive chorus controls.

Independent Stereo Echo
Syncable with host tempo, the delay module adds stereo fullness or independent channel delay.

Add Space in a Snap
The simple but effective reverb module can add discrete realism or sprawling space to your patch.
