REVIEW
Unearth a world of sounds you've never heard before. Driven by iZotope's award-winning visual selection technology, the iZotope Iris is a groundbreaking sample-based synthesizer that harnesses the power of both your eyes and your ears. Fuel your creativity with Iris's new spin on sound design: a visual instrument that's perfect for musical inspiration and sonic experimentation.

The Iris is an innovative sampling re-synthesizer that frees you to create sounds that could never before be produced. Start by dissecting up to three distinctive audio samples, using Iris's spectrogram display and easy selection tools to spotlight the most interesting spectral characteristics. Blend and layer your modi?ed samples, then beef up their impact with a choice of suboscillator waveforms.

Still hungry for more? Add attitude and dimension to your creation by applying iZotope's world-class effects and processors, including chorus, reverb, delay, distortions, and lters.

For the synth enthusiasts out there, never fear. Favorite synth features like amplitude envelopes, LFOs, root note detection and key mapping are all there for advanced musical control, as well as the all-new RadiusrRT for real-time pitch-shifting while preserving your sample's timing.

The Iris is ideal for anyone seeking a completely fresh take on sampling and synthesis, particularly sound designers and composers working on music and sound for television and video games. With over 500 intensely creative patches available for immediate use, Iris is also perfect for any musician dreaming of diverse and compelling new sounds.

Evolve your sounds rapidly with the Iris's diverse and intuitive visual selection tools. By drawing shapes in the Iris spectrogram, you can isolate specific audio frequencies within a sample and play them back immediately on your MIDI keyboard.

Tools include:

Lasso: for free-hand drawing of any size or shape
Brush: for more selections, with a convenient adjustable brush size
Magic Wand: for selecting whole regions with a similar spectral prople, including upper harmonics
Many more: with options for selecting by time as well as frequency
Iris makes it fun to experiment and manipulate your selections even further, with additional controls for zooming, rearranging, inverting, looping, reversing, and pitch-shifting.

As you make your spectral selections, energize and customize each sample you've layered (including the Sub waveform) with a dedicated set of synthesizer controls. For each sample, adjust envelope shaping, a tempo-synced LFO, and other parameters for tweaking the amplitude, modulation, and playback of your sound source. Adjust several parameters at once with Macro Controls, and get hands-on by mapping Iris controls to the knobs and buttons on your MIDI controller.

In addition, a global filter envelope and LFO let you manipulate your patch as a whole, granting united movement to the overall sound of your patch.
