Called a visual instrument, Iris™ Spectral Selection Synth uses iZotope's RX Advanced technology to transform the underlying components of complex audio waveforms using real-time Fourier analysis (FFT). This granular level of analysis and transformation makes possible the manipulation of the sonic chemistry of any sound sample and therefore the creation of totally new and unheard of sounds. But turning that real-time analysis power into a useable sound design engine and also making it playable, great sounding and a sonorous musical instrument is the real genius of Iris!
By isolating and selecting the most (or the least) interesting spectral portions of sound samples and layering them into combinations, wholly-new musical instruments or hybrid instruments with sounds unimagined and unrealized in any other way are now possible.
To accomplish this alchemy, Iris relies on a comprehensive set of easy-to-use selection and editing tools similar to Adobe Photoshop™ plus an intuitive system to develop and program your own customizable key maps ready for any MIDI controller.
Iris comes with hundreds of presets from world-class sound designers and 4 GB of audio samples, including recordings of insects, animals, machines, vintage synthesizers, and musical instruments. With two complementary sound libraries called Glass and Wood, Iris is available for a $249 MSRP. Check: www.izotope.com/iris.
