Tools include:
Lasso - for free-hand drawing of any size or shape
Brush - for more ?uid selections, with a convenient adjustable brush size
Magic Wand - for selecting whole regions with a similar spectral pro?le, 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.
Shape 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.
In addition, a global filter envelope and LFO let you manipulate your patch as a whole, granting uni?ed movement to the overall sound of your patch.
Sound sculpting
In addition to spectral selection capabilities and analog-style synthesizer controls, Iris features a healthy dose of iZotope's award-winning DSP.
Distortion - Add grit and saturation to your sound with iZotope Trash-inspired algorithms like Tube, Clipping, and Scream.
Chorus - Supply a detuned or spacious chorus effect with an all-new iZotope Chorus, inspired by analog synth reverbs with a modern ?anger-like twist.
Delay - Enjoy lush decays with an analog-style stereo Delay, with a bonus Analog-modeled distortion algorithm that can crunch and darken your delayed signal.
Reverb - Expand your sense of space with a Reverb designed for synths, great for everything from small slap-back style ambience to extended long-push pads
Filters - Give attitude and dimension to your sound with ten different Filter ?avors, including Screaming Peak, Warm Synth Low Pass, and Retro Band Pass.
