Wait, are there still significant bugs in Iris 2?

Yep.

Care to elaborate?

A selection:
*Random LFO often doesn't work (it only holds but doesn't sample).
*Random LFO speed can not be modulated with a Macro or any other controller, only with a Midi CC
*Bad zipper noises when turning/automating Macros (bad/no interpolation), especially when assigned to things like oscillator volume or filter cutoff
*When FX are set to “Send“, the signal reaches the FX pre-amplitude env which is totally silly, they promised to add a pre/post-switch at least, but never did

So maybe a last blowout sale for their 3 instruments and then they can shut that department down, as it's probably not profitable enough.

If they do I'm just going to scrap Iris 2 and stick with Iris 1 - I still don't think Iris 2 really adds much and the lack of compatibility with all my old banks means I still use Iris 1 more (also I hate the 2 interface).

Perhaps they could sell it to Apple to be merged with Alchemy's spectral editor

I wish, back when it wasn't known about the Apple thing I did entertain the thought that it was Izotope that bought out Alchemy. At the time it seemed a nice thought that they could merge both great synths, but in retrospect, even though it might have been better for Windows users, Izotope's short attention span approach would probably have made this a bad idea in the long term.

Not really.
Care to google it?

There is already a long and elaborate thread discussing it.

I'm not going to rehash everything again, for the sake of someone who can't be bothered to spend 2sec searching for it.

EDIT: Thread here: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... &start=855

It's 58 pages long, but if you start at the end and work your way backwards, you will get a pretty good idea.

Oddly enough IMO $150 is finally a reasonable price point for Iris. With the Bitwig discount I may actually buy it. For better or for worse. Or not. I wasn't too thrilled to watch how Iris 1 developed (or rather didn't) and Iris 2 seems a cabon copy of that product management style.

I don't expect free updates forever but just a little love for your product after release would go a long way.

To be fair, iZotope haven't actually said that they plan to drop Iris. The press release seems more about the separation of music and post production lines. I see no reason why Iris can't fit well into the former category, perhaps this price drop is intended to help them determine the popularity, I personally think $149 is a more appropriate price. It'll be interesting to see what's lined up for their new announcements too.

On a side note, i didn't know they had a new iPhone app called Spire. Surely there's grounds for RevealSound to get their lawyers involved on that.

Izotope introduce a new price for Iris 2 Synthesizer
