Available now: Tone2 Icarus2.5 - Wavetable Workstation

[Dencheg]

some micro-observations:
- Envelope graphics don’t change when i change ADSR from a controller (though actual sound changes).
- Iteration order with mousewheel sometimes doesn’t correspond to the actual dropdown items order (for instance for table morphing options).

Three patches from Elevation for Icarus in action using the updated version 2 of Icarus.

There is an updated version of Icarus 2?

No, my wording was just misleading.

Ahh. Thanks Simon.

@Sampleconstruct: Great! Keep up your fanstastic sound-design work

Thank you for creating wonderful synths!

[Sampleconstruct]

@sampleconstruct Loved that!

Thank you

This is a great Upgrade to Icarus! Well done Markus! Icarus 2 feels like a different synth than V1, definitely better in a major way, love the Workstation approach! Glad i bought it!

This!

[Markus Krause]

Thanks a lot for the nice words!

i was thinking whether its possible to modulate the volume of drums, or individual drums...
+ another question: any plan to set the drums in polyrhythmic fashion? (i mean the ability to set different step lengths of individual drums)

[Markus Krause]

You can think about the drum-section as a completely separate synth. The mod-matrix is not connected to it.
Modulating the volume of the steps is possible in the current version. Use the vertical sliders in the grid on the left to set the velocity. Then set VelVol to 100%.

Polyrhythmic beats have also been requested by another customer. It is possible to create them with a trick: Combining the Arp and the Drums.
Example:
Load a snare sound to the osc section. Enable the Arp. Set Arp Loop to 5. The snare will now trigger after 5 steps, while the drums-section will loop after 16 steps.

Made a guitar patch with some pink noise. Is there a way to make the noise generator retrigger at the same starting point. I feel like it drifts, which is okay, just wondering. Random doodling. https://soundcloud.com/the-never-scene/ ... st/s-T7HAv

Yes:

1) Open the wavetable-editor
2) Select Init -> Pink noise to create a random-noise waveform
3) In the OSC select Sample -> One Shot wave
4) Set Osc octave to -4
