![]() ![]() Use standard synth tools: tuning, amplitude envelope, LFO, modulation.Extra spectra from a graphical view of the sound, using familiar graphical selection tools (even a handy Magic Wand).Now, at last, you can use those same tools to create new sounds, not just restore old ones, and then jam with the results. iZotope bested those efforts with the most powerful graphical editing tool I’ve seen yet, in their RX product. MetaSynth remains an amazing tool, and since Iris can import sounds, using the two together could be mind-blowing.) Since MetaSynth, we’ve seen other efforts, like selection tools in Adobe’s own Soundbooth. (Developer Eric Wenger, alongside his former colleague Kai Krause, was an advocate of novel graphical interfaces in place of the run-of-the-mill, cut-and-paste UI. In fact, Iris looks like just what I dreamed of having back in the 90s when I first played with U&I Software’s graphic sound manipulation tool MetaSynth. It lets you do your creative sound editing, but then play those sounds live, transforming the technique into an instrument. Iris is a major landmark, though: instead of just being an editing tool, it turns sonic selection into something you can use in a synth. ![]() The dream of combining graphics tools, a la Photoshop, with sonic ones has been in the minds of creative computer users for some time. Imagine working with sound design by painting with spectra, then applying those spectra to instruments you can play in real-time, and you’ve got the basic notion of iZotope Iris. ![]()
