TONE 2 ICARUS FREE PATCH

All sounds u hear are in there already (when u install it) and also many many more + u can easily make yr own even if u r beginner. In my defense I even choosed to be in G minor scale which should sound 'tragic' and sometimes it does. Sounds like a happy tune with commercial like sounds, it wasn't my intention, I just went with the flow. In the end, not perfect but I hope listenable.

On master bus were used eq and several compressors + Limiter No6. Only daw faders was used (no panning too). No any effects except on master buss to make it louder. I wish that I allowed myself to use at least volume automation (in second part) but no, no automation at all.

On vocoder patch I used lowpass at about 13k, there was a lot high frequency content, don't want to scary kids (too much), some is still there so kids.beware :) (click on 'show more') On several patches had to lower Icarus effects. Only some things had to be changed, overall 99% is unchanged. It seems in practice that's harder than making new patches, especially because it has re-synthesis but I tried to stick to those rules. Idea was simple: only Icarus and only whats already in there. (Image credit: Future) Performance and verdict With an onboard Drum Sequencer, you can build drum and percussion tracks into your patches, while the Glitch Sequencer is a fine addition for mad rhythmic processing.This demo doesn't expand what Icarus can do, whats the point if another user cant replicate it. The most attention-grabbing new feature of Icarus 2, then, is the Drum Sequencer, with which rhythm tracks can be triggered alongside your synth lines. One-shot samples (around 250 are included) and/or loops (automatically synced to tempo) are loaded into five tracks and sequenced in the usual X0X-style way. Per-step Velocity sliders govern volume, while pitch can be tweaked directly and modulated by velocity DSR envelope sliders shape the dynamics of each sample and an effects send routes individual tracks to one of the three FX modules. The global sequencer rate and length are adjustable, and the bipolar Swing/Shuffle parameter brings the groove. There’s no denying xthe punch and spectral range, nor them staggering versatility of its architecture Given its ‘secondary’ status, the Drum Sequencer is appropriately simple but effective.

It’s just a shame you can’t change track rates and lengths independently of each other to create polyrhythmic percussion lines. Providing the means with which to design intricate rhythmic modulation shapes and sequences, we suspect the two host-syncable MSEGs will prove far more useful than the Drum Sequencer for most Icarus users. Any number of breakpoints can be clicked in, and the lines between them curved by dragging.Īdjustable grid resolution and snap-to-grid make detailed editing easy, and further niceties include separate start and loop points, delay and fade-in. It’s as solid and flexible a multistage envelope as we’ve seen in any synth – great stuff. Totally inspiring, utterly absorbing, ridiculously versatile and sounding phenomenal, VPS Avenger is quite unlike any other synth out there. Thorn is a world-class soft synth that we confidently predict will become a dance music production staple. Tone2 suggest that Icarus 2 now qualifies as a ‘workstation’, but we’d take issue with that. Yes, the new drum sequencer and ability to use the MSEGs (and Arpeggiator) to ‘sequence’ individual oscs enables it to create simple tracks in a single instance, but that’s a long way from the true multitimbrality – ie, layering and keysplitting of multiple patches, and/or assignment of them to separate MIDI channels – that defines a workstation synth. In fact, though the drum sequencer is capable enough, we could take it or leave it – we’d always rather program our beats in a dedicated plugin rather than a sub-section of a synth.
