New features:- Drag&Drop support: Drag LFO/ENV and drop it to a knob to create a matrix entry for modulation
- Right-click on a knob opens a menu where you can assign modulation sources
- Modualtion depth control on top left of a knob if a source is assigned
- Sectors on knobs show the modulation amount. Clipping is shown in red.
- Hovering the mouse over a knob shows the current parameter value and modulation source
- The buttons of OSCs, Filters, LFOs, ENVs, which are inactive are greyed out
- Responsive GUI with Tooltips
- New waveform display mode 'Hypersaw', which shows the detuning of the oscillators
- help->Show version info
- Mouse cursor changes on editing halftones in arp
- Right click on a knob->reset initializes to the default value
- Visual feedback if a button in the wavetable editor is pressed
- TRIG button for the LFO section
- New sync mode for LFOs 'Arp/Lfo soft trig' which retriggers monophonic LFOs after 1 second of silence
- New sync mode for LFOs 'Arp/Lfo classic trig', which allows to set free mode for every LFO individually
- SEMI knob for the OSC section
- New matrix target 'Filter Balance'. It's usefull to control the relationship of the filter volumes when two filters are routed in parallel.
Enhancements:- Drawing custom shapes with the STEP Lfo is more comfortable

- Parameters are more easy to adjust
- Patch rankings are only stored when the user clicks on the stars

- Many other small enhancements for the user interface
- Quick save is more smart
- Category is rotating for a more comfortable patch browsing
- Workaround for buggy hosts which submit duplicate noteOn commands. The Arp does not longer produce hanging note
- Legato is more easy to setup
- Drag&Drop of a wav sample to the OSC display can now create a new resynthesized patch
- LFOs are more smart
Changes:- MONO in the LFO section has been replaced with TRIG
- On initializing a new patch the default mode is set to 'Arp/Lfo soft trig'
- OSC Punch and OSC Keyfollow button have been moved to SETUP
Fixes:- Matrix source 'Filter Env' sometimes didn't work
- Removed a glitch from 'Alien Spaceship Mac.fxp'
Icarus v1.1 offers adding mod sources in two new ways:1) Drag&drop : - Select one of the 4 envelopes or LFOs
- Click and hold on ENV or LFO
- A line appears that while still holding teh mouse button could be dragged to the knob you like
- A green line means that using that ENV or LFO is OK for that parameter you currently hover. A red line mean it is not usable there.
- Release the mouse button and the ENV or LFO will be assigned to that knob (or release over an emty part of the GUI to abort).
- The new modulation is added to the mod matrix and you could adjust the mod amount there
- The mod amount/range is also displayed within the knobs, in a lighter color than the knob
- Right-click on a knob and click on "remove modulation" to remove it
2) Right-click menu:- Right-click on a knob to choose a mod source from teh drop-down menus
- The new modulation is added to the mod matrix and you could adjust the mod amount there
- The mod amount/range is also displayed within the knobs, in a lighter color tahn the knob
- Right-click on a knob and click on "remove modulation" to remove it
