Icarus feature requests

[AnalogSignal]

The two features I am looking for the most are:

1. Sample playback
2. Send (instead of insert) effects

[OneOfManyPauls]

why would send effects be useful in a monotimbral instrument?

you can already change wet/dry via the mix1/2/3 knobs.

[AnalogSignal]

why would send effects be useful in a monotimbral instrument?

For example, I would like 100% dry sound and 40% of an effect.

[OneOfManyPauls]

maybe I'm being dumb - but isn't that the same ratio as moving the mix knob to 71% dry/29% wet and increasing the volume by 40%?

I'm not sure if it's the same but it's probably close.

But now how would you achieve 100% dry sound plus send 30% to effect 1, send 22% to effect 2, send 90% to effect 3? All three effects are on separate send channels.

I would love to see the ability to save the matrix settings, like one is able to save the settings in the fx section.

wish a oversampling mode 

[Burkuagh]

Any chance that OSC Phase setting could be added to the list of modulation destinations.  I know it does nothing to adjust it while a note is held but I would love to have it be able to be modulated with Velocity.

I love turning the Detune control to 0 and then adjusting the Phase.  It adds a whole world of variations for each or the Play Modes.  Getting to modulate this with Velocity would be amazing.

At present, when importing large samples there are 2 options:

1) stop after the first 256 waveforms of the sample have been added to the 256 waveform slots in the wavetable
2) preserve original sample length (waveform count dependent on sample length)

would it be possible to have a third option whereby all 256 waveform slots are used by taking every (total/256)th waveform from the sample?

Hello Markus,

First thx a lot for this beast,waiting a long time for a synth like this.
What i would love to see is the option to lock the modules like on the virus Ti and some
sections of Nexus. For example when you like the fx section you just build, that i can lock it for browsing presets with a right- mouse click menu . So  the Fx does not change. Same for glide etc.

Thx in advance

Grtz Martijn.

Hi.

Cool update (1.1). However, i found that the HP 12 and 24 filters are flipped. So the 12 dB is 24 dB and vice versa.

[Markus Krause]

Requested by email:

I would like to have a function to mute an oscillator with a ctrl (or other modifier) click on the respective oscillator button, in such a way that the focus is not switched to that oscillator, but it only gets muted.

Filtering function for the browser:
filtering for legato sounds, for sounds that use the arpeggiator or certain type of synthesis. The users could click on a tag on the right of the patch browser and only sounds which contain the tag are visible.

I would like the the "enveloppe shape" also modifies the attack part of the enveloppe. Actually, it seems that the attack is always linear. Ideally, it would be nice to have a "shape" button per stage.
Thanks.

Sorry, don't know where else to post this: when selecting preset categories with the up down arrows and then changing direction (e.g: up, up, down), I get a crash. This is on Icarus 32 bit V1.1 on Win 8.1 64 with either standalone or in ACID pro 7.
Aside from that, V1.1 looks really great so far!

Cheers and happy holidays!

Dumbo

P.S.
Tried to recreate it and it seems that just the down arrow makes the problem...?

[Markus Krause]

Hello Dumbo,

you can find the formsheet for reporting bugs here:
https://tone2.com/html/bug%20reporting.html

It seems to be a system specific problem, since the problem does not appear on the systems of other users.
I'd recommend that you do a reeinstall of icarus. You can download the installer here:
https://www.tone2.com/Tone2_Icarus.zip

If this does not solve your problem you can contact me directly by email (also in German) at markus[a t]tone2[do t]com . Then we'll try to find our what causes it.

Happy Holidays,
Markus
