Icarus / Re: Icarus feature requests
Last post by Markus Krause - October 21, 2025, 10:25:05 AMHello Bukuagh,
I assume that this is related to the mousewhell scrollspeed settings.
Open the mouse settings in your operating system. Then change the scrollspeed of the mousewhell to the minimum.
I will add an additional speed limit for the mouse to +-1 for the next update.
You can also use the arrows next to osc1 to quickly switch through the wavetables.

Icarus / Re: Icarus feature requests
Last post by Burkuagh - October 20, 2025, 09:38:02 AMWasn't sure where exactly to post this but I found a possible bug in Icarus. On the main interface window in the OSC sections when you use the mousewheel to scroll through wavetables it skips every other wavetable jumping 2 at a time.

Icarus / Re: Factory patches of Icarus ...
Last post by HeinerK - October 19, 2025, 10:39:50 PMThank you very much, now I learnt something! It sounds pretty close to the original patch. Are there any courses on how to implement specific sound ideas in Icarus 3? I would be interested in that.

Icarus / Re: Factory patches of Icarus ...
Last post by Markus Krause - October 19, 2025, 07:07:25 PMIt's a lowpass filtered sawtooth pad.
To recreate it in Icarus3:
1) Init a new patch
2) In Osc1 change 'Mono' to HyperStereo 4 and set Spread to 30
3) In the filter section change cutoff to 50%, set key to 100% and select LP Butter 24dB as filtertype

Here are a bunch of sounds that have been removed in Icarus3 that were included to the previous versions. You should find the patch among these:

Best Regards,
Markus
Unfortunately, the patch isn't included; I've gone through them all. I think you'll recognize it right away when you hear it and maybe you can help me. Unfortunately, I'm totally incapable of setting it up myself in Icarus 3, so I have to rely on the preset. It's actually a simple warm pad, but it's outstanding in quality and wonderfully lively. You can also customize it great with the mod wheel—I really only need this sound... In the attached example, Icarus 1.6 kicks in after just two bars:
