Open the finder. Then you can drag&drop a wav sample in the drum module. Drop the file to where the sample name is displayed. This method has the advantage that you're also able to pre-listen the sounds.

Another useful function: a way to scroll through drum sounds in the drum module. A comprehensive browser is not necessary, but up/down arrow buttons or a even a keyboard-command that would load the next .wav in a given folder - this would hugely speed up the workflow and minimize the amount of times it opens the Finder window when loading a sample!

Hello,
I have been using the Icarus 3 beta. Absolutely loving it so far.

There are a few requests and suggestions I'd like to mention.

  • The oscillator parameter text, notably in the Granular modes where the waveform is big, is very difficult to read over top the waveform like that.
    (edit: please don't hotlink images hosted on external servers because of the privacy EU laws and security reasons)

  • I've also noticed that there is something causing the oscillator waveform selection arrows to forget their position.

    Example: Let's say I toggle the arrows to change waveforms to Stacked -> Square 2x. A short while later, when I decide I want to change the oscillator waveform again, if I toggle to arrow it will revert back to 'Saw' at the very beginning of the list instead of continuing through the Stacked folder.

    I experienced this behaviour in Icarus 2.5 as well, and it continues in 3.

  • And lastly, one feature I would love to see is a way to switch the order of filter settings.

    Lets say I have a carefully tuned, key-followed setting on Filter 1 and a key-followed bandpass on Filter 2. But I decide they would sound better in the opposite order; the only option I have is to copy one filter over to the other, thereby completely losing the previous setting. If there was a way to simply switch their order, I think it could open up a lot options.

Thank you for your consideration and for building such a phenomenal synthesizer.

Best,
L

Awesomesauce
Looking forward to it.
Tone 2 products are my go to VST synths.  I pretty much have deleted anything else. The low CPU usage is a major factor, among the fact that they are inspiring to use and sound amazeballs.
Keep up the good work mate,

RayBlaster / Re: RayBlaster 3.0.2 GUI does not show up when parameter is externally modulated
« Last post by Markus Krause on March 11, 2024, 07:23:42 AM »
Hello Al,

such an issue is not known to us and hasn't been reported by other users during the last years.
We'll investigate this and take care of it in the next update if there should be a bug from our side.

Best Regards,
Markus Krause

RayBlaster / RayBlaster 3.0.2 GUI does not show up when parameter is externally modulated
« Last post by jonetsu on March 11, 2024, 04:24:25 AM »
Hello Markus,

I found a bug that's reproducible under Bitwig 5.1.3 (latest).  When a RayBlaster parameter is modulated by a Bitwig LFO the RayBlaster GUI will not show up when it should.  At that time, when it is taking time to show up, disabling the modulation immediately makes the RayBlaster GUI appear.  Each and every time.

The opposite action is also true.  When the RayBlaster GUI is being shown then asked to go away, it won't go away until the modulation is disabled.  This is also reproducible every time.

I tried with Icarus 1.6 and the problem does not appear.

Now, this limits modulation to the modulators available in RayBlaster.  There's a choice of modulators of course int here, but Bitwig has extensive modulators of every kind.

Under the same conditions, which is Bitwig 5.1.3 Linux running Windows VSTs, MSoundFactory does not show this problem at all.

Icarus / ICARUS 3 ?
« Last post by Dumtek on March 10, 2024, 06:07:08 PM »
Is there such a thing?
I have 2.5.3 but it seems there is a 3 now on the main site.
If so, is it a free upgrade?
When i try to download the latest version it takes me to a purchase page.
