We've expanded the popular hypersaw concept with a stereo architecture, precise phase
control, punch and the ability to make single oscillators play chords.
37 different modes are available, including, hypersaw, supersaw, stereo hypersaw, unison,
stacking, chords and flanging.
The hypersaw modes can be combined with any kind of wavetable and morph mode.
Filters
Tone2 Icarus comes with a powerful, modular filter section. Two blocks, each equipped with
true stereo architecture and a multi-mode filter.
Over 60 different sounding filter types are available: Vocal, fractal, analog, digital, resonator,
EQ, ring modulation, amplitude modulation, FM, phaser, comb, physical modeling, multi-
mode, resampling, … All filters offer the highest possible sound quality, many of them
exclusive to Icarus.
The animated display offers an immediate visual overview of the filter's frequency response,
making it easy to understand and tweak the filters.
Flexible routing allows you to route every oscillator individually to filter1, filter2 or bypass.
Additionally, two distortion sections, each with 9 different modes allow you to further shape
the sound.
Vocoder
Icarus contains a high-end quality vocoder module with 1024 bands. It's very easy to use:
Simply click on 'Vocoder' and select a wav file containing speech, Icarus will analyze this file
and automatically create a patch.
Optionally, apply one of the morph modes to further shape your sound. Playing the sound
forwards, backwards, formant shifting, time-stretching and looping is also possible.
The vocoder sound is automatically stored within your patches and songs, you won't have to
worry about managing these additional files on your hard disc.
Arpeggiator
Almost a synth by itself, the arpeggiator section holds the key to all of your arpeggio needs. It
provides you with the tools to set up & use your own arpeggios, in a way that is both powerful
and easy.
Working with the arpeggiator is very simple, just lay down your notes inside the note
sequencer and select the play direction. The arpeggiator also supports advanced features
such as chords, glides, swing & shuffle, split, matrix integration, as well as giving you very
precise control over note-sorting, play direction and velocity.
on’t feel like programming your own patterns? Use one of the built-in patterns or load one of
the many external pattern presets to use as a starting point.
Working with an arpeggiator should be fun and inspiring, the arpeggiator in Icarus is as fun
and inspiring as it is powerful, flexible and easy to use.
