Icarus from TONE2 is a virtual synthesizer plug-in with 3D wavetable synthesis that expands on classic wavetable synthesis to provide cross-blend waveforms with wave morphing in three dimensions. Together with 54 synthesis modes, 70 modulation sources, 62 multimode filters, a vocoder module which uses real speech synthesis, and 53 different effects, this innovative instrument lets you create unconventional sounds, with enhanced dynamic expression and movements.
Icarus offers a Resynthesis function which allows you to select a WAV file and automatically build a patch that sounds like the original. The powerful wavetable editor offers experts over 100 professional tools to tweak wavetables, including an additive spectrum editor and the ability to paint waveforms with the mouse.
The easy-to-use interface and the included 1000 production-ready presets allow you to quickly and effortlessly to start producing distinctive-sounding tracks, with a wide palette of sonic colors.
