From Manufacturer
Iona from AIR Music Technology is a virtual instrument synthesizer for those that desire the vintage sound of monosynths like the Model D and MS-20, as well as today's SH-101. Delivering timeless basses, leads, and sequences and featuring a 128-step pattern sequencer and graphical editor with flexible performance controls, Iona is versatile. Iona works with DAWs that support AU, AAX, VST2, and VST3 protocols running on Windows or Mac systems, as well as running on MPC/Force standalone systems running 3.6 or later.
Sleek Design, Simple Controls
Iona was carefully designed with your MPC or DAW workflow in mind. It has an intuitive front-panel display with familiar controls and simple navigation so that you can focus on creating.
Meticulously Modeled Sound Sources
At the heart of Iona is a faithfully modeled sound architecture featuring a pulse-width modulated wave and sawtooth, sub, and noise sources, plus original VCO pitch and modulation controls. These details deliver rich, unmistakably vintage tones—from thick, punchy basses to expressive leads.
Dynamic Pulse-Width Modulation
Add complexity and character to your sound with robust pulse-width modulation via LFO, envelope, or manual slider. For deeper modulation exploration, Iona's BPM-syncable LFO has nine selectable wave shapes.
Step Sequencer and Arpeggiator
Add snappy and evolving patterns with a 128-step sequencer that maintains the original instrument's feel while adding transpose and a graphical editor. Iona's built-in arpeggiator sparks instant rhythmic inspiration.
Classic Filter Sound and Behavior
Iona features a vintage-inspired filter with envelope, LFO, and keyboard tracking, ADSR filter envelope assignable to VCA, portamento, and customizable modulation control.
Built-In Presets and Effects
Start experimenting with new sounds and recording your ideas immediately with Iona's 100+ included factory presets. The instrument's effects section puts a bit-crushing lo-fi, robust delay, spacious reverb, and EQ controls, front and center on your screen for on-the-fly adjustments.
Customizable Look to Match Your Vibe
Personalize the visual identity of your Iona while you dial in your signature sound. Choose from five different color skins-grey, red, blue, white, and yellow-each saved per preset.
