Checking Out iZotope Iris 2

I took the plunge the other day and bought iZotope's Iris 2 virtual synth (a 30% discount was quite helpful in that regard). Actually, synthesizer may be a misleading term. Iris 2 functions more like a sound design engine than a traditional synth. It also comes with an incredible 11 gig of samples you can use to create completely new sounds. I've already used one of the factory bass patches in a production music track I created over the weekend. Plus, I was quickly able to create a really eerie sounding drone that I then used on another track I'll be posting to Soundcloud later this week.
