Tone2 Icarus 3D wavetable synth coming Summer 2016

Tone2 Audio has announced the forthcoming release of its Icarus 3D wavetable synthesizer instrument for Windows and Mac.

Icarus is a exceptionally powerful, new synthesizer with ‘3D wavetable synthesis’. It offers a fresh signature sound, which quickly catches your audiences’ attention. The easy to use interface and a massive amount of inspiring factory sounds allow you to create professional tracks rapidly and with very low effort.
Icarus is a ‘3D wavetable synth’, because we extended the popular traditional wavetable synthesis, which allows to cross-blend waveforms, with an additional dimension for morphing. This is one of the secrets why Icarus can create very special sounds with lots of dynamic expression and movement. Most of these unique sounds are hard, or impossible to create with other synthesizers.
Icarus offers the power of hardware and the flexibility of software. It offers a huge sonic range and is extremely versatile, but still remains very easy to use. The exceptionally powerful audio engine is able to reproduce all important synthesizer sounds.
This synthesizer can do: All classic synthesis methods, 3D wavetables, morphing, resynthesis of samples…
It has: 53 effects, 3×10 stereo oscillators with hypersaw, dual stereo filters with 62 filter types and distortion, an arpeggiator, a vocoder, a wavetable editor…
