IRIDIUM is a mono/poly distortion synth. It features two generators (OSCs) with 16 waveforms each, followed by two key-tracked EQ's and two wave-shapers.
I get what you're saying, but for anyone who just wants to dial in some quick & dirty sounds, I think this is $9 well spent. It's Snakebite Lite. Which means fewer features and no direct CV modulation, but it's a much lighter CPU hit, and did I mention it's only $9Faastwalker wrote:Totally disappointing. And I haven't ever tried it.

everytime i have trialed a product or been on a beta test i end up having dramas with the authoriser, combined with the poor reason customer service its just not worth it.Loque wrote:decibel wrote:no vid's or sound demos ? too bad, im not into trialing products, creates too much of a headache with the authorizer systemi dont get it...

A bit harsh.JiggeryPokery wrote:decibel wrote:no vid's or sound demos ?
Frankly, it speaks volume about the device that its own creator hasn't used it.
I wouldn't quite go that far. I think it is just a matter of trying to coordinate all the pieces for launch time...JiggeryPokery wrote:decibel wrote:no vid's or sound demos ?

You can't argue with the price. And it looks like a decent device to me (still not tried it). But this wasn't my point. The lack of i/o appears that be a limitation of the IDK and that's a problem. Developers have made some great IDK instruments (Jiggery Pokery being one of the most prolific with some fantastic RE's). But they could be a lot more interesting with the full Reason feature set. The novel virtual cable routing in Reason is one of the things that has always set it apart and made it what it is. It's a fundamental element of the Reason experience. To have a development kit that doesn't allow developers to utilise this functionality in RE's feels somewhat half arsed to me.dvdrtldg wrote:I get what you're saying, but for anyone who just wants to dial in some quick & dirty sounds, I think this is $9 well spent.

So some will find a use for it, and others won't. What I really don't get is the "sick to death" attitude. You're saying the mere existence of this thing in the Props shop is detracting from your experience of using Reason?
Yes. I was trying to say that the developers know best what works and how much videos / sound examples help...pjeudy wrote:Isn't jiggery a developer?eusti wrote: Only the developers can really know how this influences the sales..
Hehe this made me giggle. It's IDT as in Instrument Development Toolkit. Rather than IDK as in 'I don't know.'Faastwalker wrote:You can't argue with the price.

Hopefully the development tools will eventually evolve to allow developers to add this most fundamental of Readon features. But until that time these things certainly won't detract from my experience of using Reason (whatever gave you that idea?!). Been using since version 1 and not about to change anytime soon. Just probably won't be using too many IDK RE's until they catch up with Reason 1 (come on Propellerhead. No more handicapped RE's. Sort out that development kit for please, please, please).
