After lots of previous previews, Tone2 has been in touch to say that, finally, after several years of development, what they describe as their masterpiece is finished. Here's the story in their own words...

Icarus is a exceptionally powerful, new synth with '3D wavetable synthesis'. Many 'Icarus sounds' can not be created by other synthesizers.  The innovative resynthesis can rebuild any sound with a mouse-click. An easy to use interface and a massive amount of inspiring factory sounds allow you to create fantastic tracks rapidly.

What is '3D wavetable synthesis'?

We extended the popular traditional wavetable synthesis, which is capable of cross-blending waveforms, with an additional dimension for morphing. Together with many other innovations, this is one of the secrets, why Icarus can create sounds with lots of dynamic expression and movement. Get instantly inspired by a massive amount of fresh sounds and create tracks with an unique character!

Is Icarus the most powerful synthesizer?
Icarus 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. As a result you can replace a very expensive collection of hard- and software with a single synthesizer. Furthermore you do not longer have to deal with a large number of different and complicated user interfaces.
This synthesizer can do: All classic synthesis methods, 3D wavetables, morphing, resynthesis of samples and speech, vocoder ... It has: 53 effects, 3x10 stereo oscillators with hypersaw, dual stereo filters with 62 filter types, a powerful wavetable editor...
