Icarus 1.6 is a major update, which is available for free. It includes new resynthesis modes, additional effects, a better user interface, enhanced sound and a large number of new features. Icarus 1.6 is downward compatible with all previous versions. All existing song projects and patches can be loaded without any further steps necessary. They will benefit from the enhanced sound quality.

New features:

IMPORT SAMPLE->'Resynthesis smart pitch snap' drastically enhances the sound quality of the resynthesis function. You can select a WAV file and it automatically creates a synthesizer patch which syncs to BPM.
IMPORT SAMPLE->'Resynthesis of melody' is a new feature. It can import complete phrases or melodies in WAV format. It automatically programs a patch that sounds very similar to the original. It reprograms the melody in the arpeggiator. Furthermore it creates a wavetable with the harmonic content of the patch. The patches can further be tweaked, time stretched or modified.
IMPORT SAMPLE->'Resynthesis with dynamic pitch' can import a wave. It automatically creates a patch which sounds similar to the original one. This mode does analyse the pitch information of the patch and programs the STEP LFO with a pitch envelope.
IMPORT SAMPLE->'Beat slice drumloop' cuts a sample into 16 or 32 waveforms and creates a patch with plays a BPM synced loop.
New effect: 'Reverb Gated' which syncs to the BPM rate. It works best for drum sounds or arpeggiators.
New effect: 'Reverb Gated Echo' is Gated Reverb with a delay which syncs to BPM.
new effect: 'Reverb Reverse' which syncs to the BPM rate.
new effect: 'Reverb Decay' which syncs to the BPM rate.

'Shift notes up' shifts the notes in the arpeggiator one halftone up.
'Shift notes down' shifts the notes in the arpeggiator one halftone down.
'rotate 1 slot left' rotates the notes in the arpeggiator.
'rotate 1 slot right' rotates the notes in the arpeggiator.
The morph knob now shows the number of quantized steps.
The wavetable editor shows a large slider with a grid if modifiers with 'value' are edited.
Osc->Tool 'Resynthesis smart snap'.
Wavetable editor->Spectrum->'Sort by brightness' sorts waveforms by their harmonic content. It can be used to create wobbles.
Wavetable editor->Resynthesis->'Resynthesis smart snap'.

Additional notes:

The main task of AkustiX is enhancement, mastering and audio restauration. AkustiX should be placed as an insert effect which processes the sum of all channels, because some dynamic psychoakustic effects like fatbass or clarity enhance only can work in this way. However AkustiX v1.1 can now also be loaded as an insert effect for single channels, since may users requested this. We recommend to run AkustiX with 44kHz.
