Icarus 3

Extremely Powerful High-End Synthesizer Workstation

Icarus 3 is a powerful synthesizer workstation with a wide sonic range. The award-winning instrument combines classic and unconventional synthesis methods and offers extensive options for sound design.

Its audio engine features more than 30 synthesis methods, a drum sequencer, vocoder, 78 filter types, glitch sequencer, resynthesis, wavetable editor, advanced oscillator section and multistage envelopes (MSEGs).

Despite its extensive feature set, Icarus 3 remains easy to use. The interface provides visual feedback and context-sensitive help to support both beginners and experienced users.

Icarus 3 delivers high-end sound quality while maintaining low CPU usage.

SOUNDS

Icarus 3 includes over 2,000 hand-picked patches created by professional sound designers. The presets cover a wide range of production-ready sounds and are designed for easy integration into mixes.

INTERFACE & WORKFLOW

User-friendly interface with multiple sizes and extensive visual feedback
Context-sensitive help for quick access to relevant information
Animated frequency displays and visual feedback for sound shaping
Intuitive workflow suitable for beginners and experienced users

SYNTHESIS & OSCILLATORS

Icarus 3 supports more than 30 synthesis methods, including:

3D and classic wavetable synthesis
FM, additive, granular and subtractive synthesis
Phase distortion and formant synthesis
Hypersaw and Supersaw
PWM
Sample playback
Physical modeling
Resynthesis
Vocoder

Three stereo oscillator blocks provide a wide and immersive sound with extensive control over detuning and phase behavior.

FILTERS

Icarus 3 features 78 filter types based on more than 300 algorithms developed over several decades.

Two modular filter blocks provide stereo architecture, flexible routing and multimode options. Stereo distortion sections with multiple modes offer additional sound-shaping possibilities.

An animated display shows the frequency response and provides visual feedback for precise adjustments.

EFFECTS

Icarus 3 features an extensive modular effects section with numerous effect types that can be combined for creative sound design.

Effects include multiple reverbs, delays, modulation effects, chorus, flanger, distortion, glitch sequencer and more.

SEQUENCER & ARPEGGIO

The built-in arpeggiator creates melodies with features including glides, swing and shuffle, split, smart note sorting, matrix integration and precise control over direction and velocity.

The drum sequencer supports patterns and sample playback for additional rhythmic possibilities.

MODULATION

Icarus 3 provides extensive modulation options including drag & drop modulation, multiple envelope types, multistage envelopes (MSEGs), LFOs and a flexible modulation matrix.

These features enable detailed and dynamic modulation of sounds and parameters.

HIGH-END SOUND QUALITY

Icarus 3 is designed for high sound quality and produces detailed audio with low CPU usage. Its synthesis engine handles complex sound structures while maintaining efficient system performance.
