Desktop digital synthesizer Waldorf Iridium at a glance: Arpeggiator Digital desktop synthesizer 16 voices Dual timbral: split, layered or Unisono mode 3 Stereo oscillators with five synthesis shapes each Wavetable: Waldorfstyle with the latest Nave technology including voice synthesis and generation of Wavetables from external audio sources Waveform: Waveform with up to 8 simultaneous waveforms per oscillator in detuned or chordal mode with hard sync, warp, PWM as well as pitchable noise Particle: Granular sampler with multi-sampling and traditional sampling mode Resonator: exciter with multi-sampling and filterbank modeling Kernel: a meticulously structured tool for creating futuristic experimental sounds and FM-like sounds Two digital Multimode filters per voice with innovative link mode Digital shaper: additional digital algorithms per voice like comb filters, high, low & Bandpass as well as notch filters (Nave, Largo or PPG models), bit crusher, Drive and more Flexible routing system for the arrangement of digital filters, digital formers and oscillator routing 6 LFOs 6 loopable envelopes Complex modulator Extensive modulation matrix with up to 40 entries Master effects with 5 slots each for both timbres with effects like phaser, flanger, chorus, reverb, drive, EQ and more Step sequencer with parameter automation and scale-based pitch quantization Visual sound editing via the high-resolution multitouch display With the IRIDIUMWaldorf presents the successful desktop version of the exceptional synthesizer QUANTUM which can be considered a milestone in the history of synthesizers. Besides the missing keyboard and the resulting smaller housing (in Waldorf KYRA format), the 16 backlit pads are immediately noticeable. These are used for programming the internal sequencer, among other things. The Iridium shines with a stately 16 vo ices (Quantum: 8 voices) and has eight control voltage inputs and outputs on the back. The analogue Dual Lowpass filter of the Quantum was not adopted, this was replaced by a digital Dual Multimode filter. Synthesis At the heart of the Iridium are its three digital oscillators, each with five selectable synthesis modes: Wavetable: Waldorfstyle with the latest Nave technology including speech synthesis and generation of Wavetables from external audio sources Waveform: Waveform with up to 8 simultaneous waveforms per oscillator in detuned or chordal mode with hard sync, warp, PWM as well as pitchable noise Particle: Granular sampler with multi-sampling and traditional sampling mode Resonator: exciter with multi-sampling and filterbank modeling Kernel: a meticulously structured tool for creating futuristic experimental sounds and FM-like sounds The oscillators on their own do some incredible things and offer an enormous range of different sounds. Since there are even more parameters under the hood...
