About Waldorf Iridium

iridium

Enhance your music production with the sophisticated Iridium Digital Polyphonic Desktop Synthesizer, an advanced musical instrument from Waldorf Music. As the compact 'sibling' to the widely acclaimed Quantum Synthesizer, the Iridium synthesizer brings futuristic functionality and superior tonality into a sleek, desktop-friendly format.

This professional-grade synthesizer upholds the high-quality standards that Waldorf customers have come to expect, delivering a plethora of powerful sounds and controls designed to inspire creativity. The Iridium synthesizer features Waldorf's signature wavetable style, complete with speech synthesis and wavetable generation from audio. Its innovative real-time modulation across wavetables and various interpolation modes offer a wide range of sound creation possibilities.

The Iridium synthesizer also boasts a waveform feature with up to 8 simultaneous waves per oscillator, offering detuned or chordal modes and an internal high-quality hard-sync. Its modulatable waveform warping and PWM, along with a tunable noise particle, provide a rich stereo sampler in traditional and granular mode using multi-samples.

The synthesizer's resonator uses noise or multi-sampling plus a filter bank sound model, with many modulatable spectral parameters. Its kernel feature includes 6 internal kernel operators per Osc using various FM, Ring-Mod, AM, or wavetable based audio-rate modulations.

The Iridium synthesizer also offers two digital stereo filters in various modes and configurations, including innovative link modes. Its digital former includes additional digital algorithms per voice like comb filter, Waldorf classic highpass, band-pass & notch filters from Nave, Largo, or PPG models, bit-crusher, drive, and more.

With a flexible routing system for the order of filters & digital former and individual oscillator routings, 6 LFOs in poly and global mode with an extensive parameter set, and 6 loopable envelopes with curve control and modulatable envelope timings, the Iridium synthesizer is a versatile tool for any musician or producer.

The synthesizer also features a master effect rack of 5 slots for each timbre, choosing from FX like phaser, flanger, chorus, reverb, drive, EQ, and more. Its step sequencer with step recording, parameter automation, and scale-based pitch quantization, along with a pad button matrix for sequencer, arpeggiator, sampler, or live performing control, make it a comprehensive solution for music production.

The Iridium synthesizer supports polyphonic aftertouch, mono and latch buttons, and unisono mode. It also offers a module-based preset system for effects, oscillators, step-sequencer, and Komplex modulator, with single-function potentiometer and encoder controls for intuitive editing.

With a high-resolution capacitive multitouch display for visualization and deeper sound editing, a spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope at various processing stages, and up to 7,000 sound patch capacity organized by banks, attributes, author, features, and patch number, the Iridium synthesizer is a high-quality, innovative tool for any music production setup.
